AKIRA Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 okay, My dad bought a 92 loyale for a daily driver, how are some cheap ways to get more power out of it? Drill holes in the airbox no muffler or turbo muffler anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Check the archives, but not much is available without getting into the engine, drilling the airbox, or remiving the bottom entirely only adds 2 cfm of flow to the intake track, so realistically adds .66 hp. the exhaust on the subies is tuned for low end torque so i would leave it that way for good round town traveling. unless you go into the engine you can't really get much more hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooperjeep Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I did the following performance mods to my 92 Loyale, 4WD, auto: * NGK spark plugs * Bosh high capacity wires * Drilled Air box bottom * K&N air filter * removed 2nd cat-converter It runs a little better now. But it's only a 90 HP engine and with the automatic it's slow. But it still handles great, has awsome 4WD, and is a blast to drive. T.J.

MorganM Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Might wanna complement all those fancy ignition components with a real coil that will utilize them Like the Super Stock. Maybe someone can kick you a part number? Mine isnt handy. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIRA Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'll just do the airbox does anybody have some pics of the holes drilled in the airbox? I want to know size, exact location, ect...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIRA Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 the accel "superstock" coil is Part no. 8140 add a "C" to the end if you want it in chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I would cut the whole bottom from the intake box, or adapt a K&N cone filter to the MAF. You can advance the timing a few deg and run 93 octance fuel for a few more ponies. Then a glasspack would complement that well. New plugs (NGK), wires, coil, dist cap and rotor would clear things up a free up some lost power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooperjeep Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 What kind of millage should I be getting with my 92 Loyale, 4WD, auto? It is only between 12 and 19 Mpg. I did a lot of "tune up" work (see previous post) but still have a 35 (Purge Control Valve) so I gotta go to the junk yard in Wayland tomorrow to scrouge for a new one, because the dealer wants $102 for a new one. Do all Auto, Loyales get lousy gas millage? What else should I check?! T.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I would check my neighbor to see if he was siphoning gas while I slept! I get a respectable 20mpg out of my 90Loyale AT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
