i have an 86. Performance parts aren't as abundant as if you were driving a civic, but if you look in the right places you will find what your looking for.

Shoulda done your research first. Sky is the limit when it comes to mods... actually let me rephrase that... YOUR POCKETBOOK IS THE LIMIT. You wanna build a monster... you can.

lol!!!!!!! I have had the same problem myself, just spend a couple of nights resurchin the web. maybe read the other posts where the simular question came up. In one post az-zbum listed a few VERY helpful sites. I spent over $1000 in exhaust and various other parts...but, I have yet to get the parts. Its just a waiting game. Patients Is the key!

Also a couple mods you can do is take the upper intake manifold off of a Nissan Pathfinder and I believe it should bolt right on. Another thing you can do is take the throttle body off of a Nissan 240sx(I'm not sure what year) and it'll bolt right on.

The Pathfinder manifold is kinda a waste of time. I've read that it's a 1 - 4hp gain, and about the same for torque. You also have to modify the hood, as it sticks up a lot higher & will put nice dents in your hood if you don't.

The 60mm TB is a common good mod.
