I have a 1992 240 wagon with an M47 and LH3.1
I am seeking advice on modifying and tuning a B230F
My goal is to shift the power band up and make the car more lively. I don't want to open up the engine except for maybe some head work if it's necessary. I want to do a 4-2-1 wrapped header into a sport exhaust system and put a cam in at a minimum.
I've read a lot about the H cam and it seems to be my ideal choice since I'm willing to sacrifice low end power. The RSI cam seems awesome, but I don't know how to get one. I'm also wondering if the LH3.1 system will be able to handle these cams.
I have found two headers on the market. The simons header collects into a 2.5" pipe, which I guess you would mate up to a 2.5" exhaust. The KG header collects into 60mm which I guess you would mate up to a 2.25" exhaust. At what point is the 2.25" system going to limit me? Are there going to be any negative effects of going with the 2.5" system?
At what point are injectors and head work necessary?
And at what point does a standalone ecu make sense? I'm fairly skilled in electronics, wiring, and circuit board work.
