New to the crossfire, was wondering if TVT Design is still in business, Would like to upgrade NA motor to the TVT 265. Or is there anything comparable out there.

 

TVT went out of business in 2010... As for their 265 upgrade, many question whether or not it was, in fact, an additional 50HP over stock.

If I had another N/A Crossfire, my mod list would be as follows:

• Needswings Single CAI
• 74mm Throttle Body
• Eurocharged ECU tune
• Remove rear cats
• Evosport Underdrive pulleys
• Sprint Booster (if manual trans)

And that's it. Injectors are a bigger headache than a blessing, and any other mod has such a small HP/$ ratio that it is pointless to perform. The above mods, all together, might net an additional 50 flywheel horsepower. The tune helps immensely, and Eurocharged is offering a sale on the tune this month. The car will be quick at that point, and very fun to drive although never quite "fast" unless you opt to jump in on the turbo group-buy.

Welcome to the forums, btw.

 

Thanks for the info, is Eurochrged the one in Plainfield, il. If so that would be real close to me

 

Last I looked I could not find the evosport under-drive pulley set, are they back up for sale somewhere on the web?

 

Here is a link given to me by another member on here:

thanks gunner!
I have debated on this for some time. I have held off for the turbo project however.

 

I'd wait until the turbo kit is complete, to see if the addition of an underdrive would affect things adversely.

From the feedback I've seen on MB-World, the UDP kit is good for a decreasing amount of HP as you go higher in the gears. Essentially, the load is greatest in lower gears, and the UDP kit's effect is most noticeable in gears 1-2-3. Something like 10hp in 1st gear, 8hp in 2nd, 6hp in 3rd and stays at around 5hp in all higher gears. This is actually a good thing, as this is where the Limited struggles most IMO. As long-legged as the car is, once it's moving it was never a slouch. It just struggled to get out of the hole, as evidenced by my 2.3 60' time (with no traction issues).

By itself, I'd say the effect of the Evorsport UDP wouldn't be that great. Combined with intake, tune, and a de-cat... it might put a bigger grin on your face.

 

Coming soon...tune, underdrives, decat, and exhaust. Should be good for a few goosebumps and a grin or two, lol
