Default What could i get?

Ok i was just wondering if there is anything i can get for my 4banger to make it faster. like new air filters, air intake. anything lol. and what is the best way to clean up the engine other than getting it sandblasted and chromed or something. is there a spray or something i can do myself to clean it up a bit?

for cleaning your engine, get a couple cans of brakleen its by a company called crc. the can says its a brake parts cleaner but it wont hurt anything under your hood either...ive used it to clean things such as my throttle body and even a few things in my differential when i was replacing an axle. you just spray it on and it does most of the work itself. good luck

a clean engine bay is a happy engine bay...
the most important thing it makes it easier to spot leaks and other problems....
