I found my old list of mods:


Toda Stroker with Pauter Rods
HKS3240 Turbo
BJ Intake Manifold
Autronic Standalone
Buschur FMIC
Buschur Mini battery Kit
Buschur upper I/C pipe
PWR aluminum radiator
FRH Stage 3 Head (Automotosports)
1mm oversized valves
Supra fuel pump
1000cc injectors
RMR 3" exhaust
High flowing racing cats
RMR intercooler hardpipe kit
Exedy twin disk clutch
HKS 272 cams
HKS cam gears
JIC FLT-A2 coilovers
HRE 843r's 19" Gunmetal
and more...


I built this car before U.S. tuners had any real upgrades availaable. It made 550 awhp on C16. If I had to do it again I'd stick with a built 2.0L (rev to 10,000 rpms) and an AMS or Buscher 35r kit. THis was a fun car and very fast but the HKS manifold was a real problem.

Backoff,

Reconsider stroking the engine. I had both a 2.3l and a built 2.0L and much preferred the built 2.0L. I also had the 3037 before the 3240. The 3037 and 3240 share all parts with the exception of the turbo. The weakness is not in the HKS turbo itself, it's in the HKS manifold. AMS and Buschur have performed well over the years but there are other options available. Good luck with your build!

I was one the first guy in the states to use the HKS set up - I chose the 3037 unit and then upgraded to the 3040 - the feature on the car back then was in Oct 2003 Modified Magazine

I did a best of 10.9 and 575 whp with that configuration

IMHO the Gt35 is a vastly superior turbo and a lot cheaper than the HKS derivatives

Unless you are a HKS fan boy all their stuff is highly overpriced and their additude sucks
