3.5 in ic
Ported Mani hotside and 02 housing 3in tbe
It holds 25 like a dream so now what I want to do
Gsc s2 cams
Super tech spring retainer kit
Apr head studs
Now I wanna run e85 so I'm confused on why injectors to get.. I'm thinking around the 1200 range, and my tune now is 11.0 flat all away across
So I'm looking for 450ish hp think I can achieve this and what am I missing.. I think my turbo will hold 28ish lbs so isk I need some help here
Thanks for any help and sorry for the typing I'm typin on a I phone

Upping the sizse of the ic pipeing isn't a good idea. Stick with whatever the kit comes with. But rereading if you have already done it oh well my bad. Yes injector wise 1150s, 1250s should be enough. With what you have added so far you should be in pretty good shape. E85 will make a huge difference and make sure you have a good tune to go along with your new stuff and you should be in pretty good shape.

I have just reg 2.5 but upgraded turbo and I'm in the mid 500s. From everything I have read larger ic pipe will hurt things some. Idk seems like everything I read has been changed time and time again. As Hiner said said it will be a stretch. A fp green is a totally different story. A good tune and proper mods I can see 500.

it depends on turbo size on what your IC pipes should be, usually you match your pipe sizes on the hot size to the same size as the discharge of the turbo. but it is ok to run a larger cold side pipe again this depends on the size of turbo but anything under persay a GT30 i wouldnt worry about it. ill be doing a 2.5 hotside 3inch cold side with a 4inch thick ETS core.

There was a thread on Buschurs forums way back a few years ago and they tested this. They went 3 inch 3.5 inch 4 inch ic pipes and all the larger ic diameters didn't do as well with a larger platform turbo. My ef4 is way larger then an 30r turbo and honestly I wouldn't go that route I would just keep what I have now.
