So I have a little more money now to spend on my car, just trying to decide what I should get next, any suggestions would be great.

Current Mods
AEM Intake
Synapse LICP
Greddy UICP
Evo 9 bpv
Hallman MBC (going to get it swapped out for a GM 3-port when I go to get tuned)
Prototype o2 dump downpipe (similar to the o2 eliminator downpipe that MAP makes)
Megan resonated testpipe
RSR GT2 catback (not the exmag, this one is really loud lol)
Stock evo 8 10.5 turbo
Weapon-R catch can (not sure if this makes a difference at all)
Exedy Stage 1 clutch

Besides that everything else is stock as far as I can remember, the next thing that I planned on buying were Kelford 272's with Crower springs and retainers which I'm getting for a really good deal. When I get those installed I'm going to get the ARP headstuds I just bought installed as well. Also, going to get a Walbro 255 (maybe the 400 depending on whether or not I can mod the housing without screwing it up). ATM, I don't really want to go with e85 only because the closest station is like 20+ miles away from me, when a station opens up closer I do plan on making the switch. I have a feeling that my clutch will start to slip with the added torque but I already have some $$$ saved up for when the time comes to replace it. So, with that said, what should I get next? Thanks guys.

 

20 miles isn't far for e85 you're lOoking at anywhere from 40-80awhp right there just buy 5-6 five gallon jugs and keep in garage or a drum. Great stuff and makes stock turbo really wake up

 

Also if you aren't going above 30psi or plan to I think studs are a waste to be honest. Also a fmic would be a good addition especially if u did go big turbo or e85 stock turbo. Other random small things like shifter bushings also make the car more to drive

Just my .02

 

I've considered doing multiple 5 gallon container thing before but it's something that I would really rather not do at the moment.

Also, I'm really doing the headstuds as a preventative measure more than anything even if I don't boost 30psi or more. I have considered a FMIC but I'm not sure which one to get, all I know is I want the biggest Garrett core that I can fit behind the stock crash beam without modification. Any suggestions on that?

I guess I should have been more descriptive but when I said mods I meant power mods, suggestions for suspension and other little things wouldn't hurt though so I know what to get once the time comes. Thanks though.

 

I have the buschur street fmic it's a very large garret core and flows up to some high hp. A little pricey but I think it's good to go for top end stuff on the ic system and cheap on exhaust if u have to. I've never heard of stock head bolts failing under 25-26 psi. What psi are you running? I personally have 5 five gal cans and I go fill up car and all cans and it lasts me 3-5 weeks so it isn't a hassle as much as u may think and it's a HUGE gain for the trouble.

 

I went from 305awhp vd numbers to 415awhp with only diff being e85 diff intake and test pipe. Great stuff haha I'm a firm believer!

 

Bump, anyone else have suggestions?

 

What are your intended goals and use for the car? This will be the major factor on what direction you go as there is not one clear path that we walk. Drag as a set up. Street has a set up. HPDE has a set up. Autocross has a set up. Once you truthfully answer this, then the rest is easy. But to answer your question, the ETS 3.5" IC is great and my recommendation.

 

get

ARP headstuds
ARP Rodstuds
Fulepump( Dubble pumper )
indjuctors 1000 CC about
272 cams kelford maby
And a Tune.

Next thing is a Mainfold , And turbo like FP Black


MY recomend is to save all the money and get turbo and mainfold to

dont forget to make shure to keep the torque down to maximum 450

 

Yes, obviously he would need a tune and depending on fuel of choice, yes, even 1000cc injectors would suffice. I would contend that headstuds and "rod studs" are not needed at this point and certainly not a double pumper. Depending on his unstated goals, a 400lph, 300lph, 255lph (all with the re-wire kit) would be more than sufficient. Again, we cannot go voting for a turbo until the OP posts his goals and intended use. And as far as keeping the torque below 450wtq, again the turbo of choice will play a large part in that.

 

Bigger injectors and E85 is the way to go.

 

I believe the OP stated that E85 is too far for him to drive.

 

I'm in the same boat. Closest station is 33.5 miles away. I've considered running two seperate maps for e85 and 93 octane. But i'd have to get injectors and a tune. So my other alternative is getting the fp green. Which still requires injectors and tune. lol. I'd say put a green on thurrr.

 

your next mods would completely depend on what you want to do with your car.

 

Driver mod, go have someone teach you how to drive your car instead of modding it to a point where you can't physically use it without killing yourself.
