im currently running the following mods

ams short ram intake
t1r ic pipes
gm ebcs
turbo xs catless tbe
dw 850cc injectors

and i just ordered the kelford 214-b cams with the springs

my question is would i see more hp with the ets 3.5" intercooler or leave it stock because it wont matter for the hp im gonna make until i get abigger turbo

 

Wal 255 fuel pump and E85 >>>>> Cams or IC
i believe the stock IC is good up to 500hp, but you can get ~10 out of a better flowing one

 

You will probably get a few more hp from running an IC. Probably about 10, maybe 15hp if you are lucky.

The stock IC is fairly good for the stock turbo.

 

I'm pushing 382 HP with the mods in my sig

 

That's to the wheels

 

thats f'n sweet

 

How much did all those mods cost you? Im a newbie with a 2011 GSR.
Thanks.

 

like 3.5g? but keep in mind its not all at once

 

You want the IC, not just for power but to avoid heat soak. When the air is hotter outside the stock IC is not as efficient and you'll lose HP faster than with a better and bigger IC, even with a stock turbo.

Do injectors and fuel pump too, as noted.

 

a newfuel pump isnt really all that necessary apparently on evo x's as the stock is already pretty efficient unless you plan on upgrading to a bigger turbo and puttng down serious power

 

it is for E85

 

gonna need to see a dyno chart to believe that. That's 480hp at the crank. From intake, TBE and piping? On pump gas? No you aren't. Not a chance.

 

I would say intercooler. Not only will you get a little more power out of the car but you should also notice your boost staying a bit more consistent. At least I noticed that it held boost better in my IX MR with a TBE,ETS I/C with all the piping, and a HKS intake. BTW I am making 340WHP/366WTQ@25 PSI on a Dyna Pack Dyno which I think is about 320-325 WHP/335-340WTQ on other dynos. I am making this power with a ARC FMIC,HKS I/C piping,AEM intake,Invidia Catted DP,Invidia N1.

 

talk with your tuner , he will give you a best options and ideas based on your goal.

 

Best advice so far!
