Hey guys I have a few questions and need your imput... Ive searched but I see a lot of people going diff routes. My car is completely stock besides HFC, muffler delete, and hks filter... Also I purchased a Walboro and a turbo xs mbc. I know I need a downpipe, fmic and piping. the stock exhaust is 2.5 and the downpipes are 3 would that be a problem? Also I was going to purchase GSC s1 cams and injectors just dont know what cc.

Keep in mind that this is my DD and will see roughly 3-4 track events a year. Would I be able to reach my goals with this setup? My car has 30k on it so i want to stay on a stock turbo setup for now

 

A tune will do you wonders.

 

Should be right there ( around 350 ) with a good/safe tune. I would get a wide band, and a boost gage so you can monitor boost and air fuel.

 

As per my knowledge...

U will need...
GSC 1 cams
FMIC 3.5"(any good brand)
TBE 3" (any brand)
LICP (great Mod)
Walbro
Injectors(780)

And Yea a GOOD TUNE.....(without which everything is worthleSSSSS!!!

 

3" TBE, o2 housig, keep the stock front mount unless you plan on going to the 450-500, get a good intake, cams are a good choice s1, walbro ok but not needed, stock injectors i ran up to 400WHP, do a LICP and an upper, watch the throttle body seals on the IX they blow easy get mill spec's if needed.

 

pretty much everything they said thats a easy goal to get to.

 

Thanks guys so my exhaust is useless since it's stock just more air flowing... I'm waiting for my defi boost guage to come in. which wideband guage would you recommened? So the stock fmic is good just get pipeing? I just got the fuel pump cause I got a killer deal on it so I bought it. As far as injectors go with 780's and s1 cams?

 

And as far as tuning ill be going to Cbrd for that

 

you wont be making 400whp on our dyno on stock turbo without meth, E85, etc..

on straight pump, a typical bolt on IX with cams and all of the trimmings is around 340whp...

cheers

You need to upgrade that exhaust system first seriously lol. can get plenty of used 3" exhaust on these forums for like 400 and up. wideband i would go with either AEM uego or innovative(i have both) stock fmic is ok but i would upgrade it just to get it over with. injectors i would not go below 1000cc personally and the cams are ok

 

Alright thanks got to put the debit card to use this week

 

i believe with those cams you need springs and retainers! i would recommend the keford 272s where you do not have to do that!!!

 

If you're going to run pump then I wouldn't be surprised to see a turbo in your future. Since you're working with CBRD, a BBK full would certainly be the ticket.

I agree with doing a round with bolt-ons and a tune first. Once you start needing a clutch then the costs do snowball.

 

BBK oh noes!
