Thanks !!!

 

yea this thread will tell you everything that you need to know. You should invest your money on a tune from mellon

 

1. I would suggest to be absolutely sure about what your plans are and how much money you will have to mod it right now or down the road?

2. You do not want to buy a bunch of parts and then change your mind and go bigger later. You will end up buying all new stuff again (turbo kit) and then having to sell the old stuff for less than you paid for it with hassle.

3. Keep in mind things can happen like accidents or mechanical failures that can change your mind on what to do next. (My clutch went out, 2nd gear syncro going out and Mitsubishi not want to pay for it, Hit a raccoon ($3500 in damage) ect. ect.)

I bought a used GT35R and FIC 1450cc injectors locally because it was a good deal (no regrets yet until installed). However, I did not realize how much it was going to cost to upgrade to my GT35R setup. I am still researching and buying parts.

Option 1: I would start with what you might need first depending on the mileage of your car. If it has close to 70K I would look into a timing belt cam, cam springs and retainers upgrade. This will keep your car going and unleash some power. Tune.

Option 2: If this has been done and nothing else has wear on the car, but want more power; I would start with upgrading fuel system to go E85 if it is available in your area. Tune.


This is a start of your research and upgrading: Good Luck!
