ok heres what im getting for christmas 02 housing-MAP, Injectors (idk what size to get). AEM Fuel rail, HKS turbo timer, INJEN intercooler piping and tubular mainfold. can i excpect gains?
i have 255 fuel pump, injen intake, kelford cams 272, EXedy twin plate clutch, AMS TBE all that made around 325 on very very conservative tune.

 

What kind of tubular manifold????And are you leaving the boost the same and the timing??

 

i wouldnt waste the money on the turbo timer or the tubular manifold. a ported stock manifold is by far the best bang for the buck manifold. there is no need in getting a new fuel rail especially on stock turbo on pump gas. if you ever plan on going with e85 for fuel then you need to get 1000cc injectors at the very least. there is no need in getting the upper ic piping because there is basically no gain at all with it and from the way the lower pipe fits from injen has been terrible and would suggest going with the ets licp or the nisei licp instead. a used megan o2 housing is very cheap and would save you lots of money over getting a new one

 

the tubular mani im getting for cheap so i think im gunna do that, ok so how can i get power out of the stock turbo? because your telling me to get nothing hahah

 

im telling you to get an ETS or a Nisei licp, used Megan o2 housing, ported stock exhaust manifold. i would suggest to get 880cc injectors if you plan on staying with pump gas, 1200cc or more if you plan on e85. another one i do not see in your signature is a bigger intercooler, i would suggest an ETS 3" or 3.5"

 

im good with using 880 cc on stock turbo? i will look into ETS piping and intercooler

 

im looking into the ETS front mount, should i get power brace tank-8/9 or wide tank -evo 9 (this is on lancershop.com) and is 3" ok?

 

I would say yes you will make more power,Haha.

But did you ask Ivey what he recommended??

 

Ehh you will obtain some more power, but you would be more impressed with different parts.

I would suggest getting an oem ported exhaust manifold and 02 housing. Based on what I have seen on dyno charts, stock turbos and stock frame turbos respond much better to oem ported manifolds than tubular.

The fuel rail and injectors will help, but you do not need to upgrade injectors unless you are upgrading the turbo or running e-85. The stockers are sufficient, but larger ones can only help by allowing a little more room to tune with.

I suggest getting a larger FMIC. 3" will help, but why not just get a 3.5".

 

Ok I will ask Sean. Ok so how does a ets front mount, A ported o2 housing, maybe a tubular manifold due to the low price and commitment

 

dont order from lancershop, just order stuff directly from the guys who are making the parts or from maperformance. you would need the widetank intercooler. even if you think its a deal on the tubular manifold i would still avoid it because like posted above it is very hard to beat the ported stock one for price and for gains. i went with the 3" intercooler because my crash beam is bent a little bit and wouldnt allow for the 3.5"

 

invidia o2, bushur oem coated and ported exhaust mani, fic 1050cc are great all around injectors(i run them on my daily driven evo no problem, 91oct/e85), muse/ets/nisei licp(the muse and ets are practically the same thing. I have used both, and currently running the muse. Its way cheaper too. The nisei is great because it has a bracket which will help you from popping the pipe off under more pressure.)

you dont really need a tt. if you drive the car hard just let it idle for like 20-30 sec before u turn it off. if you dont feel like doing that then get it lol

o and if you get the ets intercooler, get it with a garrett core

 

is there any actual proof the 3.8 is better than the standard 3.5? i see a bunch of people wanting it but seems a bit unnecessary

 

Invidia o2 housing wont work with most downpipes, just do Megan , its less expensive and easier.

 

I've ran a invidia o2 housing with a skunk2, megan racing, mxp, tanabe, invidia and a couple other downpipes without issue and those are some of the more common downpipes people usually run from what I have seen. I also suggest buying the invidia or titek o2 housing

As far as front mounts I would get the nisei, ams, ets(with garret core) or cbrd intercoolers
