1500 dollars to get some more power if any at all.

Are you saying $1500 won't buy you any power like on your old FF car? Sell the 240 and buy a Scion :newbie:

jd man.. ill talk to you in the morning..

muahhahahahahah i just got one but kept the 240.

on topic buy a new intercooler (i believe there is a group buy on ARC intercooler right now) radiator, cams, sumthing along those lines

[mrmephistopheles]

here's a free upgrade: pull the vacuum line off the wastegate actuator!
Instant boost-up!











disclaimer: if you're bright enough to do that, you deserve the consequences.

LoL I guess ill help this dude out. I would upgrade to front mount intercooler first, then get a nice radiator like a koyo 3 row or something. After that boost controller, z32 maf, 550 injectors, new ecu tuned for 550s and z32 maf and also an air fuel controller. THose will help you max out your turbo. Then i guess i would get coilovers if you dont have them and then upgrade my brakes cause u want to be able to stop with that much power. Also get a blow off valve so your turbo lasts longer. (not just for the ricey sound)

Really?

Say it with me then... S-U-S-P-E-N-S-I-O-N....

Failing that, its all about the

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWS

Choose one, and choose wisely :D.

with 1500 bucks and an sr20 and solely looking for horsepower, I would buy:
front mount intercooler- >$250
s15 turbo- $300
JGY fuel rail and delphi high impedance 50's- $325
Apexi SAFC $225
Z32, RB20DET, whatever... a bigger mafs. Z32 would be around $100, others more/less.
And on top of that you have change to get some piping and a boost controller. Ideally I'd rather get a T3 manifold to strap a t3/t4 to, but you'd need another 500 for that cause it means a new downpipe and inlet piping and all.
anyway with that setup you could max out the T28 off the s15, whatever that would be, I'd guess over 250 at the wheels. With that setup on a T3 you could make 300 at the wheels, but I'd start using some good gas.

Where are you finding a fmic for $250 and a s15 turbo for $300?

[Wei240]

you can get fmic for cheap from old used turbo cars, i'm guessing starion, certain volvos, isuzu npr? trucks...
