400 hp turbo set up

[Spyke169]

I'm looking to get about 400 hp and 12's out of my 97 GSX. I'm 17 so i'm on a tight budget. I currently have a Injen intake, Apex'i dp and exhaust, HKS SSQV, Manaul BC, boost and a/f guage, and ACT stage 2 street clutch. I was thinking of going with either a EVOIII 16g or a 20g. for additional supporting mods I would have:

EVOIII 16g:
190lph fuel pump
550cc injectors
GReddy FMIC

or

20g:
255lph
660cc
B&M fuel pressure regulator
GReddy fmic
SAFC II

I know that the 20g would oviously give me more power, but would if be worth it for the money? or is there anything that I should change in my supporting mods? Any help that anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

The EVOIII 16g is a GREAT turbo, and should bring you mid/low 12's on race gas.

Keep in mind that you will need fuel control with those 550's; SAFC, MAFT, or DSMLink.

400hp? don't waste your time with a 16G.

since I would need to get a fuel controller for either set up, would the 20g be a better turbo for the 12s and 400hp goal? or would I be able to obtain that on the EVO 16g? talked to road race about the fuel set up of 550s and a 190lph for the 16g. But would the supporting mods I have listed for the 20g be the correct choice? or would anybody change anything? Thanx for your halp guys

If you want what you say you want then skip the medium sized turbos go straight into a 50 trim or equivalent. That will be much easier to achieve your goals. Its been done thousands of times and just search around.

are ARP headsuds a must for the set up I want?

I was just looking at the 50 trim PTE. That's what I think I will do. Thanks for your help everyone

A built 6bolt is what you should have also if you want to daily drive with 400hp. Better safe than sorry.

p.s. I hope you take care of that car and realize how lucky you are to have a gsx at 17.

Stay away from the B&M fuel pressure riser. It is not an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. It only allows you to raise base fuel pressure. Go Buschur or Charged Air.
