first modifications

[gst96spyderman]

Alright. I'm going to catch hell, but why not. How do I make my bov loud?

haha. Joking.

I own a 100% stock 96 gst spyder. I've just ordered an EVOIII big 16g from extremepsi.com. (since I ***ed the stock t-25) Everyone is saying that this is a bad first mod. I'm going to keep the boost stock. I'm 99% sure there will be no issues with that as long as it stays stock.

So, for anyone that has the time and patience... What are the modifications I need to do to reach my 300-350 hp goal without having to spend too too much cash? Not trying to cut corners. And this is going to be at least a year long project, being that I'm not rich. This car WILL be an everyday driver, so I want it to be as reliable as possible while not sacrificing power. I've done all the maintnance i.e. fluid change, timing belt ect... Minus an engine rebuild/swap. Not sure which route I'll be going there, since I'm not a member of the Redskins making 42 mill guarnteed. (Go Cowboys)

I'm just trying to get a list started from everyone here so that I can set a price, since I'm not sure of all the parts needed to start this project. I'm not wanting to get what I don't need. Only what is needed. Also, I'm kind of looking for an order to follow as well (1st. boost gauges, 2nd safc 3rd...ect...) Because I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to vehicles, so I must be spoken to as if I were a 9 year old.

I'm looking for the specifics. how large of injectors? Should I upgrade my clutch? Is an upgraded oil cooler needed for me if I only plan on stop light racing every now and then?

I'm looking to kick about 95-99% of all these stock Mustangs, Camaro's asses as well as 100% of every honda/acura's asses as well. But Nothing too damn extreme. I definately want reliability over performance. I would like to keep this car as long as possible.

You guys are amazing for even looking at this post since there are a lot more out there. All help is good help. Thanks

At the top of the website page you will notice a bar that says Tech, Parts regonal,forums, ect. Click on Tech, then in the drop down bar click on upgrade paths, Find generation type (1g) or(2g) then select basic HP upgrades. Click on either ( Stage 1: 275-300hp) or (Stage 2: 350-400hp) in there you will find all the parts needed for your Hp goals. It even has lots of vendors to view so you can price shop also. when you get your parts if you have trouble post on here someone will always help. Good Luck

Tech Guide: 2G 4G63t Upgrades: Stage 1 Power - DSMtuners

Boost gauge.
Boost Controller.
190lph fuel pump.
You could get away with 550 injectors but it'd be a little dangerous, so get some 650s.
safc (kinda bad but doable with 650s) eprom chip (easy no hassle way, keydiver.com ) or dsmlink if you've got big money for tuning, if you don't get dsmlink then you'll need a datalogger to make sure everything's ok.
Ebay FMIC will do, no need to spend big here.
Turbo back exhaust will be an awesome upgrade. (2.5in will work but 3in is preferred)
And one of the most important things to do is get some prothane motor mounts.
