Bolt On's - I Have An 3inch Turbo Back Exhaust And Greddy Type S Bov Already *the Only Thing Po Did Right*, Holset Hx35 Bep Mitsu Housing, Erl Turbo Manifold , Pr O2 Housing And Fmic , Pnp Stock Intake Manifold To Go With Bigger Throttle Body.

Your going to need the pump rewired. I would go with at least 1250cc injectors, in-case you want to up your power later on down the road. Def get arp rod bolts. I know people who run stock felpo hg, but i wouldn't recommend it. DO it rite get a MLS hg. You will have to get head machined tho to run one. Also get a FPR. Get the HKS 272 cams, i have them there awesome. I have je srp pistons 9.5:1 I make boost super quick with them. Also since you have dsmlink v3 run speed density.

Why are you using an HX35 for a 350-400 WHP application?

 

[SpawnedX]

Because his build rough draft reads like a list of the current popular mods.

 

[daplatano91]

I would say go with the Kelford 272s I have had both the HKS 272s and the BC 272s and there is no comparison.

 

[Mr Peepers]

Some suggestions:

-1000's will be more than enough on pump
-Be sure to rewire the pump as others have said
-Stock autos are strong with just the "blue wire" mod for full line pressure and a good cooler. A shift kit is somewhat redundant
-Personal experience, a stock or Felpro composite gasket with ARPs will get you very far as long as you are smart with the tune.
-Stock internals can surely hit your goal but a rod upgrade wouldn't be a bad idea. Pistons will take the power no problem.
-A 1g throttle body is all the TB you will need, 2g would work too
-Stock exhaust manifold is just fine; not that an ERL or FP race won't help.
-Kelfords aren't really necessary for those goals especially if you are still on the stock 2g intake mani. 272's would be a better match IMO

 

[SpawnedX]

I agree with Peepers on the Kelfords, aside from the fact that this number has been made on BCs & FP cams, Delta & FFWD regrinds, going with Kelfords increases the amount of money you will have to spend since springs and retainers become a must at that point.

 

[SpawnedX]

If his goals are to grow, a Holset is a good choice.

 

[oldmanfrost]

Sorry dont want that.

 

[SRK420a]

Like the said above you have a high list for a 300hp application but you can do it with the parts listed. And just a quick question did you dyno the car before you started to tear it down?? Reason for asking a friend of mines dynoed his 1g before doing the same and it gave him a better understanding on what he needed to reach the 300hp mark.

 

[oldmanfrost]

Yea I dynoed it... Numbers in my profile

 

[rlacasse1]

If you're going for that low of a number then just use a stock 7 bolt block. It will hold that power just fine and will be much cheaper.

 

[oldmanfrost]

This just my start up goal..., I always figured 350 - 400 whp was decent.... Maybe since my first car was an Rs I'm still in 420a thinking a bit.. Build engine before adding power

 

[rlacasse1]

The stock blocks are fine. Many have taken them over 500hp.

I have the Kelfords, and while they make more power, there is a significant trade-off for a street car.

He could run HKS or BC 272s on mild springs with stock cam gears and have a relatively streetable setup.

Kelfords require much more aggressive springs, and adjustable cam gears if you want ANY street-ability. Before i changed the way they were degreed my car was an absolute pig below 4K rpm.

The Kelfords are overkill, no way i'd run them for a 450bhp goal.

I actually daily drive my car with them in NY traffic every day. Stock springs and cam gears car runs perfectly fine.

I do agree with the overkill though I got them because I knew i was doing a complete build this winter

You must keep the revs damn low because those cams will float valves with stock spring tension.

I bent a few of them.
