My plans...Needs help

[RedRex02]

Ok so here is the deal. Here is my mods list as of now.
Intake, HKS SSQV, upper ic pipe, HRC downpipe(3"), highflow cat, Thermal Catback(3"),SBR O2 housing, Walbro 190, new plugs and wires, mbc at 16psi, FP Big T28 ported and clipped...I think thats it.

What else would you guys reccomend? The car has followed MOST of the tech guide for mods besides FPR, injectors and a Mani.
I was looking to possibly sell my T28 in place for a EVOIII 16g.

What other mods would you guys reccomend to give it all she has. Not going crazy for a few years after this so, I need to max this beast out with what I have and a few more things so... Give it to me
What needs to be on my mod list as of now.

Oh and I also have a shortthrow and an ACT 2100 w/street disc & XACT street lite flywheel.

I'd go with a FMIC and some injectors, and something to tune with.

to me it looks like you've been neglecting fuel and tuning a bit. Give us a dollar figure as to what you have to spend right now, and I think we can figure out the most effective use of it.

Some ideas i have right now would be 550 injectors, some sort of tuning device, a data logger, clutch and possibly the evo3 16g.

Here are some free/cheap things you should do to make sure your car is preforming at its best.
Boost leak check, compression test, borrow a wideband o2 from a friend, or at least use a datalogger so that you can read your stock o2 voltage, You should really try and figure out if your stock fuel pressure regulator is being over run or not. (not sure of an easy way to do this unfortunately. Replace your stock fuel filter with a new one...

was already typing when you posted teh clutch and flywheel comment.

But we really need a $$ figure to work with.

Well I could always save some cash up. I am not looking to spend ALOT of money. Have one more year till I graduate with a degree and start a real job, last year of college(working as a porter making 9.00 is not going to make me real fast, ). So I guess whatever I need to do, I can save up for.
Like I said I know I need some kind of tune, along with some injectors and FPR. Some kind of IC would be helpfull as well. I guess I am asking what I should do first? Looks like I need fuel work. I guess it is because I was keeping up with the Stage 1 upgrade path which calls for no fuel work besides a fuel pump, which is done.

About the 16G, I do have a decent turbo upgrade for a street car. Is it that big of a deal to switch to a 16G from a Big T28?

an evo3 16G would be a noticeable difference over the T28. Whether its worth the price is a different story.

I'd suggest going with DSMlink if you can fit it in your budget at all. If not, an SAFC or MAF translator are your next two best options.

I think injectors are needed, you need to figure out what you're going to get to tune them before you buy them however.

Next step would be an intercooler, front mount or side.

Those three things would allow you to bump the boost up, and keep it tuned.

 

[RedRex02]

I was thinking Safc, 550 injectorsand a tune for the time being. I was still going to keep the boost at 16 psi, possibly 17 with a tune and injectors. The frontmount will be last.

 

[RedRex02]

With the Safc, injectors and tune...will this increase or decrease fuel economy? I am at about 22-23 mpg right now so...?

Bump for more replies and help

 

[calcifer]

I wouldn't bother with a bigger turbo yet, you haven't gotten much out of your current one if you are still on stock injectors. With bigger injectors and a tuning device you should be able to get a fair amount more power from that turbo.

 

[RedRex02]

I was going to make a new post but I figured they would get upset considering I can cover it here.
What do you guys think abouyt scrapping the Safc for now and going with-
Injectors
Supra Sidemount
1995 Eprom
DSM chips chip

What do you think? I was going to do the Safc last.
