Next safe step

[Orion97gs-t]

So my mods are on my profile and I've been thinking about up grading for some more hp, but I am not sure where to go next without screwing my motor up. So next would be the next thing to upgrade cam, internals or something else?

I would probably save up for a turbo, those Ebay ones are not too reliable. But if your set on that then it really all depends on your goals. Right now your able to make some decent power. Next step I would recommend would be a fresh rebuild kit and gasket replacement if it hasn't been done. Cams will help a little especially in the high end but the 16g wont show much improvement. Depending on your current psi and engine health, A fresh rebuild and crank the boost up to mid 20's. I dont remember off the top of my head what the 650's are rated to but they can get up there. So injectors (room for the future?), cams and a rebuild sound about right.

you have a lot of exhaust work done.

i would go with the free mod like cutting part of your bov recir tube or going with an intake pipe

get a 1g tb and port match your manifold inlet to the tb you will get way better throttle response and it makes the car a lot more fun to drive but yea after that stuff i would go with a cam.

I have 650 injectors I put those in before the tune. Also i have a K&N intake with pipe. And for cutting recirculating hose do you mean get rid of it completely? or just shortening it somehow? Last thing in the rebuild kit whats in that? basically gaskets, pistons, pumps and belts?

on the stock air tube the recir pipe blocks 40% of the space in that little intake.

So if I wanted to upgrade this ebay 16g,what would be a good buy this more HP. i was thinking the t3/t4 garret, but are my mods good enough to support that? Or is there a better turbo. I'm looking to eventually hit 350-400 hp

Better yet get a wideband, and upgrade to a better tuning platform like Link, H8 ecu, EVO 8 ecu, etc.Then explore higher boost levels.

How much HP can i expect out of this turbo? with better tunner can i get near 350 hp?

Yeah, what he said.

Your going to need the following:

1. Tuning program (DSMLink is what i would buy)
2. Wideband
3. AFPR
4. 3" downpipe (doesn't look like you have one)
5. Aftermarket metal intake pipe (im not sure if you have one)
6. Fuel Pump rewire kit
7. Tune

Evo3 turbo is good upwards to 380hp range. 20g is a solid 400hp for sure. I plan on getting a MHI 20g.

i have all of the above except a wideband, i have a safc2 not dsmlink though

Or rather for simplicity sake what would I need to add on to my current mods to reach a rough 350 hp?

Iv been reading a bit more and iv heared a lot of different things on getting cams for my goal. Some say i wont need them until im in the high 300's. I am pushing 280 hp right now, im looking to see what i need to give me those extra 20 -30 hp for a 300 goal. Any other suggestions?
