Right now these are my mods... (Maitenance is done)

Intake Pipe
NGR Type S BOV
Thermal R&D Cat-Back
Megan Racing Downpipe
K&N FIPK
Wideband and Boost guages

And yes i have read the 2G upgrade path so please dont post that.

My plan was to get a VRSF FMIC next, but was also considering porting my o2 housing and getting an exhaust mani just so my exhasut would be completely finished now and i wouldnt have to do anything else.

My goal is 325+ AWHP and it is my DD

All opinions are appreciated. Thanks :)
 
Most will tell you the stock manifold will be fine. Porting the o2 is never a bad idea. Fmic Is a good way to go. What turbo are you planning on using. For your goal you won't need anything more than an E316g.
 
Yup, i was gonna go e3b16g but I'm having a hard time with installation on a lot of stuff too... Such as my Wideband, cause I've never souldered wires before, and i dont know what wires to tap into for the proper electricity...
 
I would look at wideband install, and read the manual, everything is a learning process. You gotta get in there and research, and try things it will come along.
 
All my friends are 16 and dont know anything about cars. I'm by far the most knowledgeable when it comes to cars. But I'm sure I could get my auto teacher or someone to help me.

Are you talking about electricity to actually power the gauge, or to get the o2 signal? If it's for power, just tap into something that turns on in the ACC or ON key positions - cigar lighter is a common/easy one.. If it's the o2 signal you need a wideband o2 sensor to supply the information. Sorry if I'm repeating what you already know, just wasn't sure which you were talking about. Don't let soldering intimidate you, just practice on some extra/scrap wire until you get comfortable with it :thumb:

As far as your mods, you're on the right track - FMIC can't hurt, and +1 for fuel and tune goodies!
 
i say skip the fmic and get yourself water/meth injection kit, b16g and that foeshow is 325 hp..

but then looks like you will need the clutch to handle that power also.
 
theres a lot of things that need to happen at this point. To pull more power, you need to be able to control it with a tuning system, and more fuel is needed. Fuel pump, injectors, AFPR are all you need to hit 400whp or so. for tuning, Id recomend DSMlinkv3. V3lite is cheaper, but v3 full has many more features. FMIC will also help control knock, so thats a good setup to buy. Ebay intercoolers are pretty good to a point. I have an ebay core that held 32psi, and should make it to 600whp.
 
Here you go, shop by your price range.
1.FMIC - VR Speed Factory - Discount Import Performance Parts
2.Turbo, fuel pump, injectors - EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts
3.Tuner - ECMTuning, Inc.

All you really need for 300hp+ and then some. A 16 will get you there i would recommend a good size set of injectors, link with a good tune i dont have any problems idleing with 1000cc injectors, and get a 255 fuel pump. Do it once the first time, do it right the first time. Good luck you should be happy on this setup.:thumb:
