Stuck at 350 whp

[trickirickey]

Hey i was wondering what would be the next step in tuning up my ride i have a 99 gst 350whp

hks cams
650 cc injectors
exhaust intake ex. ex.
but don't have any intoners
fuel pump
agp L2R turbo 50 trim
wires spark pg
fuel rail supra tt
and basic mods

which should i go for
as in pistons crank shaft in such
and what kinds?

Well one thing you can leave alone is the crankshaft, it is good for WAY over 350hp. You'll need some sort of tuning device(logger & S-afc or DSMLink, etc.), and also gauges (EGT,Boost,etc.). There are many threads about this where you will find more answers by searching, also check the Tech Guide as it's got tons of info.

motor and more boost, eagle rods and wisco pistons. port and polish everything, valve job.

What the hell are intoners?

 

[larsenracing]

i was wondering the same thing but i just figured it was like a glaspak or resonator or something.

 

[CanadianTSi]

Your motor is fine for now.

How much boost? and do you have a FMIC??

 

[Snobordin8]

What the hell are intoners?

Haha I was confused too, but I figured he meant "internals".

Sorry about my spelling im at school so i need to type fast. and i ran it on race gas at 22 psi and normal at 18psi at 93

 

[trickirickey]

aslo have dsm link but i need to buy a lap top soon...

 

[CanadianTSi]

You should be able to run a good 22psi on pump gas and 25+ on race gas.

You should be able to run a good 22psi on pump gas

With 48+ knock and timing being pulled.

With 48+ knock and timing being pulled.

Well then somebody needs to do some tuning and/or review there combination of parts.

 

[project_tsi]

With 48+ knock and timing being pulled.

That is blatantly untrue. I run 25 psi on 93 octane daily w/ no knock and w/out timing being pulled. It's all in the tune.

 

[gr8popp]

can you tell me how to use DSMLINK without a laptop?? Ebay is your friend

Uh...or not. If your current tuner can't tune you to 22psi on a 50 trim and 93 octane then you need to go somewhere else.

Trickirickey: What kind of tuning do you have done at the moment? I'm guessing you have a fmic because of your current power levle, but if you don't that is deffinately a must. Seeing that you are on a stock motor I highly recomend throwing in some arp headstuds. If you do them one at a time in the correct order then you won't even have to take off your head or worry about expanding your headgasket and having to deal with that whole mess. With some arps holding the head down, you should be good to turn the boost up c few more pounds on pump and make some more power. For what its worth I just made 402 to the wheels on 91 octane on my 50 trim.

can you teach me how to use DSMLINK without a laptop please??

 

[98eclipseRS]

can you teach me how to use DSMLINK without a laptop please??

Dude what is your deal with the multi post of this??? If you are being serious then you can't use dsmlink without a laptop. If you are trying to be an ass get the hell out of this thread because shit like this isn't needed when someone just needs help.

I did not see an upgraded side mount or front mount IC. That should show some gain in power. Get that DSM link on there and have fun. Limited slip woould help also if available for n/t tranny?

 

[jaredgsx]

which hks cams?
also, what are you using to controll those injectors?
What size exhaust do you have?
what kind of fuel pump?
how much boost?
FMIC?
stock mas?
stock intercooler pipes?
you can also tune your cams to get the most out of them with adjustable cam gears
