Im starting to really get into heavily modifying my car with the hopes of 400 AWHP on pump gas. Im getting an MHI 16g and am going to have it converted to a td05 20g which from what im reading can flow about 44 lb/m of air which should be sufficient for about 400 wheel hp. im gonna start off with the parts i currently have and end with what i still need to get if anything seems off or not needed please tell me

Heres what i have now

-TD05 20g
-stock 7 bolt bottom end

- -6an High flow fuel filter
-Innovate wideband
-BC 272 cams
-Skunk2 Cam Gears (or maybe fidanza)

anything else that i need to get 400 awhp is my real goal i hope this isnt classified as bench racing i just want to make sure all the parts im looking at can support 400 whp i have most of the parts already just putting the finishing touches on it now
 
ya i might go that route with the intercooler soon im just using it because it came with the car but it really drops IAT alot pretty close to ambient but your right obviously newer technology is better. ill probably pick up the 255 soon also. oh and the closest e85 spot is 20 minutes away and theres only one spot so idk if i wanna go that route. i know you make alot more power but its not really that available yet.
 
idk why you would settle for 850s unless you found an amazing deal. you can get pretty much any low impedance injector (from 650 up to 1150) for around 200 in used reliable condition.

I think upgraded fuel lines is an exercise in futility at your desired power levels. Money may be better spent on a really good tune. 400 awhp in a 20g especially in tdo5 form is nothing to take lightly. you may be looking at meth or e85 in your near future.
 
meth injection isnt totally out of the picture, i figured 850's would be ideal but i could always go bigger its more of what pops up in the classifides. i kinda figured stock lines would be fine saves me money i can put elsewhere i suppose and as far as power expectations id be happy anywhere from 375-400 wheel
 
Im running a 20g.

I originally thought 400 was possible. Ill be happy if I can reach a solid 350 awhp, maxed out on a reliable tune, with meth.

If you are expecting ANY more than that, I suggest rethinking your turbo strategy. And dont spend any money till the FP black comes out for DSM. :hellyeah:

I have found the 20g to be very fun and enjoyable, especially coming fresh off of a 18 psi 14b LOL.
 
I have that turbo now. Check my profile for mods. All in all its a sick street turbo, but its probably going to take e85 or meth to get it to 400whp. Spools comes on quick and pulls to hard close to redline. I'm thinking of getting meth myself since 400whp is my goal and I want to keep the spool time down since its my street/dd. If you can deal with some lag go bigger to get a for sure 400 without meth or e85, that's my thoughts on it.
