What do you think I should add next?

[dboyle23]

I have the following mods currently:
14b w/7cm housing
ported 2g o2
evo 3 exhaust manifold
3" DP and catback
Intake pipe
1g bov w/recirc
ECUFlash for tuning
680cc injectors
Wally 255
Act 2100 with street disc
Short Shifter
Uego and boost gauge

I am looking for what would be the next step to getting a good amount of return on investment. I am not going to upgrade to a 16g because it really won't give me too much of a power increase. Is it worth getting a tubular exhaust manifold? What about a 1g throttle body if I don't port the intake manifold?

Any suggestions?

If you are dead set on your 14b perhaps using the 6cm^2 turbine would allow you to spool sooner. I find it odd to use a 7cm^2 on a 14b. Just something you might want to look into further. If you are interested in a turbo other than the 16g would like a larger power bump you could look into a bastard 20g or a FP 68HTA. Added benefit of being mitsu flanges.

If you go 16G try going to an Evo16g and a decent sized front mount.....with the other mods you have you should be able to get close to 350wheel like my buddy did in his 2g......That said he also had an evo water spray tank and spray nozzles which helped him edge in a little more power.....his car was real strong for such basic mods.... and responce was excellent,he truly could've tracked the car with no problems at all.....

Well, I am using the 7cm housing because my s16g blew thanks to a kink in the oil feed line. Then I bought a 14b from someone on here, and they didn't even give me the damn housing. So I just thought I might as well use it instead of buying a new 6cm housing.

I might go get a 6cm housing though, because right now I am starting to spool at 3200 and get full boost by 3900. Do you think the 6cm housing would really cut down spool times by a useful amount? I will start taking the car to the track soon and was hoping the bigger exhaust housing would allow better top end power. What do you think?

I think a bigger turbo may be in the works when I get my tax return next year.

I think best bang for your buck would have to be cams. Can't beat the benefits for the cost.

 

[iBoostDSM]

I would say cams could be a good investment or also a SMIM. But if you did get cams look for a smaller combo, 264/272 or just straight up 264. The 14b won't need all the high end power that the 272's make because boost will already be tapering off by time the 272's really get to work.

I didn't see a FMIC which, for me, is the next step to take for your setup. Also maybe use of AFPR with that walbro

This.

The stock side mount is probably heat soaking pretty bad with that little hair dryer of a turbo. A nice front mount and some larger injectors for a future turbo upgrade. Maybe also a fuel pump rewire and afpr.

I'd do a FMIC next, then buy the $539 20G from FP (and stick it's same TD05H wheel in your current turbine housing) and then maybe a set of 272s.

 

[FLASH1970]

AFPR and a Supra sidemount... keep it stock looking.

 

[400hp93talon]

You don't need a afpr just keep using the stock one. FMIC kit,Cams(not aggressive) and a street SMIM and that will help out a bit!

 

[dboyle23]

I do have an aeromotive afpr installed, sorry I forgot to mention it.

I also have some HKS 264's bnib sitting around waiting for an install.

So, a FMIC should be my next upgrade then. I was looking at the vrspeed one.

 

[BigRSnail95]

Cant go wrong with the vrsf for the price in my opinion.

I think your next purchase NEEDS to be a AFPR/install kit, the stock fpr can easily be overrun by a Walbro 255 fuel pump. Then, after you replace the stock fuel pressure regulator, get a FMIC kit to lower your IAT's.

he's got one! Do the front mount. I would figure out why your turbo is spooling so late too. That doesn't sound right for a 14b.

 

[dboyle23]

I will have to check the J-Pipe connection, I think their might be a small boost leak there.

Thanks guys, FMIC it is!
