With this set up can I run 400hp reliably on a fwd?

Hello I have a 1995 talon tsi fwd and I was wondering with these mods that I am getting can I safely put down 400whp as a dailydriver. I'm getting a jdm 6bolt swap, ngk plug and wire set , forged pistons and ring kit with a 8:5:1 ratio, I'm staying with the stock 6 bolt rods and bearings, EVO3 16G turbo ported, ported 02 housing, block bored 20 over, greddy fmic, greddy upper ic kit, hks 272/264 combo cams, act 2600clutch, act lightened flywheel, and for tires I chose falkens, also I am upgrading fuel to 4 650cc injectors, a walbro 255hp pump and safc2. I currently have a custom 3inch turbo back exhaust with no cat and I am using the greddy e-01 boost controller. I would like input and if I am missing anything. My goal is 400whp and a street/ track car for a daily driver.

I have heard good things about hitunedperformance and speed & sound if you don't mind a little driving. Also, you might try talking to people on gatewaydsm.org, you might be able to get someone to help you there that would be cheaper then a shop. 8k just seems like a lot of money to be dropping.

Where are these shops located? Do you have telephone numbers to them as well?
 
hey bro, I dont mean to tell you what to do or anything like that and I apoligize if this sounds like an insult. I understand that your 350 or 400hp as you posted is a work in progres and that its hard to stop, but IMO I noticed that you were stressing a bit with the coments and advices some people were saying, you have to understand that they are just trying to lead you in the right direction, you dont have to listen to any of them but you shouldnt be stressing eather or get mad its just their opinions. here is my own opinion and advice, if you'not sure of something or dont know something ask before you do it, if you alredy did it I guess it does not matter much does it? its like if you eat rat poison and ask after you drank it "am I going to die?" well pretty much! but then again you dont have to listen to me. And Im asuming you previously owned a honda or nissan silvia with sr20det swap right? since you are a big fun of jdm stuff and all well, youre going to have a hard time finding jdm stuff for dsm. well bro I really hope you hit your 400hp mark honestly!! best luck for you and your dsm and your 8 g's.:thumb:

I also saw a 2nd gen with jdm parts in a HCI magazine recently that really caught my attention

'jdm' parts? such as what? i haven't heard of too much of a difference between the udsm and jdm eclipses.
 
if your going to rebuilt your block don't pay that much I payed $150 for my block bare
and had all of the machine work done for about $400 and I supplied the pistons crank and rods but I could of also bought the stock crank off of this guy for $125 and had it recut for nothing. So if you are looking for a deal I am pretty sure he will ship and he might still have some JDM's laying around he just stop getting them imported about 9 months ago said there isn't any money in it any more Email me if you want any info on this engine shop.

There arn't any differences. Except is the cyclone intake JDM? And, it's not an upgrade, IMHO.

yeah i didn't think there where any real JDM parts for our cars. only the ebay stuff like shift knobs, taillights, and body kits.
