280 HP needs to get to 300 HP...

[94tegT3 turbo]

I have 280 HP on the engine. I want to get it to 300 hp somehow but not expensive mods yet. I was thinkin pulleys, what do u think?

 

[Baldy201]

What all do you have done?

 

[94tegT3 turbo]

I have headers, cat back exhaust, intake, turbo, and chip.

uhm. what engine do you have? gsr? you're making something like 130 more whp with just those mods? what about fuel management? intercooler? piping? headwork?

Duh, of course you got a HEADER, you got a turbo. I'd like to see a turbo ran through a factory header. Just a little sarcasm.

Pulleys would be good, but I'm not too sure if that'll get you to 300HP. There's a little rumor out there sayin that pulleys throw your timing off. A fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator would be good. Especially since your pushing so much HP. You could always up the boost! But I'd get internals done first.

Fuel rail was on my mind. Thanks for the advice Downshift96gsr.

 

[DownShift96GSR]

No problemo! That's what I'm here for.

Intake Manifold may get you to where you need to be. If you have the stock IM LS or GSR then it doesnt flow good as it should. Get a Venom or a JG Edelbrock IM and you will see some gains.

if u get the fuel rail and regulator.. i would look into a new fuel pump runningur stock with higher pressure may huer it sooner or later, also might not pump as much fuel as u want...

Aftermarket fuel rail is not gonna do anything for power. Stock Honda fuel rails can flow well over 300 whp. IMO, it's just a waste of $$.

ummmmmm i was thinking like new fuel injectors personally

Yes

Acutally, stock fuel rails can support up to around 600whp

20hp can be gained by adding a good manifold with port matched throttle body. something like a Skunk2 or more would work well. i would get a JG Edlebrock IM if i were you, and a TB that is port matched to the manifold (i have no idea on what size the inlet is)

that should easily get you the power you want

 

[Chuckie Finster]

Wow, 600?! I've seen 400 hp applications, so I can be sure 'bout that. But I guess I can't doubt the stocker will flow 600, either. Have yet to test their limits.

What size of injectors do you have? MIght be maxed out, so those could be your next bottleneck.

 

[94tegT3 turbo]

Aright so the JG Edelbrock IM is it. Thanks everyone for ur opinion.

I wanna see pics of this setup...
