Fellas! Ah "not" looking to run this car seeing as is the closeset thing ah ever come to ah new car so far meaing meh personal ride? But i would love to put some pep in her step if u know what i mean. I dont necesarilly want to dig up too much but are there any minor bolt on upgrades that i can get. Cost and places where they can be found would be appreciated too. Thanx! Iz ah 1600 by the way, auto.

at least 10,000 to do either, as it is an auto, i would leave it the way it is...

nah no need for msd igition the amlera ignition is very efficeit
but he wil need 10,000
but if he wan a small boost say 7psi he will need like 5,000

that would probably involve your basic homemade turbo kit :mrgreen:

consisting of bamboo turbo 500/1000, custom manifold 800/1200,rising rate pressure regulator 800/1000,intercooler and misc piping 1000/1500 other minor tids and bits BOV,etc should run you about 5/6 gees.the rightous person to speak to is dave he goh hook uh up

^ thats great till eh start to detonate from bad engine management.... the timing/compression on these new engines and how they respond to boost is not as simple as a risig rate FPR... i think more precise Em is needed. if you dont want it to go BOOM or start breaking ring lands etc.. you need somehting that will pull some timing out and get the fuel and ignition maps tunned for boost..

manifold - QR engine right - check Ebay - ~$2000
turbo - S15 T28 - $2200
440cc Injectors - $1000
Secret Services ECU - $2500
Walbro 255lph Fuel pump - $900
IC piping & BOV - $2400
Ebay Intercooler - $2400
I dunno what AFM you'll run, probably an SR20 - good for about 250hp

you'll probably need allot of custom work done, so brace for it.

JWT sucks - contact Scott at SecretServices in Tampa FL, his ROM tunned ECU's have been KILLING JWT ECU's on the dyno...
