13B DEI need help with performance
Hi, i bought a FC3S not to long ago and i have a boNez racing intake, bonez 2.5" superflo system, and greddy power extreme cat-back. and i would like to know what else i can do to peak my cars HP, and what brands are recomended since i cannot buy a T2 system.
ive heard people say in other forums that they peaked there car at 200hp at a stock 145hp 13b DEI inject motor, and i am un impressed with there results but thats all i have going, i also do not want to sale my car nor try the difficult task of the 13b DEW T2 swap, becuase of extra purchases and electrical wireing problems i will have to deal with.
so if you all can lend a hand and help me with what else i can do to improve my HP would be very much appreciated.

The stock 86-88 13B non turbo motor makes 146hp and 138 or ft/lbs of torque, getting it to 200 hp is not for the faint hearted or the small pocket book. It is even harder with keeping emissions (some emissons parts will have to go no matter what).
But to get 200 hp (without nitrous) out of a non turbo is above the idea of bolt on parts. It requires porting and other work.

s-afc, is pretty much your only choice after what you have already (and technically even that is not "street legal").
Maybe also a high discharge ignition controller and Iridium plugs.
Between the two, you might (if you are really lucky) get another 15 or 20 or so peak HP

bump
because I am way too impatient.. so I must bump this up only 9 minutes after I asked my last question...a question that I should have searched for or read the FAQ for FC anyway.

Strip the weight down as much as possible. For the time and money it takes to get any power out of a N/A its much easier and cheaper to just drop a TII motor. I have a S5 N/A with a TII trans and a straight pipe with intake and a light flywheel and my friends stock S5 TII whips my *** pretty bad all the time. Sell your car and buy a TII if you want power. I think its worthless to invest big $$$ into a N/A unless you supercharge and even then you will still be losing to turbo charged FC's.

Unless you have really built up the engine or are drag racing, there would never be the need for a non-turbo to use the turbo tranny.
I guess; maybe if you were a crappy driver, and needed the extra strength to make up for crappy shifting style...then a R-type tranny would be worth it..., but it wouldn't last that much longer.

Uh actually I just happened to come across a TII parts car for $100 so I said hell yeah even though I was leaning towards a N/A trans. THe driveshaft wasn't custom built however. I just used the TII shaft and drilled the holes for it in my diff flange. It was for a swap and a heavy TII trans is much lighter than an automatic.

I thought the t2 trans was only a bit heavier then NA. Someone quoted me 30 pounds difference between the trans driveshaft diff and halfshafts of a T2 vs NA. anyone got 2 out to weigh? I'm quite fearful of breaking my NA tans and was going to drop a t2 trans in sometime after breakin so i can stop worrying about the trans/ not hard launching it..

Used an ACT prolite flywheel with a stock TII clutch. The clutch in the parts car was brand new with not a sign of any use. I actually recieved the flywheel in exchange for some of the parts off the TII. My friend recomended using it seeing as how its 13.5lb wieght was somewhat closer to the wieght of the old flex plate. I bolted it right to the counter wieght that was already on. It was a turbo flywheel out of his 10 second FD. I had it resurfaced and it was good as new. The TII trans itself is 19lbs heavier than the N/A and the shaft I would guess was about 5 pounds heavier at most.
