So my final goal for power as of right now is to be at 260 dailyable hp and i was wondering if anyone might have some insight as to what that'd take. i currently have an na s4 but if a swap is required then by all means im fine with it the goal is just to make that power reliably.

 

13BT swap and then use the following guide:

FC3S Pro v2.0: From Mild 2 Wild - Power

There are ways to get that much power NA but steeetable is unlikely. Especially since streetports making that much power are rare (check out infernosg's build) and usually use turbo irons anyways.

 

My setup:
Stock port s5 t2 engine.
S5 na engine harness and just lengthened a few connectors (cas & tps iirc)
Panspeed hybrid turbo (equivalent to bnr stage 3).
apexi power fd3s fc ecu, datalogit, banzai racing s5 patch harness, 3 bar map sensor.
720cc primaries, 850cc secondaries
fmic
intake
3” turbo back
greddy Profec b spec 2 ebc set to 15 psi.
walbro 255lph fuel pump with fuel pump relay.
zeitronix zt2 wideband

Low 300’s hp which is no slouch.

260 will feel great especially if you run an electronic boost controller. It’ll build boost/torque faster, even at stock boost level.

you’ll need a wideband o2 sensor to monitor afr’s so budget ~$200 for that. Recommend aem uego or similar/better.

 

You can break apart my build and see where to save my money.

My current setup is enough fun for me, and my old setup was good enough.

Old setup used an rtek 1.8 ecu, apexi safc neo, 720 primaries and secondaries, stock turbo and switched over to the hybrid setup, fmic, and fuel cut defender.
