Question What do I need for more power?

(Engine swap- n/a for Series 5 Turbo 2) Air Intake, Front Mount Intercooler,Full turbo-back Racing Beat Turbo 2 racing exhaust, fuel cut defender, silicone vaccuume hoses and etc...

These are the only mods i have done to the engine... I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kinda numbers i'd be lookin at right now and what future mods would be good to get the car around 300-350 whp. I'm guessin right now i'm around 230 whp.

4x720's, some sort of fuel controller....BNR stage 3, and turn up the boost. Go 3 inch exhaust, and get rid of the stock intake hose with a more direct route. That'll get you over 300.

fuel controller, boost controller, BNR stage 2 or 3 turbo.........upgrade the fuel system (injectors, fuel pump, lines, FPR), standalone, remove all emissions to keep the engine bay tidy and empty.....don't forget the important cooling mods......watch your temps when you push the 7.....the oil cooler gets less AIR now and you don't wanna risk blowing your motor.

your estimate of 230 hp seems reasonable but you can't know until you dyno.

720's sounds good, i had planned on going with something around 580 for prim. and something larger for sec., bigger turbo, and a boost controller. i just had the swap done and i havent even installed a boost guage yet. the racing beat exhaust is 3 inch, i love the way it sounds. yall visit my site at http://www.carsponsors.com/profile.php and tell me what you think of my car??? just wanting a little input!

you're a billion times better than some of the noobs I've seen...welcome to the club.......good luck and keep us posted.......look into wideband O2 and/or EGT so you can fine tune your car to the way you drive.

thanks and i appreciate the advice, i dont know why the link wont work for you, did you click on the hyperlink in my second post, maybe that'll work. If any of you know some good maintainence tips for the new turbo setup i'd appreciate the input cause i know these rotorys take a lot to keep in good shape. also whenever i tune my boost, what would be a safe level not to blow any seals... i was thinking about boosting around 13psi

not on a stock turbo.........250 is the max on his mods and even then he's playing russian roulette when he boosts.........where are you getting your 300HP estimate on his current mods?
