Twin Turbo 1st Gen Project
Ok, I know not everyone has time to read a superlong post so Ill try to be concise...
THE STORY:
I have a relatively excellent shape REW sitting in the garage. I decided to rebuild it first to start everything afresh. Its pretty stock, but with the exhaust I imagine that right now itll make in the neighborhood of 300 horse. That should equate to a about 12 flat in the quarter which I was happy with. HOWEVER cars seem to be getting quicker and quicker, So I want to see how much and what I can do exactly to make my car a true rocket. (I have many a score to settle)
I have plenty of time for my project, and I can save money, so these are not big problems. Id rather wait to do it right than rush a poor job. So with this in mind...
THE PROJECT:
My main question is How much power can I run (squeeze) with the stock (Jspec?) twins, and have a reliable car for 50,000miles or more? And what would be the best upgrades to acheive this, keeping it sequential?
I'm ordering a rebuild kit soon, and that would be the perfect time to beef up the motor.
Im tossing around the Idea of streetporting it, but I dont know all of the cons yet.
Nitrous also sounds VERY enticing, as well as a potential nightmare
Right now on my list are:
Racing seals and gasgets
Higher Flow injectors
Haltech
Lightened Flywheel
I think with this I should be able to make about 400 or so horse.. with a streetport and nitrous set up maybe 5 to 600 on the juice?
*I know this is going to be a long, expensive, and complicated project, but is it not worth it!!
*
TO THE EASILY ANNOYED:
I know Ive posted this elsewhere, and I dont mean to beat a dead horse, but once and for all I wanted a thread I can find easily, and post all updates in. And I admit Im still new to this

**With proper tuning You can run all the power You can afford, streetability might come in play.
*Definately beef up the motor, perform every oil system modification possible.
*Make sure the stock twins will support the kind of streetporting You desire.
*Nitrous is fun, but proper tuning is just as crucial as with any turbo setup. Besides its "cheating"
*4-5-600 horsepower, is hardly reliable in the long run.
*But YES it will be worth it, go for it and keep the pictures coming..
