How much power are you making? How long have you been boosted?

If I wasn't already over the financial hill with my turbo setup I really like the look of HKS V3. That with a little bump up in final drive would be a real nice street car.

Do you by chance know of anyone with our V3 kit in the DFW area that I could get in touch with?

HKS > SBD. If you gonna spend money. Buy quality parts.
A buddy of mine has the SBD kit and it does the job.
I opted for the Revolutions rp400 kit. Spent a lot more but if I re-did it I would go with the HKS kit.

I haven't dynoed my car yet. But a few have and it makes around 250 whp. The numbers Cosworth released were crank numbers (280 hp).

i wasnt boosted very long before an intake valve went. they arent expensive and they are very brittle stock. build your heads! i was making around 280-300 whp with the base v1 kit supporting fuel mods and ran e85. the best part is the power curve. its a solid line no dip, no big boost curve. once she gets up around 4,000 rpm... she gone. i would also replace rods if you are going to introduce any boost over 12 psi at 12.5 to 1 CR. i used a cosworth head gasket to lower compression about .08-1.0

my motor is sitting in the garage waiting for my connecting rods to finish being made currently*

my best advice is to make sure you keep an extra budget for the possibility of something going wrong after you boost your car. that or buy once and cry once. strengthen your heads and run 9-10 psi. the car should be what you're looking for with a conservative tune

I have the HKS kit for about a year now and I highly recommend it. Currently pushing 290whp on 93octane, more than enough power for the street and fun on the track as well.

Here's the dyno chart below along with my current setup. Car is tuned with ECUtek.
- HKS injector upgrade
- HKS oil cooler
- Tomei EL headers
- Tomei front pipe
- Tomei over pipe
- Greddy CS GTS V2 catback

No issues on that setup?
