Performance upgrades, need help!

ok, without boosting....for 300bhp

headers
full exhaust
intake
lightweight flywheel
lightweight pulleys
fluidampr crank pulley(safety)
clutch (to hold the power your shooting for)
powermod tuner
ported upper and lower intake manifold
i would get cobra coils as well
wideband
water/meth injection(optional, but a good thing to have due to the aggressive tune you'll need to run)

the above will get you there. but it would require running 93 octane and running a very aggresive tune. that was for NA with no big power adder and would wind up costing around 3-4k or so for everything


Or....

headers, intake, and a 50-75 shot(wet shot) of nitrous, and the powermod tuner, and the egr mod, clutch, wideband

this can be done for about 2-2.5k


now these prices are assuming you do all the work yourself (installs). if you have to pay a shop to do the installs and tuning then the prices will go up.




Boosting.....

you'll be spending about 4k+ if your going to turbo. or you can buy the base kit supercharger from nautilus performance for about $3800 and add a clutch to that.



it can get expensive. the biggest part of pulling it all together in tuning the car to its max potential. im sure i may have missed one or two things. but this is just a helper to see and help you gauge what basically needs to happen

the charge from a turbo is still sucked or induced into a combustion chamber, just like the charge or a nitrous spray. both are held under pressure and create positive crank case pressure....... both required addition fuel because they have increased the volume of O2 in the combustion chamber.....

they are the same thing by all accounts. N20(nitrous oxide, not di-oxide) doesn't burn like gasoline.

If you spray it and ignite it, it does not explode as it is not combustible. it needs a fuel additive to combust... butane, gasoline, alcohol, ect.

as for your reference of 300 BHP...... you step out of BHP and have stepped into WHP pretty damn quick with your reference nor would I have any idea on what upgrades would need to be compatible with a Evo.

never mind things like elavation, temp, tires, power loss at the drive train on both vehicles, suspension ect would all pay a huge roll. Non of which should have a reference to BHP as this is souling what an engine makes in a solid state.

Ps Much respect to you justin and you know that, just don't want anyone having misconceptions about these systems.

Not sure how I went out of bhp into whp in the post you quoted.

But anyway....you are completely wrong about something. The air from turbos and superchargers does not get sucked in by an engine. It is blown into the engine under load enough overcome atmopheric. Why do you think they call it boost? We are talking power here. So in turn we are talking WOT. You go wot on any supercharged or turbo car you will see positive manifold pressure. Boost is the common term. Boost happens because the turbo or supercharger is forcing air into the engine fatser than it can suck. Another term...force fed. The air is pressurized...if the engine was sucking more than the turbo or supercharger you would never see boost. Turbos and superchargers are the morst cost effective way to achieve. VE well beyond 100%. The ONLY time a turbo or supercharged equipped vehicle is sucking is at idle or part throtlle (loads under the threashold to create boost or overcome atmopheric pressuse)

There are NA motor than have been known to see boost...but it happens in motors built bananas by someone with the knowlegde and hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so.

A nitrous motor does not see above atmopheric pressure unless its built like the above example. The nitrous is still sucked in by the motor alone. Not blown into the. Chambers.
