At this point in time I'm going to stick with 500~HP. I ended up driving a friends 500HP Supra and I was contempt with that. I'm going to be spending about $4700 USD ($6600 CDN roughly) To make 500hp with the current list of mods I have. The bank will need time to grow after that. I forgot to mention I'm a younger guy (18), I have money saved, but $6000+ for anyone is a lot of money. I'm trying to keep the costs as low as possible, but I know I picked an expensive car to work on. As well, I wasn't %100 on an ECU to pick! If someone could point me in the right direction please!
Please feel free to correct me if you think there is a better product for cheaper on a different site or anywhere else!
Current Mod List:
CX Racing 3" Down pipe - 2JZ GTE MK4
Precision 6266 CEA - (From ETS Website)
(FID)Fuel Injector Development 1000cc Injectors
3" Straight Pipe
CX RACING Front Mount Intercooler Kit - MK4 2JZGTE, Single Turbo 4" Core
DOC Race Top Mount Manifold
Soutbend 6 Puck clutch (Part# K16093 SS-O-DMF )
WalBro 400 LPH Fuel Pump
First of all, ditch the CX racing intercooler, DP is okay as its a passive component. For IC, maybe go with the ETS, or one of the HKS, or find a decent used one. There have been many cores for sale on here.
Second, ditch the doc race manifold, get a treadstone or SPA cast manifold unless you really want a tubular for other reasons. I think tubular manis are great and all, but price for performance you will never beat a cast manifold.
If you have a budget then a tubular is not the way to go. Even the guys I know with pretty huge budgets have gone cast.
Everything else on the list seems solid, it will give you room to play around with power.
ECU you can reach your goals with a map ecu3, piggyback
If you want standalone, well they are all good, AEM, Haltech, PROefi, you need to buy an ECU based on the tuners around you.
You dont want to buy an AEM ecu when the guy who is going to tune your car is best with Proefi.
Also, I did not do the math, but if everything on your list is $6600 CAD;
add another ~$1500+ to that for the "oh shit" fund. Things are old, things break, parts are not always reusable, etc.
(you may need a new stock flywheel for example)
