well saying "i want my car to be real quick" is not a goal. Please justify this.

lol you could **** on evos if you made 240-300hp Evo's stock only make 286 i believe. You could make 260 hp and still beat an evo.. it's not that hard and the reason being is because you weight far less then an evo. Turboing your car would get you to 400 easily but reliably, i could not tell you. That's something you'd have to ask someone who's been down that road or you can call a performance shop. if you want 400 reliably then that's where you want to start fully building your motor.

I wouldn't go Greddy. A guy around here went through 4 in a year (warranties) on his type s. Full-Race or PeakBoost if you have the money.

its not recomended to get agressive cams with a turbo setup your going to need special turbo cams and if you wanna get a exhaust your just going to need to change it later because if you want high hp in a turbo car your going to need 3in piping if i were you i would do a little more reasearch. if you wanna see some good gains all motor i would do RBC intake manifold ditch your shorty header and buy a nice Race header (not dc race header) an exhaust and k-pro thats your basic all motor setup that will get you some nice gains

Maybe but Greddy turbo kits don't lag much. That n/a setup would cost about the same as the Greddy turbo kit too.

you could do a rbc intake manifold and some boost cams but i think you would be fine with stock cams also if your gonna daily drive the car i wouldent recommend anything over 300whp my friend daily drove his turbo rsx for a while it made like 410whp and he would go through tires like crazy and would burn out alot

you need to search ... if you want 400 whp stay away from greddy .. you will never achieve that ... leave your stock cams for turbo .. be prepared to spend money ... alot

search button is your friend
