Hey guys,

so i recently sold my EJ6 and found a EK hatch with a stock 96 LS motor and tranny in it. I plan on going the FI route with goals of 300 hp, but i really dont know where to start as i have no experience with dohc boosting, just boosting d series wealkings -_-. on a budget of ~3000, what kind of setup could i run?
i've heard something along the lines of a t3/t4 with a ported polished head, with new cams, rockers, retainers, etc? i assume a clutch a pressure plate upgrade is in store also for this car if i go this route.

Help before i do something bad XD. that 3000 doesnt include dynotuning etc. sus.

all help would be greatly appreciated, a starting point from where to go from would rock.

 

I think after supporting mods, it really depends on what turbo you run and tuning. I've seen 300 on stock ls motor.

 

well it seems the big challenge is finding a turbo that has topend power, and also dosent take until the next coming to spool

any suggestions from my more experienced peers?

 

for 300whp you could run a smallish t3/t4 and have nice throttle response/spool

 

t3 super 60 with a 63 hotside will get it done nicely for your goals of 300 and spool very well. That or a 16g

 

How about the rest of the setup asside from that turbo, is their any brand of bov, exhaut manifolds, wastegates etc i should look for?

can i like do a super 60 and an accompanying manifold, and just ebay parts the rest or not adviseable

 

so ive done research and here is a setup i came up with some honda tech people
tell me your thoughts guys

t3/t04 turbo or a super 60
blox ebay manifold, or possibly something superior lol
tial wastegate
boost and associative gauges
greddy bov
golden eagle vacuum idler
550cc dsm injectors with resistor box
the rest is SSautochrome parts
tuned on a p28 with crome/s200 hondata
alcohol injection
walbro 255
some boost controller
arp headstuds
stock LS motor with a stage 4 clutch upgrade on the LS trans

thoughts? i'd be tuning it at importsports in denver, which is one of the best shops in the nation

Pretty generic setup so there isn't much you could do wrong. Look in the market place for good deals on stuff. As far as the manifold/downpipe go, you can find those used for very affordable prices used, which is going to be better for you then the ebay bs.

Keep in my mind that most people get that itch for more power, so don't cut yourself short and then have to re-purchase all new parts when you get tired of 300whp.

Compression and leakdown test that motor before you mess with it at all though!
