yah someone should write up a quicky one. the only trouble is you kinda need to decide what you're looking for before you start, otherwise you end up redoing stuff.



street car? race car? 300hp? 400hp? 500hp?



300-400hp level, theres many ways to do it, but over 400 you need to get a big turbo, and the supporting stuff (fuel supply, cooling etc etc) becomes more and more important

yea, i was thinking start off with 3" exhaust, airfilters, remove some useless accesories off the motor, upp the boost a bit, get a fuel pump either a bosch or something like a tomei, and probebly a apexi PFC and if i get bored of that, probebly start to get serious and go single turbo. Once the engine wears out and i rebuild it ill probebly build it for some good power https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

yep, basically. if you leave the stock cat in it will save the engine (unless you've got good fuel, we dont), and then you want to be careful about raising the boost

isnt what hes looking for called the 3 step upgrade or something?

o probebly i dunno, i see tuning guides for SR20 and that **** all over the place but i havnt seena decent one for the REW

the main cat will limit the boost to a point thats still safe. without the cat, it spikes, and blows up. we do have crappy fuel here though.

i thought the afc could controll boost? I've been running 15 pounds and a catless 3" exhaust for a year now but i also have aem ems (stock twins)

Here is my advice..



replace the pre-cat with DP.



Anything else, its up to you, but DP should be the first thing any FD owner should do.



stock radiator is good enough, contray to what most people say. As long as the plastic casing is in good condition, its pointless to replace.. Unless you are paranoid that it will break and you'll spill all coolant.



stock ast, same reason as the stock rad.



stock wires vs aftermarket.. I personally don't think it makes that much different.. unless you have some old ass wires.. especially someone making less than 400HP.



Key to sucessful ownership of FD's is to monitor whats going on with your car. Watch your water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, boost, etc etc.. when something is wrong, you need to fix it before it goes boom.



Good luck!
