get power without spending a lot of $$

[mtparker18]

Hey guys.
I have a 2003 GS3, I was driving around yesterday and thought "I don't have enough power"

My question is, What can I do to get about 300-350hp without spending a lot of cash.

I already have a tanable exhaust and an SRT intake w/ race ECU, if this helps.

Thanks guys & gals.

turbo or supercharger is the only way to hit that hp mark

[mtparker18]

I was thinking about doing that kit that's like $1700. But I know I'm gonna have to buy more stuff for it. And I'm gonna have to have a shop install it because I don't know how much about installing turbos and I'm afraid I'm going to screw something up. So I'm going to have to pay for labor too.


Is there any other suggestions?

[TSVAristo]

nope..turbo or supercharger thats it..

200 shot of NOS :ohnoes::ohnoes:

[mtparker18]

[jcat_GS3]

Cheap, Fast, Reliable.

about turbo... you can def get a whole setup for 1700 and even less than that. You can buy xspower kit from Mark witch has beep proven to work well or you can piece your own kit for little less if you know what to look for. Installing a kit is not that hard, the hardest part in a build is to get all the parts to finish it up. With a 1700 bux and our help you will be running boost in no time

Well, now my goal is 400-420whp. Pm me what I'd need to buy to hit this mark.

tubronetics used to make one. but best bet is to piece one together.

[spd_dvl]

i'm curious on doing this as well i'm looking for a reliable set up with constant power and no issues.

Goals are?

[domantas]

probaly stayin on stock 330s is the best option for reliable 300hp car. Is your car obd1 or 2?

[jriggs]

parker,
just do what i did at first 125 wet shot of funny gas. window switch set to deactivate it right before the shift points so you can just enjoy wot and solid shifts.

if done right like most power adders n2o is plenty safe and the car can handle it. heck the rental mini van we had to hall the film crew around earlier this week took a 150 shot like a champ lol

if you want more power all the time, turbo charge it or sell the gs300 and pick up a gs400/430

good luck on your quest for power!

[fuselex614]

so i can buy that 1700 dollar kit for my 93 gs 300 on my 164,000 mile engine and i will be set?? what else would i need to add and change??

[domantas]

safc, wideband (or two hours of tune in the dyno), intercooler piping, upgrade oil drain line and that ads anoher $400-500

[fuselex614]

what about my auto transmission?? it will be able to handle that kind of power with the motor?

[domantas]

you should be good on stock injector setup

[fuselex614]

nice im going to be ordering this kit when i have the chance.. i emailed mark and i never got a response yet... i dont see the t57 on advertisement which is recommended for my car... but i guess the t61 should be ok... im not trying to go for massive gains just a little bit of go...

[mtparker18]

Yeah man, don't worry about the tranny til you get into 375 and up range

I'm pretty sure the T57 is discontinued now. The kits have changed a bit now so that the T61 can fit on pretty much anything

[boosted-gs]

at 375 your be slipping every shift! you'll need something to cool the tranny down as well...i suggest a vb, sprag and trany cooler upgrade...then you'll be safe for 400rwhp daily keyword is daily!

[mtparker18]

Bumping my old post :p

What midpipe would fit my car from the downpipe to the ypipe?

I really don't feel like going to an exhaust shop and have them do it.
