stupid i know but i want know what you guys think, 3sgte 275 to 300 to the wheels Options

[urbandork]

From what ive read 275 to the wheels (fwd) is what you can get out of a 3rd gen 3sgte with out giong crazy with fuel mang, fmic and other stuff is this ture??? if not what can i expect with simple bolt ons?

im basically thinking of getting some more power from the motor which currently is just stock other then a dp and about 3 ft of exhaust with a race series magnaflow under the shifter area.... yes thats right it doesnt go all the way to the back. (how much whp do u think im running now??)

so ive read that the motor and turbo set up is good for about 14 psi as with anything above id have to worry about knock.

hopfully i can get my hands on a mines ecu as i dont want to fiddle around with any standalone fuel mang., fmic, and would like to keep things rather simple.

what do you guys suggest?

i was thinking dp, exhaust, mines ecu, and an ebc putting the boost at 14 psi, and MAYBE a custom intake manifold like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/3SGTE-intake-manifold-...1QQcmdZViewItem
everythign else stock.

what kind of numbers would you estimate with and w/out the intake manifold??????

thanks?

you have much to learn, my son...


yes, 275-300hp is totally doable on your motor/turbo. however dont waste your money on any mines ecu or an intake manifold.

for starters, get yourself a full 3in exhaust, if you dont already have one, and get rid of any cats you have. then find a local dyno, and book some time. 14psi is totally stock boost on that motor. you can run alot more then that! the best thing to do would be to slowly start turning up the boost past 14psi while on the dyno. you should be able to run about 16-17 psi, without knock. this would meet your goal.

you should also be able to do the knock detection led mod i posted about in the stickes, on your 3rd gen. while its not the ultimate way to monitor knock, it does give you good feed back on whats going on, as your run more and more boost.
