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

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?

isn't your exhaust ... like ... crazy loud?

yes, pretty much all you need to do is turn up the boost. how much are you at now?

its not to loud ok maybe a little but i like it... What makes it really loud is the fact that the muffler is actually right under you when ur driving so the cabin acts like a drum and with the windows inside it can get pretty intence on long trips.

as of now im running whatever stock boost is which i was told was like 12 right???? someone told me that with the d/p i might get some boost creep.

i had a boost guage on my 5sfte but took it off since i was only running with a stock ecu and plus i have a hybrid st204 w/ usdm speedo so i have that little boost gauge that the gt4s have... which ive been told is slow and really doesnt do anything.... thus ive been thinking of buying a boost gauge but now that all i need is to raise the boost i may get an EBC with boost read out.

i know the rev 3 3sgte has 540cc injectors stock which is good for a lot more hp then i plan on running but will the ecu have the correct fuel mapping for higher boost.

I figured a mines ecu along with an EBC would get me where i want to be. I thought that the mines ecu had a higher boost setting as well as a better fuel and timming mapping and IICR it also had a speed limiter defender on it to. So i figured with a mines ecu and EBC id get everythign ive been thinking of getting in a simpler package ........ higher boost, better tuning, way of reading boost, and a speed cut defender

then i figured that that intake manifold would help me out even over stock? that ebay auction was claming 13% gains on a totally stock 3s...... do you think thats ture/reasonable... Plus the shinny polished alum. would look really good with my cusco sturt bar and the anodized blue TB would look good with my cusco sturt bar and camber plates.

btw just for the ease, wow factor, and stock look i want to keep my top mount w/a ic which should be good for up to 16 psi or right? which the ct20b kinda maxes out around anyway.


PS thanks you guys for all ur input. I really enjoy listening and seeing what you all have to say.... Its kinda like being at a meet lol.
