"I got a question tough. I got a 3SGE engine that is about 175 hp stock (thats what is listed here in the netherlands, but i believe the engine should be 170 hp). What is the best (and cheapest) way to gain a bit more power without turbo charging it ? My goal is about 200 hp, and i want a faster 0-60 time. Stock its 8 seconds, and i want about 7 seconds. Got any tips on this one ?

Also, if i would have alot of money, cant i just replace all the parts of my 3SGE engine with parts of the GT4 3SGTE (3rd gen) engine ?? Is this possible or do i need major adjustments to do this ?"

I believe that every car should be fully tuned. Spark plugs, oil, filter change and so on.

Please let me know how you normally drive.

I use to drive flat out all the time. Now, I am trying to save gas. Sometimes, I have a little fun. But when I get serious, I crank the fuel up and lets have it.

Look forward to your reply before I answer.

Well to answer ur question. I drive very relaxed... normally my rpm is between 3000 and 4000. This is cause i have to drive a lot every day to my work and back. There is no need for some extra power there. But, in the weekends i like to go all the way.

So it would be nice 2 have drivability comfort, but also some more power for the times i want to. Thats why my goal aint 250 or 300 hp like some others. I just want some more acceleration and power in the lower RPM's. I was thinking of getting HKS camshafts, camgears and valve springs. Together with a Jun flywheel, an apexi air intake and a HKS silent high power exhaust system. I think this will help me get some more power, just dont know it for sure.

But those mods cost about the same as a Top Fuel turbo kit. But i wonder if the Top Fuel kit is enough to fit right. Cause it doesnt have an intercooler, and i think i would have to tune more stuff to make it work right. And that will cost me a lot more.

Any advice is appreciated.

PS, that small turbo sounds good, but are there any complete kits that i can buy that includes everything i need 2 make it work right without problems ? Got any websites where i might purchase such turbokit ?
