"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.

My advice to you is to get an Autronics SM or SM2 ECU.

Why, you have them there and there are tuners there.

I would also advice a Jun Flywheel, MSD Digital SCI Plus or a MSD Digital 7 Plus w/ HVC II coil.

If you go with the Autronics, get the MSD DIS-4 Ignition controller which will allow a coil per cylinder.

The Apexi filter and HSK Hi-Power also sounds good.

Get some Hyperground Cables and some MSD ignition cables.

Drop the car a bit with Tein or JIC or Cusco suspension.

A bigger cam will require you to rev a little bit more to make power. Go with 264.

It is very possible that you can go on the hks forum and ask for a turbo kit for the 3sge for 250 flywheel HP. There have all the parts that you can use., since majority fits the 3sgte.

Spend some tine with blitz or hks. Even Jun can help you for what you need for your application. I will check my turbomagazine. There is a kit for the 3sge that was use on a lexus IS300 I think. But a lexus.

The main problem with a turbo setup is the delivery of oil.
