350 to 400hp

[LegAhhSee]

How easy would it be to build 350 to 400hp in my ej20, what would be the best way to approch this task and would it be very expensive, would i have to upgrade the suspension, i wanna be able to stomp the gas pedal and roast all four tires one time, or is that not possible, still dont no too much about these cars but wanna make a monster. any help to were i can get parts and shop work would be appreciate, its a JDM 2000 legacy gt wagon.

Start by saving up about $10-15k and start reading.

Easy peesy to make the power.

A much different question how to get it to the ground. Your oem 5-speed (or AT) would grenade itself with your purposed driving desires.

He already has a JDM turbo motor, so probably not nearly that much.

The transmission however...

Lets get a bit more specific.

Brake Horsepower or Wheel Horsepower?

Since you live in the Cayman Islands how easy is it for you to source items? One of our old members Scubba had a BG5 and he had a hard time finding certain items in the Cayman Islands.

Breaking traction from a stand still will only happen when you launch.... Redline side stepping will eventually as many others have said grenade your 4EAT or 5MT.. Some 5MT's can handle certain amount of abuse but in the end you're playing with fire.

What mods do you have? Usually the EJ20 block has issues going past 350 AWHP but it all depends on the reinforcement items you go with.

Wheel hp, parts r a no no hear, cant even find good brake pads, everything would have to come from overseas, i was really just kidding about the tire spin, and really the car is pretty fast, any minor upgrades i could do to boost the hp some more, like bigger injectors or maybe change the air filter, also a question i been wanting to ask and keep forgetting, with the car being 4EAT with the sport shifter, how can i get that blow off sound that the turbos make, will i get that if i put a BOV on the car, i also read somewere that these cars have 2 BOVs, is that tru

You should read this before you start throwing money at your twin turbo setup.

If you are looking for more power without going overboard simple things like:
- Thicker Top Mount Intercooler or Front Mount Intercooler
- Larger Injectors + ECU Piggyback or full standalone ECU
- Converting from twin turbo to Single Turbo
- Larger downpipe w/o catalytics converter (only if its not illegal :p )
- 3" cat back exhuast
- K&N or equal drop in filter
- Removing the A/C system :-p unless its a necessary

That's at the edge of the capacity for good aftermarket TMIC's, but with the small stock hood scoop, I wouldn't go that route, since there isn't enough cross sectional area to give you the required flow over even the largest of intercooler. So a front mount is probably on order. You'll want to convert to single turbo though, since there's tons of options for stock location (single) turbochargers that will meet your power goals. Obviously, you'll need big injectors, a fuel pump upgraded, and most importantly, a professional tune.
