Hey everyone,
So I've always loved neons ever since I started driving 10 years ago. I finally took the leap into the nsrt4 world 3 months ago and living out my high school dream. I've never owned any turbod cars or really anything more than 120 hp lol. I actually daily drive an 05 sxt, and this is my fun/project/weekend car. I picked this silver 05 srt4 up for 4800 with 106k miles, complete tranny rebuild at 100k with DCR parts stage 2 south bend clutch at the same time, has a bfmic, full turbo back exhaust, agp wga (spikes at like 19psi), agp hard pipe, raceland coilovers, acr bbs rims, aem Cai, custom dsp tune, aem afr gauge..so from the minute I shifted this baby into first to now I love it to death. It is in mint condition inside and out and between that and the transmission rebuild (owner gave me receipts of all the work done to the car since he had it so I knew that was legit) I was sold. He said he had it dyno ed and it was at about 280 hp or something, but I don't think he ever did but I do know it's quick. Like I said I've never really owned any serious fast cars so I don't have much to compare to. My real reason for joining here is to figure out where to go next. I've actually read a ton on this forum but I just decided to join. Sitting on the side right now I have a Maddog sts, oil catch can, pcv valve, and Walbro 255 (I figured wherever I go from here I'll need that place the rewire kit ). I really want to be in the 350-375 hp range. I feel like from what I've read I'm close to maxing out the stock turbo. Porting the exhaust and intake Manny are really the next steps in maxing out my stock turbo is that correct?
I've really been doing a lot of reading but my thoughts are all over the place in where to go and where to access the parts I need. Note that I'm from NYC so any locals or people that can forward me the some local shops or people to talk to about where to go in the NY nj pa area would be awesome.
So since I have a lot of the supporting mods, I was thinking of getting an e1 bws (or another bws if anyone has suggestion), bigger injectors ( >750cc), possible porting the intake and exhaust Manny (just came across sdk motorsporys and they do porting for exhaust and intake Manny, are they reliable? Anyone else I can contact?) Also upgrading the map and tip sensors too or would thst be a waste? Say I was running 22psi on a bws, the map and tip sensors max at 18 psi correct? Also how will running e85 on top of all this change things? Do I need a fuel return line to run e85? When do return lines become necessary?
So that's all I really got so far. I don't think I really want to go big turbo right now. I also don't want to have the engine rebuilt or anything right now so I'd like to keep it around 350 to 375 max right now as easy as possible(I feel like going big turbo begins to make the process a bit more difficult. Thanks for everyone's help in advance, as you can see I have searched the forums and read a lot, I am just looking for help and advice solely related to my case, and maybe some people in the area to cruise and build and shit with. Nice meeting everyone.
