[boostedchick]

hey this is my first time posting in here, ive got a BEAUTIFUL red 3k that i want to mod, what all do you guys think i should do to make it faster?

[youngvr4]

read the faq above. how powerful/fast do you want it to be?

[boostedchick]

FAQ, k got it. oh i dunno im thinking 12s? 11s?

[Crackhedbob341]

we need year and model.. do some free mods. if it's a vr-4 do a free boost and gut your precats.

if N/A gut your precats and take off the resonator bottle. it sounds better.

Hmm, seeing as your name is "Boosted Chick" I'll go ahead and assume you have a vr4, its a first gen so yes, you should do the free boost mod, I think its in the faq, otherwise check stealth316.com and vr4stealth.com

This will put your boost up to the second gen factory settings and get you up to around 320hp if your car is in decent shape.

Read the staged upgrades in the FAQ and it will answer all your questions about what you will need to do.

Oh, also, welcome to AF

intake (doesnt matter which really), and anything you can do to free up the exhaust flow.

but, to get those kind of numbers, you will eventually need to get some larger turbos...and supporting mods.

and dont forget to post pics in the 'pics of your ride' thread!

Welcome to the boards. 12's are easy to get to for less than a grand, 11's are a few thousand dollars away. As stated, free boost mod, intake, and downpipe/catback. Puts you to high 12's if you have a bit of driving skill. If you still want more you'll have to get some larger turbos.

[boostedchick]

ha wow thanks for the info, unfortunately im at 5,000 feet so hitting 12s is a bit more of a problem but im thinking low 12s high 11s. free boost mod and catback info is great but my catback is already just under 3 from the factory- hitting 11s on that i dont see a problem with yeah shes a vr4. right now ive got a boost controller (peaking at 19 pounds on my stock turbos), 450 injectros, super AFC 2, intake... then little stuff MSD wires, copper plugs. it looks like my next step is bigger turbos? any suggestions?

TD-05's

always a fan of the EVO's myself, but you dont need to get thaat crazy to hit 11s.

[Girly VR-4]

15g's or evo3 16g's.

I've got a 15g/13g combo on my stealth, it's a great street set-up. builds boost quick, and pulls hard to redline, and makes great power. (with that being said, I may upgrade to twin 15g's over the winter haha)

And we've got evo3 16g's on our 98 VR-4... BAD ASS!!! that's the only way to describe that car. HAHA On a VERY basic/conservative tune, at 17psi we're making about 430awhp, with the AEM EMS on a stock block. Daily driven since May up until a few weeks ago when it was put down for the winter... it's reliable too. HAHA that's probably our most modified car, and definitely one of the most reliable cars we own. lol funny how that works sometimes. lol

Those turbos have a little more lag to them, but DAMN if they pull like a mo-fo. Still a very good street set-up, if you want to spend the extra few thousand on that set-up.

[Girly VR-4]

BTW, nice to see another girl into these cars

Welcome to the boards. Are you seriously running 19psi on stock turbos. They only hold 10psi to redline, so in upper rpms you are definitely blowing alot of hot air and not much else. I didn't catch what year you have, but a datalogger to log knock should be your next mod. I'd be worried about knock already. Fuel pump would be my next one. Also I didn't see a downpipe listed.

At 5,000ft I would think most, if not all TD04 sized turbos aren't gonna be sufficient for anything in the 11s. I don't know how old you are, or what your current situation is, and I definitly don't recommend TD05 turbos for everyone, but if those goals are realistic for you, then that's the route I'd recommend. Hopefully you've had a chance to check out hte FAQ by now. Not many people on this board have gone TD05, a few, but not as many as other boards like 3si, but if you have questions just ask.
