im a newb to this forum and so far this forum looks good. ok well i blew my motor and i just got a new 4g63t motor and i just got my act 2600lb clutch and streelite flywheel. my car already has an apexi n1 exhaust with 3" piping and i have an intake and a turboxs bov. i have 600 dollars left to spend. i know thats not much to work with but what is a good part i can get to give me some more power. i have a boost controller also. i was thinking either pulleys, or cam gears, but im not to sure. if someone could please help me i would appreciate it.

Iwouldnt bother with either of those two mods. In fact, I would save that money for all the little things that will nickel and dime you to death installing the new motor If hte motor is already installed, I would start looking into fuel mods and datalogging/tuning devices if you plan to upgrade the turbo later. In fact, Assuming yo have a 95 bsed on your screen name, DSMlink may be an option. And its 600 bucks, imagine that

well im getting the motor, clutch, flywheel, short shifter and big brake kit installed for 300 bucks because ive known my mechanic for so long, and i have 600 dollars left over so.....are you talking like a walbro255, better injectors, that kind of thing. and what is a dsmlink? ill be installing a 16 turbo in about 3 weeks so...yeah upgraded turbo is on the way.

Better injectors and a bigger fuel pump will be necessary to maximize your 16g. DSMlink is one of the most advanced tuning and logging programs made for the DSM. It is what most of the "fast guys" like Kevin switch up to when they are past the point of simpler tuning with an AFC and logging software run on a PDA (see www.pocketlogger.com).

ill be honest, i know alot about cars and what to do but when i get into ecu's and programming, IM STUPID!!!! now if i were to get the dsmlink and have my guy install it, is it just plug and play and all set or what. cause if its around 600 bucks and will help my car out alot ill get it? what will the dsmlink do for my car? better mixture of air/fuel? or what?

Try going here and looking around a bit. http://www.dsmlink.com/

It is an advanced engine management system that requires a lot of time and testing. If you have big plans for the car as a track car, this is probably what you want to run. If you're intending your car to be just a quick street car for now, buy an AFC (Air Flow Converter) and a logger (a little PDA with software installed to show how your engine is running). This will enable you to see how your car is performing on the most basic level, and then adjust air/fuel trims accordingly.

well i dont know that its going to be a track car cause it is my daily driver. yeah i want it to be quick to hang with the big boys on the street and go to the track once in a while, so.....do you think an apex avc-r or s-afc or greddy profec b will be sufficient?

ok ill read up on that. well i have a manual boost controller but it only holds up to 10lbs so i need to get that upgraded. but ill check into it and see what the hell i need.
