550 Hp At The Wheels 3sgte, Into my car!! Options

[TunerHawk]

Ok here it is. I am attempting to totally rebuild a 3sgte engine and have it put out around 550 Hp to the wheels.

Now before you I go any further. Anyone who posts a "you cant do it" or "well u gotta have this and that" DONT respond. I am pushing the limits and this hobby wouldnt even be here if people never pushed the limits. So with that all said and done. Here it is

I have not got a definite list of parts yet, but they well mostly consist of HKS.

Please no negative feedback on this. And 550 HP can be done, just look at SupraStores 700HP one. I know thats at the crank but still. Oh and I have read about every single post on this website about the swap and other sites to. Sorry for sounding kinda mean, just everytime I ask a question I get people battering me, and 90% of the time they are legit questions. Everyone should be so luckly to have a website and place to share ideas. So lets not bash anyone anymore. Thanks Coomer for putting up an endless supply of knowledge!

Now since I am going to totally tear apart the motor anyway, and hopefully do an AWD conversion later. It doesnt really matter what clip I get. I want the st205, because it hooks up to an AWD system stock. But at the same time the st185 is so much cheaper. And I can do alot with the extra money I save. Now here is the question:

If I am to rebuilt the engine from the ground-up, including blue-printing, does it really matter which clip I get? The st185 can hook up to an AWD system right?



Thank you all, because I really need your help!!!

yea dude, u could do 550 with an st205 or an st185, prolly would end up cheaper with the st185 anyway. you have to makeup for 30 HP, thats it. st205 has 255 stock and st185(JDM) has 225 stock. considering the costs and the fact that most things that fit a 3sgte will fit any 3sgte, and there is prolly more of a market for 2nd gen enhancements because more of them exist. plus an st185 clip costs about half of what a st205 clip costs. i bet if u got an st185 and spent enough on it to make it cost the same as a st205, you'd be around 350 hp right there. if u strictly just want the better engine, get the st205, because it IS better, but dollar for dollar, the st185 is prolly a better bet. but thats just IMO.
