more power cheap Options

[mk7celica]

SO I went to the track best was 14.3 @ 99.7 and I had bad wheel hop but I am working on that. But I want more power cheap. Have 3 inch exhaust dp, ect. No injectors yet. But I am on a 1500 budget. I was looking at the ats ct/27 with rom tune for 1300. And I will get 550cc injectors and fuel rail also. But is there any other setups for close to 1500 with morepower with out getting a ems? Also I am going to add methinjection. I ran 14.3 with wheel hop with out wheel hop it should be 13.7 or 13.8 with my current setup with the ats kit I dont think I will take a whole secong off? Any suggestions on getting more power

why dont you invest in your suspension instead and get all your power to the ground first

2nd get better tire.... drag radials etc

then look to add power

X4! if u cnt hook it up, there is no point in adding more power, that will just make your problem worse, and wheel hop is nasty to final drive gears, so be careful.

ok first, what psi are you at? do you have an EBC? a water injection kit will help as you have said you are going to get. this will only let you run more boost safely with out kncoking. theres no need to jump right to a "larger turbo and injectors" right away. you want your cars componets all in sync with one another so you are sure you are getting the maximum performance out of each part. if you have simple mods such as a FMIC, boost controler, 3" exhaust, and you are running more then stock boost i highly suggest you get a good tune on a dyno jet. 1) because everything will be in check, and 2) also to see what kind of numbers you are working with, then base what kind of HP you are going for off of that and gather the right parts accordingly. everyone has this big idea of, Hey im gonna strap on my new garrett 70 trim and crank the boost up. you have to do your research and learn everything you can. as stated above suspension would defentially help with wheel hop and hooking. i would look into a nice set of drag radials to start(probably looking at 200 for a decent front set) $1500-$200=$1300..a good tune is probably going to be around 250-300 depending where you go and how many pulls you want $1300-$300= $1000...with that $1000 thats left i would look into sway bars and end links which will help with your wheel hop problem(est.$300)=$700 upgrade to a ct20b and get your car retuned. after that enjoy it and save your money. that is what i would do if i was in your position with that kind of money. be smart and do your research and you will understand your car a lot better and be a lot more satisfied with it when you do simple upgrades to it and your getting the most out of it.

Get a ct20b, powerFc and some ats cam gears.

Well the wheel hop is in 1st only. What My dad said I should have just kept the rpms high keeping wheels spinning and ust shift into 2nd while the wheels are spining near redline. I did not try this though. It is a good idea since I had no wheel hop or spin in 2nd.

Well I have a mbc with the mods you stated and its set to 14lbs on my boost gauge. And a shop can tune my car with the stock ecu? I tried the sticky on reseting my ecu by pulling the fuses as the directions said but it seemed the same. the sticky said it would get all my mods working right guess not. I am debating on buying a ct20b from a member on here so that might be in the works.

yeah, but spinning your tires is still hurting your times, and trans, just spend the few hundred, and get it to hook up right, and reseting your ecu just puts it into learn mode for tha factory settings, it will make minor ajustments to your more efficient intake and exhaust, but that is very limited, thats why a piggy back or full stand alone is recomended, because u will have full control, and be able to tune to what your engine likes best.
