Bang for the $
Most power beside turbo or itb. Low budget already have intake exhaust, and will get header. Should I get aem tru power pulleys with under drive? What about cam ? Bigger throttle body? Intake Manifold? any suggestions will be seriously considered. I know this is kind of a broad question I just want to do something more for power that wont blow my car up.:PDT_Armataz_01_13:

pulleys are bad for the bearings and dont nothing.
bigger cams can help but will cost a decent amount if you cannot put them in yourself and if you get cams be sure to pick up cam gears to compliment them.
bigger throttlebody and intake manifold will not help you unless you are extremely modified.
my serious suggestion is to go turbo. costs a bit more but gets you much more power than all the stuff you have done and all the stuff you can bolt on. i put a turbo on a h22 prelude earlier this year and on 12lbs it was making well over 300whp

It depends on where you find deals but expect to spend at least $2,700 on a quality kit.lstyrluder;208901 wrote:yeah now that I think about it i might as well turbo it. prob not till after christmas tho. whats the least amount I would have to spend all said and done

wouldn't hurt to save some money first, to be safe, and there's always people trying to do quick sales on stuff, and all I ever see is people complaining about how much they would love to have whatever is for sale but don't have the $$$, I've seen turbo kits and superchargers go for pennies on the dollar before, and I was like damn, I just bought something else lol

Piece it together, don't cut corners.
Best way is to get a good manifold, decent externally gated turbo thats oil fed, not oil/water... less complications.
wideband, fuel pump, injectors...maybe a aftermarket fuel rail... etc.
have fun.

as stated above, piece together your own kit.
MUCH cheaper that way.
When it comes to fuel, just get urself DSM 450cc injectors, resistor box, walbro 255 fuel pump and u'll have maybe 175 bucks into that, if u buy the fuel pump brand new for 99 shipped.
No need on aftermarket fuel rail, ur stock one is fine.
get a quality turbo,manifold (thats where most of ur money will be) an ebay intercooler kit is totally worth it and fine and it comes with everything you need. Plenty ppl do this and the price is awsome. Just don't go and get the biggest intercooler you can b/c thats just overkill.
Go with a tial wastegate (38mm) you can find them cheap used. Go to exhaust shop and have them run you a 3" dp and exhaust or buy a used dp to fit ur setup.
Find a good name brand blow off valve as well. Greddy, apexi etc. you can pick these up used for cheap too.
Get you a p28 or p72 ecu ( i have no clue what motor you are using btw) so that ecu might be out of the question. Need jumper harness (again dk what motor u have, so you might not if you have obd1)
Then of course find you a good tuner ( i know one if you need one that tunes amazing and prices are unbeatable)
I had about 1,900 into my entire kit with all great quality parts and nothing has failed me or went wrong yet and i've been turbo'd for about 5 or 6 months now and its solid and don't see anything going wrong either.
but anyways just my .02cents.
