Easy HP Gains?

Well i have a sr20det and a decent intercooler upgrade nothing huge 6x18x3 and custom made piping. but now im trying to think of ways to get a little more out of my engine and i figured that i would ask around and see what everyone else has done before i go and make rash decisions.

replacing fuel pump, filter, adjusting timing, lightening drivetrain, rebuilding turbo, upgrading camshafts, and the use of a boost controller are simple ways to increase power

another good power added is upgrading the valvetrain i.e. cam shafts. Larger camshafts will help you make some decent HP gains. you could also upgrade to a S15 BB turbo and increase the boost.

Hey bro, sometimes the Visa needs to come out so you can lay down the law. And sometimes we have to eat spam,vienna sausages, and the dollar menu so we can fund our cars. Its all the sacrifices of being a car enthusiast hahaha.

get a 3in. turbo outlet to go with the rest of the stuff, it will def help open up the exhaust side, then if i were you, i would get a fuel pump and a boost controller..you should be safe to about 14psi then..thats the cheapest way to increase the power..
