Hello, My name is Kyle and i have had my s14 rb25 for awhile now.It never ran right so i have decided to redo this swap.

My price range is around 5k here are some of my thoughts:

I have mckinny mounts in the car and an exhaust but im looking for a 350HP DD able s14.

What i am starting with is a fresh rebuilt rb25det that was rebuilt in 2007 but has less than 3k on it since the swap. It sat for awhile which hasnt helped.

Top end/manifoldsKelford cams-900$ (hydro compatable)Stec top mount Mani-420$Isis intake manifold 400$ Q45 TB upgrade 50$ Z32 Maf -100$Total= 1870

Fuel700CC injectors 400$Fuel rail/walboro-300$Total=700

Turbo- t3/t4 with a .82 A/r- 600$ (used)New piping 200$total-800$

Electrical?Nistune- 700$??PFC-1000$?total lets say 1k

Reliablity partsN1 pumps-400$Oil cooler-100$Gasket set-200$ARP set-250$total-950$

Total build price-5520$

Is there anything you would reccomend against or in place of something else? Id like to stay under 5k to have my 350WHP Super reliable DD

I know there is alot of little things im missing. (thermostat dyno time tune)

Thanks guys for any insight or ideas that you may have. Everything not listen i have already. Exhaust EBC FMIC Gauges brakes.

P.S sorry for the unorganized novel.

You don't need arp studs, n1 pumps, fuel rail, 700cc injectors, Q45 Tb, T3/T4 turbo, cams or ex&in manifolds to make 350hp.

All you needs is a decent tune, 550cc injectors, walbro fp, Z32maf and a good t3 turbo like a gt30r.

$5k is too much to be spending for only 350whp.

So you think its overkill?

What would this setup make then?400s?

Im looking to spend 5k but want an aboslute bullet proof setup. Where nothing is being pushed close to their limit.

Walbro and 550s, Z32 Maf, FMIC, intake mani, 30r, tune = 300+ easily. Keep it simple, and you will be happier. Spend more money towards tune and saftey stuff rather than parts that wont be needed yet. Make sure you have a wideband too.
