ok, I got my stock rb25det in s14 running. What would you do with the engine having extra 2000 bucks? (clutch, suspension, exterior are done)

Turbo, fuel, management. After that, I'd personally build the head. But you'll run out of money before you finish a list even this short. Welcome to RB ownership my friend

1) stickiest tires you can afford2) Good brakes (maybe have that already)3) Real fuel management, not a piggyback

These were my best mods.

**** I love spending other peoples money!! Need to know what you want to do with it first though--drag, drift, togue, autocross, show/2F2F?Wifey said you can have that much of the tax return, eh? Argue for more.

$2k is close to enough to bolt on a bigger budget turbo kit, but not quite enough. It's enough to get all your supporting mods out of the way though. Power FC, injectors, fuel pump. FPR, Z32 AFM, money for a tune, and maybe an Ebay intercooler kit if you can stretch it that far. You'd need another grand or so on top of that to put a nice turbine kit on.

Sorry for the bad news---if you wanted cheap hp, you should have bought a Mustang

$2000 isn't going to go very far. If you haven't already, invest in the suspension and wheels/tires. OR put that money away and save it for a big turbo upgrade with supporting mods like Cjmartz2k suggested.
