My set up goes as followed:s13 coupes13 blacktop srs15 turbogreddy vspl fmkoyo radiater480swalbaro fpaltima fans3inch all the way back18psi and dyno tuned

Next step is exhuast manifold and BC cams but I cannot find any GOOD reviews on the BC cams and not sure on what manifold to go with. Anyone running a simliar set up with some different mods? Any input is appreciated.

It depends on what you're after. I'm assuming you want a good street set up since you opted for the S15 turbo. I would get a turbo elbow, stick with stock cams, and go with a Tomei expreme manifold(or a Ichiba ver II manifold if you're on a budget). Response is your friend in a street car.

yup pretty much street, cams to open up top end speed and manifold to help flow for quicker acceleration.

You want cams that'll work with your turbo and help you get the most out of your turbo. Since your turbo is made for mainly mid range, you'll want to stick with stock or at most 256 cams. There are different types of manifolds out there. I like Tomei's idea of using the shortest distance to the turbine for quickest spool up time.

i had 264s and i loved them for street. I would for sure go 264s if i were you. I had both bc and jwt s4s. the s4s loped alot more and felt a lil betta but for the price difference i would just stick with bcs, they get the job done.

HKS cams are what i use most commonly in my SR jobs. I personally have a set of 264/272's in my car. As for manifolds - I suggest Peak Boost - they are good people over there and offer a quality product. A good tune is probably most important however. Have you considered a management program like Power FC ?Good Luck

one thing to keep in mind is that im not trying to exceed the 400hp limit or get to close to it since the reliability(in my opinion) would decrease since i would be pushing the motor. but then again thats just me using common sense. so im shooting for about 350. i have a ROM tune by XAT Racing, which i would get it re-tuned. im guessign you upgraded the valve springs, what did you go with on your personal set up? im pretty much trying to have a low 12 street car

You dont want 350whp with a gt28r unless its ported n maybe pollished yummy ! Thats what I was thinking about dooing! Max efficiency is 18.5 psi and 330 whp! Some say 310whp some say 320whp and some say 330whp! I hit 20psi every now and again. I know it wont last forever @ 20psi but I plan to go gt2871r 64 a/r by next year with a beefed up head! Ive herd of sr's stock bottom end's holding 550whp ! So I think 400 whp would still be reliable as long as your not a ledfoot at every stop light and everywhere you go!

Is 350 whp even possible with the S15 turbo. I think the S15 turbo would be way out of it's efficiency range before it can flow enough for 350 whp. I have a HKS GT2530 and it's rated for low 300 whp max. Unless you're planning on upgrading that S15 turbo.

yea i dont know what i was thinking with the little t28...well im deciding to pretty much go with a t3t4 57 trim so im most likely going to make another thread but lots of good info guys thanks. and the 2871r is ****ing beautiful, i got a friend who has one on his KA-T and it moves very fast to say the least
