My car is down at a local shop getting the sr20det installed, and i am starting to look at power upgrades for it. Here is what i am having installed with the motor:

- Greddy turbo extension

- 5zigen 3" dp

- HKS 85mm Catback

- Exedy stage2 3 puck sprung clutch w/ pressure plate

- Cusco flywheel

- Nismo motor and trans mounts

The owner of the shop that is installing the motor said that he really likes the HKS turbo upgrade, and that it makes really good power and is pretty fast spooling. Anyone have any experience with these?

My goal is to have some really good power on the street and to be at about the 300+hp range, while still being able to hit the canyons.

I also plan on getting some tomei cams, and other various head parts such as gasket, rocker arm stoppers, valve springs, etc..

if someone could give me a good 300-350hp setup parts list, it would be greatly appreciated. Also any comments on the HKS turbo kit would be awesome.

i would suggest building the engine before slapping a turbo upgrade onto the motor. if you want to go ahead and top your T-25 out, get the HKS adjustable wastegate actuator and up your boost.

Finish your exhaust, clutch, and headwork before slapping a big turbo on the motor. The stock bottom end is strong enough to support the power you're looking at.
