More Power From The Charge

[seecarr11]

alright, following the examples of is200sam and mstav, i've decided to go looking for more. the charger is fun but after a year, i think i'm ready for more. I just purchased a 1G-GTE with the w58 manual (its easy to locate here, many mk3s upgraded to the JZs) but i'm leaning towards changing internals rather than a complete engine swap,cause i already have another 1g-fe-vvti laying around so i can build outside of the car before install.

the plan at this point is to get the maximum output of the charger before i go turbo so here are my questions,

what can the tranny of the 1g take before it fails,

should i use the injectors from the GTE as well to account for fuel,

is the silver box ecu enough for the pulley upgrade or do i invest in a greddy ultimate?

what other upgrades should i invest ?

car's current setup

is200 se auto

1g-fe supercharged, stock internals

trd coilovers

torsen lsd upgrade

18x8" all around

i'll be using the larger pulley that i got from mstav for now, can't remember the dia.

what can the tranny of the 1g take before it fails, - Mines running 400bhp and it's holding out just fine

should i use the injectors from the GTE as well to account for fuel, - You may as well they should direct swap and i *think* are bigger

is the silver box ecu enough for the pulley upgrade or do i invest in a greddy ultimate? - I'd invest in an Emanage Ultimate at least, though to be honest if you plan to go higher in the future i'd recommend going straight to a standalone.

what other upgrades should i invest ? - a AFR gauge if you dont already have one

Personally i'd change the whole engine, its setup for performance and power, whereas your constantly having to change things on the FE to make it handle power.

Thanks for the reply,

Good point, but i want to keep the car as close to oem for as long as possible(i like the cruise control :winky: ) I considered the engine swap, but i'd rather swap a 1j or 2j.

Also, is the auto box as strong as the manual?

In a word, No!

so i should expect the tranny to go not to long after, well i'll let you all know at what hp it breaks.

When a lad called Dave put more power through his Autobox it went around 250-260 i think, but it depends on the torque more to be honest,
