Default 500hp VR4

Looking for a turbo upgrade package to get 500hp at the wheel for a 98 vr4. Any ideas?

http://www.dynamicracing.com/customer/home.php

http://3sxperformance.com/

These two shops should be a good start on the quest for 500hp. Both are very reputable among the 3s community and treat their customers well. Matt Monet of DynamicRacing has the fastest times for a 3s in the states.

Good luck and be ready to spend plenty of cash.

There are tons of things that I could list... but get the right turbo... make sure to turn up the fuel.. other basic upgrades like BC, Filter, Downpipe...

make sure u have plenty of gauges so u know whats going on and don't lean the **** out of the car... something to control your fuel... and with all that power you'll need a new clutch and maybe an LSD if you have a little extra cash

there is more stuff to list but those are some things u might want to look at

Oh yeah, don't worry about intercoolers and things like this, becuase the stock ones can handle plenty of power just fine. And as far as catback... just take the cat off and run straight downpipe...

Have fun and good luck... you have plenty of work ahead of you...

I am having a guy up here where I livem rebulid my engine and get as much out of me engine stock as possible then I having the guy do more performance upgrades and **** to my car itself, but he may have to make some of the parts for my gt.. maybe thats what you have to do, have someone make everything you want for the car... he is making my turbo my intake and customizing my whole car, it is expensive but worth it and you have a one of a kind vehicle...

If your going 500 h.p, then im assuming your def. wanting to race the hell out of it! lol; the only thing, and i hate to be a contradicting factor on these forums, cuz it psises everyone off; but when u go bigger turbos, and upgrades for a big h.p gain, your def. going to want to upgrade your interooler. You'd be surprised how much power is lossed after a run or two, your sotck intercoolers wont work as hard. My buddy has a Z TwinTurbo; stage w/e the hell it is, and after 3 dyno pulls he went from 1st- 415 h.p, 2nd- 378; 3rd- all the way down to 320; If your stock intercooler cant keep up, your gonna lose alotta power later in the game; but then again with 500 h.p im sure it wont matter much...lol good luck with your project

A 500hp 3000gt could have no body panels or anything and still be my dream car. Not sure if it would still be a 3s without them though.....

hey all of his ideas are great except for the intercoolers, they may be able to hold alot but it would be a good idea to upgrade them, my friend didn't and now he is stuck with cool down problems and all sots of other things, he losses mad horsepower and torque which was shown by his dyno. It's up to you but eventually you will have the same problem.
