i want to make around 475-500whp when its all said and done. (with practice driving under lower boost settings of course) it will be a street/strip setup. i am doing what mindless said and run a bigger turbo but less boost, just dont know what trim to run. not sure how much i wanna spend yet. just looking to get ideas. ---

475-500 on race gas?, 475-500 on pump will take a very very efficient motor/good sized turbo for a cheap all around good turbo the t3t04e 60 trim with stage 5 wheel and .63ar is great or if you want more top end you can get it with a .82ar that would be good for 400 on pump sc61 is a bit bigger but will put out more power with more lag of course and is a little bit more then there are the gt series ($$$$) 3076r is great and would get you close to your goals on pump gas with awesome spool 3582r is a bit bigger and will get you there with less boost and more lag also bw turbo are great, s258 would suite your needs but are about same price as the garret i have similar goals, but i want near 500whp on pump gas, i also have a 2.0L with built head etc etc and as of now im going with the 30r as its one of the best “street” turbos you can buy ---

but then someone mentioned run a bigger turbo and less boost to make the same HP numbers. i originally wanted to put the garrett t3t4 .63 trim on and run like 18-20lbs. good idea? ---

You do realize that that much power will be completely useless on the street right. The best year i had with my car was at 300whp. Fast, easy to hold on to, beat the piss out of it all day with no problems. Plus it was cheap to do. Once you start making big power everything becomes a chore. You will start shitting trannys clutch is going to be so stiff you wont want to drive the car and you will be burning up tires fast. Just something to think about since you are so budget minded. ---

> [@justa4door](#): > > start at 250 and in a year go to 300-325 … Hollyy fuckk. Talk about baby steps. I don’t think he has to go that extreme…He drove my 400hp honda np and that was the 1st time he had ever driven a car with that much power. And that was also with out lsd… Id say start at around 300 minimum, and no more than 400 tops just because it is going to be EXTREMELY lighter than my car is… Then work your way up from there. At 300wheel it will prolly feel almost like mine at 400. But i do agree with bill. 400-500 Is A TUN of power for the street. Specially in a light civic.
