what kind of power gains should i expect out of getting my turbo ported and buying a better flowing intake. i know i hae to get a new fuel map and injectors (maybe i have a 2005 so they come with the stage 1 injectors) and i know about all the parts i should add like wastegate,and etc. but with a new intake and ported turbo with a hks bov what should i expect?

 

It sort of hard to tell what gains you would get each car is different. But I have to ask why would you go with a ported turbo at this time? People have ran their stock air intake systems on ported turbo's. There's only a little gain of having a aftermarket intake but not much.

For more information go to SRTforums.com there's people there with ported turbo's and so fourth. Everyone has different setups hence why its hard to give you any numbers. The only way you can tell for yourself is by dynoing your car as it sits right now and dynoing it after a ported turbo and intake system.

I don't quite understand what you mean by "new fuel map".

 

by new fuel map i mean i intend on buying the portfuel mapper by hahns racing,not intending on it being a certain part on every car, just the name of a certain type of part by hahns. idk i just really wanted to see what the stock turbo was capable of. i have in fact checke dout srtforums and it was helpful. i was just viewing some other opinions. also what psi do you think i could feed enough fuel to my engine safely with just the stock 05 (stage 1) injectors.

 

Well if you have a Stage 0 PCM I wouldn't recommend going past 15psi, you start going past 15psi and you'll throw overboost codes and can hurt the performance of the car. I got tired of that so I got Stage 1 and with my current mods I'm running rich as can be but I'm boosting at 17psi. I was told with my mods 17.5-18 would be the max. I also heard boosting past 20psi isn't effecient on the stock turbo.

Forget the portfueler there's other routes you can go with. There's routes you can take, you just need to decide what your power goals are and just see what mods people have that have reach those goals. Easiest way to go, you want to buy things once not twice.

 

Dude, you've got a lot of reading to do. Like white said....go to srtforums.com and begin your quest for some decent knowledge.

Example.... If you bought the portfueler from hahn, why not go with their turbo 16g or 20g while you were at it. You wouldn't need a over 1,000 dollar portfueler for your modified turbo. Good Luck bro in whatever you do.

 

Agree, the PORKfueler as its been called by Eclipse/Talon 420a owners is not necessary... actually none of the Hahn parts are necessary since SRT-4's have a good wide range of aftermarket parts available. But if you want to go with HRC (Hahn Racecraft) then go for it. There's just better cost efficient parts out there that will show fourth a lot better for less money then any of those, what I find expensive, HRC parts. Look at power but also look at value... also look at what people spend to get to where they are at. I've only seen a few SRT-4 owners go with a HRC turbo and by few, I mean few. There's other options, plenty of other options. You just need to set a power goal and start researching.

 

i do have a power goal of 350 fwhp. i have been looking at modernperformance parts and like what i see for prices and gain. i am lookin into the turbo xs bov kit. it comes with turbo xs xfl bov,adaptor kit, and a higher quality wastegate acutator,and a boost controller. i know these are the first things to put into my car to start the build up for now and the kit only cost 560 or something like that. how does that sound? is that a decent kit or should i look elsewhere. i have heard nothing but good things about modern performance and the parts in the kit.

 

the real goal for me is to get out of the high 13's and into the low 13 to high 12 sec range with as little money spent as possible. i know it takes money to do so but i like to find deals and i am just started to really get into my srt-4. i have had i for about a year now. what turbo do you guys suggest or think is a good setup for my goals.

Also you need to work on suspension and what not for traction. Do you have motor mount inserts or solid motor mounts? Do you have solid tranny mount or tranny inserts? If not you need either or... I went with the inserts. You don't want to run the car hard with stock mounts... I've heard stories. So get either or... the inserts which go into the stock mounts or solid mounts which replace the stock mounts. The inserts/solid mounts help with traction but for the most part loss of traction we all have to deal with... we are FWD.

BTW, you don't really need a boost controller. The AGP wastegate and PTP/Kinetic/SlowBoyRacing and a few others are adjustable. Meaning they have an adjustable wastegate arm in which you can raise/lower your boost and set your boost that way. So really no need for a boost controller.

Also stay away from kits unless they are beneficial. If you have an HKS bov already I don't see why you would get an TurboXS RFL bov. I understand bov's vary and the sound as well, etc. but its not needed at this time especially when you already have an aftermarket bov. So the kit you mentioned is a waste of money in my opinion.

 

i wouldnt be able to afford both the portfueler and the turbo kit. i can however afford the portfueler and a ported intake and turbo. but recent research has turned me away from hahns due to price vs hp/trq gains. i have seen the light and my wallet has seen the light of modernperformance.com and the slightly more expensive turboneonstore
