300 from 3.0
Here's my goal: 300 hp from 3.0L. I need some helping figuring out the most efficient ($/hp) way to get there. Here's where I'm starting (I'm only listing mechanical in this post, cosmetics don't mean anything if you can't back them up):
'99 Solara 5S-FE 2.2L, 5-speed, Pearl White - $5000
Custom Borla cat-back dual exhaust +10 hp?
El-cheapo ram air intake
Vogtland lowering springs, KYB GR-2 struts, shocks
TWM short shifter
K&N cone filter
'99 Solara SE 1MZ-FE 3.0L, 5-speed, Black - wrecked, $1000 (computer, motor, tranny are all good)
Here's what I think I need:
Motor/transmission/computer swap (obviously) 190 hp base
TRD Supercharger, 9 psi (duh) +50 horses?
Headers (OBX or the best value you guys can recommend) +15 horses?
Catalytic converter (??) +?
Larger injectors (HKS, Blitz?) +?
Intake (CP-E, Injen? - recommendations?)
Clutch (Competition Clutch Stage 4, 6 pad)
Fuel Management (Apexi?)
Ignition (MagneCor wires + factory?)
Look forward to your recommendations on my journey. I'll post pictures soon and get into cosmetic stuff (wheels, spacers, body, paint, etc.).
