Well I'd start with the fuel system. A larger fuel pump like a wlbro 255 or even a 300zx fuel pump. A fuel pressure regulator (Aeromotive has some good products), and some larger injectors (MK4 Supra 550cc injectors should be sufficient). Something to control the fuel like a Super AFC (fuel computer) at the least. A stronger clutch to handle the power and torque. An LSD if you want your power to make it to the ground better. Boost controller (optional). Fuel cut defencer. Better intake. Full exhaust system (3") to include a y-pipe.

I think this should put you right in the range you're looking to be in but there are some other things I would look into getting along with this type of setup to be a bit on the safe side. Like some good gauges to monitor boost, exhaust temp exc. Larger radiator for better cooling and even better intercooler. I don't think I missed anything. Let me know if I did guys.

who said anything about expensive? I highly doubt you'll get 450 from the stock twins. CT26 adapter flange from driftmotion should do the trick.

Van Deisel does have a point. That power will be easier to reach on a turbo upgrade. Single turbo or larger twins. However, if you're looking to spend the least amout of money, it's possible to reach it on stock twins.

yeah that's the point I was trying to make. You can make 400 ~450hp on stock twins. But the price is your knuckles haha, especially after having to swap stock twins again.

Is it even possible to swap out the twins with the engine in the car? The piping on the rear turbo hits the firewall :(

If you don't want to run nitrous and blow the twins up every month...

You have to go single. 60mm inducer with JDM 440cc injectors and an SAFC2. You'll be rocking 400whp all day long.
