500hp VR4

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

wow... going big. I dont know enough about the vr4. Let us know if you do, and we will post the setup as an example for others to use...

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 piss 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.

Um...they have some powerful ones haha

wow!

The biggest that I tried to fit on mine were Twin T3/T4's. But I dont know if they can reach your power goal although I am pretty sure they can.

t3's/t4's......hell yeah, its powerfull enough to pump out 500's.( w/ proper internal mods.)

Thats what I thought.

No need to upgrade the internals, they are fine.

You will need about 650-700 crank hp to get 500 to the wheels.
The questions are, do you want 500 to the wheels on pump? pump + octane booster or intake charge cooler? or on race gas?

If you want it on pump you will be looking at TD05 or T3/T4 turbos.
If your going with TD05 you will need at least EVO 3 16G's, but even then it would be tough, so I would sugest something along the lines of a twin 20G turbos.
If you want T3/T4 I would look into the DR800-DR1200 kits. You would probably need to go with the DR1000's or bigger.
If you run meth or alky with pump you can push a few more psi to make it easyer to achieve the 500whp mark.

Since pump + octance booster(propain) is pretty close to race gas Ill just include it in here.
If your looking at race gas you could stick with the TD04 housings. A few people have achieved 500whp on 13T's, 15G's, DR650's, and 368SX's.
Jumping to a TD05 or T3/T4 turbo makes this even easyer on race gas.

All supporting mods of course.

really?? wow.....good info.
