    Default More power required on low budget?

    The Rat Bastard made it back onto the track last Sunday.Its got a new stove and an S15 turbo but i taught it was lacking power,granted it was only boosting 0.5 bar but I have a HKS actuator there which should up the boost a bit.
    what else do i need to be sitting at comfortable power without raping my wallet,i dont want cams,power fc etc etc just jet??
    Cheers

    What mods have you already on it?

    If for an example it is a standard s15 engine/turbo,

    1) decent air filter

    2) free flowing exhaust/decat/downpipe

    3) FMIC (this will raise boost slightly)

    4) Fuel pump ( sometimes with the extra airlow the fuel isnt getting delivered upto speed on an old pump)

    5) Mappable ECU, the s15 ball bearing turbos with the above mods are good for around 300bhp

    Its just a standard SR20 wit an S15 turbo.
    I forget the make of filter thats on it but it would probably no harm to chuck it out and get a new one dunno how long this ones being on for.
    the exhaust is a homemade straight decat back no middle or backbox.
    Im told its a GTR fmic on it,not sure.
    I must check what fuel pump is in it,I know its loud when ignition is turned on but i suppose all pumps do that.
    what fuel pump would i be better getting?

    You should have a good bit of poke with that spec man? well able for spinning up 2nd, third at a push it might just step out?

    A GTR pump or a walbro should do the job if your looking for a replacement.
