If you had $40,000 budgeted to spend on a car, and availability wasn't an issue, what would you get? Let's say for simplicity sake you spend 30 on the car and have 10 grand for aftermarket upgrades...

If you have $40,000 you could be driving a Jap spec Evo VII next month. I wish they would announce the specs on the US car so I could figure out what it will take to get it back up to 320hp? Will it just be 1500 for a programmable ECU or is there more. I'm willing to pay an extra $5,000 grand to have one now. So the question is $30,000 for an Evo VII US spec plus how much to get it back to Jap spec hp more than or less than $5,000?

I tried more boost with OEM exhaust: it doesnt work. So you need an exhaust, air filter and find a way of upping the boost to 1,4 bars at which time you will have 330 - 340 bhp. Some even get 350, depends on how lucky you are with the engine in your car.
To raise the boost to 1,4 bars, you need
either ECU
or APEX'i AVC-R (to up the boost and control it the way you want) AND APEX'i S-AFC (to avoid fuel cut from air flow sensor). ISnt that in the FAQ??
I dont think it takes more than USD 5,000 to do that.
1/4 mile on std Evo is 13s, with 1,4 bars sthg like 12,3.

Evo 7... with years of aftermarket parts/upgrades and a well known platform for performance...this would be a good choice.... well other than that a second hand corvette Z06 would be a good one too with 405hp stock and a good following of aftermarket parts too......it would be a good choice for around 40K.......add FI to the LS1 engine and hear it roar....

I haven't heard of a turbo for a S2000, but I have heard of a supercharger, its from Neuspeed. Its pretty cool, I believe pumps up the Hp to 300, but torque still suffers.
