Anyone do this? How’d you like it? Thinking of the next step with Roreri.

I have the ct16 turbo installed and I have asked Aaron at ATS for a quote on all the other work and parts to make flex fuel 400bhp happen.Anyone do this? How’d you like it? Thinking of the next step with Roreri.

400hp at the crank would be a good number. In the end you put the parts on and get what you get. But ATS talks about 400bhp with ethanol and a CT16 being the deal.How much power are you looking for?
Did your clutch get upgraded when the swap was done?
Deadass, I think a stroker would be more worth the money. Me and my boss have been playing around with 400 awhp on my car and how to get there. He said a good GT3071R and stroker would be easy 400hp with tune.Absolutely agreed on the cost of putting a new plant in it. It’s one of those mad money ideas.
Also agreed on the importance of having a local tuner able to work on the ECUMaster unit.

If you really want to play with the idea of 400hp I can talk detes with Cole and see what he would think would be the best.
I would agree. The 3071r is a lovely little turbo, but it's getting a bit old. The extra money for the new "G" series from Garrett is well worth it. A GT3582R can do 500+hp on a 3S, and the new G25-550 can make the same power while being two "Garrett sizes" smaller. At 400hp you should start thinking of building the motor depending on the use case, but if the funds aren't there for a stroker that's ok. If one of the G25 turbos were used they spool so well comparatively that you don't need the extra 0.2L to get things moving. Always stroke it if you can (The new G25-550 would be a better option than the 3071r for that power level. You'll have way quicker spool (similar to stock) and be right there in the sweet spot. For flex fuel I would just run a Link G4+ with a flex fuel sensor and FIC injectors of choice w/ top feed rail. Link is a dang good option with remote tuners. Between data log emailing and TeamViewer you can pick whoever you want to tune it anywhere in the world.
Im an HKS turbo guy. My boss and aaron at ATS both say the old 3071r is tried and true, IMO it's old and too expensive for what it is. Also I think its a little too big for our cars as 400hp + lightened chassis is in like gt3 car range of power. I'm trying to get my hands on the GTIII-RS cause its has like no lag.I would agree.

I've heard cams are typically not needed under 450 and moreover can ruin anything below power curve. I was looking at the HKS 272 or GSC 274s. I'm also trying to get something that has no lag as my current motorsports/driving style prioritizes grip though braking and accelerating, so less lag>top endMonachopsis: grab a ctxona and do cams. I hit 382 awhp on E10 pump gas. E85 is gonna crush the 400 limit whenever I get around to upgrading my fuel feed lines.
The piggyback for LINK G4X has been recommended to me by everyone with big money cars. I also know a drift guy sponsored by them that may be able to get discounts. He's a local (Csprings). As far as tuners for you and me @Roreri we a little short on 3sgte/toyota tuners. I was asking around for a little. From what I heard though a LINK ECU specialist can remote and road tune though.Roreri: E85 will get you close to a 100 extra hp. You WILL end up going down the rabbit hole of "are all my fuel components e85-safe though.
IMO the tune is the most important part. I'm seconding CelicaGT4 here in pushing the Link EMS. It has great support and a lot of tuners are familiar with it. It is the EMS I push all my 3s friends towards. It's similar to my Haltech elite1500 but it is more affordable to adapt to, will be easier to find a tuner, and you'll have a better time getting answers to your questions ( see any link forum post from AdamW, he is technical AND helpful).
Just... get an ems that the tuner you TRUST is comfortable with/prefers.

^ if you find a good remote tuner please share their info. I feel like at some point moving on from the stock EMS is kinda inevitable for me
