#8076, "RE: 1G Head VS 2G Head differences, which is better for port/polish?" In response to In response to 16 Aug-18-05 06:59 AM by BMPDirk
*Evo 3 o2 housing* - Flange to DP is a slightly different angle than 1g/2g o2 housings...so you might have fitment issues.
*Apex'i S-AFC II* - I would skip this and get DSMLink. Who cares if you've always wanted it, you want the best not "cool" lcd screen.
*Apex'i AVC-R* - waste of money imo. Get a MBC. If you really want a EBC, the Greddy Profec Type S is good.
*HRC side-mount or equal* - 500 bucks for a SMIC isn't worth it. If you can get it used for a decent price, go for it. However, local guy here heat soaked his HRC SMIC on the dyno with a big16g. Get a HRC FMIC.
*3" GM MAF and MAF-T* - You have a 2g, so you dont need the 3"GM MAF unless you are going for serious power. Bov's are loud enough recirculated.
*HKS SSQ bov* - Waste of money imo. 1g bov is great.
*Timing Belt and balance belt (maybe)* - Maybe? If you are doing the head gasket, it would be wise to replace the timing belt and balance belt...or eliminate the balance belt all together with the eliminator kit.
*240-ish HP when it rolls into my garage, and 400-ish HP (hopefully) when she rolls out of it, do you guys agree?* - No way you have 240whp with the t25. I think you're crazy if you think you can get 400ish whp out of the Evo3. I think with a good tune, you will be between 270whp-300whp @20psi-22psi or so.
*Also, I think I will be at the line where I can run the HP safely (boost controlled and on pump gas) without breaking my bottom end* - That depends on your tune....but at "400hpish", i dont think your bottem end will last long, and i definetly wouldnt say its "safe". To make 400hp on the Evo3 you are going to have to be pushing like 27-30psi with ALOT of tuning. 400whp can be done with this turbo, but not many have done it.
