You wont hit 250whp in a NA VE without spending about 5k in mods, internals etc. assuming you do it all yourself. Just the header i have was $800.
$5K in mods are you crazy? A basic chipped ecu, subaru sti injectors, N62 maf, used T28 kit off the forum, intercooler and piping and front mount used off the forum, 3" exhaust and muffler all used off the forum and a decent clutch will be nowhere close to $5K dude you dont have to build a VE to make and safely run 300+whp
Think you missed where Storm said NA VE..

Yes thank you. I was referring to staying N/A and trying to make 250WHP in SR20VE. It's relatively easy to make 200-210WHP but that extra 40 to make 250whp will not be easy.
Let's see (and this doesn't include the VE motor itself which is usually what, $800?)
Just the bolt on parts alone, here's what I have that made 206WHP in my VE:
N1 cams/valve springs = $700ish
Good header = $800-$1,000
3" exhaust and remove the cat if you can = $400-$600
Intake, cold air/warm air, whatever = $100-$200
Lightweight flywheel, pressure plate and clutch = $600
ECU tune = ??
Oil catch can = $100?
G-spec pulleys = $200
Thermal intake spacers = $ forget how much
N60 MAF = $60
MSD ignition box = $150
That's just the basics, and it's like $4k, not including the SR20VE motor, and not including stuff like eliminating power steering and getting the Sentra trim model "E" rack etc, port and polishing the head etc. To get to 250WHP, you're talking that amount all over again, or close to it.
Turbo is a whole different game.
Yes I absolutely missed where you said $5K plus to make 250+whp staying NA my apologies storm I was rushing through reading your post on my phone at work lol.
