HI guys I have built a few cars, but I am a Nissan Noob.

400HP 1978 Ford Mustang II

A KLZE Swap (197HP V6) 1994 Mazda 323

I just bought a 80% finished Lotus 7 Replica. It had a

8V Toyota Corrolla engine in it when I bought it. I bought a S13 SR20DET & trans to swap into it.

The stock intake and exhaust manifolds would not fit in the car so I bought An ISIS intake and ebay Top mount manifold and turbo adapter. A bottom mount turbo was not possible due to space limitations

The stock turbo had seen better days, so being as I am poor and cheap, I bought a ISIS replacement turbo for it.

*ISIS T25/T28 Replacement Turbo - Nissan SR20DET - Enjuku Racing Parts, LLC

Now for my noob questions:

ISIS claims 275HP is possible with this Turbo.

What supporting parts would a noob need to go with this turbo to get 275HP?

I have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and an Aeromotive Stealth 340 fuel pump, a Vibrant manual boost controller and a WRX intercooler so far.

Will the stock injectors, stock ECU, and stock MAF be capable of 275HP?

I am not too concerned about reaching 275HP as the car only weights 1800LBS, just thinking if it is relatively cheap and easy to get it up to 275hp out of my junk, why not?

This is a low / no budget build, so keep that in mind with your replies

What a Lotus 7 should look like (hard to tell looking at my pile of parts):
