that is a beautiful base car to start with. Really just needs rims and you're set. The right offsets are crucial as you won't be able to get this thing that low with how deep your kit is.

go for 19X9's in the mid teens and you will be laughing. eg (19x9 +15)

very jealous - but hope you enjoy washing your car, going to have your work cut out for you with black!

..dont remind me. :glare:

guys hoping you could give me some advice on a fuel pump. I'm not looking to rack up huge numbers or anything, but would like to adjust power for street/daily use.

a few people have recommended the Deatschwerks 300LPH In-Tank Fuel Pump which is appealing because its e85/ethanol compatible

..or Walbro Fuel Pump GSS342 which does less LPH (255), but not sure if e85 compatible.. could someone confirm? Would it be necessary/beneficial to get the larger Deatschwerks?

so far ive collected 660cc injectors, z32 AFM, boost controller..

Cheers!

My power goal is around 250+.. but... thats not set in concrete. :no:

There is an exhaust system installed, not 100% where it begins (turbo/dump back).. and will most likely get some new cats in there too. I assume there are compliance cats in there. The down-sides of living away from home.. no tools. :yucky: Any suggestions on an exhaust system?

I have a z32 AFM in my hands, and currently awaiting 660cc injectors, boost controller to arrive. I'm still on the search for a FMIC.

I'd like to get most of these in my possession and install it all at once.

Then top it all off with nistune.

As for turbo, I think I might just run the stock turbo for awhile.. then look into getting it rebuilt.. OR a new larger one? ohhhh.. the decisions...

How does that all sound? Feel free to suggest anything..

if you're keeping the stock turbo - the injectors, fuel pump, Z32 etc are not needed.

Stock turbo will run 12psi safely, or 14psi for an unknown amount of time before throwing a wheel.

12psi will get you around 200-210rwkw - if you want any higher than that then you need to upgrade the turbo (hi-flow, GT30, TR43) at which point (but not before) all those other bits will become useful.

if i were you i'd take care of your plugs, coils (if needed), get a high quality oil in, do your exhaust properly, FMIC, get a nistune ecu in, an EBC and the 12V+ mod to your stock fuel pump and get it tuned by a pro - that will net you 200rkw.

if you want any more power than that, its new turbo time - and then you can throw on all thoese other bits you have. you're wasting your time and a tune putting them in before you have a turbo that can supply enough air to take advantage.

EDIT: for your FMIC, check out just jap and their cooling pro turn flow kits.

dont know what i'm looking at here? weeping rear rocker cover?? v-common..... try screw it down tighter for a quick fix - otherwise it's a pretty simple job to remove and replace.

wait.. that picture wasnt the one i was supposed to upload. lol.. the picture i was supposed to upload was a crack in the front lip..

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
