Ok, I am confused as to what to do (i'm just planning right now though). I've talked to Peter through pm's and he told me that my goal was easily reachable with the APS TT kit and APS tallboy plenum (along with some internal mods that I told him I planned about). So, right now I am open to any turbo kit as long as it will reach my goals. My goals are in my signature but just in case someone doesn't have sig.'s enabled:
450 - 550 rwhp and 450 - 550rwtq for daily driving.
Have a setting on whatever module I use to turn the psi up on the turbo system to run 650rwhp and 650rwtq for worthy runs/drag track.
Those numbers are general, there is a 30 hp range down and up for each number (i.e. 450 can be 420 or 480). So what would someone suggest for me to reach these goals? I know some turbo kits require different exhaust parts (the Turbonetics piping is weird, so i'm not sure how it would sound). I'm open to any fuel/ecu management (Motec, HKS, Greddy). I was going to get Z1 Motorsports to do the install and tuning, this depends on which turbo kit and fuel/ecu management though.
Planned internal parts:
Crower rods
JE (would have to be custom)/SGP Racing/Arias/XT pistons (really doesn't matter I guess)
Darton M.I.D. Sleeve Kit
Ferrea valves, valve springs, valve retainers (considering SGP Racing titanium valve retainers, sgp racing valves, and jwt valve springs if they are cheaper than the custom Ferrea, or if the Ferrea's aren't worth it, or maybe JUN if they come out before I get valvetrain stuff)
Tomei 264 Camshafts
SGP Racing/ARP head and main studs
Tranny:
Exedy Twin-Disc Clutch and Flywheel
considering ATS though.
B&M Racing or Topspeed short shifter
considering changing gearing, maybe lower, maybe higher
Other:
Nismo Low-Temp. Thermostat
Blitz Radiator
New Plenum (brand depends on turbo kit)
I-M-Racing Grounding Kit
Unorthodox Racing Underdrive Pulley's
NGK Iridium 1-Step Colder Spark Plugs
Samco cooling hose kit
Stillen exhaust and Unlimited Tuning (if the turbo kit will fit up to them)
I've got plenty of time, i'm hoping to get a turbo kit this winter '05 or spring '06, i'm installing rods and pistons at the same time. I'll probably have the Tomei cams before then and I know i'll have some other mods before then. Anyway, whatever help I can get is greatly appreciated as I am very confused.
I'm open to doing a custom turbo kit as well (single or twin).
