fanboy nut swingers? was that directed at me?

[theronin]

then yes it was directed at me! Thank you!

Fuel management will be taken care of by sending my computer to JWT and them tuning that ****...easy enough. That list is in that order because of the invoices i was referring to...no, i don't think the turbo timer was my coolest purchase! The turbo is pure hotness.

WTF is a fanboy nut swinger any way?

Like I said before- in a perfect world your car is going to recieve the SR and all this crap and custom ECU and when you turn the key for the first time it will instantly idle great and make 350hp to the wheels and cook you dinner. But in the real world- you're introducing buttloads of variables which is going to lead to a big headache.

You are going to have a huge headache on your hands. A stock SR is awsome and runs great. Then I started modding....what a fvcking pain in the a$$. Every mod took me at least a couple of days to work out the bugs (except the idiot boy mods). But what helped me is that I knew what was causing the issue. You will have a buttload of mods to sort through to find what is giving you the problem. I think every swap should start with FMIC, bigger rad, gauges, BOV, exhaust, DP and that's it. These are all basic mods that won't affect drivability and give you some more power to play with. Then after all bugs are sorted start with the turbo, fuel, fuel management etc.

When something goes wrong how will you know what's causing it? Just something to think about


BTW-add a headgasket on your list of stuff to buy along with solid lifters. From what I have read over 350hp and the rocker arms like to shatter.

I am not flaming just giving you friendly advice from someone who has been there and going there. I have had my SR for over 2 years now with no major problems because I took my time and did everything with a good pace and better knowledge of what I was getting into (I drove a completely stock SR for quite some time...and loved it!



Does it get more stock then that?

[Pudula]

Head gasket was already purchased...as far as the idea to build it after it is in the car, not happening. I'm sure it'g going to be a pain in the *** to get it running nicely, but putting the parts in one by one as the engine is sitting in the engine bay is a pain in the *** too. Yea, I'm new to this, yeah I havn't done it before. I could pay someone to put the engine in but that wouldn't be much of a project, so challenges welcome, huge or tiny. I also have someone who is very knowledgable working with me so this helps. It is a learning experience, not ONLY a quest for a badass car.

wow that's a chunk of change

what's your car's suspension and brake setup?

[CoasTek240]

dont tell me you wont be able to lay your power down on a road course or even brake properly @ higherspeeds b/c u didnt pay attenttion to the real important stuff. Brakes and suspension

[popey]

If you want volks - i'm pretty sure www.projectsilvia.com carries a lot in stock(seen them in person). call and ask for robert hes a cool guy. He also carries some of the stuff you want so check out his product list too.

Currently i'm running eibach sportlines and tokico blues...they're a little loose, but very comfortable. I'm waiting for lower profile tires to decide whether to upgrade suspension. Front brakes ar 30mm z32 brakes. Stock rear brakes.
