advice #1 - dont' get RCs, they suck

advice #2 - isn't the sc34 pretty outdated? unless i'm wrong, that's jouranl/non-billet, right? i'd recommend spending a little extra and getting a newer billet or bb turbo

just going going to get a walbro 255 fuel pump, it should be sufficient enough, dont think ill need a adjustable fpr. ID's are definetely better but trying to work on a budget so somethings i dont know about just yet

i've had rcs. they idle like **** and have very poor daily driving performance compared to OEM and bosch injectors. they're so bad that numerous tuners in my area won't even tune them anymore.

Ive heard the ID's are ****ing amazing and they even pick up good whp over an RC just from swapping them. going with pump 93 octane. Its just my summer daily, gonna get a pos beater for winter or something. Just fed up with mustangs, subarus and so forth so figure this would help. Plus i need to beat a friends talon this year. I know 300 is limit on stock block atleast for longevity. so 275 i figure should be enough.

Yes the sc34 is a little outdated but i cant be buyin billet wheel or ballbearing **** unless i really find deals on these things

my personal tuner is miller from NRG tech, aka one of the best shop owners/tuners in the country. he wouldn't touch my car until i swapped out for IDs

my only thought is if that .6 bar spring and that turbo is going to get you to 275-300whp. i remember seeing it happen on a jdm itr but that motor has better cams and another point of compression

so its more his prefferance than yours that made you buy them thats nice.

Miller is one of the pioneers of the sport and all, but it should be your preferance to run what you can afford and not what he says he will tune or not.

just my .2 cents

now with that being said i wish i was closed because ide go to him for tuning also lol

for your power goals your setup is fine. you dont need anything fancy especially if youre trying to save money.

The turbo isnt necessarily "outdated". theres just a lot of stuff coming out right now that performs well. however all this fancy stuff costs a pretty penny.

I think people are forgetting that these turbos and your run of the mill garret "57" trim, still get the job done and dont hurt the bank. LOL @ those who buy a bb billet wheel precision and then have no money for any other quality parts like a wideband, or decent set of gauges/bov/wg/injectors etc.

The only thing I can see here is why run the blox A cams? Stock gsr cams will be more than fine. I dont know if you have to upgrade your head in order to run those cams, but save yourself some money and run stock.

As far as injectors go, RC isnt a bad company. In fact, they were probably the best company for injectors out there before bosch style ones came out. in this case, I recommend the bosch style injectors. Great bang for the buck.

This is a pic of the manifold i just got today








Only cause of concern is this, Im told it holds wg just fine, having it verified tomorrow



I run an AEM wideband as it is, Its all wired up and been in the car quite some time now, never had issues with it. The reason i have Blox A's in the car is i got them for a good price new when i had to headgasket done. Figured why the hell not put ARP's and cams in since heads off anyway. Couldnt afford to port it though. And these cams work just fine on factory valvetrain its like an itr cam thats why i got them. Im posting pics as we speak so you can see some things.

I have stri boost and oil pressure gauges and i do like them. just havent hooked up a sandwich plate yet to the car. but boost gauge works just great.

Im picking up a Tial or Precision wg, i dont see a point in turbosmart(****in garbage imo but thats my opinion) or any knock off ebay bullshit.

Because i cna get rc750s for dam near free it seems, gettin them half price if i want them. And ID's flow so well you can get a 1000 to flow just the same as a 725 and there the same price. So why not?
