im not a newb by any means just wanting others feedback

 

get bigger injectors!! and that tranny has some short short gearing for turbo

and if 2500 is all you've spend, you've got a LONG way to go

and i wouldn't get the msd ****... if your gonna get aftermarket ignition go with the good ****!

 

M & W ignition!

 

yes, get M&W ignition, i can't remember what coil was best to use with it, think it was crane

you ballin' now Jose ?

 

nope ill pm u

 

if your buying springs and retainers why not get better cams? if it were me i would get oem axles with a lifetime warranty. from the size of your injectors im guessing your shooting for around 400hp?

 

what wrong with short gear ratios. Its better than long gear.

 

theirs a debate that short gears on a high hp car will have traction problems, but i think any high horse power FWD will have traction problems period.

 

oem headgasket

too short of gearing is not always good.... anything that will help traction is good

 

i havnt had a problem with MSD in 5 years or maybe 6 years.

 

looks good so far.........If I were you I would probably get bigger injectors

 

I had same problem with injectors... got the 750s with the same turbo. Need to pick up some 1000s now.

 

a few things i noticed....

i would suggest oem head gasket
stock axles
unless you are shooting for more than 500whp i would use a gt30r
if you are shooting for 400-500whp 880cc injectors, anything more than that 1000cc injectors
500 or less get the competition stage5 clutch, more than 500 get a twin disk

what engine management do you plan on running?

what are your power goals, further suggestions could be made

Ah, the final voice of reasonable thought on such a subject.
