Okay this is more of a "here's my setup...am i missing anything?" thread. I think i got it all...just want some opinions since I am going to have to take time of from work to get eveything in and tuned and i don't wanna take the time off onyl to find out i am missing parts and have to order them and wait for them to come in. Here are all the parts I have:

[x] Turbonetics T3 turbocharger
[x] Tial 38mm wastegate (.5bar spring)
[x] CNC aluminum IC piping
[x] Silicone couplers
[x] T-bolt clamps
[x] HKS BOV
[x] Oil feed
[x] Oil return
[x] Hondata S200
[x] RC 370cc fuel injectors
[x] Precision 350hp IC
[x] Spoolin log manifold
[x] Spoolin 2.5” downpipe
[x] Spoolin closed-loop dumptube
[x] GE vacuum manifold
[x] Autometer sport-comp boost gauge
[x] Autometer sport-comp oil pressure gauge
[x] NGK BCPR7ES-11


i am only going to run off the wastegate at first which will be about 7psi...so i am not expectiong more then 160-170whp...

 

looking good to me. Just make sure you know some tuners to help get to your goal. GL and post results when your done.

 

a fuel pump couldnt hurt

 

yea i might look into getting one...but i dont think it'll be necessary for now...any others?

 

Do you already have a 2.5" exhaust or bigger?

 

yes

 

charge pipes,oil restrictor,vacuum lines and T's and do u have the fitting for the oil pan where the return connects to?

 

i have the charge piping...dont have a restrictor, need vacuum lines...dont need any T's will be using my GE vacuum manifold. and i believe the fitting came with my oil line package

 

youre gonna need a clutch.

 

sorry shoulda posted...i hav an act clutch already in....also have a new headgasket timing belt, waterpump and arp's already in

 

Gas money? jk

 

so does that mean that list list looks pretty much complete? lol

 

Little off topic but will those 370cc's be enough for his setup? Like, what are the limits of those compared to the 440s or 450s people usually go for?

 

once you go turbo, something weird happens to you...you have the sudden urge to keep upping the boost and make more power i cant explain it. i would go for 550cc-750cc

 

hah yea...i have heard about that...i will probably consider looking into bigger injectors...but i was told those 370's will be good for under 200whp and since i will be running off the wastegate until i get my hands on a nice ebc they should be sufficient...i mean unless that t3 gets me to 200whp on 7psi but i doubt it?

 

i ran 370 when i had just a 12:1 fmu and stock ecu, because she wouldn't idle if they were bigger.

 

do u guys think the 370's would be fine for under 200whp?

 

FMU's suck..


i always recomend getting big ones right away.. your going to need to buy larger ones when you want more power (you will). 1000cc or bust

theyll be find for under 200..

you could always get some dsm 450s for pretty cheap.

 

well regardless of how much i will want more power (and i know i will) im starting school in september and car funds will be lowww for a while and unless i get a boost controller i will be running off the wastegate which will be 7psi so i think these 370's will be good for the time being...altho i think i will upgrade to some 550's down the road when i get some extra play money!

 

550's are such a waste.. 750's arent much more at all...

 

i have 550cc im happy but i sure 750cc will start looking good soon.

 

aright thanks for all the help... i am just awaiting the arrival of my parts from SPoolin...once those come in i will start putting it all together then bring it to get tuned...i will definetly post up some results from the dyno day

 

I'm in the same boat :D, hopefully i'll have my spoolin stuff on before college starts again this fall. Good luck on your setup and it looks like your list is pretty complete. A wideband air fuel meter wouldn't hurt though .

 

yea i ordered my spoolin manifold package back in april...i am hoping it gets here any day now...school starts for me in september...i better be done and boostin by then!
