Default Things to do before jdm d15b vtech is install?

Well after viewing all my options I am going with the jdm d15b vtech. The company i am getting it from gives a 6 month warranty and with shipping total comes to 705. I know I should do all the belts and throw a new water pumpon, but what else should i do before install?

I am installing a new stage 1 clutch with a 10lbs flywheel. I know i will be installing a cold air intake also, 200hp axles, but what do you think of the obx intake manifold and 65 mm throttle body? What are the injector cc size and should i step them up one step with a CAI and throttle body/manifold upgrade?
And anything anyone else wants to add feel free...

Thanks for all the help and sorry if i am asking too many questions
Chris

Honestly you seem to have a pretty good handle on everything. Only other thing i can think of is now is a perfect time to clean the engine bay. good luck with your swap

I'm not sure if stepping up the injectors is needed in your case at the moment, but they would be beneficial when you continue to upgrade that motor some more.

Sounds good, what about a better fuel rail?

waste of money unless you are going for a pretty car. you won't see any real gains unless you are planning internals and/or forced induction.
