My intentions were to buy the RB25DET from Daunttless with the installation package(downpipe, Apexi N1 exhaust, 255lph fuel pump, etc included) once I upgraded the suspension, and went to 5 lug(vs the S13's 4 lug) for better brakes. Since he also has the Silvia front end conversion I had that planned too. As for further mods, I was going to upgrade the turbo, intercooler, go to better gaskets and pistons, as money became more available. I wanted to keep a low boost until I had the engine built up(not to mention the fuel flow). I was probably gonna get a stand-alone too
Still planning on it, but losing my car and having to look for another one changed it a little.
I have high expectations
In the end I planned on having around 20k or so into the project give or take a few bucks...
Not trying to beat anybody else, just had specific goals in mind
