Got the motor in, mounted, bolted, ziptied, strapped wtf ever you wanna call it.... I'm just interested in what you all have to say about upgrades:D:Dhere's what's going on so far:

-walbro fuel pump -installed-motor/transmission mounted with mckinney mounts-ACT 6 puck clutch installed-nismo FPR -intalled-nismo thermostat (not installed cause i need to flush all the fluids pure JDM gunk)-Blitz nur spec R catback- 3" test pipe-Mckinney 3" d/p-Tein HE's on the way (being shipped)-FAL dual 12" pullers-Power enterprise mag II oil filter-autometer (boost, fuel press., oil press., water temp) gauges-installed 4 piston brakes and massive rotors i got from my clip -waiting on my harness to get back from mckinney

*NEED*-aif filter-custom d/p fabbed-misc. fluids-install SMIC and piping (for now)-custom one piece driveshaft fabbed

I know i should eventually replace my water pump... i've examined the timing belt and it looks brand new.... the car is being built for an daily driving so i'm not looking for gobs of a$$ ripping power... just enough to put the smack down on the local v8's .....

... let me know on what else would be a good idea to research or invest in as far as performance/tuning goes.....*** also... there isn't a dyno (that i'm aware of) anywhere around here so tuning is some what limited...The knowledge is appreciated fellas thanx for your help in advanced

I would advise going ahead and installing a fmic. I hated installing that stupid smic and they get heatsoaked quickly anyway.

i got my kit (with piping) from http://www.240supply.com for under 800

after that boost controller, apexi afc(or similar), wideband (or have it tuned at a shop that has one)

stock turbo is prone to explode above 14psi, so if you want more power than that, you will have to get another turbo.

nice list of items... maybe upgrade oil pump and get an external oil cooler? but if you're not changing the timing belt/water pump, you prolly won't be changing the oil pump. good luck w/ the setup... sounds like you have most things covered
