My kit, opinions and suggestions on other items

[biggie]

I'm putting my kit together (have been planning for a few years now), just looking for any input on this setup before I start to install (hopefully within 3 months or so- broke). I've tried to learn as much as possible (had a NA 240 for over 9 years), but still pretty dumb. Just cause I'm bored at work right now, thought I'd throw this out there.

Plan right now is 8-9psi on street, ability to have 10-11psi if needed. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on this. Or experience with this items. Any input is greatly appreciated. It's been a long time on this project and I've not been too cheap on this project, but can't afford much more.

ThanksChad (aka biggie)

I'm not sure what a GT32E goes for, but the GT series are pretty pricey. Why not go with a cheaper T3/TO4E and a better manifold? Folks are making some really nice numbers on those.

Unless you already have the SSA, you might want consider something a bit better. As I recall, WDRacing had a top mount from SSA that had terrible workmanship.

Also, is the turbo timer really a necessity? Can't you just sit and chill in the car for a few minutes before you shut it off? You could put that $$$ towards something more worthwhile (ie. better manifold).

Also, why not just start out with just the JWT ECU and let it do it's thing for a while? You can get the SAFC2 later and get some dyno work in once the car is all sorted out.

The newer series of SSA manifolds are supposed to be alot better, but I have yet to see any evidence of it. The only thing I would consider is that for the price of all those electronics, you could have a standalone that would do it all in one nice package.

Yes I know a lot of people still worry about the SSA manis. A guy locally that is trusted, ran demos and did all the test work on the new versions of these manis, so I went with it. And yes all of the stuff in the first list I have already purchased.

As for the just using the JWT, I know they are programmed rich, I want to be able to tune it on the dyno with the SAFC.

And yes the GT32 was pretty expensive(~700). But basically I should have a T3/T04 that spools more like a straight T3. I was looking for less lag, don't really care as much about topend power.

And the turbo timer I'm not really sure I will get, its a toss up decision and a "nice to have". Basically I'm trying to be safe and try not to harm the engine.

I got a deal on the JWT, injectors, and MAF (all for 700). Otherwise I probably would have went for some other management.

Thanks for the input guys.
