1. Holset HX35W Turbo ( This turbo uses the standard T3 flange, right?)2. Greddy Front Mount Intercooler (HERE)3. JGS Log Mainfold Kit ( Will this log mainfold kit work with the hx35w turbo)????4. 460cc Fuel Injectors (TO COME NEXT)5. Walbro 255 Fuel Pump or 300ZX TT Fuel Pump6. Apexi SAFC2 or ECU Tune with Bikirom ( which is cheaper)????7. Custom-Made 3" exhaust system (NEXT TO BE DONE)8. XTD Stage 1 Clutch Kit (HERE)

so far that is my list and I think I have pretty much straighten out.. What do you guys think?

Also I wanna run 7 psi and then spike up to 10psi, what do you guys also think what my HP and torque numbers will be?

I would reccomend ditching the SAFC or Biki idea and just getting a burnt ECU like Enthalpy or JWT. The SAFC does not control timing (which you will need for that much boost), and the Biki is still in development IIRC-- I have yet to see a running KA-T with one. You're only talking about a couple hundred dollar difference, and these ECUs have been proven to run safe tunes upwards of 500rwhp.

Are the 460cc injectors side mount? If not, you'll need a new fuel rail.

Dont forget little things like IC piping/couplers, gauges, downpipe, battery relocation (?), etc etc etc etc....

the 460cc's are top feeded, and for timing I thought it would run alright fine with 7 to 10psi if I would just use the distrubor and retard it some or no?

also if your suggestion a burnt ECU like JWT or enthalpy, what about trying to burn and chip my own ECU, I have thinking about it for a while and giving it a try since I have like 4 ecu's laying around.

thanks again and let me know on your thoughts about it.

also for gauges, I have an air/fuel raito gauge so far, and for piping and couplers, I'm gonna worry about last till I have everything hooked up and all the parts installed, and good think you reminded me about a donw-pipe, who do to for a downpipe if I use the Holset hx35w turbo??? will the JGS log mainfold kit also work for the turbo? for battery relocation I am going to re-locate it soon.

Your setup looks good so far.

You're missing things like a blow off valve, IC piping, boost gauge.

And yes, you'll be fine retarding the timing at the distributor.

crzycav86, thank you. but yeah as for blow off valve, ic piping and boost gauge, i'm gonna save for last intill I have everything else installed and hooked, up.

and Nismofly, yeah thanks for saying the dsm 450cc's i just searched again on ka-t.org and yep they are 450cc's but the down-fall is i'll have to wire in resistors with those injectors, and which I really don't feel like wiring up. So maybe I'll go with the RX-7 injectors so i don't don't wanna go wire anything up.

and for Crzycav86, that's good that I can retard the timing the some, thanks for chiming in and making sure I was right about that, but how much far do I retard the timing?

Software is functional, but always being upgraded. My car has been running on a Biki board since September....
