I finally have the money to put an RB25 into my 91 hatch, but not the experience to do it myself, so I'm having a shop do it for me - but the lady who runs the shop wants to know what kind of other stuff I want. She has reccomendations but I have the final word on stuff like what size/brand for intercooler and radiator, what type of clutch, etc. Now, I allready know I need the obvious stuff (mounts, driveshaft) because I used to intend to do this myself. But I have been out of the loop on tuner stuff for the past 2 years, so I have forgotten a lot of stuff. So... What would you guys reccomend for all this "accessory" work? I know I want to get a new water pump, new belts, radiator and clutch. I am not sure whether I want to get a fuel pump, filter, and larger injectors - for this stuff I just want a little upgrade, could I just swipe some z32 parts from a junk yard or a forum or something?

why are you even skeptical about changing the fuel pump and filter?a 15 year old pump is not going to cut it on a turbo motor, especialy when the pump was designed for an na application.

At the very least go to tophatperformance.com and buy OEM nissan parts, but i dont know what kinda headroom stock parts will give you for upgrading. 240sxmotoring.com sells an ACT clutch.
