Let's assume I have about $2500-3000 to spend on my car over the winter. I already have the paint, wheels, etc... What I need is some power. I have a turbo that will support ~350 rwhp, so that's not an issue. Here's what I want to know:

What front mount and radiator would you recommend and where would you order it from?

What fuel pump? Will the run of the mill Walbro handle my fuel needs at ~12psi? :twisted:

What size injectors if I'm hoping for 320-350 at the flywheel?

I'm thinking of going with the ACT street/strip clutch. Opinions?

Apex-i SAFC or somthing else for fuel control?

Any other mods I can't live without? I'm guessing a wide band is a must, right Vosko?





If I need more money I'll have to sell the Subaru or something. j/k

The Greddy is about $800 cheaper than the HK$...always a plus in my book. If I order it in February, I'll have it by May.

The clutch I have probably won't handle an extra 50-75 hp, which is what I'm hoping to get. I don't have a lw flywheel, but I think I'd be getting an 11lb...maybe.



Where should I look for a wide-band A/F? RP has the 60mm Greddy, but it won't fit in a gauge pod. Maybe I'll have to do something custom for it.

if you hog out a regular guage pod a 60mm will fit, but what fun is that?

a light flywheel will make the car a lot better, it gets rid of that boat anchor feeling.

Yeah Ed, my TII is SICK with the RB 11lb flywheel, the ACT Xtreme plate and SS disc.



I would never go any heavier :bigthumg:



I was going to recommend Voskos idea for fuel, but remember, im pretty sure FD injectors are of different impedance than ours if you wanted the stock ecu to control them.

I can't afford a Haltech. I sure would love to have one, but I need to be realistic...unless someone wants to buy a Subaru and a mountain bike for $1200. Where would I find an F JO wideband, and can I use it without a Haltech?



FD injectors are side feed, so they won't work with a TII fuel rail, right?



Geoff...that's pretty much the exact clutch setup I want...I think you just sold me.

Haltech baby. Wait a few more weeks, the E6K is goign to be a bargain since the E11 should be hitting the market soon and all the boys will want to upgrade their e6k.
