I'm going to start with a Turbo Timer (Apex'i) and FCD, who on the board makes one for cheap?



For actual power mods: Corksport downpipe and test pipe (3"), Racing Beat cat back (3") and a T2 intake (who makes one?).



Next will be a boost controller, electronic, what's a good one? Blitz?



Then I want to get an aluminum radiator, some bigger injectors (550s? Does rx7.com sell them as singles or no?), Apex'i super air fuel controller. Should I get a bigger fuel pump?

A Greddy FMIC, cover my ass now and down the road.



Then for suspension, a set of JIC FLT-A2s. That's it...for now.



Give me any suggestion on differnt parts of what I shouldn't run. I'm a n00b when it comes to rotorys.

The turbo timer is good to start with...



FCD isn't needed until you modify the exhaust....and go over stock levels of boost.



Intakes are simply a bracket and filter, check ebay for a bracket or make ur own, unless you have a series 5('89to'91)..in that case, you'll just need the filter...



Exhaust is up to you...



your car has stock 550cc injectors..720cc secondaries are the next step up, or you can get a better fuel pump...

one upgrade down! You already have 550's https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I wouldn't buy an Ebay filter, they have fallen apart before for people. The price is stupidly high, but get a K&N, Apexi, etc. If you are poor just cut the top of your air box off. It'll be almost like having a cone.

autozone air filter, $20



for suspension, go with KYB fully adjustable shocks, only $410 at k2rd.com, and they feel great. i also went with RB springs. my ride is a little stiffer than stock but handles much better with less roll.

JIC...

Any suspension that comes with a free rebuild coupon worries me.



Honestly JIC is pretty stiff, but all the used sets I see around here are blown, the Japanese auctions are loaded with them.



Not the best choice in my book.

i bought the ebay filter, then used the adapter and stuck a K&N on, JIC I am not sure, nopistons is set up as a vendor with them, but I doubt I will list the products, I have heard mixed reviews..





PS, the KYB's are $399.99 in the store, not sure if they are listed yet though.



I have the tokico 5 ways, love them, no complaints. I don't really know that the turbo timer would be my first purchase, but that's just me.

Don't waste you money on a turbo timer, spend it elsewhere in a better place. Just let you car cool down...

You beat me to it. I would leave that last when you have no more mods and some money left. Then get a turbo timer

Concerning the JICs. I know know people running them with no problems. I think they had problems with the old ones but got it worked out, at least someone told me. Ah well I'll always have my stock suspension around just incase. I want a full coil over.

i would go intake, dp, exhaust, fcd, suspension. learn to drive the cars with those mods first. after those mods, blow your load on more serious engine upgrades. turbo, fmic, ecu, injectors. thats just me. better to know your car than lose your car
