Ok, I am going to hopefully pick up my T78 kit and other necessities, and was wondering what all I need. All my car has right now is a apex N1 exhaust and apex turbo timer.



Here is what I am planning on gettin:



1. T78 kit

2. rotormotorsports secondary fuel rail and 1600cc injectors

3. oil cooler (mine is busted)



Now on the way is an IC and radiator stuff, what else do I need??? I was thinking Haltech, but dont know which fuel management sys to go with. I was thinkin bout replacing primary injectors, but cant find ANY info on that, where do I get em??? what size should i get??? Do i NEED to upgrade the pump too??? Does the T78 kit come with a downpipe??? Should I do a downpipe???



Thanx for the help, I want to do this right,



Ben

The kit will come with a downpipe. A standlone ECU will take a bit of time for installation if you're not familiar with it. What fuel pump are you using?

Yea, you'll need a good fuel pump or 2 depending on how much power you want. You'll need a ignition box if you want upper 300rwhp or so....if you'r wanting 450+ I'd replace the coils too. You'll need the computer of choice. You'll need a clutch. You'll need a upgraded bov. You should send you stock 850's to RC and have them flow tested and cleaned to make sure they are good then use them in the pri rail. You'll need a boost controler or some kind, I'd just use a manual one. You'll need a mp or hiflow cat to get you exhaust flowing good for a T78. Depending on what rotory shops you have there with a dyno you might need a wideband and egt gauge as well as a boost gauge(you didnt list one). If you have a rotory shop there that has tuned a lot of single turbo 3rd gens and you can trust them you might not need the wb and egt but if not you'll definatly need them.



Man there is a lot of **** you'll need, I'll try to think of more later

U will need an ECU (Power FC/Haltech). Boost controller (profec B) Fuel pump. Supra pump is good for around 500hp. Fuel pressure riser and a few of the obvious things like gauges and ect. And that's the basics to get you started. 4 spark use and HKS Twin power inanition and a set of NGK race plugs 105 do a good at more then 14psi. Hope U have deep pockets
