My project is a fairly cheap ~230-240 KA-T, with one caveat- not to waste $$ if I decide to upgrade (i.e. no rrfpr, tinsy turbo, etc.). My goals are to have a car I can run autocross and roadcourses with...although more of a focus on roadcourses (I've actually got a job offer (No, I'm not a good driver) to work on a road course for 10 weeks--with course time!) .
So far I have:
1.)Saab 9000 intercooler (big and skinny) --> $50
2.)18 370cc injectors (I have a homemade setup to flow test and will use the 4 best flowing ones, and sell the rest)
3.)The stock fuel pump + my NON-turbo z32 300zx fuel pump (easilly flowed enough for 200+rwhp cost around $40)...I need to see if I can run both pumps simultaneously, I will also run huge power wires to the pumps (this definitely increased available voltage/flow to my DSM).
4.)Manifold/Turbo... (prefferably topmount, but I can deal with bottom. I want a TD-05/6 18 or 20g, just because I'm more familiar with the characteristics of TD-0X turbos, maybe a T3/T4 if I can figure out wtf the garrett trim/sizing means in terms of hp/lag. If anyone can compare various trims with mitsu td-05/6 14/16/18/20g that I know(<<silent cry for help)) it would be appreciated.
5.)Fuel tuning, etc. I love S-AFC's, but prefer E-proms so I can tune timing AND fuel (ITC's are $$ and hard to find). I plan on setting my timing back around 5 deg., and just running a mesh 'ring' around the MAF (about 25% more surface area total) in a larger diameter tube, eventually going with a Z32 MAF, when I get the EPROM/S-AFC. Also colder plugs(NGK-which ones?) and a restricted oild feed line (1/6?) are my plan.
I have other plans for susp/handling, but don't want to discuss these in this thread.
**If I left anything out, or generally had some stupid idea, please LMK, and give your comments.**
