Nice shiny bits

[Fish]

Dan, heres a quick list and I am sure that Rich and Max will add some bit to it.

Big single turbo kit
Front mount I/C
Uprated fuel system (pump, fuel pressure regulator and injectors)
ECU (Apexi, Microtech, Motec, Haltech, etc.)

Oh and a good set of brakes so that you can stop the bloody thing!

Bloody hell, not as many bits as i thought!

Hmmmmm...all that little lot would be nice when i get my FD:)


Bye bye STi:cool

I wouldnt go that far....

You might also have to have some porting on the engine.

For a stock car add:
Bullet proof cooling system
Twin plate clutch
Mid pipe and catback
Boost controller

Probably most important though - as Dan mentioned - a decent extend port job- and dowelling if you\'re gonna push +1bar boost for the big numbers

Any thing else? Probably!

Might not be too many bits Dan - but that\'s a shed load of cash in parts and labour to fit and then TUNE the lot!!!

I can imagine that it would add up to thousands.

For all the bits (i mean everything...clutch etc) and labour, what would you be looking at.....£7k-£10k?

Maybe i should try and find one in japan thats already been done.


400+bhp, in a car thats as light as the fd3, i can imagine you would give most big bhp skylines and supras a bloody good run.

Surely..... it would be Bye Bye Evo 5


Dan!!:D

A genuine 400RWHP FD will DESTROY most of the opposition I think you\'ll find :-)

I wouldnt like to say what it would cost you turn key; could probably find £8K in parts there easily- without the engine work! There\'s a lot of stuff there.

Bit of labour to fit it all and tune it too ;-)

Would a v-mount work just as well as a front mount with a single turbo?? I\'ve always liked the v-mounts and i dont want my car overheating in traffic or to cut up the front bumper

[Robertio]

V-mount is popular in Japan, over here most people go for the front mount as it costs a lot less.

just catching up!!! been away for a whole day and miss everything (again)!!!!

Thanks for the replies

oddly enough, I\'ve just been chatting with Carl hayward about engine work required for various levels of power!

One area I have not covered as yet is the engine strengthening (dowelling) and therefore I will not be planning a massive amount of boost to start with. One bar should initially provide good results compared to what I got with the twins with one bar.

My Apexi boost controller arrived today which links into the Apexi Ecu, this is fairly plug n play so no fiddling required and no need to find room in the cockpit for another display!

In the long run, I will have to get another engine prepared, get it dowelled, maybe run ceramic seals. I also remember Jus talking about strengthening the lower block somehow......will have to speak to him.......With this I could then explore higher boost levels!

I think I\'ll be joining you Rich with having a few engines floating around

I\'m really looking forward to putting the beast in soon, I think I\'ve got almost everything - just awaiting my fishtank

There\'s plenty more I will need to sort over the coming year....more money, more money

Regards

It would be nice to see the dyno report after all that gear is on.

I tell you what, i reckon its gonna be awesome:D
