Koyo-Greddy lots of goodies

Well I dropped some cash down today for some parts i will need after the rebuild.
First I got a nice Greddy EBC cuz greddy is the choice of Ricers everywhere.

My old clutch was almost toast (hehe only 6K miles on it). So i got this one, hopefully it should stand up to the beating.

And since my plastic radiator endtanks look like melted poop...
I ordered this aluminum one! (im not sure if thats the actual one or not, but only KOYO limk i could find...)


Anyway the engine is uh going semi-smooth. Rear rotor housing is beind resurfaced. Im not going to go with 3mm apex seals;....i think...i really dont know what is best at this point because I keep hearing different things from different people.
So everything is kind of on a limbo untill i decide...

Oh yea also got the 820injectors in.

nice, looks like you are doing well. when do you hope ot have it all finished. i am doing a turbo conversion with a stage III street port, T-72 turbo. I personally decided to go with the adkins 3mm cryo hardened seals. if you need a set let me know. my mechanic gets them. you cant get them off their site.

im hoping to have the ported engine back together and running within two weeks.
Still deciding on the apex seals and thats whats really hurting me

Tho i've heard nothing but good about cryo treated anything....i think i might give it a try.


And i still cant decide If I should go with a FMIC first or standalone computer w/upgraded turbo?
Both will be done im just not sure which to do in what order

why not go standalone first? with the motor already out of the bay, get the standalone ready and install it now.

Just to let you know that if they dont have the Koyo in stock, it'll be a few weeks at least. Koyos are backordered til mid-end August.

You look like you got everything covered pretty well.

Thanks guys!
I know a person who has the koyo rad or he can get it in a couple of days so im not too worried about it.

Fastcars: I already had the RB turboback, love it. Not loud at all when driving, but it makes a nice noize when you get on the gas

And I think im going to go with the standalone first, just for safety reasons...

Thats because they're both ACT clutches. His old one (STREET) is good for 443 foot-pounds of torque while the new one (RACE) is good for 567 foot-pounds of torque. I'm surprised the race clutch is 5 bucks cheaper.
