Okay, the action starts this weekend what MOD's am I missing?

Stage 2 Street Port
Oil Relief Valve 80 Psi.
K & N Air Filter
Turbo Rebuild & Port
HKS 75mm Downpipe
Turbo XS Manual Boost Controller
Larger Secondaries 720cc
Fuel Cut Defenser
Light Weight Flywheel
Remove Pulley Fan/Install Electric
Turbo Blow Off Valve TurboXS BOV Type S
Fuel Pump Upgrade

This is my list so far for my just purchased, and rebuilt 88 AE.

Also what fluids do you all recommend in the LSD?

Are the stock coils okay, or should I upgrade those?

Is there better plugs than the stock NGK's?

I will be ordering all this stuff this week, so any input would be great.

Also, any recomendations on brands to purchace would be helpfull.

Is the stock clutch going to hold all this power, or do I need to upgade that also?

Thank You

I would get a new clutch. Stay away from ACT. Get only Centerforce. I personally have neither one of these, but have heard MANY bad things about ACT. Don't forget suspension!! www.k2rd.com is having a special on KYB AGX shocks: $355 for all 4 adjustible shocks shipped to your door! Can't beat that!! Oh yeah, nice mods list!

since when are centerforce clutches good? i have heard of lots of people going through centerforce clutches in a matter of weeks, and then replacing them because they thought they just got a dud, and then having the new one burn out again, so then they go with ACT and all is well.
but if you've got money to spend, get a tilton clutch

You've got that all *** backwards. Don't touch the Centerforce, get an ACT, or if you want http://www.lourdsmusic.com/bnrsupercars/clutch86_91.htm I run a stage 3 clutch, and I can light my 225's up good on the 2-3 shift

I read your mods three times and I didn't see a ECU upgrade, or a way of tuning the 720's. How are you controlling the fuel?

By praying to the gods of BOOST! haha... I noticed that too. He really ought to get a fuel computer or some kind.

Also, you're going to want a radiator. The stock rad will not cut it in the conditions you're going to be putting that thing through with those mods.

Right on, I did not think of that. Any brand recomendations for a ECU? I am new to mod'ing a TII ... so, I have to have a ECU if I go with 720's? If I leave the stock secondaries can I get by without a ECU? I am just trying to think of my order of installation. I have to smog this thing first, then put all my Mods on.

ANy recomendations on Radiator capasity or Brand? I live in N. Cali. so it gets damn hot here in the summer. This is somthing I really don't want to neglect if I am going to need it.

Thanks Again.
