Going Single Checklist
 

So I'm going single and I just wanted to make sure I have researched everything before I get going on it.

My car is pretty much completely bone stock in the engine department except I've eliminated the AWS and the AST, plus a downpipe. I've included some pictures of my bay for more details.

EDIT: forgot to mention I have a walbro 255lph pump.

I'm looking at getting the following:

Turbo:
HKS cast T4 manifold
CompTurbo CT4-6065
Turbosmart 50mm hypergate
intake filter
Oil & water feed/return lines
Fabricate a new downpipe, intake pipe, hot side pipe
Mid-pipe
Greddy TI exhaust

Electronics:
Custom AEM series 2 ECU
New wiring harness
Sub harness for MAP, IAT, wideband, secondary temp in, EGT
AEM 3.5 bar map sensor, IAT sensor,
AEM inline wideband

Cooling:
Re-medy waterpump
Defined Autoworks V-mount kit

Items I'm not sure about:
eliminate A/C
36" belt (recommendations?)
eliminate air pump
Pineapple racing idler or Chadwick idler
block off plates (does anyone sell them in aluminum?)
new gaskets for block of plates? (is this necessary?)

am I missing anything else?

Thanks,
Josh

Fuel system... Never heard of comp turbo. Why not go with something proven like a garrett? Why eliminate the ac?

Forgot to mention that I have a walbro 255 lph that was on the car when I bought it. I'm also only looking for ~320 to 360 rwhp as I'm using it mainly for the track and want a very very flat and wide torque/power band. Will I need bigger injectors for that power level? Will the walbro be enough?

As for comp turbo, I've done a fair amount of research http://www.compturbo.com/. I agree that something like garrett is proven, however after talking to Jason at comp turbo and going over their design, manufacturing, service, technologies, and seeing their facilities (local in SoCal) I decided to give them a shot (was originally going to go with an Aspec turbo).

360k6 from autozone is the belt you need for eliminating the air pump.

If the A/C is still working and not causing any other issues, don't get rid of it. It's one of those things that a lot of guys eventually regret. "I'm sweating my balls off. Why did I get rid of the A/C again? Weight reduction, riiiight..."

My A/C's been broken for a year or so now, and I've haven't had any issues. Even when it was working and used as a DD I never used it. Plus the car is not a DD and mainly for track events so it should be ok.
