So I'm trying to figure out what I want to buy next for my FD. I am in the middle of building the car up and wanting to know what the next step is. Phase 1 is all engine/performance setup. I will be starting phase 2 (wheels, exterior modifications) as my next phase but for now, let's keep it to suggestions for phase 1. Here is what I have so far. I know my next step is going to upgrade my fuel system. Running 850cc/1600cc injectors. Any good/well proven systems out there?

2 Rotor Streetported 3mm Engine
Unorthodox Pulley Set
Ceramic Coated A-Spec 500R T4 Turbo
Ceramic Coated A-Spec Stainless Manifold
Ceramic Coated Upper and Lower Intake Manifolds
Greddy Type-RS BOV
Tial 44mm Wastegate
RE-A Dual-Tip Cat-Back Exhaust System
Ceramic Coated A-Spec Down Pipe
Ceramic Coated A-Spec Mid Pipe
RX-7Store V-Mount Intercooler Kit + Modified KOYO Radiator
Coolingmist Trunk mount water/meth injection kit
Apexi PowerFC and Commander
Greddy Throttlebody Elbow
FDNewbie Import Dual Oil Coolers w/ Black Setrab Cores
Supra TT fuel pump
550cc primary, 1300cc secondary injectors.
HKS Twin Power
Exedy Clutch/flywheel
AEM Digital UEGO Air/Fuel Wideband Gauge
AEM Digital Tru Boost Gauge/Boost Controller
AEM Digital Fuel Pressure Gauge
AEM Digital Oil Pressure Gauge
AEM Digital Oil Temperature Gauge

 

engine torque dampener wouldn't hurt. Nice looking list by the way.

 

Motor mounts?

 

How about suspension? Maybe coilovers, trailing links and arms, and tranny brace? Gotta reduce that wheel hop.

 

this is what I was thinking, or if you're still rocking the stock rims, get some QUALITY tires, I've had great success with my Potenzas, but I plan on getting the dunlop direzza z1 star specs when it's time to change.

 

ya, I would definitely do suspension first, before the body kit, because your cars gonna look weird with that huge fender gap. -cough- pureRx7 -cough-

=D

 

I don't see an ECU on your list what are you planing to run?

 

PFC is on there, a little lower than half way down, that was the first thing I checked for too and almost missed it.

 

Phase 2 is all body work, wheels and suspension. I already have springs/shocks on the car, but I'm going to be upgrading to coilover system. Bodykit I know I'll be going widebody but which setup I haven't decided yet which is why I haven't decided on the wheels either and is why this phase will come later down the line of the build.

Phase 1 is all about getting the car running in tip top shape and is what I'm concerned on doing first. When the motor is out, I will be doing motor mounts, almost forgot about those. Any suggestions on a kit?

So far the list is

Fuel system (which kit?)
Motor mounts (which kit?)

 

Contact IRP for the mounts. They get my vote.

~S~

 

sounds like a nice fd, got any current pics?

 

oil pan brace while the engine is out or you'll be kicking yourself late (I know I did)

banzai also has a poly-mount setup.

 

as far as the fuel system, this guy will serve your needs to about 650 whp

I'm also a huge fan of the burnout widebody kit, similar to stock lines, but a little more aggressive.

Is that Ultimate fuel system from rx7store missing anything that I'll need? Or is it just basically a straight bolt on complete kit. Add the new fuel rails, FPR, injectors and I'm set? Does it come with the lines already fitted with the -6AN fittings?

Looks like a pretty nice setup for just $900

 

I would PM Jason, he's the owner/operator and he's on here, he can answer your questions about it, I actually just bought a few things through him, and if I wasn't a cheap bastard and decided to buy an all new fuel system instead of piece together my own, he's deffinitely the guy I would go through. But yes, it does look like it has everything you'll need.
Here's another nifty little piece I really want, not sure how much of your turbo bits you'll have to pull off to get this on, and obviously plug two injector holes.

also while you're at it, if you do get it, there's some gold heat reflective foil that I would cover this in to help with intake temps near the turbo, or at least get an LIM blanket/shield. I don't remember who has it, but I remember seeing it in one of the more recent, and very well done build threads, I wanna say it was goodfella's, but don't quote me on that.

 

bah, POLISHED

blanket that KKM speaks:

That blanket looks very nice. Is that going to fit only the Xcessive LIM or will it fit a stock LIM too? I haven't gotten my things ceramic coated yet (only the UIM and LIM) but should I go ahead and ceramic coat them AND have the heat shields for them? I have a heatshield for the turbo already.

I'm debating if I need that Xcessive LIM vs my ceramic coating LIM. Seems a little excessive... no pun intended

 

the excessive LIM has enlarged intake ports for better flow, if you're intake is ported you can port match the excessive so you can get the best flow. Plus it looks better without all the little random vacuum passes.

 

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo low blow, my gf needs to stop spending my money so I can buy suspension :/

 

They fit both..

 

are you planning to drag race this car? urethane motor mounts will increase vibration (not as much as solid mounts though) and make your interior rattle more

 

Nah, the FD is going to be a fun weekend car and with some power

Like I said, I just want to make sure the engine is in tip top shape and don't have to worry about any kind of motor blowing while I'm driving it which is why I'm ceramic coating everything and adding water injection.
