Talking Help me with my shopping list !

So I have some things going into the car this week...

1) New motor



2) GT35R Kit
3) Full Fuel System
4) Aquamist 2D

I don't want to forget anything! For instance, I need pullies and belts. Where should I get them? I want to get new ones, but I don't want anything that wears out faster than OEM. Malloy?

Also, what grade of spark plugs should I get for an AI injected motor running 18-20psi on a 35r?

I already have the bolt-ons (ignition, clutch, exhaust, IC, etc.), but its the odds and ends I'm trying not to forget. Can you guys think of anything?

Should I keep the new OEM flywheel or swap over my aluminum one?

Since you are tracking the car, do a reduction water pump pulley to decrease cavitation at high RPM and a pulley elimination kit like Chadwick or Pineapple is selling. Unless of course the reduced WP pulley causes other issues in TX - like during stop/go traffic where the WP would be spinning slower.

Keep your aluminum flywheel.

Check if your clutch is rated for the increased HP/Torque that you are running.

Test your coils and replace if necessary. Consider an HKS Twin Power. Search on a thread from Goodfellafd3s on his ignition system ramblings. He also had a good one for fuel.

Where can I read more about the reduction Wp pulley? I'm on the list for the first Single turbo pulley kit from chadwick.
Keep your aluminum flywheel.
OK

It is an ACT street/strip with HD pressure plate. Will it last at 400whp?

I have a twinpower. I'll have my shop test the coils.
Thanks!

Not sure what you have as monitoring goes, but while everything is out maybe a good time to tap your manifold for EGT sensors.

Ha, nice I taped/plugged that up. BTW if you look under/behind the water pump I initialed it in yellow, JS....probably looks like scribble. I also am responsible for the yellow markings across the thermo housing nuts since thats the only thing I added to the motor. Strange to see it elsewhere but I hope all goes well with you/it. If I could I would give you the compression #'s but they handled that in Japan we just boxed and shipped it.

^^ Haha, that's cool. I wish I had those compression numbers, but we'll know soon enough.


Oh I just realized something I need to buy; a wideband. What brand/seller would you guys recommend? I want it to look nice in the interior, not too ricey.

Cool, is that loggable?

Also, do you guys know if the AEM Tru-Boost controller will fit in the steering column pod holders?
