So im currently deployed and about to start dumping money into the FD. Its basically stock right now. I have a Huge list of things that i plan on putting in the car in the next few years. I just got everything to redo the vacuum line system in the car (new silicone hoses,one way air valves, solenoids, and a new rats nest) and I just purchased a Apexi Power fc from a board member. Heres where im basically going to start from.

Fluidyne Radiator and new Mishimoto Coolant hose
Fighters Garage AST
Fighters Garage CAI
New Magnecor 10mm Wires, new NGK plugs, new Fuel Filter, New Grounding Strap
Greddy's Boost & Oil temp Guages w/pod
Pettit Racing Stage 2 brake kit (rotors,pads,lines)

This is basically what I want to purchase in the next couple months But im also planning on getting

Racing beat Cat back
Down Pipe
High Flow Cat
Rx7 Store Extreme Fuel System and Denso Pump

I want to do all of this before Christmas of this year. But i wanted some opinions from thoose of you that are experienced. I did alot of research and feel that my list is set up in a "smarter" manner than just jumping into modifications. But if anyone sees something that should be done before the other please let me know.

Thanks for any and all help.

 

Have you actually written down what your objectives are for your car?
You have to take into consideration things like --how will you use the car,is it a drag car,a track racer, a dyno queen,a fast cross country tourer,a daily driver etc.

Just looking at your list I would have no idea where you are going--it's just a list.

 

The car is primarily going to be a weekend warrior and i really want to get into the autocross world with it. Im shooting for a goal of 400Hp maybe a little more with a good tune. I have looked extensively into about every aspect for the car. So far what i have listed is what i would like to get in the car this year. After the full exhaust, fuel system upgrade, i want to get the Pettit Coolcharge III intercooler and basically after that im going to get a rebuild, streetport, and then switch out the twin turbos for a GT35R. I just want to make sure im not skipping out on any important details and going about my modifications correctly...

 

However, Don't let me discourage you. If you want to autocross, your biggest thing is going to be a broad smooth power-band. any peakiness or quick transitions from low power to high power in a narrow rpm range could create some drivability issues on the autocross course.

I wouldn't aim for a specific number, I would aim for a specific purpose.

I am by no means an expert, but I am not sure if the GT35R is the best turbo for autocrossing. I could be wrong, but I think there may be better suited options for your purpose/power goals.

 

Oops nevermind, didn't see you already listed an EMS.
