New Engine Build GR35R
hey guys, I'm writing up a part list for my FD and I was hoping to get some feedback of what you think and if there's any suggestions you might have - this is my first time having a seriously built engine. Currently It's sitting on my driveway with a seized engine :-( Finally, after 3-years of just having it sit on my driveway I'm actually financially able to fix it up to the way I had originally intended. First off I've always loved this generation Rx7 for the way it looks, both inside and out. 2nd of course are its handling a power abilities. Anyways... enough talk here's the list of major parts I've put together so far - I'm basically looking for 400-500whp being as reliable as possible.
so here it is, hope you're patient...
Full rebuild of the 13B with street-port, GT35R single turbo setup, greddy elbow and hard piping, Apexi Power FC, tial 44mm wastegate, Tial Q BOV, car already has full cat-back, HKS intake, new groundings, optima redtop, Greddy M-spec FMIC (replica from rx7store), ACT street/strip clutch, new flywheel, new rad, Supra fuelpump, upgraded injectors, Pettit's AST, Defi boost & air/fuel guages, and probably a decent amount of time spent tuning :P And yes I've thought about upgrading the rear-end too but is it worth the $$?
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Any help would be great!

I haven't heard of this "RP mod" for the FP, what's involved with that?
where at in Canada are you?

I am currently working on a very similar project. The 35R is a great setup.
You have a tremendous opportunity to asses many of the issues with our cars. Since you are pulling the engine, and going single, there are a lot of mods that you can do at the same time.
Dual oil coolers - this is simply a MUST for every rx7.
Relocate coils - I purchased the Garfinkle plate. This is great mod.
Lightweight pullys - very easy to do with the engine out. (be sure to research for main pulley)
Fast Acting Air temp sensor
Replace ALL rubber coolant lines
Reseal oil pan
Poly Motor mounts
Ceramic coat manifolds
These are just a few things I have done with my project. Take your time, do not rush, and do as much as possible with the engine out. Things are much easier.
