New Motor For 2003
Ok here we go again, its January and my FD is about to get a new motor again. Just about this time last year I had the bad experience of having a motor swap done at the recently departed " High Tech Auto " Only 8k and 10 months later the sweet smell of white smoke let me know how poor the motor swap was really done .They do get points for the creative use of electrical tape but screwd up my car for the most part .
But thats old news and I am trying to put all the bad karma from that experience behind me . So if you told me to go the High tech last year , I promise I wont kill or drive you off the road . But I guess the good news is I am at the right shop now.
Well heres the dirty list of mods . I currently have PFS equipment / Intake/exhaust/intercooler
Now after my third engine in 18 months I chose to have the new core street ported . Upgraded my ecu to a Power FC unit , HKS downpipe, BNR stage two turbo upgrade, Fluydine radiator ,Pettit ast , Pettit launch kit ,1300cc injectors ,Walbro fuel pump .Defi EGT and water temp gauges .Oh and I did send out most of my parts for polishing **bling **bling **
So any feedback ? I was shooting for a magic 400+ rwhp figure and I will post my dyno results next month . I know the mods list can go on forever but I think I have a good set up for now. Let me know if you think I missed anyhting major.
Thanks
