upgrading, tell me what you think
I am swapping the engine out of my 94 fd and upgrading
I could use some help pointing out anything im missing or going to need.
I am pulling my stock engine out and using it for another project.
I have a half bridged 13b short block freshly rebuilt and a T04r single turbo new that are both available to me at the right price.
I have been doing my research and have a pretty good idea what all i will need but i figured some of you could tell me exactly what else i will need and help me find the best deals so i can save some time and money.
I will be using a power fc+commnder for engine management
also what could be used from the stock twin turbo engine on my new setup if i need it.
I am anxious to get started so any help would be awesome

That is way to much of a broad question to answer. There are ALOT of things that you are going to be needing. I will try to answer as best as I can but, I hope you have someone who is competent rotary mechanic, because if you really have to ask, you might want to consider that option.
Since you are getting a short block, you can reuse most of the accessories from your old block. Your UIM, LIM, TB, etc. You will have to get a fuel system. 550/1680 should be enough if you are going to be running A/I (WHICH YOU SHOULD). You will have to upgrade your clutch because the stock one will not handle that power at all. Most importantly, you need a GOOD TUNE. I cannot tell you how important that is. I blew my first motor while learning how to tune. I learned the hard way but I now know how to build a motor and tune it.
From the looks of it, you have a long way to go and lots of more time needed to be spent reading these forums and using the search funtion. 99% of your questions can be answer there in much more detail.

I know all the majors. I'm more looking for what not to miss and maybe if anybody has used parts I might be interested. I have a few friends with fully built single turbo fds and they will be helping me with my build and tune but they haven't had time to help me order parts and I don't wanna miss anything. I am wondering which fuel kit to order and also my friend has a new act street cluth kit for a turbo 2nd gen. I'm wondering if there's a differnce from the 3rd gen cluth kits
