whats next for mods??

ok got my fd up and going and have everything bought or so i think.. this is for the motor setup so no suspension or exterior mods please..

already bought/installed
greddy elbow
efini y pipe
hks twin power
msd plug wires
greddy suction intake system for the twins
3" downpipe
3" catless midpipe
HKS carbon ti exhaust
apexi pfc and commander
koyo radiator
silicone radiator hoses
1300cc secondary injectors
all emissions removed and blocked off
unported reman motor
ACT clutch and ACT streetlight flywheel
stock rebuilt twins and ported wastegate
rats nest simplified and silicone hoses
new wiring harness
poly motor mounts
greddy boost controller
Greddy 3 row fmic system with bov

thats all i can think of i have so far bought.. i want to keep the sequential twins so no turbo upgrades for me not even BNR's.. i want to run the stockers till they pop.. and the motor will get ported when the motor pops and needs a rebuild

anyone see anything else as for a bolt on for the motor i should be looking at getting?? or am i pretty much maxed out for goodies till i go single or something?

Sounds like you're well on your way. I don't think you need anything else honestly. Only thing is make sure you get a good tune so your motor doesn't "pop" before your turbos do...

You might get right around that, but I doubt you'll go any higher. Besides from what I've heard Steve Kan is a pretty conservative tuner so he'll push the power to a point he feels safe without going overboard and risking your motor. A few hp here and there isn't really a big deal. Just reduce some weight by pulling out the P/S and A/C and get some CF as in the hood, possibly hatch etc. and get some lightweight wheels and your car should be well above what a 350rwhp FD is supposed to be.

Fuel pump?

EGT guages? (also helpful for tuning)
Water/Meth injection?

bigger safety net, pump gas is so "hit and miss" in quality. and at 15psi there is little margin for error.

actually I consider some exhaust block off plates (just a a safety precaution)

its something like a cheap insurance policy for your car.. and it lowers intake air temps. Just be careful who installs it and it is correct. A local guy out here just blew his 500hp FC engine when a nipple for the injection came off and right into the motor.

you should also think about a wideband. and maybe a datalogit. i heard the PLX wideband works well with the PFC and datalogit. Monitoring the AFR's is going to be very important in tuning.

for the stock twins and an unported motor, you've got it pretty well covered. anything else engine wise is just gonna be prep work for a large single.
