Rx7 FD 93 Build thoughts
So i am in the process of building/looking to buy a new...
OTS Pettit engine
HKS T04Z Turbo kit, along with the needed inter cooler kit
Also a Haltech 1000 or 1500 ECU
255 walbro fuel pump
My question for anyone to answer will this be a good set up? i am looking to get in the 450-600HP range.
I have all the funds needed just wanted to hear some feed back before i start spending money

I'm a fan of Borg Warner EFR series, but if you don't have the budget, there is the SXE series.
There are other options for good turbos as well. Just search the single turbo section or call a shop like banzai or IRP for advise. They sell kits but will answer questions without pushing product.

Also a Haltech 1000 or 1500 ECU has been discontinued for about a year, replaced by Elite series
255 walbro fuel pump is ok for 450, but not 500-600hp. There are now much higher flowing Walbro pumps up to 470lph
There is a big difference between 450 & 600hp, they are virtually 2 different build. If you want to build a 600rwhp car you are looking at upgrading almost every component in the cooling, fuel, ignition, drivetrain, etc. A 450rwhp can be built with far less upgrades.
What mods and mileage does the car currently have? I see bay area, does that mean you need to pass emissions?

We've got several turbo systems to choose from, just need to as mentioned narrow down your HP goals;

Pump gas or E85 makes the biggest difference in injector choices.

What would be "higher hp levels". I am thinking of going with the EFR 9174 for "500-625HP turbo kit.

Above the 530rwhp mark on E85 is where we move to the 6 injectors. Keep in mind you will need twin 460lph pumps for above 430-450rwhp range on E85.

The most we have seen on the 9174 is 600rwhp FYI, an easier goal would be 550rwhp to be honest. Thats plenty fast for a street driven FD in my experience.

I think you might be best going to a reputable business and plan out your goals and then you can figure out the path to get there, otherwise you will be on a painful and expensive path.
