Well, Im actually not Rick (the owner of the user name) but actually his brother. I will be doing a buildup on his car in the next few months and I had a few thoughts and would like some input from the knowledgeable ones here... If this has already been brought up then Im sorry, if not, then happy replying to you.. ;0

Here's the goal: 400whp or a nice low 12 sec 1/4 mile time. but mostly 400whp

As for a setup heres the plan that I have:
T04S
Greddy FMIC
Pineapple Racing motor (mild street port if necesary)
Koyo Radiator
PowerFC
Greddy Type-S BOV
1600cc secondaries
fuel pump
fuel rail
Twin-Power Ignition
RX7Store midpipe

Now, we were considering a Bi-State turbo kit, but nice I can get good deals on turbos I can considering peacing it together with a tubular manifold from RX7Store.

So these are just somethings that I am considering, now I can also get a nice price on a GT35 but i am trying to keep cost down since this is quite a lump sum of money.

Anyways, what Im looking for here is opinions on the setup. Would it be good for the goal or should I look to go with something different?

Let me know

And also, if anyone is interested in a Garrett turbo of some kind, let me know because I might be able to get something going for you.

there are alot of ways to get 400 rwhp. Either turbo will do it

 

That looks to be about the same setup that I am going to be running soon, with the exception of a Gotham Racing street port instead of the Pineapple motor, my only comment would be to go with a Fluidyne radiator instead of the Koyo. IMO

 

i agree fluidyne fits really nice!

 

Sounds like a great set up! I have the same setup and I have 850cc and 1600cc as my injectors. At 10 psi with race gas I got 350rwhp. I'm pulling for 475rwhp at 20 psi or so with 100% 110 octane race gas on my next tripat the dyno. Good luck with yours. My tuner told me that a good fuel pump and fuel filter is a must!!!

 

yeap that seems to make perfect sense... it would suck to spend all that money to have the motor fail at the end because of a fuel filter...
