Exclamation Do i need anything else?

It's me again ppl. Lot's of threads but in Cyprus we've got no experianced ppl on rotary engines so i'm trying to build on my own this single turbo project and i need most of your help like noone else in here

I will use my stock motor 2000model currently 280ps.

HKS T51R-KAI BB turbo kit.
Apexi GT spec FMIC
Apexi PFC+digibox+commander
FJO wideband CO2
Apexi Type S radiator
HKS internal+external fuel pumps
stock 850cc injectors as primary+ 1600cc secondary
Apexi fuel regulator
HKS Twin Power
Cusco Twin Plate clutch

I will run this setup up to 15psi on the stock engine.

Planning to order in the future a street ported 3 rotor engine with 3mm ceramic seals as well.

What do you think on my setup?
I want you to tell me if there are any better quality products not cheaper. I don't care about money.
Will i need anything else? Anything at all? Your opinion may be critical.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Seriously? If you only plan on running 15psi get a smaller turbo. You won't even see a T51's potential at 15psi.

And if/when you get a ported 3 rotor... Plan on changing EVERYTHING again. Manifold, rails blah blah blah...

Exactly. You should make your turbo choice based on the amount of HP you want to make and boost you want to run.

Don't just pick the biggest, trendiest or most expensive turbo out there.

If you're only planning on running 12-15psi, then get one that's effiecent and makes power at that boost level.

I'm not an FD guy, but us FC people use a 60-1 compressor turbo to run that kind of boost, ie T04B or T04S.

hey while your at it send some $ my way

But on topic you look to be in the right direction... I'm not sure what kind of tires you will be running but the stickier you go the more you will need an upgraded LSD in the rear end... and if you are planning for track use you could change your gears. Also different axles.

An aluminum AST
Do the fan switch mod
Get the block off plate kit to get rid of the emmissions stuff.
Better seatbelts
Did you get all of the lines and fittings for the rails?
