Exclamation Need Suggestions!!

For 3 months I've been trying to decide on a turbo for my FD3S and its only made things more complicated. I have been reading the forum often, and its only making me more undecided.

I just opened a shop and I am building the car as a show piece for the business to advertise. BUT...our shop caters to the performance side of things!!! SO I NEED *****....BIG *****!!! The car currently is getting rebuilt by a close friend of mine that races and builds rotaries...he lives and breathes rotaries...(I wonder how he is still married).....

.....THE CAR WILL BE RAN AT THE TRACK....I want 10s, but I want to be able to drive it once or twice a week around town.

SO her is what I want....guys I want to stay cost consceince since most of my $$$ are tied up in inventory from starting this new business....

500RWHP....couldnt see me needing anymore
Quick Spool up...
10 second 1/4
NOS...yes? or no?
What kind of porting?

Thank you for your time guys....if anyone has anything for sale pls email me to!!

I know what I need I just want to pick a tried and tested setup that someone else is using to avoid major problems and get the car runnng soon.

buy a greddy t78 kit... its tested, proven and includes almost everything you need... but be prepaired to upgrade the drivetrain to go 10's.

also you might need to think of a different business modle, ie: ask yourself the question, "is going fast in a car that isnt produced anymore going to make you money"

you would be much better off with a 11 second wrx, evo or 350z

I didn't get a new vehicle because (a) i didnt have that much cash (b) who wouldn't want an rx-7. I have tuned numerous piston motors and chose an RX7 because its different and needs to be properly tuned...I want my customers to know I provide 'quality' rather than quantity.
Thanks
