Agree. Here my humble 2 cents.

1) Thermal Coat your aftermarket downpipe, header, uppipe and the hot side of your turbo.

2) Zeal coilovers (since $$$ ain't the issue) or Cusco if you want to match ur RSB.

3) Lightweight battery (if you're not planning to run a MAD stereo system)

 

IMO this is way overkill for hawaii as we don't have a track nor do we know if we're gonna get one. why not build your motor like hoppie said with good internals, and see how far you can go with that b4 going ***** out. i mean if a reflash and a good dp can get joel in the mid 12's why can't you do slightly better with better internals and similar mods? just a thought as i don't think you quite understand what your getting yourself into. your going to loose most of your drivability with all those mods. i mean just look at how much your putting into the motor vs the susp and braking. if money is no issue and all you want is speed go but a really fast european car that was made to have high top end. otherwise i think you will be sorely dissapointed or worse. just my $0.02

 

b/c you want your clutch as your fuse not your tranny. it's cheaper to replace a clutch then a tranny

 

Good point ... our cars are made for twisties. We're not telling what you should do, it's your car but we just giving you some knowledge from our prespective.

 

Ohhh, of course,,,was thinking of something else,,,jajaja

 

If not mistaken, these Turbo kits come with their own Downpipe(custom), because of these rotated turbo locations is totaly diferent than other turbo, they way it sits in the engine bay, ie,,,Gt30r, GT35r, GT42r,,,Thanks

 

I saw he posted, "money was not an issue" why not go big, huge project,,,and just buy a hooptie for daily driving,,,just my 02.cents

 

^^b/c we have no track here so it's kinda pointless.

 

I also have a gt-35r kit by crawford performance . If it makes you happy go for it . Good luck on your mods !

 

I understand, but doing mods in a car is a natural thing for a real Racer / car enthusiasts,,, about the tracks, hopefully by next yr. some decisions are made,,,so we can have a Race track in Oahu....

 

yea soO there are a lot of good points, yea? but this is gonna be a huge project for me!! in cali i did a huge b18 project over like 2 years yea!?! well i dunno how this is gonna go yet, im just excited to see that i can post everything i do, day by day, pic by pic!!! well illpost what i do, and ill prolly end up postin questions, cuz my roomies er DUB folks, aha!!! and for those who posted bout track questions! whos said i wanted to take it to the track.. and when im done and final.. ther prolly be the "superferry" and maui has a super track i hear!! hmmm... well thanx to all!!!!!!! shoots

yea i wanna get a drivin car.. like a slow *** ex hatch , lol!!!! just for work and school!!!!! lmao...

 

i also suggest you strengthen your block before you boost it. let us know what direction you plan to go.

 

You know guys....we have a track on Kauai . It has the longest runoff area of any track in Hawaii for drag racers. However, that's the only catch....it's only a dragstrip.

 

I agree, it's a hobby.
