I wil be parting out all my stock turbo setup very soon on my car so i can complete my little project

 

that's a big jump man, I would suggest you get some cams and retune, it'll help net you some good power and torque. Aside from that, the new setup will definitely make more power.

 

Your going to need a good clutch exedy twin hd would do the trick. As for the turbo your going to need something that can push some air. Since you will be reving pretty high with the 2.1. A hta 86 or 6262 or bigger would be good. Also i would look into a shep trans also because its going to break sooner or later with a setup like this.

You could run it with the stock ecu for awhile but you will pick up more power with a AEM ems or the hks one.

 

You might want to consider upgrading you FMIC to something a little more efficient.

 

maybe a new tuner?! haha jk...kunal does a great job! good luck with your build, keep this thread updated

 

why not give the red a try, or even the new fpblack...the red has been proven to make ~500whp with good cams on e85 and stock block. with a 2nd fuel pump and 1600s you could make big power (i consider 500hp big) with minimal lag and a fraction of the cost and labor. now, if you want the built motor/t3 setup, by all means go for it. lord knows i would love that myself...but i think the red w/ e85 is an oustanding street setup and deserves some consideration.

that said, if ur gonna go with the forward facing mani, which is dead sexy, like my man said above try the 6262 or hta86. i dont know if youve seen any results on here but people are making unreal power with these relatively fast spooling turbos. the pte billet turbo lineup is really very impressive, and have a range of sizes both smaller and larger than the popular 6262. goodluck

 

ok, lets start answer questions
First off i have a quartermaster twin disc clutch in the car that is absolutly grippy

SEcond off, i plan on purchasing a buschur race fmic w/ licp as soon as i upgrade the turbo

Car already has cams
Forced performance fp4r cams which r pretty aggresive

i considered a fp black, but i just see my self being happier overall with a nice big turbo setup

Im all about power as Kunal would pitch in to aggree.

Ive kept the car to its point so i could build around the motor first then go crazy

Also i wanted to get used to the car since it was my first evo.

Btw i am looking into the Buschur (shearer) Forward FAcing Manifold as it looks wicked

The two turbo's i was considering actually is the 6262 or the hta86. But you guys think that will be enough lol
