Step #1 - Turbo! RRM's $4k IC Turbo

Step #2 - GReddy Cat-Back Exhaust

Step #3 - Magnacore Wires/L.S.D. (not the drug...weirdos)

Step #4 - Strut Bar/Sway Bar/Lowering Springs/Shocks-Struts/Camber Kit

So thats my plan...now my main question...if i get this Turbo...wut other things do i NEED or would help out a lot? Like does it come witha Boost Guage or a better flowing fuel pump? I know i need Forged Pistons from wut you all have said..so i guess u could add "Forged Pistons" to Step #1.

But do i need anything else besides that kit and forged pistons?? I wanna be a sleeper for a little while...after the GReddy i might throw on some Altezzas or something. What other 'internals' would i need to replace also? I dont wanna do this and have my engine blow up in a week cuz i was dumb and forgot something. I'll prolly get all the internals first THAN the Turbo. But winters coming up..so im saving the money

PLEASE HELP ME!!! Honestly..u don't gotta answer now...its not gonna happen for a few months, but i want a lil bit of feedback now so i can start pricing this stuff. Thanks a lot all

you dont need to replace internals if your ogin with the basic RRM turbo set up
i mean yea it woudnt hurt but your not gonna have problems with your pistons at 5 psi
my sugestion if to get the exhaust wiht the turbo
also the turbo comes with EVERYTHING you need including a 255 lph fuel pump and vortex FMU
you dont need to byu anythiugn else for the turbo to work probelm free

 

sweet thanks man

 

so if you were to increase the psi, then would you be wise to start building up the internals?

 

cant go catback with rrms turbo...axel back only

 

you can go catback with rrms turbo... they just do not make a catback exhaust... you can either have one custom built or buy the greddy... probably some others out their now but i havent been keeping up on them.

 

liquid... correct me if im wrong please, but dont they set the turbo to 7-8 psi on the IC model, not 5 psi... ???

 

non-ic kits run 6psi i think while the ic kits run 8psi

 

My suggestion is to do what I did. Buy a boost and EGT gauge (I would reccomend GReddy for the EGT, so will Rob) and get a boost controller. I bought a basic manual boost controller from Rob's counterparts RREngineering (it is about 55 bucks or so) , they also sell the gauges at very good prices. It's not a bad idea to go ahead and get the controller, that way you can down your boost for daily driving and conserve fuel, etc. Just some input for you.

 

Wideband O2 beats the pants off of EGT, but it's a lot more expensive (as much as triple the cost w/ a gauge). That'd be my ideal recommendation.

 

Brakes...

 

Not as necessary as you might think. Still, I wish I had some 16" winter wheels/tires or the money to buy new winter tires and have them mounted and balanced so I could install my friggin' Wilwoods.

 

I was thinking of just better rotors, ducting, decent pads, and good fluid. Big brake kits suck donkey *****.

 

Man, you're crazy.
