i am about to sell some property and make about 250,000. i want to go insane on my engine with some of it. here is the list i am thinking about and the prices that rrm has on their site for each part. if there is anything else i should get or something on the list i dotn need let me know. thanks

1. motor mounts- 289.00
2. manual tranny turbo- 4099.00
3. manual tranny stage 2- 1199.00
4. spark plug wires- 89.00
5. forged pistons- 699.00
6. rods- 799.00
7. throttle body- 289.00
8. intake manifold- 349.00

possibly???

1. flywheel- 489.00
2. clutch- 99
3. pressure plate- 289.00


again if there are any products on here that dont make sense let me know. im not really sure on what products work with the turbo and which ones dont.

thanks.

 

Where did you get the tranny from?

 

Camshaft? Cam gears would probably benefit you + exhaust

 

unless your gona race more than drive on the street, i'd forgo the flywheel. yes it does increase throttle response but street drivablitiy is less enjoyable. so i'd prolly do that last if you've got the money to burn.

you could also go with the powder coated valve cover, and a cam shaft upgrade. not sure how much those are off the top of my head.

 

i like the cam shaft and valve cover idea. i was actually thinking about those. yeah i forgot to ask which exhaust would be the best one to run. which exhaust does everyone recommend??

 

i didnt get a tranny, i am getting the manual transmission turbo.

 

i also want to upgrade the suspension to go along with the engine upgrades.

here are some options im thinking of.

lower tiebar
slotted disc brakes
kevlar brake pads
rally spec strut bar
rear strut bar
anti-sway bar with perhces

i have the progress springs now, but i might get some tein stuff, dont know yet.

what do you guys think??

 

i say if you got all that money, sell the springs and get tein ss adjustable coilovers. it'll be worth it. also, on the anti-sway bar perches, one of my perches broke and the other one was about to (it was cracked). so, i'd watch out for that. like every now and then put your car on a lift and check everything out. especially that turbo. i also recommend the wilwood drilled & slotted disc brakes with their steel braided lines (don't forget those).

 

yeah i was thinking about the wilwoods. it sounds like a good idea to do those. yeah i own a shop so i can keep a good eye on all the parts from there. hopefully nothing really crazy will happen anyway.

 

I wish I had all that money for my car... Everything on the list sounds good. Magnaflow turbo back exhausts are nice but I think there are nicer more expensive ones. Like HKS, but not exactly sure about that.

 

I've heard that the kevlar brake pads aren't really worth the money, but if you want them...... get them. About the exhaust, rrm basically sells two: greddy and magnaflow. There's $100 difference in price and no difference in the size of the piping. So since both of the cat-backs have 2.25 inch wide piping and greddy has a history of melting a few bumpers, I'd go with the magnaflow.

 

ive always been a fan of hks, does anyone know if they make an exhaust for the lancer.

 

why not just get an evo?

forgo the upgrading of the oz and get the evo/rs/ or wait a few more wks and get the MR!!!

 

Looks like they only make an exhaust for the EVO. Magnaflow is really good though. Nice deep sound. Well, until you put on the header. However, I've heard that once you put on the throttle body and intake manifold, it gets better.

 

Well i'm pretty sure that if you get the stage 2 turbo from RRM.. you would get new injectors and a piggyback unit.. But if I were you, it seems you're going to be doing some heavy duty racing.. Why don't you just buy the non-ic.. and the i/c pipes from RRM.. take of your front Re-inforcement bar and stuff a mammoth a*s Intercooler in there. Also, if you like HKS, the site www.kteller.com sells premade piping and independent mufflers. I think you can get a 2.5" cat-back with an HKS muffler for like 500 or so. Oh yeah. Get the Buscher's down pipe, and have it tapped for an EGT. and some gauges!.. Other than that your set up looks real nice. Maybe get your head ported and polished while you're having those rods and pistons put in. Let us know how it turns out.
