Okay - now that my Supe is finally almost ready to be driven once again, after almost a year off the road, i've been doing some window shopping for upgrades.
I'm not looking for a mad mental spec - i'd like to keep it driveable. I'm not planning on doing 1/4 miles either.
Spec so far:
Stock + 20 thou overbore, Ceramic Topped Pistons (still cast, but better than stock replacements), 7thou skim on the head, new valve seats, New thrust washers, new water pump, new coolant hoses (thanks IJ!), ARP Head Studs.
HKS T-16 Exhaust, HKS Turbo Elbow, Blitz Dump Valve, Fensport Front & Rear Discs, Pagid Fast Road Pads, TEIN HR Coilovers, 17" Matrix Shadow Alloys.
Parts being considered:
RPS Sport Clutch (420lb/ft rated)
Fidanza Alloy Flywheel
Jawsgear Single Piece Alloy Propshaft
3.91:1 Early Turbo LSD
ENKEI JS+M 17" x 7.5 Alloys
Bridgestone Potenza Tyres
HKS VPC + 550cc Chip OR MAP ECU
RC 550cc Injectors + Clips
IS300 Coils (For TooKwik's COP Setup)
Walbro 255lph Pump
Aeromotive AFPR
Koyo Radiator (Keeping Stock TVF Unit - not going electric fan)
Now - those i figure are a good place to start the basis for upgrading further.
I'd like to get an FFIM - preferably the 2JZ Upper to 7M Lower, if someone has one for sale, or can knock one up for me. If i get an FFIM, with the COP mod, i can then switch to the far nicer looking N/A cam covers.
I'd also like to get a replacement CT26 - fully rebuilt, but unsure of what trim to specify. I'm aware that a 60-1 is going to be sketchy in terms of reliability, and if i wanted that sort of power, i'd get something better than a CT26. In terms of trim - what are the crank hp limits for the 54 and 57 trim CT26 units.
Along with those last two - an intercooler would be nice - recommendations for one would be handy.
Boost controllers - which one? There are so many to choose from but i'm drawn more towards the HKS EVC and the GReddy Profec.
If i go for the VPC, will i also need an Apexi SAFCII or HKS FCON?
I'm also guessing that with such a mild upgrade, a set of BC 264 cams would be wasted?
Lots of questions for you guys to answer
