    sorry honeys but that evo and supra are going to have a extremely hard time beating that. that turbo alone is capable of 800ps, and a fd can out turn a evo any day, and the supra isnt even close.
    then again that will take over a year to complete so meh.

    haha whew, sorry about the comment mogallo, its been a long day.


    reading comprehension is good.
    You say you are going to do all of this when you get a FD.

    Ok, you can start by answering a couple of questions for me, if you don't mind.

    Who is your engine builder? I assume you already have talked to him before you posted this list up. After all, you wouldn't pick out a turbo without knowing exactly what porting he is going to do.
    Also, who is your tuner? You definately wouldn't have posted a list like this without his advice. What engine management system are they telling you to use? I didn't see one listed.

    Also, that Holley fuel pump and injectors are not going to support 800hp, you will need 850's in the primaries, and 1600's in the secondaries for that. You will also need the K2RD fuel rail upgrades. Your engine builder didn't tell you that?
    BTW - Mazdaspeed rotors? With that setup you would need 87 TII rotors and cut them to 3mm.
    A Cusco 4pt.? You have no clue about rollcages obviously. If you really are pushing that much power, you will need a 6pt at minimum and preferably a Kirk.
    Wet N2O system: Who is installing it and tuning it?
    ACT clutch? It won't hold the power. Believe me, I know. You will need an Exedy twin-plate at least.
    BTW - The only reason that your Cusco LSD won't snap is because your 18" Advan tires won't hookup. With 800hp, you will need a widebody to put the power to the ground.

    Not only is he owned once more, but after the epiphany he just had he now has a couple of new things to add to that ever growing wish list.
