Sounds solid... your cars going to be a beast if its turned correctly!

Or but one thing... i would invest in DSMLink!!!!
how are you going to turn the 850's??
I wouldnt trust the MAFT alone!
and A Wideband is also a good thing to have!


Oh nevermind you profile says you have a keydriver... sorry!!
well
Sould solid then hahah
its going to be a beast!!!! ;)
 
The 850's aren't going to get you too far with an HX40. I would recommend at least some 1150cc injectors. Also what pistons are you running? I see Eagle rods but no mention of an aftermarket forged piston. Did you use 1g or 2g pistons if so? There is a pretty good compression difference. What about fuel delivery? You are going to need a rewired Walbro 255lph pump to start with. I would upgrade the feed line as well if you are wanting to max out this setup. That turbo come's with some great topend but on stock springs even with 272's your going to have some issue's. I would recommend upgrading the springs/retainers so you can really turn the motor. An HX40 will carry well into the 8xxx rpm range. A keydriver is a good start but you really need to go with something more advanced like DSMLink to tune the car with. It is good that you have a wideband but you can't really make an on the fly adjustment or compensate for future mods. Sounds like a good start with just some smaller details to work out.
