Well for any that are interested in a poor-kid story, a nearly un-imaginable occurance happened two weeks ago.

After battling my 90' Talon For nearly two years, and clocking over 207,000, domestic whoopin' miles. I saw an opportunity that would allivieate my ever longing toil to keep this DSM in running condition.

I found the best deal in the universe.

It was on one day upon arriving to work(Nissan Dealer) that I saw a Pretty nice blue 1st Gen in the wholesale lot. I didn't know what trim level it was considering I was about 150 yards away when I saw it. At closer inspection, the car resembled at least some sort of 4G63 power due to the trim.
Foglites.Ground effects.And those certian "Turbine" styled wheels that The Talon counterpart of that year steered away from.( liking the Talon wheels personally ;)
Hmmm... "perhaps at least a turbo",I concured.
Coming closer I realized It was AWD, because It said it on the B-pillar. Oh what a golrious Day, I proclaimed to myself.:D
Now at this point, the only thing That could Destroy my day, and 6-year old demeanor would be if the car was an auto. Because Usually when I run into something as sweet as this, there has to be SOME sort of minute detail to F$%& it up.....so, I pear into the Drivers side window
ANd now in full-on little kid in candy store mode I realized it was the best AWD DSM in exsistance.
92 6-bolt Engine/ 4-bolt Rear End. "Skyline" BLue/Grey interior
5-SPeeD, 130k miles, but meticulusly Maintained by Satan, and drivin by a woman it's entire life.
The timing belt skipped a few teeth one morning, and she towed it in to get a new car, cause she must of spent mad loot to get it fixed. It has New Everything under the hood and factory parts. I got it for $500 bucks
NOW.....

-I Have a VPC ready to go into it.(but no chip)
-I have ordered an ACT2600.
-I'm getting a RnR 3"O2 eliminator DP.
-I made my own 3" Cat-back
-I have a chance to pick up a TMO Stage III ECU

I need to know what in the opinion of the Masses Should I do with the rest of my setup to get a Blisteringly FAST, Daily drivin AWD Nightmare.

I wanna know what kind of intercooler, turbo, Wastegate, Fuel injectors, Fuel pump (Preferably a type with AN- fittings involved), and MOST importantly, what type of VPC chip to get upon installing the Support?

Thanks for the space I know it was drawn out, but My old AWD Talon was a Ghetto-race car, Now I have the PERFECT DSM from the factory and I don't wanna shlack on the hard-parts.

thanks for not flaming as well, peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeace
 
Nice grab, there will be many here who curse your luck!

What kind of budget limitations are we talking here? What are your goals with the car? I could start naming parts you should get (IMHO) but I feel I should modify the list to fit your budget and goals.

Lets say that doing it the "Usual" way(16g, 2.5", AFC etc) is a ONE and the HK$ way is a TEN.
I'm trying to be in the FIVES's, you know? the middle grade, stainless is allowed type of thing.
SO, If a DSM can do 11's w/o tearing up the block, what are the *nice parts that will keep me there consistantly?Don't forget about the VPC chip if you know about it.
we'll start there.:cool:
