Obviously, I have a few things comming up that are going to be needed. First, is a Frontmount. Second, a tough clutch. Third, full intercooler piping, and BOV. Fourth, rods, bearings, and pistons. All comming with time. I got killer deals on parts above which is the reason they were bought first.

Any suggestions on frontmounts, and clutches are appreciated. Also, if you could give me a good starting point on fuel pressure, and what to tell keydiver my regular fuel pressure is going to be. Also, what else do I need to run an e85 mix or is it possible to run on this setup? Anyone know the boost levels this turbo likes to be ran at? Hopefully I'm off to a good start on this project. I don't really have a goal in mind, except to suprise the domestics at the local hillbilly 1/8th mile track. It's a rural area, so if it doesn't have a v8 it isn't fast. :tease: Thanks guys.
 
Good luck getting a 57 trim to spool on an 1/8 mile track. I had a 50 trim and that thing took forever to spool up. Sounds like more of a highway monster if you ask me. I had a precision FMIC and a 2100 ACT clutch on mine. Id recommend something a lot stronger for the clutch as im assuming you are gonna run a lot of boost. Start at the 2600 ACT and work your way up is my advice
 
Honestly, I just traded my 57 trim T3/t4 .63 a/r for a 50 trim .48 a/r if that helps you, but this is for my mr2 which I'd rather not wait till 4K for 15psi...:notgood: Now I get 15psi @ 3200 and boost starts @ 1900rpms :) but mr2s are not drag cars anyways so thats why I did the switch alot more fun around town..
