Rebuilding--Looking for opinions
I put this in the newbie area but figured I'd put it here as well so all you local guys could see it and help my out with comments and suggestions pertaining to what my plans are.
So a couple months back my can went down because I spotted a huge oil puddle under my engine and found my timing belt to be covered in oil and my spark plugs smelling like oil and gas.
I've finally decided on the path I'd like to take and what parts I'd like to go with since I've decided to pull the engine and do a "budget" type rebuild. The following list is what I plan on doing and I'd like to know from everyone out there if there is anything I either forgot, don't really need or even something you may suggest I need in place of something on the list.
All comments, suggestions and questions are wanted as I'd like to do this right the first time and keep in mind I'd like to track this car as well as drag race it, so that may give you an idea as to why I've chosen the path and parts I'm going with. Also all the current parts I have are in my sig. so if you don't see something on here look there first before you post up a question or comment about forgetting a part.
EVO3 16G
EVO3 O2
2G piston upgrade
Downpipe
Exhaust
ETS street or street/strip FMIC kit
Injectors (please recommend a size as I don't know what to go with)
DSMLink
Cams (264/272 or 272/272 setup?)
Cam Gears
Sprins and retainers
Head studs
Valves (if needed)
Upgraded lifters (I still have the old annoying ticking ones)
Wideband
EGT Gauge
MAF trans for my 3" GM MAF (if needed, don't know if I still need it with DSMlink or not)
Light flywheel
New Clutch Disc (Have ACT 2900lb PP, just need a disc--recommendations on what to get)
FPR Kit
Fuel Feed line upgrade (if needed)
Also Need: New struts, springs, brakes and pads and I was going to upgrade the sways and brake lines as well since I plan on doing some track events
This is all that I can think of right now but I'm sure I'm missing something. Also while the engine is out I plan on freshining up the motor with new gaskets, bearings, water pump, oil pump, etc. -- I want to be sure everything is fresh and ready to go.
My plans are to have a 350awhp (+/-20hp) on 92 pump that I can have fun with and take the track for some lapping or drag racing when I feel like it. I am finishing up on fixing my '89 CRX that has a B18A in it for my daily driver, so my Eclipse will be for those days I just want to take it out and cruise or have some fun, it definitely will not be my daily.
Thanks for taking the time to go over this and agian all comments, questions or suggestions are welcome. Thanks guys.
