Ok so here's the deal for every thread about going 12's I've read I see alot the same and alot different. So here's my list tell me what else I need. Thanks


My weapon of choice:

1990 Plymouth Laser RS
fwd turbo 5 speed
gutted rear interior
removed radio and speakers
spare tire, jack, tool kit, etc.
Bone stock (down to the tall shift knob haha)
143K original miles
I can post some pic's if need be, just ask.

Stuff I'd replaced so far (work in progress)

PCV valve
fuel filter
oil and filter

To do soon:

Transmission fluid
Coolant flush and fill
Brake and clutch flush, fill, and bleed
Blah blah blah (I'm not a real noobie)

The amo:

FMIC (22 x 7 x 2.5")
2 1/2" charge pipes
Turbosmart dual port BOV
MAF Translator and 3" sensor
S/S clutch line and 1/4" longer slave rod
Prothane motor mounts - OEM one's are shot, what a shame ;)
3" turbo back - with test pipe, for track use only of course ;)
o2 dump - again for track use only.
Ported 2g mani with stock upper heat shield (it's all stock)
Genuine EVO III 16g
S/S feed line off cylinder head
Open K&N on inlet of turbo
Hallman Pro MBC (21 psi)
90 Eprom ECU with DSMCHIPS stage 3 chip
Walbro 255 high press pump (12ga. rewired)
FPR and install kit
Boost, oil temp, fuel press. gauges
215/60r14 BFG drag radials on 14" steelies
KYB AGX shocks and Eibach pro kit springs (front only - borrowed from my wrecked AWD)


Waiting for the UPS man:

New PS and Alt/h2o/crank belts
New pads and rotors and rear calipers (needs it bad)
Also s/s braided brake lines by goodridge
Timing belt, BS belt, tensioners, etc.
Crank pulley, washer, bolt, and timing plate

Need to know:

What clutch? (ACT 2100 or 2600, street disc is a must)
Should I get a flywheel or just resurface the stock one?
Should I consider getting an intake that puts the air filter farther away from the engine?

Anything else you guys would reccomend. I'm going over the entire car. It was in storage for about 12 years and somethings need to be done. Oh and I got a helmet, a digital camera, and a need to go to the track, haha. Thanks in advance for the help

I have the following but I'm not ready to open the motor yet:

ARP head studs
Genuine MITSU MLS head gasket
Crower springs and titanium retainers
Ferra s/s 6000 comp. series valves
New valve seals

-Jace :laser:
 
Ok here's my last few ?'s (thanks for the help so far by the way).

Which clutch and flywheel "should" I use for relaible daily use?

What should I do about boost (how much psi on 93 oct, I'm at sea level)

What injectors do I need, seriously? (550'c, 650's, 750's, etc.) (at the most I'll be looking to run about 25 to 27 psi on a evo III 16g after the head is done and the ARP's and MLS headgasket).
 
That's expecting quite a lot from the E3-16G... right on the hairy edge of the compressor efficiency map, if not off it. Know that the 14b is good to about 21psi before it starts getting pointless, and the small 16 goes up to around 24-25. That's the absolute most they're going to supply without heating the air too much to see any gains at all. Would get a lot more power out of a better flowing turbo at a lower psi level.

I wouldn't go with smaller than 750s myself, and jump to 850s or 1000s for extra running room and safety. Only going to really run those (without HUGE low-end drivability problems with an SAFC/MAF-T) with DSMLink or a standalone EMS, though. Or falling into the single-burn EPROM pit.
 
I have decided to go with 950cc injectors from Fuel Injector Clinic, save money for the DSMLink and buy a PTE scm6152e turbo, those 3 and a wide band should take care of my HP and 1/4 goals correct?
