Critique my build plans before I buy anything...

[16vdohcturboawd]

I just picked up my Laser about a month ago and I've already done alot to it in a short amount of time. Im going to be buying a ton of performance parts in the next week and want some advice/critiqueing of my thoughts on my build. My goal for my build is 300 crank horsepower or about 250whp, its only fwd and a DD so im not looking to pull down 11s or 12s at the strip. So onto what ive replaced and bought so far...

All timing components
Water pump
All V-Belts, removed a/c bracket and belt, will be removing the condensor in the spring.
Fresh oil change
New plugs and wires
Dejon intake pipe
Hacked the MAS cover and New K and N filter
Tinted the windows
Set of EVO 8 Wheels
New audio system

Now this is what im planing on buying within the next two weeks...

3" Thermal Cat-Back system
3" Megan Racing DP
3" Megan Racing Test pipe
Autometer Cobalt Boost guage
Wideband 02 not sure which yet
Mech Boost controller not sure which yet
190lph fuel pump
An ACT 2100 with a street disc is also in the cards in a month or so.

I plan on sticking with the 14b until it either blows or I get money burning a hole in my pocket and then Ill upgrade to some version of 16g. I plan to run 15-16psi. Now here come the questions.

I plan on running the stock MAS, is it going to be ok running about 300ish crank HP?

Will the stock sidemount IC be ok or should I look into IC piping or just go with a front mount for overkill? I found one for $400 and the IC piping is about $200.

Will the stock 450cc injectors be fine or will I need an upgrade?

Logging/fuel mgmt what will I need if anything.

You should probably upgrade your intercooler, you can find pretty descent ones on ebay for cheap. Your injectors will probly max out immediatly. Buy some bigger ones like 550/650cc. I always get mine off the classifieds section here being that they are pretty pricey new. Of course I'm going to recommend a Dsmlink V3 only because I've messed around with the SAFC forever and will never go back to it now. Its not "cheap " though but you might as well save up and fork out the extra couple hundred. Good Luck.

AEM wide bands are good
maybe a lightened flywheel. i bought a fidanza and will be putting mine on this weekend

Your injectors are gonna be straying, and so might your turbo. Just try to get some 550 or even 660 injectors to keep up with the airflow, and maybe an afc(it will do the job). For the intercooler look at a supra sidemount and get some new better intercooler piping. Last get a 16g, just look em up in the classifieds and you can get one for around 350.

DSMLink or even good old TMO datalogger. If you can't see what's going on under the hood, you shouldn't be trying to aim at more power. I ran 20psi on stock fuel system with the 14b and everything was fine on the logs. Just get some way of datalogging or you may find yourself on the side of the road scatching your noggin...
