420A Need your Opinion. (about my planned setup)

[kicknyours]

I'm currently just about done pulling a motor to build while my stocker is running as a my daily driver. Any input or opinions (whether critical or not) are appreciated...

As far as the below, It is what i currently have or have planned on getting. I regards to gauges, I'm not sure but have been reading about the truboost from AEM and had planned on an oil, air/fuel(?), and egt gauge. Any thing that you'd recommend please let me know (models/brands/ect)(i know "getting a new blowoff valve" is one of them)(also things that i missed)... Thank you in advance for your time...

(Plan on Getting)
Hahn Port Fueler
(for some reason i like the simplicity of it... I haven't heard anything really bad about it other than people that don't have it, haven't tried it, or love their own setup (which i can respect). I already have four fuel injectors from the turbo kit so i'd either get the port fueler with out the injectors or just order em (if they're different) and sell the ones i have (never used). Also, i could be wrong, but if i get the portfueler (which i plan on) would every part of the stage ll system still be used? (sorry, i'm ignorant.)

It all looks great.

You might want to buy the whole Portfueler setup as a kit from Hahn, as they program the injectors into the actual module.

Ebay has some inexpensive Timing belts and other various stuff including gasket kits.

You will want a wide band o2 sensor and gauge, a vac/boost gauge and I have an oil pressure gauge, but many will say you should get an EGT meter. Somewhere on your fuel setup you will want an equivelant to a B&M fuel pressure gauge.

I say you have it mostly under control. Weclome to the family.

thank you... i also forgot to mention that "while i'm there" i'm planning on a new fly wheel and clutch and I plan on driving this car daily...

Quick scope; looks good. Just check out CI in a search on here and 2gnt before you buy from them. Just for an informed choice.

I would recomend the MP60mm TB. Especially with turbo. Give some consideration to the AMM intake just put out (or possibly a "re-worked" OBX or Venom). While I like the stocker P + P for the bulk of the NA applications. I would like to see more flow for the turbo apps.

thanks for the response. i've dealt with CI once for the larger (than stock) TB. I purchased it before i planned on going turbo and received it within a week. i'd imagine a head would take a few weeks (4 to 6)... just hope its not 4 to 6 months... I'm going to want to talk to sean (?) before i order. i'll pretty much tell him that if everything goes smoothly, they'll be the shop i use for my part orders... and if not, he'd lose a customer for life... ha
