Default Building my car, need some help.

Car is currently running with the following:

APS TT
APS Test pipes and 2.5" True dual.
APS plenum
JWT Clutch/flywheel

Looking for around 500 HP.

Im building the bottom end and leaving the top end standard, apart from new exhaust valves and a bit of a clean up job.
Had the following in mind:

Pauter rods
Arias pistons (9.0:1)
550 injectors ????? advice please?
Full stud kit
Cometic gaskets
Actuator upgrade (forge??)
Oil cooler
Radiator (koyo??)

Fancy a new BOV while im there, as well.

Sticking with the Unichip to tune it all.

Any advice gratefully received.

Cheers.

those parts will easily get you to the 500hp goal and keep you there which is more important

Yeah thats the idea. Looks like the unichip will have to go to accomodate the larger injectors. Probably go for a Utec.

Another good reason to ditch the basic Unichip, is that the UTEC has full control over the engine, knock feedback and control. In addition, you are not locked into having the engine tuned at an authorized UNICHIP or APS dealer.

Your setup looks great...you should have no trouble at 500whp. We have all the parts listed in stock at all times. Best of luck to you.

Ok, thanks guys.
What boost controller do you recommend with the UTEC? i would have thought it would have had some capability to run a boost solenoid?????

With the Utec you can buy the TurboXS boost selonoid and the Utec can control it, That is correct. Contact Shariff for more info and pricing on those parts.

Cool, havent heard much about people using this method, most seem to have been using standalone boost controllers. Be nice for the UTEC to control the whole lot.
