I'm just saying that you shouldn't claim that you 'like to search' if you've got pretty much no idea about what you're getting into. True the search engine isn't the greatest, but it still doesn't take a genius to surf the F/I area and see who is posting with what setup, send a PM, get better direction....

Thanks EP3, yes the pricing I'm getting on several items is good enough to make anyone consider FI.

Hey Fluid,


Please dont waste any more time trying to reinforce useless opinion, no one gives a ***. See your way out of this thread and dont let the door hit you in the *** on the way. I'm done replying to the assclowns.

at your level you may not need it but it would be nice to do a return fuel kit when all the work is getting done (pulling the motor). You are getting an upgraded short block so Im sure that you will want to increase the boost later on, which would require a RFuel kit. The CJM kit is awsome!!

In Fl you might want to look at a better radiator as well.

You dont need a better radiator just use a intercooler that wont cover the whole radiator, im going to use a intercooler out of a porsche 944 turbo and have the end tanks redone, it supports 550whp, and will not block flow to the radiator.

This isnt my intercooler but it looks the same, mine is in like new condition and i paid 120$ for it.

Even with a better radiator most of the current kits intercoolers are so big it will still block the radiator. I have never been a fan of covering the entire thing up with it. In my merkur i used that intercooler with a vw sirrocco radiator with the intercooler sitting on top of it.

it makes sense to me, I have the APS Ext system and the Intercooler is flat out massive.

Some other little things you might want to consider aside from the big stuff. I did this with my recent build, 1 step colder plugs, MOTUL oil, and some sort of EBC would be good. Other than that your setup sounds alot like mine. You will make your starting hp goals easy.
