Default what to do...nismo v1 or more power f/i

im in a bit of a financial dilema.. i dont have the money to buy injectors, utec, and fuel rails to make use of my newly built motor with greddy twin turbos. i have a nismo v1 kit on my car on my car at the moment. my stock front bumper is a bit messed up and has its battle scars. but should i sell it revert to stock exterior or wait. i picked up the genuine nismo v1 kit with jdm front bumper and wing. i also have a emanage to sell to kinda eat up some of the cost as well

Current Mod List:

CP 8.5:1 Pistons
Eagle H Beam Rods
ARP L19 Headstuds
HKS Headgasket
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
Greddy Twin Turbo
Greddy Emanage Ultimate
AAM Basic Fuel Return
AAM 3" Exhaust
JWT Clutch/Flywheel
Test Pipes

In Need Of:
RC 750cc Injectors
AAM Fuel Rails or CJM Fuel Rails (Whichever is cheaper)
New EMS(probably UTEC)
AAM 3" downpipes

The best advice that I can give is that do one stage at a time, such as foucs on performance now so that you get it all done and wont have to worry about tearing it all apart again. Then when you have the money focus on the exterior. This way you can get everything done efficently.

Building cars is not a race. Don't take the hit selling the V1. Just keep it and wait until the funds are more readily available for the rest of the supporting mods you need.

Everything I learned about financial management came from this game. Link

If you think you can get enough money out of the kit to do the mods you want to your motor then I would go for it. I am not a big fan of body kits though.

Bro, i had my TN kit sitting in the garage for about 6 months while I pieced together what I needed. I would hold on to it and get what you can when you can. Especially if you got a good deal on the kit.

Dont be in a hurry, if you sell it once you get your engine straight you will wish you had kept the kit.

I myself went all go before show but somehow it all seemed to happen like a whirlwind at the same time.

the thing is like there was alot of crap that happened that put me in the spot im in. its a long story. but basically what happened was stock block twin turbo planning on taking care of the cosmetics and being happy with stockblock for a while. then an injector got stuck open. which i didnt know we just thought the motor was blown. so i ordered parts to build the bottom end. and when i found out it was just an injector i still went ahead and built it. so right now i just got built bottom end with twins. i got a walbro 255 sitting on the side until i get all the other fuel mods and new ems. so im not sure what to do. sell the kit and get the fuel and ems i need. rought choice cuz the nismo v1 is really growing on me.

i would only sell your emanage. your stock rails can be modified to make them a return style for not much dough, especially if you can do the prep yourself. used injectors can be had for not much either in the marketplace, just clean them first, which is easy to do with just a 12v source and solvent. utec could be had for a good price in the marketplace also, and if your lucky, have a decent base map already on it.
i wouldn't sell the body kit, especially if it is all painted. then have to buy another one at a loss later. just drive it like it is and save up your money.
