Hello,

Finally got most of everything I need to finally install my kit. Just thought I'd ask for some feedback or suggestions on it.
1). Vehicle is not a daily driver. ( 04 s2000)
2). goal: 380 to 400 hp to the wheels on stock motor.

what i have:
Full Blown Log manifold
Full Blown 3" Stainless downpipe
Full Blown Intercooler piping
Full Blown Stainless dumptube
Precision 5857
Intercooler
Precision 39mm wastegate
Tial 50mm BOV
Full custom 3" magnaflow dual exhaust
turbo blanket
AEM EMS V2
seimen deka 675cc injectors
walbro fuel pump
AEM wideband

On its way:

CC stage 3 clutch kit
upgraded radiator
oil pressure and boost gauge

anything I'm missing or overlooking?? thanks again in advance for any help or suggestions

 

you need a map sensor of some sort. omni makes one that bolts into the stock location cheap. other than that for your power goals you should be fine

 

Thanks, for the quick feedback! Just put that on my order list.

 

I would highly recommend getting the following...

ARP Exhaust Manifold Studs

Stage 8 locking bolts for turbo to manifold connection and also enough for the downpipe if its not V Band

 

gonna run an air filter?
aem dryflow has the best reputation.

 

Do you really need the air filter? What are the benefits. Doing my research on here, that's something that's really never came up in any of the posts.

 

air filter is so u dont have to change your oil every 1500 miles.. so you dont suck up dirt and rocks and damage the turbine wheel

 

Have you looked inside your stock airbox lately? Do you see all of the little rocks and pebbles and sand particles that collect inside there?

All that crud is going to go through your precision machined turbo and into your engine if you don't put a filter on.

 

your probably going to want an AEM boost solenoid as well. And depending on how the kit fits, you may need misc relocation brackets/ heat shielding.

 

Meh, my thoughts are this:

If I DD the car, I would w/o a doubt have an air filter.

I don't, so I only run a mesh screen.

None of which have had any serious signs of wear.
