Okay folks, it's that time again....a newb starting a turbo build.
I've owned the car for about a year, 2005 4 port with 31k miles. It has been good to me, but it just needs more power. (Cue Tim Taylor sound effects)
I have upgraded what I can, including a SOHN adapter, switched to 10/30 Idemitsu synthetic, did the cooling fan upgrade and the first $100 mods. I also did a full tune up at 30k miles. That helped a lot, new plugs, coils and wires. Also did a deep clean on the throttle body / accordion tube, and added a catch can.
Here is my build list. (Yes it's a turbo 4 port, please don't tell me to sell the car and Get the one with three pedals. The car was a gift, so I am keeping it and making it my own). This is not a pie in the sky "this is what I want" thread, I am ready to go. I just want some collective wisdom before clicking "buy it now"
Top mount turbo kit (67mm ball bearing Precision Turbo)
Air to air inter cooler
Waste gate plumbed to recirculate
New motor mounts
High capacity oil pan
Second oil cooler - bought on eBay for twenty bucks!
Stainless steel oil lines
BHR automatic radiator -just bought it in the for sale section
Racing beat triple gauge set - oil temp, oil pressure, water temp
Lotek dash gauge pod
autometer boost gauge
autometer wideband analog AFR
autometer fuel pressure gauge (not 100% on this one)
Mazdaspeed exhaust (heard it in person, loved it)
I have been told that under 300hp, my stock fuel injectors are good to go. I also saw from 09factor and others that they upgraded their injectors, so I am a little unsure about this.
My current plan is to tune via Accesport. I have not found a tuner in the Dallas area, so I will probably be doing it via the MM service.
Most importantly, I am paying someone to install it. I do not have the mechanical ability to do something like this, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Any input would be greatly appreciated
