      It's just so dead around here, and there wasnt even 1 thread in this section. Anyways, if all goes as planned, i will be runnin a gtx with the stock egt ecu. I will be gettin a Wideband o2 sensor so i can see what the stock ecu can take for boost for sure.
      Im doing this swap my self so i think the I/C piping will be the hardest part. Otherwise it doesnt seem to hard, but i guess ill find out during the swap.

          G series Axles
          Half or Intermediate shaft from protege LX
          Speedo cable from protege LX
          ECU (I plan or running the NA BP ECU with an SAFC II)
          FMU (cartech or vortech?)
          Intercooler
          intercooler piping
          boost controller

          magnaflow exhaust
          RX7/Walboro 255l/p/h fuel pump
          bov


          now the rest is what I plan on doing to help insure that my GTX runs forever and gives me some more power.

          Oil, filter, spark plugs.... pretty much all of the extras that GroHarlem so nicely listed in his Motor swap guide (Thanks to Wil).

          Fidanza lightweight flywheel
          ACT clutch
          Short shifter + bushings
          powder coating the header
          shot peening the gears


          List I made from an earlier thread.
          I got all but a few items listed there.

          The T3 BP MX-3 conversion has begun, and is taking forever & will kill me.

              talk to Xlerate (look in my sig for a link) he has a pretty damn good hookup for ACT clutches. He quoted me 320 shipped for a heavy duty street disc ACT clutch, when the cheapest I could find was something like 320 + shipping....

                Oh and before I forget I was talking with dave the other day and he said that the fuel pump wiring is different so that will also be an issue. Since I am using an RX-7 fuel pump, it came with a kit, but it will probably be different. I will post about it once I reach that point.

                wider tires are also needed for traction issues....
                anyone else think of anything I am missing?

                    I want around 225 at the wheels... on the VJ 20 for now. A turbo upgrade is eventually in the works, but for now I need a reliable daily driver that doesnt guzzle gas. I figure that in a 2300 lb car is good enough for a daily driver and good fun through corners. after I reach the power goal, I am on to more suspension and body work.

                      Cool. Close to my goal, ill prolly settle for around 200whp or so, then finish paying off my bills, and upgrade later. Just a nice little sleeper to beat all these other sleepers around town. In the long term though (next year or 2), Id like to be the first 1st gen in the US to hit 10s and be street legal. Unless its already been done.

                        I dont think it has been done, or it has and they didnt think anything about it.

                              I think he has done it.
