you dont have to upgrade the lines for a low boost application but i have a -8 feed line and a -6 return line. you will have to call around to get prices on the lines. get the ngk race plugs from the rx7store.

does anyone know the ngk part number for the racing plugs? I work for O'reillys auto parts and i could most likely get them cheaper from my work.

I've got a nice aluminum stock-shaped AST for sale if you want it. It is new and comes with two Stant Lev-R-VenT caps at 13 psi (good for normal coolant) and 7 psi (good for NPG+). $100 shipped.

There aren't as many people running it as the ACT clutches, but you could get an Exedy Hyper Single for the same price as the ACT clutch and flywheel listed. That's what I chose for my car based on Howard Coleman's clutch research. His car is up and running now and he seems very pleased with it's performance.

I think some folks have had some trouble with the AEM wideband communicating with the Datalogit. Fortunately, there seem to be a lot of well-priced options for widebands now.

Some folks, including me, have been pleased with some other NGK motorcycle racing plugs. They cost less than the rotary-specific plugs, but you need a thin-walled socket to install them. B10EGV and BR10EIX are two such plugs, and I am sure a search for "EIX" or "EGV" would turn up some threads about them.

I would skip the turbo timer.

The site is working now, but I have been having a few problems with it lately.

My car is not tuned yet, so I don't know how much power it makes. I will be breaking it in and tuning over the next few weeks. It will be on a dyno at the end of April, perhaps sooner.

My baby has come home! I drove my car home tonight from the shop and it seems to be working well. I drove it granny-style to start the break-in, but I can hear the turbo whistling up as I rev it up. I can't wait to stomp on it and feel a nice rip to the redline.

I'll post some pictures soon.
