Hey everyone. I'm new to this forum as well as to the car that I recentely bought. I am willing to rebuild the engine with forged internals and need some advises. Here is a list of the things I was thinking of getting. Please tell me if I'm missing something out or if there are things you would recommend getting. The car has a full exhaust. The exhaust headers hasn't been changed. It has Apexi water temp gauge, oil temp gauge, boost gauge, boost controller, upgraded ECU. The list: Wiseco forged pistons with new rings Eagle Rods Cometic MLS headgaskets (what thickness should i get?) Main bearings Rod bearings (are these the same for eagle rods as for stock?) Rod studs (are these included with piston+rod kits? if not which ones should I get? ARP says that they are only for stock rods) Additional gasket set (can't find gasket set that won't have head gaskets in it) Garret GT28RS turbos. Godspeed side mount intercoolers (seems to be nice for the price) Aeromotive 340 LPH Stealth Fuel Pump I have 600cc Jecs Performance fuel injectors for now (might upgrade to bigger ones later) Considering this list what whp is possible? Estimated 1/4? Anything I'm missing? Things you recommend getting now? I'd be glad to recieve any advises or comments about my project as this is my first ZX. Thanks in advance, Rezi
You won't need that fuel pump necessarily for those mods . Check out black beast or even my build thread. Otherwise a good place to start. I would advise looking at head work if you want to run gt2860rs
Thanks for the reply. I need to change the fuel pump anyways. When it's really hot it starts whining really loud and the car stumbles and becomes almost undrivable. So getting 340lph Aeromotive seems a good solution.
