Opinions/advice wanted on first motor build.....
Ok guys I will spare you from the history of my car.....I am building my 2.0 and running a standard GT35r with the stock maf.....this is my first build so I am looking for opinions on my setup/ advice on things to do improve on while its all apart.....motor should easily withhold what I want to throw at it.....with that said here is my parts list....also like to thank Map for the hookups....looking for 650awhp give or take on the corn....
-Brand New OEM 2.0 Crank
-Wiseco 1400hd Pistons .20 over
-Mapperformance Spec Rods
-ARP Studs/ACL Bearings/Timing Package,Water Pump,Oil pump,Gasket Kit
-Fresh Head
-GSC S2 Cams/Beehive Springs Retainers
-Intake Manifold and TB?
-GT35R/Slickmotorsports Manifold/Tial 44mm/HKS SSQV Recirc
-Hardpipes, Precision Intercooler
-FIC 1450's/ Dual Walbro Setup/ Fuel Rail/ FPR
-Shep Trans/Tcase/Exedy Triple Ceremetallic
I am also planning on the ams balance shaft eliminator kit and the Fluidampr....anything else im missing?.....any advice....it will probably be going to machine shop within the next 2 months.....I have most of my upgrades already sitting here waiting....Thanks everyone
First off I want to make clear I am not bent on the numbers.....I will be happy to have a smooth running, mechanically sound car.....
I have an upgraded FPR, Hallman BC, LC-1 which may or may not have died before I tore the car apart (was also thinking Zeitronix), I am semi-familiar with EVOscan and am planning on having Will help me when it comes time to tune, honeycomb was already almost digested at a little less than 30 psi, so its removed, I just added a COP to the list, I have either the 600 or 750hp intercooler(I think there is a 2inch difference in the height so I am unsure at this moment), and lastly I am starting to hear bad things about the old style magnus so I am undecided about the intake manifold and tb......hope that clears some things up

twin walbro with pressure relief disabled, fuel rail & fic 1450cc is good enough for up to 700awhp using e85 on a dynojet, GST uses a mustang dyno so when he says 640awhp he's not talking about a dynojet.
you don't need an upgraded FPR but it won't hurt anything either.
what kind of boost controller?
what kind of wb02 kit? you'll need one that's compatible with evoscan like the lc-1 I have listed on my website.
you'll need to remove the honeycomb from the mas so it's not digested by the turbo
You probably need a COP for high boost on e85 and gap some NGK BPR8ES (one step colder) plugs to .020
what throttle body are you going to use with the Magnus?
what size precision intercooler are you going with?
