Good point, I kind of had
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£1000 in mind for complete fuel system so injectors, pump etc.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I guess the lines need to be included here!

Uprated clutch?
Yep
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- forgot to mention these, was planning on uprated clutch already and probably flywheel too.

The

£250 for a flywheel isn't really significant when it comes to a 5k build

Is this for a drag car? If so then surely better to run a GT35 in its comfort zone rather than a GT30 at its limits?
It's currently a 260bhp daily driver but I would have to reconsider that once it's got this motor in it.

It's as much a project for me as anything right now.

thermostatic oil cooler
That's strange, I was discussing an oil cooler today with my housemates.

Not sure if this is overkill or not, what do other ppl do about this?

What's the benefit here?

Yeah
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- I like that idea.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Any recomendations of where to get one?

Already have one

Gary ST165 wrote:![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
a whole array of temp and pressure sensors/senders and alarms to monitor your huge investment.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I think knock sensor, wideband and egt sensors will have this pretty well covered.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I guess oil pressure and/or temp could be added.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Again any recomendations?

Shouldn't be a problem with an aftermarket ecu.

I'm planning a rev3+ LSD box but if i do decide to go for a big power turbo then will get uprated driveshafts and cv's.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Anything else needed?
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Until it's up and running properly and i'm tracking it a lot then i'm not too worried about brakes.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I'm a firm believer of small, well maintained systems when it comes to road brakes.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Rev2+ but not planning on big aftermarket jobbies out of the box.
