3S-GTE, Any other products? Options

[Guest_Matthew_*]

I finally got the 6th gen gt-4 clip last week and today I took out my engine and everything. Tomorrow I will be putting in a new clutch and the c-one coilovers. Can anybody think of anything else that I would need to buy to make this sucker haul a*s? I already have a HKS intercooler that is meant for a 99 eclipse. I got it new a while back. the gt-4 hood is on order. I also have a greddy T-78 turbo and I am having my friend connect that to the gt-4 engine tomorrow. I also have new camshafts and valve springs plus rods. I might need to replace some of the hoses with some that are more colorful. So I guess that I have 2 questions.

1. Any more parts that anyone can think of before I put the engine in?
2. Where do I get the colorful hoses from? I would like them for as many of the hoses that I can get.

www.hosetechniques.com makes a kit for the 3sgte engine. It's for the mr2 but it's the same engine. It's $75. I ordered this kit but sent it back, cuz the color didn't match my theme. I did happen to write down the lengths for each size hose you need for the kit. I'm sure you can find hose cheaper somewhere else. Let me know if you want the sizes.
Did you get a clutch yet? I used a 3sgte ACT HD Pressure Plate and i didn't work. THe stock clutch wouldn't disengage and it wouldn't work. The 5sfe clutch disc is too thick for the act plate. I used the pressure plate that came with the engine and new stock 5sfe disc. The pressure plate said TRD on it. Do me a favor and tell me if you pressure plate that came with the engine looks like this. http://www.geocities.com/zegoat2000/Dcp_0231.jpg
I want to know if mine is aftermarket or if trd makes the 3sgte's pressure plate. It just depends on what's comes with your clip. Hopefully yours comes with a throttle cable. You'l need gaskets for things you take off like intake manifold and throttle body and turbo exhaust manifold.
