Round 2 Checklist, am i missing something? Options

[easternpiro1]

hey guys, was trying to get my thoughts together for when i get the NT2 back. I believe ive got the necessities out of the way, and i will list what i have, please feel free to add anything i may need later or forgotten.

i plan on dyno tuning it very soon after reciveing it so i may consider pushing the dyno date back if i add water/meth soon enough.

I have:
4th gen 3sgte

Emanage blue EMS
Areomotive FPR
Koyo racing radiator
550cc injectors (stock should be enough?)
AIR/garett t3/t4 turbo
tial 38 wastegate
3inch exhaust from turbo back (mandrel bent)
turbo xs manual boost controller
turbo xs RFL BOV RICE?!
Appropriate gauges...boost,oil temp, AEM wideband
stage 2 clutch (s54 tranny)

power goals: 320-350 (i know i know, i need a mr2 tranny)
whp before swap:266/255tq@ 15psi on ct20b (stock boost level)

hopefully will be boosting 15-18 lbs w/ new turbo setup hopefully the intake manifold will hold up (crack repaired) and hopefully i shouldnt have any boost issues with the w/g placement


tips? suggestions?
I appreciate all your imput! (no flame please!)

No personal experience. If you read my post, you'd note that I said that it may have had an aftermarket 2-way LSD in it since apparently a lot of the 3rd gen 3SGTEs came with them for whatever reason (information based, again, reading on the internet so it may be completely wrong).

Most (meaning almost all) GEN3's that came with LSD have a viscous coupling LSD. So the chances of getting an LSD from a GEN3 with anything BUT a viscous coupling LSD will be far and few between. And as stated a few times now, this is an Ideal trans for a FWD setup. Now there is a chance when buying a GEN3 LSD (as with buying any used LSD with vague to little information) that you may get an LSD trans with a TRD 1.5 clutch type LSD (dealer option) or a 2-way that was installed by the previous owner.

Just like buying anything else, if there is good reliable information about the trans, and the person can verify that it is in fact a viscous coupling LSD, you are good to go. But if you go out on a limb and buy a GEN3 LSD trans from an importer with no REAL information on it, well then you take the gamble of POSSIBLY getting an LSD trans with something in it other than a viscous coupling LSD.
