I want to make sure I've got everything covered before I start buying stuff...



GSL-SE Front Cover (Racing Beat)

GSL-SE Oil Pan (Racing Beat)

GSL-SE Engine Mounts (this has been debated, I need to know if I can modify the crossmember of a non-SE or not)

Fuel Injectors (850cc primaries, 1600cc secondaries)

3 row radiator (who can I get this from?)

Oil Cooler (Racing Beat)

Fuel Pump (NipponDenso--how good is this company?)

Fuel Line Pick Up (Where can I get this?)

T2 Tranny (is The Parts Trader the best place to get one?)

Exhaust -- I'm assuming exhaust systems for FDs will bolt up, but I want to make sure.

Haltech E6K or maybe E6X...will E6K maps work for the E6X?



Also, if I ever (get the money) or have the desire to go single, where would I buy a manifold? Somebody in Japan has to make them...



Please let me know if there's something that I'm missing that's essential to this swap, Nopistons is basically my only source for info on this.

First off you need the SE radiator and oil cooler.Don't need a aftermarket setup.A stock SE fuel pump will run it just make sure to Get the SE hard fuel line for it.Custom exhaust and drive shaft will be needed.A standalone system or Series 5 TII to run it.Custom manifold and turbo setup unless you really want to try to get the twins to run on it.FB shifter and housing so you can modify the T2 tranny to put the FB shifter in its stock location.Other than small **** like FC coils and what not you should be good to go.And a boost guage doesn't hurt.

Custom drive shaft, wtf?



So you're telling me the stock twins aren't going to work?

Yes custom driveshaft.You need a way to use the T2 yoke for the tranny side and a FB yoke for the diff's side of the shaft.I still need to get mine done.

Yes the twins will work if you want to run them non-sequential

Where are you getting your driveshaft made?



Why can't I run the twins sequential?



Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

If you wanna try getting all those solenoids and **** to work go for it but theres alot less vaccum lines and stuff involved in going non-seq.I'm going to a driveline shop here and explore my options.I have a SE and T2 shafts here.I might put the T2 yoke on the SE shaft to drive it for the summer tho.

Looks like Racer X has this one under control



Dysfn- you can get a driveshaft made anywhere they do custom driveshafts and U-joints. I had a place do mine that normally does a lot of heavy equipment stuff. Look in your local phone book for a place like that.

This is getting more and more involved, but I still want to do it very badly.



Thanks a lot for the help.



Anything else I should know about?
