Okay, I’ve got a whole bunch of my parts and I’m just about ready to start my engine rebuild and turbo install. Basically, I’m wondering what the best order will be to install it all. Should I do the engine rebuild first and break it in, then add the turbo setup or should I do it all at once? Here’s my setup.

255lph Walbro Fuel pump (installed)
FPR (installed)
Golden Eagle vacuum manifold (installed)

ARP Headstuds
Edelbrock Cam gear
Tuner Toys Rods
Vitara Pistons
New Timing Belt
New Water pump
New Oil pump
OBX fuel rail
Intake gasket
Cometic head gasket

3bar map sensor
FMIC with 3” piping
700cc Denso injectors
Greddy BOV
Hybrid T3/T4 .63ar
Oil Lines
Hondata S300
LC-1 wideband
Devil’s Own Injection Kit

Also, is it worth it to buy a Cam shaft?

personally speaking, i would build the engine and break it in first. then add the turbo stuff later. it is all a matter of opinion though.

build, break-in on stock ECU, then boost

im actually doin the same thing i just finished building my motor but im not goin to put my turbo kit in till its all broken in and ready for the dyno...and dont use the 700cc injectors keep the factory ones becuse you dont want it to run too rich or lean keep it factory with that that way you break it in good with no problem and you'll have a smooth ride

Make sure to use engine assembly lube. Its red and its really thick. If you dont use it, There is a matter of seconds that you engine will have no oil, its critical to use it Use it everywhere you can...If you already know..just throw what I said out.

A camshaft isnt a bad Idea.

DONT BUY IT FROM COMP CAMS!

Edit: btw, thats a pretty cool paint job on your hood, you the del-sol above this post :TU:
