Will require a better clutch.
There are much better coilovers available.
From a conversation with Alexeiwoody- aftermarket rods only needed at 300+kw
Unsure if .63 rear housing will net 300kw (?)
I imagine semi-closed will be fine.
Tial 38 or 44mm EWG would be good!
Why not ID1000 injectors (?)
Possibly require larger fuel pump (?)
Possibly require other 'accessory' mods eg catch can. Read existing builds at this power level for ideas
GONEWALKABOUT wrote:Not sure i entirely understand your stance with the rods "having already budgeted for them, may as well do them". Why not save the reasonably large chunk of money for a better set of head studs, which will help stop you cracking a HG. Or something similar, save the money to get a better oil pan.. or perhaps other things you havent mentioned that you will need for your ej255 such as a bigger oil pump, cast wheel water pump, brand new OEM timing belt kit.
If you have deep pockets and it doesnt bother you.. then i suppose go for it.

this is all
If you are talking about safety by adding rods you WILL want upgraded oil and water pumps. An 11mm Oil pump and the cast impeller (STi) water pump will do. You probably wont need the other things so much.
