What other parts should I buy?

I tried to search for other peoples lists but couldn't find much. It is also hard to match lists because most of them are personalized.

Here is a list of parts I am in the process of buying for my S13 SR20DET. Could you let me know what parts I wouldn’t need at this point and what parts I am missing from my list. Right now I am not trying to go crazy with HP. A lot of these parts are for cooling or oil.

Downpipe
High Flow Cat
Exhaust
Hotpipe with BOV
Fuel pump
Motor and tranny mounts
Oil filter
Fuel filter
Intake Manifold (which I will probably wait on)
Intake filter kit
Z32 MAF
Intercooler and piping
Radiator
OEM Thermostat
Dual electric fan
Cooling pan
Boost controller
Turbo Timer
Turbo Manifold (which I will probably wait on)
New gaskets
New belts
New oil pan (if needed)
Oil cooler
Catch can

Here are a few things I am not sure if I need or not.

Adjustable Dual Electric Fan Thermostat Kit, w/ relay and AC circuit from enjuku racing
Would I need bigger injectors yet?
What does a turbo extension do?
Is the oil filter relocater worth it?
Would I need new tranny bushings?
Would I need engine management at this point? I am getting the Greddy Profec B Spec-II Electronic Boost Controller and Greddy Full Auto Turbo Timer which I know isn’t engine management but do I need more or am I good for now?

the list looks good...

Would I need bigger injectors yet? - no, not unless your going to swap turbos differnent than the t25

Is the oil filter relocater worth it?- pretty sure it just makes it easier to change oil/ fit stuff in the engine bay

Would I need new tranny bushings?- no, but it's a good idea to change while you're there

Thanks for the info.

Do you know what a turbo extension does? I am guess it moves the turbo but I don't know why.

What about engine management or ROM tuning? Is it needed now or wait until I get a bigger turbo?

Is there anything I should do for my tranny?

not sure about the turbo extention, might have been a funny name for a downpipe or something have no idea

If you change turbos, injectors or would like to run a little smoother etc, you can get the stock ecu tuned. there's companies that do it, but i'm having a brain fart.

Engine management, you could go with a piggyback if you didnt want to tune the stock ecu, or do both. Stand-alone's are awesome, but very time consuming and tuff to set up

Tranny- wouldnt help to beef it up a little, expecially while its out of the car. It's up to you if you want to upgrade, maybe a 6-puck, or other upgrades
