No, I wouldn't bother..
Once again. I would need to throw away a $10,000 transmission... and start fresh.

If I were to throw away that much time and money I would never go with a freakin kl or the disi. Or any mazda motor for that matter I would rather go with a motor that can actually hold s*** tons of power and that there's an actual market for. Either way brian don't ever go away from your setup... unless of course somebody buys a built motor and trans for you and you spend no money on it
Well the only difference in the KL and FS tranny is the bell housing. You can swap the internals over easy peasy. And there is a mod for the KL to delete the disty and run a GM HEI for ~$80.
But I understand why would you go with a different motor since you'll already got so much invested in your FS-DE already.

Nice set up dude, I'm interested on that CARPUTER , how much it cost total ... i'm thinking to go that route but there's so much crap online its giving me a headache so can you post some specs or something I can look into.
That electric water pump sounds nifty but I wonder how that would work for DD car driven all yr around.
On another note, I'm looking into getting custom gears later on and you have even taller gears than what i planned but then again your gearing toward top end instead of DD friendly, how's 1-3rd gear on local streets ? any lag (even though you have small turbo) , how often you change trans oil ?

Carputer as in the Engine management? It is a Haltech PS1000. It will run any engine from 1 to 12 Cyl, Rotary or Piston, Turbo or NA.
The Taller gears are streetable and fine and should be what the car came with initially..
Normal "AN" fittings.. They can be bought almost anywhere.. Russell and Aeroquip are two companies.
Thanks Very much.

Fantastic build! Car is an amazing work of badass functional art!
BUT...
I have one complaint. The racing harnesses setup. All of it. I really don't mean to sound like a dick but it's just wrong on all levels. I would urge you to look at some of these links so you can improve your install as well as safety.

Looking forward to more!

True ingeniuty in this build! You remind me of my friends dad who happens to be an engineer, this is something he once told me when we were working on my dirt bike a couple years back, " a problem, fitting issue, or mechanical failure is simply a detail" you have an amazing vehicle, and at 16 years old, i hope that by the time I am 50, i will be half as intelligent as you are, a true inspiration! Keep it up and you'll have that texas mile record under your belt,
Huge props to you!

UPDATE: TEARDOWN BEGINS.
New Engine, Updated Ratios in Transmission and a larger GT3071 Turbo.
- 4th Gear (0.725) vs 1.030 Stock
- 5th Gear (0.625) vs 0.795 Stock
So you see, my new 4th gear is significantly taller than the stock 5th.. LOLZ
In 4th gear I will be turning 123 Km/h at @3000...
