Any Advice Before Teardown?
Well, getting ready to install a MP62 kit onto my 01 today/this-weekend. Any last minute advice before I do so? Anything I need to know in specific before? I know this sounds general, but wanted to make sure I wasn't skipping some big step before doing so. This will be my first major engine modification (but my dad was a mechanic, so I've learned a decent amount). Below is what I'll be installing:
MP62 Supercharger
TDR Tensioner
62.5mm pulley
TDR Intercooler
RX-8 420cc Injectors
Walbra 190lph Fuel Pump
Koyo Radiator
Xede (need to buy the 01 harness)
Already ran a tank of 93 octane through 'er in advance. While it is going to be out of service for a bit, I also plan on changing out the oil, spark plugs, and brakes.

You go BOV if you put the tb on the intake side (or reroute the bypass). Depends on your goals and priorities. Read jeff_man's other threads/posts to get more info about it - he also has vids available.
I would do the header at the same time. You'll want the blower off to install it.
What size crank pulley will you be running?

I'll be forced to do the header at a later time (hopefully not too much further down the road) due to needing to sell my motorcycle first. Wife said once I sell it, then I can get a couple more things (haha).
Crank pulley is stock.
By the way, thanks for not just bashing my lack of knowledge in this. Or, should I say, thanks for at least holding off a little bit. I'm still learning a lot through this process.

Update...
So, I did the header at the same time. Ended up getting a Jackson Racing 4-2-1 header, found a good deal on a slightly used one. Also, I ordered a new clutch from Renown Performance. I got the CC Stage 3 FX3000 (if I remember those numbers right).
I haven't decided on the BOV yet, still reading about that a little.
As of right now, I'm putting everything back together to get it up and running. Hopefully all continues to go decently well!
