you should change the rod bearings... there has been an ongoing thread on the se-r mailing list about this topic. Apparently some people have spun bearings shortly after installing there DETs. You might want to search there.

clutch if u need it. could also try cleaning out all the carbon deposits in the TB and intake mani. we recently swapped rwd det into a s13 and the intake mani&TB were coated with the stuff.
