I went down this path 4 weeks ago, did myself a favour and purchased an Odyssey PC680. Fits in the R33 boot nicely and works with the factory R33 terminals which is a nice change. Only downside is the cost, I paid $380 for it but according to Odyssey it should last around 10 years...

Deka make good batteries, however 190CCA's is appalling. Look into the Deka intimidator(exact same specs as an Optima d34M yellowtop) which has a hefty 750CCA and 120Ah which should be plenty for most systems.

I run mine(albeit it's a hyundai excel at the moment) with a hefty(150A+) stereo system going full bore for a good hour and a half and it still cranked with no trouble whatsoever....

edit; Oh btw, the deka intimidator can be had for as low as $250.

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
