Re: 2001 GS-R
Welp.. that is a common goal here on this forum. You definately need to use those FAQs at the top of the forum and take a gander. There are a lot of factual actuals that address all of those questions. If not, give me a PM, let's see what we can do.

Here you go:

Some good ones from that search result (I only looked at page 1)
**Some good search advise. Look at ALL The threads that even remotely relate to your search.. check each post. A lot of the time you will find a user in there with a "build thread" linked in his signature so you can see what they had to do to get to where you want to be)

Until you understand it I would recomend not spending a DIME.

Re: 2001 GS-R
read carefully... Unfortunately, this forum doesn't cater too much to spoon-fed information to people, this place is chalk full of goodies, but you have to look for them, even through google, which will point you right back here. You'll learn that quickly.
A few things to get you started.
This is right from the FAQs sticky above.
https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/%2A%2A%2Aforced-induction-forum-faq%2A%2A%2A-1024174/
Just from typing 300whp GS-R Turbo gets you here
http://www.google.com/search?q=300wh...ient=firefox-a
Again, you need to start reading a bit before you just get spoon fed. Though the science to get 300whp has been done time and time again, even with turbochargers, people tend to have different approaches and methodologies (as you see in the first link) in terms of size and use. You have to ask yourself a series of questions.
-What is the purpose of the car? - daily driver? Street/strip? Road race/street? Drag only? -- KNOWING THIS IS PARAMOUNT. Even if you plan to upgrade, you need to know the purpose of this car from the beginning. Otherwise, you could easily be purchasing parts more than once.
-What is my budget to spend on a setup? Am I willing to put in what is needed to make it work correctly?
-What engine management will I tune with? Is it supported by my tuner in my area (as close as I can get..) -- Go with what your tuner recommends. If you don't know one, check your area online to find the better ones. There is also a list of tuner sites here to help you in the right direction.
-What is the health of my engine? - Yes, 300whp can easily be made on a stock engine without the need of lower headgaskets, aftermarket pistons / rods, but the engine needs to be compression and leakdown tested and in good mechanical order before partaking in such a venture.
-Do I want to retain A/C or power steering? This will determine the type of manifold and kit that you purchase. this also determines the type of exhaust housing you purchase. Though 4 bolt T31 style housings are easiest to use and swap in case you upgrade.
-Will I be installing this myself? Am I slightly mechanically inclined? Will another person be installing w/ me, or am I going to a professional? --- If this is your first time doing ANYTHING of this sort, and this is your ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.. take the time go to the professionals.
-Is a Kit best for me, or should I piece it together? ---In your case, a good complete kit is best, as long as it is from a reputable company. This way you have all of the smaller components and parts needed to install, and there would be no need to make trips to tractor supply stores, home depot, or plumber supplies. The turbo, injectors and management can be from other reliable sources. Budget about $3500 for a good complete kit on average.
-What about emissions / SMOG? Do I need to worry about that? that's up to you, as most of the better, higher hp kits that have 300whp available vent a lot of things into the atmosphere, (BOVs, wastegates, etc..) You need to check with your area laws to find out what it takes to drive the car, if the kit is not 50 state legal. Sometimes visual inspections may be required of the inspectors, FYI.
-Do I need to lower compression on the car? Typically, no, as the GS-R is perfectly fine at that compression. There is no need for headstuds, lower Compression headgaskets or other shortcuts just to lower the compression. As long as your tuner knows what they're doing and you using over 93octane gas, you'll be more than happy.
-do I need a better clutch than factory? Typically, yes, since you're going to be increasing torque by over 60% when adding a turbocharger.. Think about the purpose of the car again, when deciding on what's best for you.. stick to that plan.
-What about injectors? some have the "bigger is always better" approach. this can work, but depending upon the tuner, that also may mean more dyno time (more $$$) to smooth out imperfections for good drivability if the injectors are too big. 660cc or higher typically work. Keep it simple w/ rochester/lucas (RC w/ the exception of the SLH-750), Precision (Rochester / Lucas -- or Siemen Deka) or Delphi injectors, with the o-rings fitted to work w/ your fuel rail (which can stay stock).
-Fuel Pump? Oh yeah... definately. keep it simple, and use A walboro 255lph 342 high volume pump kit. It bolts right in.
That's as much as I'm going into it.. the rest is up to you.. PM me with other questions, but make sure that when you ask, you've researched some possibilities first.
The more honest you are with yourself in answering these questions, the happier you'll be in the end..
