Default just got greddy kit, what else do i need?

i just got a greddy kit for my 99 gsr. so far, all i have is that, a spearco IC, boost and egt gauges. i am planning on an exhaust soon. what else do i need to have this thing run me safely at 7.5 psi for the next 6 months til i get hondata? spark plugs, fpr, fuel pump? again, its only at 7.5 psi.

u also got 270cc injectors with it right? you don't need anything right now.. just put the car on the dyno with a wide band O2, see how much power you're making, and then take a look @ your A/F ... that will give you an indication if your car needs something else

(like ditching the blue box and going with an FMU & VAFC, etc...) until hondata comes.

Get a 1 step colder plugs (NGK - BKR7E-11) and gap 'em .030 - .032 before everything else. Don't forget to get some synthetic oil.. other than those, your ready to go.

You want a blow off valve and a turbo timer would be nice.

The blowoff is purchased separate and if you don't have it yet, start looking for one.

I would make a new oil return line, the one in the kit leaks like a sieve. A new tee for the oil feed would be good too, keep it off the block to prevent breakage.

Ok, I am stupid and didnt read it fully, get teh BOV and flange. I believe that you have to cut into the charge pipe and weld it on.

the clutch depends on how messed up yours is now, if its not slipping then dont change it until it starts to, and the exhuast i think would be a must..at least a 2 1/2 in for ur car but 3" would be the best...thermal makes a catback, or just get a universal turbo muffler and get custom piping...

hey DB8GSR, you suggested ngk-bkr7e-11 spark plugs. why these and not anything else? http://www.motodepot.com/street/engi..._resistor.html sells it for $20 per pack of 10. that seems like a really good deal or not-so-good plugs. please advise. thanks.

The BKR7E-11 plugs are actually good considering the price. It was recommended to me by numerous individuals when I was in the same boat as you and never looked back. I just went thru a set of these and used it for a year and never gave my car any trouble during the 4 seasons and bought another set after. I could've ran those plugs a little bit more but just don't wanna push it and want to keep my motor healthy and trouble free as much as possible.

hell yeah thats a good price. i used to buy 4 of em (BCPR7ES11) for $18 at motorsport techniques cuz they were the only ones that had em on stock all the time.

its about time you got a kit together huh man?
