a buddy of mine just put a gsr motor and a fmax turbo kit on his 99 hatchback runnin 8psi, he asked me to ask you guys , what kinda cars could he run against , he a real good driver,hes just real excited and wants the break in periord to go good ,and what do you think whould be a good next mod for his car,

thanks alot

 

Wow....turbo GSR in a hatch? That's no joke. He should be pulling away from pretty much everything on the highway until like 130mph or so....then the big horsepower cars like the Vette and whatnot will start to pull again.

It's all about tuning and traction. My friend tuned my car to 5psi and it was great....I could beat some kid's car who had 9psi. Traction is also a problem. 9psi in a GSR hatch probably won't get traction until end of 4th gear probably. Z10 bars or an LSD will help a lot.

It's hard to say what mods he should do next without knowing what he has already. What kind of fuel management does he have? LSD?

Or he could get some hot washer nozzles.

 

hes gonna get a fuel pump, fuel pressure regulater, and hondata stage 3b real soon, whats a good cheap lsd, and where can he get z10 bars, his suspension is skunk2 coilovers, tokicko shocks, front upper rear upper strut bars, what are the best tires he can use to get the most traction, and what other stuff can he get to help with traction,

thanks alot

For LSD, Quaiffe seems to be pretty popular in this board. I'm being forced to take the cheap way out cuz of my limited budget.....Phantom Grip, baby!! Oh well.

After this....he can pretty much drive it as is....unless he's got extra cash that he NEEDS to spend. He can go forged internals (pistons, rods), turbo cams, re-sleeved block, etc. This is gonna be some crazy $$$ though. Of course, after all this, he can run pretty high boost.....near 20psi probably.

 

doesnt need the FPR w/ hondata 3b...i wouldnt recommend getting anything less than a quaife, you get what you pay for...bf goodrich drag radials are pretty good for traction, from what i've heard. by the way do you really run 20 psi??

 

he wants wanna get a z10 bar and quaife, any ideas where he can get them pretty cheap, and about how long is the install , becuase a friend of mine charges 50 bucks an hour to do installs , it looks like i can install the z19 bar for him , im just worried about the quaife lsd, and do guys think hed get pretty good traction with the z10 bar, quaife lsd, bfgoodrich tires and what he already has skunk2 coilovers,front upper and rear upper strut bars, because traction is a big issue for him, thanks alot

 

LSD will be a pain to install and I would have a professional tranny shop do it, but you guys can do the rest yourselves!

 

thanks for all the help,and does the lsd help out that much, cuz it might have to what a little while , another suggestions on how to get good traction whould be great and any suggestiosn on anything is also great im always hear to learn

 

any morw help whould be great thanks
