ill tell you the 1st thing you need to get rid of, and its that ls cyl head. swap a vtec head on it, leave the bottom end stock with the addition of aftermarket rods and pistons/head studs. spend the money wisely. its very simple to build a reliable setup anymore, that makes killer power.

exh housing seems rather large... is this a street car ? to take advantage of that you really need a higher reving engine or a larger engine, the LS is not either of those, especially in stock form

it's going to be a street car with a good amount of track duty and the motor is not really going to be stock if you read above i described it. im starting to think that maybe this is to big and just to go back to my hx35 that i had been looking at. let me know if you think that would be a better turbo
