this is what i have so far

ls block, stock rods b16a pistons, micropolished stock crank
b16 head, stock, ITR intake manifold, RC 310 injectors, GSR ECU, GSR distibutor, B16 oil pump

the other thing is, this is a daily driver, I live in phoenix, AZ and it gets 120 here during the summer time,

 

sooooo, what is your question? Anything in particular? maybe suspension or something,unless you already have it. We can offer advice on anything, as long as what we are being asked to offer advice on.

 

i would like to modify my engine.
upgrade to a b20 or get a stroker kit,
but keep it reliable,
sorry for not being detailed.
one thing i will do for sure is get skunk2 stage 2cams

 

crower does make a stroker kit for 2000, and it pushes displacement up to 2.2.
what you think guys? is it safe?

 

Quite obvious.....

Build it and turbo it. Big boost.

**** yea shamoo is right. You can build a perfectly reliable turbo set up with that kind of money. Sell some of your stuff and start over man. Get 440 injectors, hondata, good manifold, etc, etc, and boost her. Now if your heart is set on all motor then by all means go for it. For your 4k-5k allowance i would say boost would be the best bang for the buck.

 

suspension/handling-shocks springs strut/sway/tower bars and the rest on engine/performance and tuning IMO

 

I would have the engine balanced before I did anything, then I'd look at systematically upgrading the car based on what exactly you want. In your case, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in a thicker aluminum radiator and some stronger fans. In fact go ahead and get a GSR water pump as well (better safe than sorry).

If your looking at a general performance standpoint, I'd look into some mild suspension upgrades and a good set of tires. I'd also invest in a "quality" header and exhaust setup. What tranny do you have? If it's an LS, then have you thought about going to a B16 tranny? What about getting an LSD, or traction bars?

There are a lot of available options. Set a goal and work towards it.

 

Fast and reliable with that budget? Sell what you have now then take the money you already have and go K20.

 

i have a gsr tranny,
ls water pump,
b16 oil pump.
greddy sp2 header.

 

k20? hmmmm
always an option, any negatives in doing this?
