1. new radiator
2. apexi vafc2
3. skunk2 cam or crower or buddyclub 3+ (need vafc to tune) some valvetrain,springs
4. obd2 to obd1, obd1 ecu with chipped

6. overbore stock TB to 63 or 64mm
7. port and polish head...(if $1k is enough included labor)

8. need your help to lead to me the right path...thnakx

 

P&P the head if you can...great gains for any application...might as well do the IM a little too.

 

save up more and go turbo rather then buying those misc now.

 

please include the estimate cost...cuz i must cap my spend at 1G exactly

 

I'd try and find an ITR tranny if I were in your situation.

why is that....for LSD? more detail please

 

Your Gsr tranny is fine, LSD would help but if your making like 240whp it can be control by good tires. Best thing is to save up more and go turbo right away and then build later...

 

convince your mom to give you the $1,000 for christmas in cash and save the rest for the turbo.

LSD is one aspect, the fact that it uses multiple synchros on each gear as opposed to single synchros is nice, plus you get a tighter gear ratio. In addition, the GSR tranny has a fairly high price tag associated with it, so going to an ITR tranny would leave enough cash flow to go ahead and invest in a stronger clutch or lighter flywheel or something.

Note that this is my opinion.

all opinions and advices are welcome so feel free....no hurt but only help

 

are you absolutely set on buying performance mods? personally i would do some suspension mods (eg ominipower coilovers, itr rear sway, itr strut bar) or some get some new wheels/tires.

 

oh forgot about suspension i got front/gear strut bar, skunk2 coilover + tokico blue shocks....

no swap bars....they are nice and well worthy...i have my mind to them too

 

stolenteg is right, save up for turbo and dont buy misc. parts right now. going turbo is going to require a lot more than $1k. Or you could start buying parts for custom turbo instead of buying a preset one.

 

get a victor X manifold with bigger tb and some cams

 

My adivice would be to build head or block....things like block guard or sleeves, pistons, rods etc., and head with valves, springs, retainers, cams, etc. and i don';t know if oyu can do all that with only 1k but u can try lol but thats wut i would recommend

1k is too far from turbo setup...i need around 3k too for turbo....

 

I would get a nice set of cams and build the head that way you are ready for the boost when u get more money flowing in
