Hey all. Finding information about the things I want to know is rather hard. So I decided to just make an informed post.

Starting out with the intake system...

Which intake is the best? Short ram, or full cold air? Which brands are most popular?

Good Throttlebody, and which size?

A good Manifold. Blox seems to be good.

Good gasket from Hondata seems to be the best.

CTR cams and valvetrain seem to be the best

Keep the stock bottom end for cost's sake

Some good headers?

Catback. What sounds the best? (just kidding guys...)


As I have said. I have searched, but these are hard to find answers. I'm no noob to modding cars(gsx, and rustang owner-I know how to fix em). Just a slight noob at gsr's.

How would a modded gsr (like the one above) do against a relatively stock 04 gt, and a relatively stock rsx-s? On the highway of course.

 

.....wanna know the easiest and best way to find out whether its a good build or not? let me introduce u to my best friend. mr. search. https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch

 

You try to find a good intake by searching. I would have assumed I provided enough backround knowledge to validate the fact I searched. Which I have.

the info in this thread is overwhelming.

 

Too keep it basic

Short ram... ALMOST any brand (Or just go AEM).
Stock throttle body is fine for now.
Skunk2, or blox if you have to go cheap.
Stock gasket, but hondata is better if you wanna shell out the cash.
CTR/ITR cams are good... i like them... but there are ALOT more avaiable too.
Stock bottom end is good for alot of basic applications.
GOOD headers: Hytech/Mugen... Pretty good would be JDM ITR(Or DC JDM 4-1).
ALOT of exhausts are good. I prefer quiet but powerful, so I say RSR or Apexi

With these mods and basic tuning, you should be able to hang with either of those cars. It all depends on driver, those new stangs are quick though!

 

intake system... jus get any pipe to fit your car and slap k&n filter on. i recommend cold-air.

good headers... hytech, comptech, bisi etc.

throttle bodyy... itbs if you can afford and are gonna go for a nice build.

ctr valvetrain would be good but i think gs-r would be fine.

if the gasket that your wanting to find out for is the im gasket then yes hondata is good

catback... depends on how big of a pipe your tryinna run.

intake manifold... i say jus get a skunk there pretty cheap and perform pretty well. but i did see an im that was bad *** from AIR but its like $1300. carbon fiber tho.

if you wanna know how this would do versus rsx or mustang gotta let me know what kinda car its in. but for sure if this is in almost any honda thats even somewhat light you should beat a rsx now the mustang on the other hand good luck.

hope this helps. many people may not agree with my recommendations but thats jus my .02

 

Thanks for the recommendations. I plan on getting a gsr within the next month. I drive an 04 GT, and can pull on my friend's rsx-s. But I realize the gsr is about 200 pounds lighter than the rsx-s. My friend with the type S has intake, headers, catback, hondata, and getting some agressive cams soon.

would it be wise to raise the redline with an IM and cams? I will also look at some headwork and putting in CTR pistons and rods in the block, seeing it isn't too terribly expensive.

 

keep your redline under 9k if you want any type of longevity/reliability out of your engine
