you should take a look at some of the setups in this forum....There should be more than enough info.

But to give you an idea,
cams, pistons, valvetrain, engine management, etc.

 

if it were me;

higher compression OE pistons - 345 presed on
valvetrain - 250
cames - 500-750
IM -200-300
header of your choice - ???
the rest on tuning/fuel management

 

thanx for the info, keep it coming.

 

if your goal was 200 whp, you wouldn't really need to touch the block. you could fully build your head (port polish valvetrain cams) then invest in a good header. port matched intake manifold and a good feul system is good also. engine management you can use uberdata/chrome to save you money.

I'm gonna agree, money invested in a solid port/polish job, proven cams/valvetrain, and a solid header would be money very well spent, get your mani port matched as well and maybe toss a thinner headgasket on for some compression.

 

thanx. so r u guys saying that i wouldn;t need to go pistons? or that if 2 g is all i got to spend then i might as well just concentrate on the head itself. i wanna know wat i cna buy with 2 g to get the most out of it. i am no NA guy, i have a gsr turbo, so kinda learning my stuff on all motor and wat makes more power.... but thanx for the input.

If i were you i would cams-500,valvetrain-300, anr header-700, your last 500 with getting any port work you can like a vavle job and basic porting. But your still going to need an engine managment system and lots of tunning to get the best out of this set-up.

 

and out of that set up wat kinda power can u expect? so im guessing his dc header aint; on anyone's list huh?

 

its possible to make 200whp from where ur starting, but not easy. unless u can do a lot of the work urself, ur not gonna hit ur hp/$ goal.

however, for like 3k u can do it easy. while an an-r header is nice, ur dc header will work for what u need. the an-r header is gonna squeeze out that extra hp to put u just over the 200 range. but if uve got the dc already, stick w it and spend more money on the head and/or p&p.

 

hytech header and hondata.

 

thanx for all the great info ppl.

 

where did this 200whp come from?????

i love how thats the new magical number.... he asked how to best spend his money not how to attain 200whp.

sorry to get off track, i still stand by my earlier input

 

id go with ctr pistons can get them cheap online
headwork and valvetrain if you hit 2gs then you will be perpared for the next step then once money allows get cams and good header and ems and you will be where u need to be

 

how bout the ITR piston? would they b a favor over the CTR?

depends, whos tunin', what fuel you runnin'?

 

i need some help with this motor swap im working on....ive got a ls block that is sleeved. im looking for a gsr head. i also want to know what compression i should run for a turbo setup. i have a t3-t4 turbo which is capable of 20-25 pnds of boost i plan on runnin between 18-20 pounds i need to know what would be the best things to do to the block,head and other stuff to get the most power out of my motor. im also getting hondata soon and a new tranny with lsd what will be the best thing i can do to get the most power. plz e-mail me at destroyinthepavement@yahoo.com with all your guys responses thanks

 

this is totaly off topic but u should run 9:1 compression and go with cp piston.

as far as my topic, the fuel management will probably just b uberdata or crome. so now trying to decide whether to use itr or ctr piston.

 

Get a good set of cams and valvetrain plus hondata. That should a least get you 20+hp. I would also say get it pnp but you only have 2g to spend. If you had 3g to spend it be a different story. Good luck though.

 

Personally, for a street driven car i would go with the ITR over the CTR. And if you have 2g's you'd be better off getting a good valve job rather than a full p&p

 

any recommendation for head work, any other then portflow.com?
