i have a 98 gsr and i am going n/a obvisously....... but yea anyway.. i have an intake, exhaust, header, and soon to put on a intake manifold and throttle body... but yea i was gonna go cams next but i hear sometimes your car wont idle.. because ur compression is to low ? ..... anyway yea i was told to put pistons and a head gasket to build up the compression a bit and then go cams... but i just want to hear everyone else opinion... so guys let me know what u guys would do.... i was planning to put soem stage 3s cams... probably from skunk2...but yea let me knoe what u guys think........ BUMP

 

i wouldnt go witha stage 3 cam with a 1.8. if u build the bottom a nice stage 2 cam would be nice. i heard great reviews with toda B's-

get cams. blox, skunk, jun...whatever anything in the stage 2 or B. and then get a vafc along with a fpr (and a gauge). after massing all the parts, install and DYNO.
you'll be happy for another 2~3months. good luck

 

thanks .. BUMP

 

yeah, I'd stick with some stage 2 cams, if you run stage 3 cams your going to need some serious compression...research man, there is a ton of information here!

 

yea ... im not sure .. i have some more researching to do i guess but yea anyways... do u guys think i should start building the bottem end first ?? i am not sure what i want to do yet .... ive seen things about the b20... but not sure how to get that done... can someone explain ?? ive tried researching but i dont really understand... i was gonna put some ctr pistons or je... i was first gonna go with itr but i hear the ctr can handle more... so i just want to knoe what u guys think... BUMP

 

honestly, i'd stick with your gsr motor, it's a great platform. ctr pistons would probably be way too much compression for you.

The first thing you should figure out is your goals for the car. HP, track, strip, budget. Figure that stuff out, and go from there.
