Im in the processof building a LS/Vtec Turbo eg hatch. everything is done up to the clutch and tranny. ok so here the set up. 84.5mm bored and sleeve ERL block, je pistons, eagel rods, JG full p&p head, over sized valves and srings and retainers. thats the basicstheres other stupid things too. and im looking to be on 25+ psi. now my problem is what to use to get the most power to the wheels. I need a clutch, tranny, and suspention. Im looking for any sugestions for those parts. thanks for your help

 

Get a stage 3 4 or 6 ***** clutch with extra heavy pressure plate.

Si gear box with 2-5 gears double syncroed

Maybe a ground control coilover setup and tokiko(spelling) struts for suspension.

Spend the $350 and get one of those track bar/anti-wheel hop systems that bolts in place of the front tow hooks and connect to the front LCA's

 

How about an LSD?

 

I had planned on a LSD

 

LSD, good tires, clutch, suspension...

 

depends on what kind of money we are talking and what you will be doing with the car.

 

of course i want to spend as little as possible but i no its going to cost a lil bit. i want the car to be as reliable as possible. I have been looking into a 6 puck clutch, ls tranny with a LSD, Level five DSS axles, and maybe yellows with a custom spring.
the car will mostly be street driven but will also be at the drag strip

 

any more help???

 

help

 

You seem like you already have it figured out, what more help do you need?

 

if you're running a turbo u're not goin to want to run an si transmission the gears are too short and u wont be able to optimize that 25psi. Thats a lot of power going to waste, but yes, a good drag launch suspension, like from skunk 2. LSD's make a world of difference, and of course a good clutch. I know you said it but a good tune will make the difference winners and losers. Keep that in mind, Especially when running that kind of psi.

 

thanks for the in put. i have decided to got with a 6 puck clutch and heavy pressure plate (brand undecided more input welcome), a Hydro LS trans w/LSD (looking for LSD if you have one for sale) DSS level 5's(Also looking for a good set) , Brembo GSR breaks, and koni yellows with custom springs. ANd alot of tuning to come.
