Ok guys, this is my 1st build and I need any suggestions before I put my motor back together. Here are the list of mods I have:

gsr block with stock bore
CTR pistons with stock gsr reconditioned rods and arp bolts and nuts.
b16 tranny
arp head studs
eagle crankshaft
oem headgaskt (3 layer)
stock gsr head with skunk 2 stg. 2 camshafts and skunk 2 camgears
skunk 2 valve springs and retainers
supertech flatface valves
stage 2 clutch and 8 lb flywheel
oem injectors and fuel pump
new oem gsr oil pump and oil pickup tube.
gsr IM
JSR jdmshit header (mugen replica) with test pipe
2.5" exhaust piping with rsr ex-mag axleback
plan on getting a phearble.net ecu

Ran out of money or else I would've gotten more mods, but any suggestions/help for this build would be appreciated. Would 93 pump gas be good enough? This car will be sort of a daily driver. How high of rpms you guys think I can take this motor? Think I will have major valve clearances with these pistons? Like I said any help/suggestions are welcome. Thanx

better get a tune quick....your lookin at like 13.2:1 compression

 

I don't really know any where to get my car tuned. I live in Iowa. Any fellow Iowans or anybody close by please give me some recommended places to tune nearby.

 

Any suggestions to what size injectors to get and what intake manifold would best suit this motor?

 

i agree with penguin... your gonna blow that really quicc unless you get tuned on the quiccness.. ur compression gonna be in the 13s

 

hmm...I do have a set of p30 pistons laying around. This is sort of going to be my daily driver, so might change my mind. Would this setup be ok to drive daily anyone?

 

With no tuner in your area I wouldn't do the PCT pistons, the P30's would also be pushing it. In my opinion, and this is just me, anything over 11.1 compression with cams and header needs to be tuned. You're talking about running S2S2's, which are a large cam, and a 4-1 header. Don't get me wrong, you can run a 11.1 gsr with S2S2/4-1 header without tuning, but it's not going to run anywhere NEAR what it could....and probably live half the life. I think a better question would be: "What would be the most aggressive gsr build I can do without having to tune it?" My answer: Type r cams, fresh block with U.S. ITR pistons, a decent exhaust(Ex-mag is a good choice) and a 4.9 FD with lsd in your tranny. S2S1's or a BC3+ are good cams with mild motors, but I'm not sure they would be much better than a type r being un-tuned. Can I ask what the need of a Eagle crank is for? Maybe keep your stock valves and have a 3-angle done to them?

 

Got an eagle crank, cuz I got a hell of a deal for it and was hard to find another gsr crank. As for valves, I had a bent intake valve, so just went with supertech flat face valves. Yea, Im just going to go with the p30's to be alittle safer.

 

Anybody have a good break in method for my build? I've searched and diff. opinions out there, should I break her in driving around, or on a dyno? You guys think I can drive about 50 miles to get to a dyno to tune her? Anybody?
