I have a bone stock GSR that I am going to yank and get built for boost. I am looking for at *least* 350 WHP and I want it to be reliable as I am only going to do this once. I have saved quite a bit on cash for this, as I am going to need it. HT, please criticize my build:

-sleeved to 84mm with darton sleeves
-84mm arias pistons (9:1)
-crower rods
-acl main and rod bearings
-arp main and head studs
-skunk2 springs and retainers
-ctr cams
-supertech valves
-3 angle valve job
-full port and polish
-RC 1000cc Peak and Hold Injectors
-DRAG Kit
-Tuned on Crome

of course, everything else comes along with it, clutch, flywheel, lsd, fuel pump, etc.. I just hit the main points. It might be a bit overkill, but i do not want anything to break, and I want room to grow if I decide to up boost, or move to a bigger turbo. Thank for the opinions.

 

no one?

 

Looks like you're building a solid setup

With the extent of the rest of your build, and I may get flamed for saying this, but you may be better off with another kit, or piecing your own together..
The Drag and Revhard kits are great to get started, but with the rest of your build, the Drag kit will hinder you. The 2.5" downpipe is going to rob power, as you will most likely grow out of the turbo pretty quickly.

 

that setup will take you into the 500-600whp range with the right turbo and tuning. Dont hold that motor back with a crappy drag kit.

 

For the money of the Drag kit and the quality of the parts included i would highly suggest buying a kit of more quality

Such as Full Race, or Peak Boost for more of a complete kit.

I agree and agree with the other two posts. You could always piece together your own kit also.

 

thanks for the replies guys. so if i go about putting together my own kit, what type of turbo/mani would yall recommend? I want to retain ac and ps. With that much power, I could care less how much the ac is gonna take away..its texas, it gets hot.

 

Go buy a ramhorn ac and ps compatible with a 3" downpipe. A 60-1 turbo or bigger, custom intercooler, 44mm wastegate and 50m bov on honda-tech sponsors for 550. and everything else you is simple stuff. but you do have motor that can take you far with the right setup and tuning. good luck

 

Full race has a ac/ps kit. You will have to get a new upper a/c line made. With the a/c manifolds, clearence for a filter for the turbo inlet is slim. I had an intake custom made for a 4" k&n filter. I guess what i'm sayin is just keep in mind keeping a/c is a bitch but it can be done.
