I have a 95 RS or LS. The one with the sunroof and cruise control
I have upgraded the headlights, interior gauge lights, and a CAI

I plan on buying th exhaust, headers, cross/drilled brake disks, and maybe going turbo. I have about 500 save.

Does anybody have any suggestions on what to do next?
All are welcome
Thanks

 

What are your goals? I see you already have a budget wich is good, but is this a daily driver, drag car, etc... Need more details to give you a straight answer.

 

I'm still in college. This is my daily driver until i get my 350Z, which wont be until like 1-2 years. But anyways i wanted to get close to 200 HP. My max budget which i can get to in like 2-3 months no problem is like 1000

 

sorry but this drives me nuts. when are we going to learn our cars only have one header not headers meaning plural?

 

oh and by the way your never going to reach anywhere close to 200hp with minor bolt ons on a ls unless you go lsvtec. and your wasting your money on drilled rotors unless you like to spend money and get less performance.

 

save up for a used greddy turbo kit then get a good tune..very good for drivability and stuff

 

build your own turbo dont buy kits waste of money.. another waste of money is drilled rotors they dont really do anything with your stock calipers..

boost your compression ratio and turbo=]
i dont think you'll be able to reach 200HP
maybe like 180 turbo with and full cat?
will cost you if your lucky build your own turbo 1000ish <--if your lucky

Decide now if you are gonna go turbo, if so, don't buy A HEADER.

 

Can you run me through the process of building my own turbo and stuff?
I know to increase the compresison ratio i need to replace the piston heads
Is there anything else i should know about?
Thanks

 

gotta kknow what your doing there are like pistons that are kinda like for turbo so if you have lots of money get pistons maybe get a new oil pan and water hoses just to be safe and then turbo it

search custom turbo im sure you'll find a lot of results.

I don't think you like, no what like you're like doing like.
OP Don't listen to this guy.
You should start reading around on turbos especially in the F/I forum. Just do a search and you'll find what you'll need. Don't buy anything yet until you know about your turbo setup.

if you're gonna increase your compression make sure you have the fuel to compensate

If going the turbo route, you normally want to lower your compression ratio

This thread is funny.

To the OP, decide what you route you want to go for. then SEARCH from there. There are a lot of useful information in here. One thing is for sure, you will need to save up a lot more $$$.

You hace to know all the parts you will need for a turbo kit
1.turbo
2.manifold
3.management
4.intercooler
5.blow off valve
6.injectors
7.downpipe
8.internal or external wastegate
9.oil lines
10.probably won't last long on stock clutch
11.intercooler piping

You're also going to have to figure out what turbo to go with and what engine management to use.
Once you figure that out, then you can start looking for parts. But I don't think you'll want to increase the stock compression, as someone else has stated.

 

the more you plan, the more you save.

listen to this guy!
whoever said you need to 'increase' your compression for boost...GOOD LUCK with that...a LS is stock with 9.2:1 CR, which is great for boost!!

$1000 is a pretty DECENT start if you're planning on boosting....but you need to save up some more cash.
