wats up ppl i have a 94 gsr in me 92 eg all motor with basic bolt ons. never been into boosting motors and am not familiar with the parts or wat should i do. i was indisisive on boosting my gsr or boosting a ls that i have sitting at home. i would prefer to boost my ls because it is a cheaper motor so if i can get help on how to boost wat to use n all that that would be great thanx. i have a turbo set up at home but am not sure wat is it the turbo has no letters on it. i have the downpipe wastegate blow off valve the turbo front mount intercooler the turbo manifold and all the piping lmk and thanx for the help. how can i find out the turbo size and all that. the turbo looks like an all right size

 

should have the ar stamped on it

 

wats the ar

 

take the housings off and measuare the compressor and turbine or just
take some pictures and post them up. the turbo should have some letters
or numbers on it some where though unless rust has gotten realy bad.

 

well i found a/r.63 on the turbo so does that mean something or helps find out wat is it thanx for your help

 

Not really...if you could take pictures of it, that might give us a better idea

 

heres a pic to be more helpfull hopefully

 

 

 

well this is the turbo hope it helps to find out wat it is the turbine is blue and the back of the turbo (the rusted part) it says a/r .63

 

sorry to rain on your parade but those parts are junk.
let me tell you what will happen.
you install junk parts with the help of honda-tech.you get it tuned.it runs for maybe a day and then **** starts breaking or......... falling off.......(welds)
you will be pissed,angry,mad and any other emotion you can think of and will only blame the closest people around.save yourself the headache/money and buy a quality turbo kit.

these wont fail,it will be enjoyable as opposed to a pain in the ***.
and for everyone thats going to reply to my post saying.
"do what you want,your car"
"youll be fine"
"build it first"
"some people dont have the money for proper kits"
there right do what you want.i dont care if you dont like my opinion.you asked for it.
and ...you wont be fine.this kit will fail and have you looking for another one/motor
if you dont have the money for a proper kit right now,dont bother.save.and while you save..search the site for info and learn about FI (forced induction) that way when you have the money,youll have the knowledge.

 

koo thanx for your opinion i did ask for it so thanx and now it gets me thinking but yet i dont really care about the motor im throwing it on if it blows i dont care so you think i should just give it a try and see if it blows or maybe itll work? and also about the junk are you talking about the turbo or the whole kit or are you talking about the header cause i can just buy wat ever is crappy

 

This kit does look like eBay trash of the lowest caliber. Not trying to rain on your parade, but I would recommend saving up for decent parts and piecing together a kit. It took me a year to piece my kit together while I've been driving a sleeved motor. It sucks, but it's worth it in the end. If I were you I would boost the GSR and keep the LS as a backup. GSR head flows much much better than a LS head also. Good luck and just look at the time your saving for parts as time to study on turbo charging. I have been learning and studying for over a year almost every day, and I still have only scratched the surface of all the possibilities out there. Once you have a general knowledge under your belt you will feel much more confident in turbo charging your car. It's much better to understand exactly whats going on under your hood than to have more hp and not understand it at all.

 

koo thanxs for your opinion but would i just have to change the turbo to a good one or the whole kit cause the pipping looks good and also the intercooler wat about the wastegate

 

The manifolds are worthless for the most part. They will crack under any real pressure. Also the wastegates are again trash. You pretty much need an entire new kit. I don't know about the piping for the IC I've heard they have horrible fitment issues. The IC again is more than likely worthless.

 

the ic? sorry not sure what that is lmk

 

I am all about doing it yourself, and saving money where ever you can, but I only recomend doing it with quality parts.
the manifold you have will prabably failed on startup. the turbo I never used one of those so I don't know, but from others experience its junk.
if you wanna build a good setup for low price check this site out http://www.tunertoys.com , you will also need to visit http://www.xenocron.com
just so you know by plugging these links in benefits me not a bit, just letting you know where to save on quality products.
in other words research and take your time, you will also find a lot of useful writings on the second link I posted. good luck and stay away from http://www.xspower.com ako ssautochrome

 

get a new manifold. if your on a tight budget just get a cast one the work so so
but are dependable. if the turbo doesnt have shaft play run it. the wastegate even
being a knock off will work just fine. youve got just about everything you need just get it tuned and have fun with what you have. you dont have to spend a ton of dough with an ls to make 250-300hp. just drop a couple hundred in it to get it
going and have some fun. t3s realy are great for a low hp turbo ls thats all stock.
if you want more than 300hp you will need entirely new turbo setup or some spray.
read the turbo ls posts there are almost 700 pages in it know.
