Had a del sol d16y7 stock pushing 175whp and 161trq at 6500rpm on a 50 trim turbo boosting 7 psi. Loved the power and ran 8.4 at Irwindale speedway ( 1/8th mile ).

But I think its time to go ALL MOTOR!! Especially because my new project is a heavy ej1.

I got a GSR from a friend who decided to go k20. For $1500 he gave me:

GSR long block

Block has type r pistons and bored .025 over
-Lightweight flywheel
Head has type r cams
-skunk2 IM, AEM fuel rail, AEM FPR, RC 440cc injectors, type r throttle
body

Im new to this seen and my end goal is to run mid 13's or lower on a all motor daily driver. Help me get started guys. Without breaking the pockets what can I do to reach that goal? I checked ALOT of build threads but Im looking for how much parts and labor will roughly cost. Talking about a 2500 budget

 

good header, good tune, and gearing. You can upgrade your cams as well. Gearing will be the biggest noticeable difference for you

 

Any input on valvetrain?

 

whatever cam you go with use valve train that can handle it. From your budget i wouldn't bother with it. Spend the money on the trans. You have a pretty solid motor already. A tune and a trans that has upgraded gears will get you to your goals if you can drive

 

yea a good header and a good ems. as far as tranny b16 lsd with ls 5th or a type r.
