Hi i was wondering what upgrades would make my gsr swap accelerate faster? I'm interested in acceleration more so than top speed, so if you have anything to add please do thanks!

u should port out the vtec pressure switch so vtec hits harder

then maybe an intake manifold, CAI, cams, and exhaust manifold.

but definity port the vtec pressure switch first

Drive it off a cliff, you reach terminal velocity in about 20 seconds.

You want to accelerate faster start by putting more proformance parts in your motor and you should accelerate faster. Easy

Greddy turbo kit should do the job for you but with 310cc injectors you will still be running lean on 6-8 psi so make sure upgrade to 550cc or so.

is there anyplace online you guys suggest to get a turbo kit? ive looked a tad on ebay but im sure you guys know somethin better. So better fuel injectors, what else? Would i need lower compression pistons? The gsr is already pretty low and only 8psi of boost you think itd be ok?
