Hey guys...need some advice: I'm gonna be adding a few things to my setup in the spring. I need some advice on what to buy. Here's what I need:

Intake manifold
Cams
Cam gears
Clutch and Flywheel
Axles
Headgasket
Exhaust

I have the following setup:

95 GSR Motor and tranny
9:1 JE pistons
Blockgaurd
Zex plugs
Zex inline
9:1 Vortec FMU
Garret T04E Turbo
Turbonetics Wastegate
Spearco intercooler

Everything else is stock and has less than 5000 miles. Please give opinions on brands and types of products to buy. Thanks.

 

Intake: VictorX
Cams: Crower Turbo or stock GSR
Cam gears: Crower, Skunk, just not AEM
Clutch: Action Stage II KS, stock flywheel
Axles: DSS
Headgasket: Cometic
Exhaust manifold: FFGeoff full race mani or inline pro cast SS
Downpipe: Custom 3 inch
Exhaust: Thermal 3 inch catback

 

get those nasty *** ZEX plugs out of there and get some NGK BKR-7E11s!!

 

Whats wrong with the Zex plugs?

 

But before you do anything else you should ditch the FMU and get Hondata or AEM or something better than an FMU.

 

Get some NGKs first, and get some proper fuel management! AEM or Hondata!

 

Intake manifold- skunk 2 or type r w/ type r throttle body
Cams-type R
Cam gears-stock. (adjustable one are useless. we set ours at 0)
Clutch and Flywheel-tilton dual disc if you have money to waste.
Axles-drive shaft shop stage 3 atleast
Headgasket-stock
Exhaust- open if you can get away with it.
Plugs-ngk 4091 heat range 7
Engine management (hondata or Haltech) By the way papdakis doesnt even use the AEM EMS in his own car. Its garbage!!!

 

Only problem....I can't find anyone around that can tune Hondata or Haltech....anybody know anybody?

 

If you have lotsa money, like 10k to spend, send me half. If you have less than 10k, send it all to me. See there, you can spend it all in one swipe.

 

intake manifold:victorx with 8 injector setup
cams:integra type r
cam gears:inline pro
clutch and flywheel:clutch masters stage 4 and billet flywheel
axles:depending on power, dss stage 5's
headgasket:stock
exhaust:any 2.5 for the street's cause i'm guessing at the track you'll be taking it off

 

may i ask why, how much power do you make? I can't stand when people say get rid of the fmu. I make 326hp and 221ft lbs of torque to the wheels using an fmu setup. Only boosting 10psi and using a stock head.

EDIT: I also wouldn't ditch it for the hondata, i'd go for haltech. But to keep it nice and streetable, the fmu setup is fine and with bigger injectors going in hopefully this week, we'll make 400 to the wheels.

Nice and streetable you can't beat Hondata. Haltech is a nice system and very streetable also, but it also cost more then hondata. Well in any event with either one of these systems you can ditch the fmu. I hate fmu's, pick up a nice aeromotive fpr.

Have a nice day!

 

It's not about power it's about reliability. Low fuel pressure plus large injectors is more reliable than high fuel pressure and smaller injectors. But both will work.

 

Can't agree more! GET RID OF THEM! I ran them for a month and was wondering why I wasn't making much power...well....I switch to NGKs and NO comparison and the Zex plugs were going to probably melt soon...ick.

 

Which NGKs should I run?

 

I thought the place that built your car guaranteed you like 400 hp already or something like that. Anyway, how are you tuning your gargantuan injectors and fmu setup?

 

They said I could reach 400whp once I added the proper parts and spent some time on the dyno...

 

Buy my turbbo kit

SFP CUstom t4 turbo manifold
HKS Wastegate
Garret t4 60-1 turbo
CUstom 36x11 intercooler
TUrboxs bov

pm me for price all brand new.

 

I already got a turbo...custom kit but good enough for me. Thanks anyway...

 

ask FFGEOFF about ZEX plugs, and what he thinks about em, and how they washed one of his whole motors out because they are junk...

 

Intake manifold:jg edelbrock
Cams:gsr or turbo cams
Cam gears: i prefer stock or skunk2
Clutch and Flywheel:lightened flywheel, puck sprung clutch
Axles:?
Headgasket: stock
Exhaust: thermal 3"


give any excess to me!
