what performance mods to get under $2k?

[AXT88888]

I have a 97 GSR with intake, headers, exhaust, pulleys, spark plugs/wires, wheels, shocks, springs. I am debating what to do next, but i do know i want more performance. What do you suggest to get, i only have $2,000 right now, and i know i cant get turbo for that. Please list mods you suggest. Thanks.

you can piece together your own turbo kit for less than $2000 easily. or you can get some nitrous, or... supercharger, but supercharger has some bad reps on this forum

i'd save up another $500-$1000 for a nice turbo.

yes u should save a little bit more for a t/c kit. might as well sell your intake and headers to get some extra dough save up

hrmmm...caught another mistake by u, unless he's gotta V6 integra, then he's gonna have a header.



j/k, if ur tight on cash and want turbo, then don't turbo. save and do it right or ur gonna end up spending a lot more money on a new motor etc...

what do u guys think about an intake manifold, throttle body, vtech controller, fuel pump, injectors, fuel rail, regulator? worth the money or not? how much HP you think i could get outa that if i dyno tune it then?

[AXT88888]

i would also put stage 2 skunk 2 cams and cam gears with that setup

don't expect a major leap in hp with all those, and that includes the skunk cam gears. i kinda understand why a lot of people don't go turbo. it's not that they can't afford it, think about. if they can afford a car they can surely afford a t/c kit. the secret is just being patient and save. your lucky u have twice as much as i do, so if i were u i would just save up a little bit longer. i noticed some of the guys who were into racing before i was all they use to talk about were turbo and turbo kits on their cars, but when it comes to getting one that a different story. when they save up about $500, instead of saving for better gains, they would get impatient and go out to get what i thought weren't very beneficial when it come to hp like tachcometers, pulleys, manifolds,racing seats, speakers, etc. etc..

if your intersted i know a guy whose selling a brand new stage 2 rev hard turbo kit for about 2800 and that includes shipping. this is what im saving for, but it's really hard when i also have to pay for college.

oh and about worrying about your motor u can alway lower the boost until u everything set up for higher boost to get extraordinary hp gains. or just buy the t/c and build the rest of your motor then install the kit. the main thing is to get the t/c in the first place, after that objective is complete, everything else shouldn't be too difficult.

Here ya go http://www.mmrusa.com/gudehead.htm
Do that, upgrade the fuel system, dyno tune, & upgrade your rear sway bar. Head work is a great mod.
