I just need help on my engine internals. im looking at doin a 20 thousand over job only because i want one lol( kidding) im looking at about 10-12 psi. Can i get a list of exactly what you would buy to acheive this feat. what turbo would i need to get a realible motor within a reasonable budget. This will need to be reliable(duh).

Not this shit again :wallbash ...

That being said, go read every post in the TURBO forum,especially this stickied one at the top. Use the damn search button, then come back when you have specific questions.

This site has more than enough knowledge, you just need to make an effort to look for it.

As the great Dr1665 said, "we'll show you where the fridge is but you gotta get your own damn beer"

ban

then sell it your car so we dont have to put up wth your stupidity..and then go blow up ur gsx..


there is no "magic list" it all depends on whatYOU want and what YOUR goals are... 3g will not get u a built engine with a good trubo "kit" and u mention howell only, um did u not see theres at least 2 othe "kit" makes out there...not to mention 7696779 billion differnt turbos/setups u can use, since you want to do it your self..

yelling and demanding at the the people who would like to help you (if you can help yourself a little) will not get you ne where but banned.

exactly what you need follows:

to pull your head out of your ass..

you need a turbo
down pipe
wide band o2
EGT
fuel pressure
oil pressure
SOME SORT OF FUEL SET UP
manifold
Wastegat- again depends on setup if you could read..
bov
intercooler and pipes

oil pump,
forged pistons
new rods
muffler bearings
new rod bearings/and other bearing
MLS head gasket
head studs



now, since u searched soooo much im sure u already know theres more to be added to that list..and i was VAUGE for a reson..alot of those things depend and will change based on turbo or setup you choose...so we cant tell you what you want..

dont be a dick

Well you're looking at spending at least $700 on rods & pistons. Add 3.5k for a stage 2 Hahn kit w/ FMIC. You're up to $4200.
And from what I have read some of those parts need to be upgraded anyway. So, maybe, it would be in your best interest to: as you said, sell your car and opt for a GSX. Also it's not wise to come onto a page and start cursing the guys who will try to help you out. I'm still new here myself; however many of these guys have bent over backwards trying to help me out. Keep it friendly and use the search button.

GEEZ! What the fuck is up with all these newbs lately? just coming in here, using horrible spelling, grammar and punctuation, and then expecting us to all put down what we're doing and have used the search function to figure out just to help them. I'm getting tired of it.

Heres a list of what we reccomend anyone going boosted for the first time on moderate boost levels

Wiseco Pistons 8.8:1
Eagle Rods
Clevite or ACl Bearing Sets
Cometic Headgasket
ARP Headstuds
Stainless Valves
1 Step Colder Plugs

That right there will be able to handle an easy 15psi and then some...

This type of bullshit WILL NOT FLY here! Don't come in demanding answers and expect to get them. If you want to learn about the platform and work with it and are willing to make intelligent posts and act like an adult we will help otherwise you might as well just sell your car now. Like said above, ask specific questions don't ask for a list everyone on this site can give you a list and they're all gonna be different. Search more and decide what's best for you. I'm locking this before it gets out of hand.
