You haven't heard about this yet???? Dude, it drops panties in 3 seconds flat, and gurantees multiple O's every time.

Nice build so far BTW, paint looks nice!

I know its kinda bad to ask here but on a stock head/block running the Greddy plenum and Q45 TB, I know my gt2860rs can only flow for a max 350WHP .
I'm also mounting my greddy vspl FMIC up side down mounted inside the radiator support to cut at least 3 feet of piping because I refuse to cut my sweet Silvia Ks Aero bumper to fit the FMIC
Any idea if it will help spool faster ( Greddy Intake = Laaaag) since I will be losing bottom end some to gain up top because of the giant intake?

if you don't like the lag on tiny turbo like gt28 then turbo car is not for you. You better off with big v6 or v8.

Thanks for the smart comment but not to say I dont like v8s but i'm looking for a balance between response and top end so for you to tell me to ditch the turbo engine is not really answering my question. Lag to me is hitting boost past 3,500 RPM. I know some guys hit full boost at 4,500 RPM and have ridiculous top end power.

I am trying to achieve a linear torque curve where I have response from a small turbo and can maximize its breathing when it starts to run out of breath. The reason im bringing my FMIC closer is because I choose to have less turbo lag thus creating more response. I know the Stock Intake Manifold and Exhaust manifold are both super reliable up to 400 wheel with no issues what so ever. I also know my 740cc injectors are overkill for my setup.

What I was wondering was if my Greddy Intake Plenum with the Q45 Throttle Body would add a lot to my turbo lag. Your answer was very helpfull though, I think ill just sell all my SR parts and goodies and spend another 10K putting a V8 in. LOL

You mean EMO's, Extended MAssive Orgasms.

Ok so here are some things I have added :

ST Sway Bars front n back in Hulk Green
Optima Red Top BAttery
Moroso Battery Relocation Box
Moroso Batt Kill Switch
Cusco Shifter Bushing
C's Short Shifter
S15 7 layer exhaust mani gasket
CS Thermal Intake Gasket
Magnetic oil drain plug
Spec Lightweight Chromoly Flywheel
OEM Rear MAin Seal
Auto to Manual braided Clutch line
CS 250cc Oil Catch Tank
CS GT series oil restrictor
SPL Solid Clutch Pivot


I also purchased a Nitrus kit with no tank and dont worry, I dont plan on running Nitrus on my SR, if anything I will go Meth but the A/N lines are baller and I can most likely use them to make some other fittings because like a lot of people here I'm a big fan of braided lines n fittings


Future Plans:
------------

Chase Bays Brake Lines for Stock booster set up
Chase Bays Power Steering line kit
AEM Water Meth Kit


I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things. Here is my dilemma :

I would like to drop my motor in to start my wire tuck on the engine harness and body harness.

I'm going to be buying a new clutch and here are my options :


ACT NS1-XTSS
Exedy Stage 2 3puck

Now in order to tune I would need a clutch thats broken in on the dyno. Its not really ideal to break in a clutch on a dyno or dyno on a brand new clutch. I guess my only option is to boost until my stock clutch slips. Then upgrade once the engine set up is tuned. I plan on either going with a GT2871r with .64 A/R then when I rebuild the motor a GT3071 with a top mount mani.

The educated guess would be to use the clutch I got in there because its only got a thousand kilometers and Exedy rates it for being good for 257ft/lb which I have been told is more like 280 ft/lb. I see torque numbers from mid 200ft/lb to lower to mid 300 ft/lb being made with an SR thats got a big intake and cams.

To buy a clutch and glaze it on the dyno would be pretty stupid and changing a clutch on a SR is less than half a days worth of work on the ground.

So anyone want to chime in and tell me what I should look out for while putting this bad boy back together?

The plan is to get a base tune from Steve Shadows for my PFC. If I can break a clutch in on his base tune before I can go to a dyno then I would be really happy and will just order the clutch and put it in before I drop my motor in.

How much boost will a Stage 1 Exedy hold with a GT2860RS .86 A/R before I fry it to bits?

I'm guessing at 10-14 psi I would reach the clutches max torque even though I know SRs are not torque monsters. Any suggestions would be taken in and seriously appreciated.

Pictures coming soon
