MABYE down the road build the motor but for now(over the winter) go turbo. MY QUESTION IS: is there any here w/ a turbo GSR, and what sizes should i be looking for. I see all the stuff on EBAY and hear they crack and what not. I dont mind waiting and getting something better! SO IF POSSIBLE what sizes, intake and export, intercoolrer, size piping, and anything else that would help would be great. BTW i have a SKUNK2 Intake mani and plan on getn a throttle body soon. thanks for the help guys. CYA
Wow. Quite an entrance I am getting.

Anyways, it would be nice to know how much you have to spend on this whole project and how far you want to go into building the engine up.
If you have good knowledge of what is required to piece a kit together and can do some custom fabrication to get all the intercooler piping to fit and the downpipe to line up correctly, that would be your best cost effective method. Otherwise, you should look into a premade kit of some sort like Drag, Revhard, etc.
Your main concern should be in the engine managment and fuel areas. Make sure that you get larger injectors that will support your power goals like 550cc or larger and a competent engine management system like Hondata or a cheaper alternative of Crome or Uberdata.
Sizing of the turbo is also important in how much power you want to make and how quickly you want it to spool.
I suggest you research a bit more into what you want to do about engine and fuel management and what size turbo would be well suited for your application. The rest of the components are trivial at this point in time.
