I even had to trim down my thin FAL fan for that compressor housing.. AND had to shave my block a bit... it's friggin' huge. :naughty:

In the world of aftermarket modification, don't ever expect anything to just fit perfectly without any work. Sometimes you get lucky and don't have any trouble, but most of the time, it takes a little work to get everything together. That's not a knock on the companies who make the products, it's just a fact of life. No 2 cars are the same, so what fits perfect in one will be almost perfect in another. </rant>
I like the Greddy kit except their fuel managment choice. Greddy uses 330cc injectors and a black box to help out. A good solution but 330's just really aren't big enough and I've seen blown up GS-R's with Greddy kits (most of them doing something stupid and without a boost gauge).

all of u make a very good point and i thank you. but this stil will be my daily driver except for in the winter, and i am worried about reliability and how safe it is goin to be .also, i live in a place where some people havent even heard of turbos and my father would nt be much help either. so i would have to do it by myself while sadly lookin at the manual. yes, i am not proud of it, but it is what i am goin to have to do. so i must ask, what are some good kits made for my car that are reliable and will give me some good power with out needing to beef up my clutch or build up my motor. thank you all for any suggestions
I suggest you save your money and buy a B18C1 swap first. Get the motor in, running properly and your comfortable with it. If you really think it needs more power, consider buying a turbo. My hatch ran 14.4 all day long. I know that doesn't sound fast when people throw around 11-12 second times on the internet but trust me, it's a huge difference out on the street from a 16 second stock car. I got mine running and concentrated on upgrading the brakes and suspension before it was smashed. I wanted to build it up with a set of 11 to 1 pistons and some new cams but never got a chance.
I don't know how much work you've down with cars or how comfortable you are, but doing a swap is a great way to learn the more advanced self-taught lessons. Once you've bacially taken your entire car apart and put it back together yourself you'll feel a lot more comfortable about trying to piece together a turbo or whatnot (not saying you'll be successful, just more confident). If you do decide to go with a pre-fab kit (and there's not shame in it, just more expensive) I've always liked the Drag kits. The turbo is a little large in my opinion and a boost dependant FPR isn't the perfect solution, but it's a great starting point.

how difficult is it to do the swap. i mean, am going to be hitting my elf in the face at three o'clock in the morning looking at all the wires or is it simply drop in and plug in. would i keep the origianl ecu and harness, or use the gsr harness and ecu, or modify one of the 2. also, what about axles and connections of that sort with suspension, will i have problems there. i understand it will be a little difficult my first time, but i do have an engine lift and PLENTY of tools, but my father only knows how to work on muscle cars, hes never touched anything with wires cluttered all over it. so i will be basicaly on my own for the wiring, it kind of scares me
