Default GSR build help...

First of all I want to thank you for checking my thread... I am getting ready to start ordering my parts for my GSR I've got for my CRX. I just need some feedback from more experienced people to make sure I'm going to reach my power goals and whether or not you all think I'll be safe out there on the street. Now, I've just received the last of my 20k bonus from the army and I'm wanting to get this motor build and tuned by next summer. So here's my parts list (reminder: I havent ordered ANY parts yet, so PLEASE give me any suggestions)

BBK Intake Manifold
Unorthodox Underdrive pulleys
Greddy timing belt
Buddy Club Head Gasket
Full Race Radiator
Full Race Radiator fan
Fluidampr Street Damper
Skunk2 Stage 3 Camshaft
Buddy Club Valve Retainer
Skunk2 Valve Springs
JE Turbo pistons/ Eagle Turbo Rods
Eagle Crank
Venom Super Cool HP Fuel Pump
Skunk2 Fuel Rail
HKS Adjustable Fuel pressure regulator
Venom High Flow Injectors 69lbs/hr
ZEX EFI Wet Nitrous System
Full Race Stage 4 Turbo Kit

That's the main build, I've got some other little stuff I'm going to order but I don't have time to go through everythign... PLEASE help me out... I just need some advice so just let me know if I should swap some parts out to get more power or if I really don't need certain things... Thanks again...

You never listed your power goals or what the purpose of the car is. It looks like you want big power and a trailer queen, probably not something that would be very streetable (based mostly on the turbo kit). Some of the parts you listed will make a lot of power and some will be very limiting and possibly detrimental to performance.

Why did you choose what you did and why that particular brand? I see a lot of junky, unproven, and unnecessary stuff on your list. For example, the camshafts are way too aggressive for turbo use...even stage 2 cams, properly tuned, should be reserved for very high hp cars. OEM cams can and will make as much as you throw at them. Also, if you are expecting 450+ whp with just an in-tank fuel pump (a crappy choice of one at that), Eagle rods, and stock sleeves, you better be ready for a rude awakening.

What other supporting mods are you planning on? Clutch? LSD? Suspension?

Help us help you and give us as much information as possible.

what do you plan on tuning with? what ecu are you using? As already stated, oem cams are fine. and you do have a lot of stuff on your list that you don't need!
