ding ding tell the winner what he gets!!!! just playin man

 

the thought of doing anything to my car is new to me so i am totally new to all of this. love this forum though. have read pretty much every thread and learned lots. i dont even get to drive my ls til i get back to the states in dec. thanks for all the help everyone. keep the ideas coming please

 

well the biggest factor is how much cash are you willing to invest? Under $1,000? go for it I/H/E.

what are your hp goals?
Drag, autocross, or daily fun?

 

just a daily driver when i can get another car maybe go more towards a track.

 

if u are new to car tunning, i would suggest doing a lot of research first about the turbo and see whats going on its a lot more envolved then just buying a kit and slapping it on, there are many different factors and parts that u may want to purchase to prolong the life of your motor and your trubo... and also be looking to spend $$$$. if that dosent' sound like your cup of tea u may want to stick with the i/h/e, nice suspension stuff like that

 

^ what he said.
Reasearch until you've explored the different kinds of force induction. Find out what's involved, I know it seems like alot of work but the satisfaction will be worth it. If you don't have that kind of money then I/H/E will be fun for the time being but if your into performence at all, I/H/E won't be that great after a month and you'll wish you spent the 1,000 towards a turbo application. This is coming from my imo when i had an ls bolt-on.

 

i had a full n/a set up with cams intake, intake mainfold, header all that, i switched up to a turbo last weekened u can see the pics on the forum, and i will tell ya there is nothing like a trubo the power, the noise everythign its awsome! far better then n/a imo

 

i have between 3000 and 4500 depends on how much the wife spends when i come home. i kinda want to balance between looks and speed. someone hit my wife and now my car looks like 2 different shades of white from what she told me. guess i will see how bad it is when i get back to the states

 

thanks for all the help guys. gssr nice setup. what did everything run u. like i said i only have 4000 to go turbo but would like to have a little left over if at all possible. if i have to go the cheap route it may just have to be i/h/e for now. THAT SUCKS

 

Turbo it, skip reading about I/H/C/E and focus on turbo. That will be the most satisfying move you can make having an LS unless nitrious seems like a set-up you'd be interested in. Researching, i'm sure you can put together a good set-up w/ $4,000 easy.

Another move might be an engine swap, $4-5 for a type-r engine?
