OK someone on this website suggested that I do this, so I will give it a shot. I have a 92 LS right now, and by next summer I want to have a car that will hit high 13s. I can either stick with my 92 LS and build it up, or I can buy a 94-95 GSR in 2 months and build that up...........My budget is about 5000 $ all together (If I end up getting the GSR, it will drop to about 2500 $). So what do you guys think.....do you think that I should just build my 92 LS up with my 5000 $, or do you think that I should get the GSR , with 2500 left to build it up ? Which, based on your guys experience, do you think will get me to high 13s by next summer ?


P.S. Also, Do any of you guys know about any cable to hydraulic conversion kits ?

 

You'd probably have better luck slapping a turbo on that LS and tuning that with the $5k budget. Might be kinda tough to hit 13s with only 2500 to put into a GSR. And i haven't heard anything about a cable to hydraulic kit, but just go with the YS1 tranny out of the 92-93 GSRs and you should be pretty set

 

Custom turbo kit
- RevHard manifold
- Tial 35mm wastegate
- TurboXS manual boost controller (set to 10 psi)
- Turbonetics T3/TO4B 0.63 a/r Stage II turbine, S-3 trim compressor
- good but not huge intercooler
- take yer pick BOV (TurboXS is good and not too pricey)
- pipes, fittings, etc
2.75" downpipe w/ flex pipe
3" Carsound hi-flo cat
3" Thermal R&D exhaust
Hondata ECU
RC Engineering 440cc/min injectors
B&M Command-flo fuel pressure regulator & guage
Upgraded in-tank fuel pump
Plenty of time on the ol' dyno
Beefy clutch
Sticky street tires

 

you could easily hit high 13s with a GSR on that budget with nitrous

or you could turbo the LS

 

I'd replace that revhard mani with an inline pro. If you dont mind ditching your ac go with a full 3'' system and get a 3'' downpipe. Hondata is :thumbup: for obd1's but instead of spending the extra cash on rc injectors find some dsm's and get them cleaned and blueprinted. Turbo size is really your choice but i would rather go with a t3/t04e. If you dont mind spending a big chunk of your cash on the turbo then you might even consider a pt60. Fatbooty is right tho....lots of dyno time and you'll be deep into the 13's if you do it right.

 

OK guys i appreciate your input

 

Is that set up mentioned above better than the drag III setup ?

 

I would like to know too

 

In every way, except that drag's piping is bling bling'd. The drag3 kit comes with a t3/t04e .63 a/r and 57 trim.

 

I am sorry i don't know anything about TURBO kit
so your point is?
