So i will be receiving my gsc s1 cams ~ 1 week prior to receiving my 20g-LT/FP-GRN turbo.

On top of this, i have a sheetmetal intake sitting in my garage waiting to be installed as well......yeah, i am a power junky, point me to WHP Anonymous!

Anyway, here is my delimma...

If I decide to install all these components @ once, Then i may as well yank the head too, throw in some +1mm larger valves, port the head & sort out my combustion chamber, since the only thing keeping me from doing this are 10 head studs/nuts!

or

being he purist i am, install each of these components seperatly to note the power gains of the gsc cams against my previous hks set-ups, the merit of the new turbo to over the tme i currently have (which will be for sale soon w/custom licp), then perform a intake manifold dyno compare for everyone to see while being run on california's finest 91 octane & just wait to port the head later

I would take any & all paypal donations (~$5-) to help subsidize the cost of 3 separate dyno compares!

if you make a dyno time donation, please make it public

If the individual dyno's dont happen, I will refund all donations via paypal & you loose nothing

GSC S1 cams vs. previous HKS 272i/264e @ -3/0 & HKS 280's @ -3/-1
TME vs FP-GRN with gsc s1 cams
OEM Intake vs. Modified Weapon-R with FP-GRN & GSC S1 cams

 

yes please do the the second method. I have HKS cams with TME turbo and would like to see what kind of gains you get.

 

ive read this forum for a while i didnt know people ported the heads for this car. How much whp does that get

 

no other input?

i figured i would hear a lot on this extremely opinionated forum?!!!!!

 

do it all at once you will like it way more

 

my fp-grn just arrived.....2 day's earlier than the expected date from ups!

still waiting fort he gsc s1 cams => tracking # claims to arrive on the 5th.....

 

Ideally, you should add one by one with dyno-tunes after each step, or else you'll end up with no idea which mod actually made power... (this is assuming that you could gather enough EvoM donations... - hey we better not see you sporting a brand new Full-Race 42r setup next week either )


My last upgrade consisted of ported/coated exhaust manifold, LICP, and GSC S1 cams, and 750cc injectors - followed by custom tune. To this day, I regret not knowing if the first two of those mods did anything whatsoever.


So far, you've really taken the time to build a nice pump gas/street set-up using the right combo of parts. So what happens when you install the cams, intake mani, and FP green and only make 25-30whp? Then you'll be running around with a sub-optimal setup without knowing which part of the three wasn't the best of its kind.
