Hey guys so i just ordered some goodies for my new 2011 GSR and wanted to know what you guys think about this setup. maybe some suggestions. not shooting for huge numbers just a small DD with some good power.

-Kelford cams and springs
-ams full turbo back exhaust (wide mouth DP)
-Cobb Lower/ Upper inter cooler piping
-Ams intercooler
-walbro fuel pump
-Garret gt3071 turbo
-HKS ssqv black
- no clutch though
- AEM true boost
-AEM intake


Thanks

 

You are certainly going all out on a brand new car

My suggestion:
- Cams
- BOV (unless it's needed for the turbo)

+ Clutch (the stocker isn't going to last very long on an upgraded turbo)

 

Yea the cams aren't really needed yet, but whatever..

I would say the clutch will last longer than you think. Just don't launch it and as long as you know how to drive, I would say you should be good.. for a little while.

 

Thanks guys, i don't think i will be launching the car at all. I've had it for a month and haven't even launched it once. and now with the mods i won't even consider it, but thanks.

 

Get the new gtx turbos if going garrett.

My stock clutch lasted till 15k miles with 450 whp on a 3076r.

Hks bov not too popular. Alot of people get issues with them on the evo. I would get a synchronic synapse bov.

Get some fic 1100 cc .

 

I'd say if this is as far as you'll go, get either the kelford a or the cosworth mx1 cams. The kelford b will slow your spool and add top end you won't get out of the turbo.

DON'T get the BOV. It has no use, the stock one is fine until like 30psi. and venting to atmosphere will destroy your livability. The car isn't designed for that.

I personally hate the AEM intake, I'd get one from someone else. AMS, Cobb, MAP all have great examples.

I would replace the true boost with a 3-port. ECU controlled boost is much better than aftermarket like the aem unit.

Also, I'd possibly reconsider the turbo. Do more research on that turbo, and on the FP Green or BBX lite. Not many ppl like the garret bolt-ons.

Finally, what are you tuning with? Cobb AP or opensource?


Sorry I basically ripped apart the whole list, but there's valid reasons
PM for more info if you have any questions :-)

 

I agree with everything this man said..

 

got to get the clutch youll blow the stock one to bits the first time you get on it. i got an exedy twin with my black and love it

 

:/ already ordered everything. either way slowly i will be adjusting my setup. I'm from Central florida, so i will have jestr tuning it with a open source.
