What's up guys i have been planning for some time but I finally have some of my build list started. I would love input from you guys, pros/cons and recommendations on certain things. This will be a build for my 2g spyder gst. I'm looking to start off at 350 hp then tune overtime to 600+ hp.
I'm not building this ASAP just overtime, so like before please leave comments and pointers.

(Engine internals)

Engine ( 7 bolt 4g63T )

Eagle H Beam rods
Wiseco 85.5mm 8.2:1 HD Pistons (low CR for more boost)
Arp studs
Stock crank
272 cams
BC springs
Ported head
Larger valves


(Exhaust/Intake)

Jm intake manifold
Jm turbular exhaust manifold
Hx35 turbo
Full 3in ported exhaust system
Big fmic (still looking into some)
Tial 38mm WG



(Fuel/tuning/cooling)

FIC 1100 cc injectors
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump
Aeromotive AFPR
Stainless fuel lines
Ecm link V3 (speed density)
Mishimoto radiator

( Drivetrain / Suspension )

Act 2100 clutch
Flywheel ( still looking )
Beefed up transmission ( looking for a dog box with straight cut gears)
AWD swap
Tein coilovers
Camber kit (not stancenation kit)
Custom rollcage ( maybe linked to suspension )

That's all I can list for now I've grown up with this car; My mother is the original owner so I've always had a bond with it. My purpose of this car is to be a DD but will dominate the strip and the track. Once again please leave recommendations I'm open to all feedback.

Ive always wanted to do a Spyder AWD swap something about a Vert with a roll bar sticking out.... Just amazing haha

Welcome! Sounds like a cool build. Your part list looks like a way to make some decent power.What hot side are you planning to use on the hx35

For that much power I would try jumping into something like a 6266 or another precision turbo (best bang for your buck). I would start out at least with a t3/t4 manifold. Forward facing is always something to look into. For anything more than 500 hp I would look into going aem. V3 is obviously a good place to start though. ACT2600/XACT flywheel instead. I might add, buy a 6 bolt bottom end! If you're looking for more flow up top stick with the 6 bolt head as well, although the 7 bolt head has been known to flow better.

Thanks for the input I've been down from tuners because of work. I'm trying to finish my timing belt so I've been slacking. I need help on it I'm reinstalling and lost with the tensioner pulley.

I can't remember it's the one that hooks to the stock manifold.

Why not pick up a borg warner there relatively cheap and awesome turbos ??

Check out my Spyder Build!

Dang. Your spyder looks almost identical to mine. Aside the roof. Mines also a 97 with a HKS bov, 3" stainless exhaust with cat delete, 17 in motegi rims, custom interior, and a few other little things. I hope to see yours hit 600hp

Thanks man! It's been going super slow because of work and having to lose some hours because I work a lot. But it's still going man!
