Does this look alright?????

OK Guys this is what i want to do to my 99 rs i want it to be fast and this is the list i got from someone that i know...... i just figured i would ask all you guys too
1 intake
2 exhaust... meaning headers, downpipe, hi flow cat, and a cat back
3 high compression pistons
4 cams
5 cam gears
6 stroker kit
7 turbo kit
8 NOS

thats the list he gave me and he sed i would be really quick.... is there anything that any of you would add in? if so tell me where in the list it shoudl be thanks alot guys!

You need lots of fuel to burn. Upgrade injectors and the fuel pump.
Don't know about dsm's, but in 3kgt you wound need an ecu from a turbo car.

If you get 3 you might as well cancel out the #6 and #7. The stroker kit usually has it's on set of pistons whether it be high or low compression so that you can make sure you valves won't hit.

You'll need some fuel upgrades... how much will depend on how much power you're making. You'll also need something to tune it with, more than likely a s-afc. And no, you won't need a new ecu.

Cancel out part one of #2 and cancel #3. Injectors, fuel pump, and a type of air/fuel controller are a must for your turbo kit and NAWWS. Don't forget about the drivetrian (not in any specific order):

Short shifter
Stronger clutch with a lightened flywheel
Built transmission (stock won't hold for long)
LSD

Oh and some sticky tires!

if youre going to add over 100 hp, also look into building up the axles so that they can handle the stress. suspension will also be a must. may i suggest a nice set of JIC's? an S-AFC is a plus to add, you'll be also looking into buying gauges for damn near everything to monitor the car's behavior. it'll include thermals and pressures here and there. you'll also need a intercooler with that turbo kit if it doesnt come with it. also blowoff valve and wastegate(i like the externally vented ones personally). as far as exhaust goes? its one header, its not a v6. with a turbo you will not have a header, thats n/a cars, you'll be putting in an exhaust manfold. you should look into ceramically coated components to withstand the heat. you might also consider changing belts to new ones, just in case. as far as intakes go, a Greddy set of hard pipes is a sure bet. Brake upgrades is a huge plus after turbo, so you can well...stop. an LSD is a good thing so you dont have wheel hop, different tires and wheels are a plus. tranny work, like it was said before. A thicker gauge wire on ground wires will help you out. 8 gauge should be plenty. injectors, obviously. a whole new fuel delivery system will make a huge impact on the car's performance. starting with a new sending unit, fule lines, fule rail, injectors, all that good stuff. much higher octane level gas will be a must all the time, to avoid knock. if you can stick a knock sensor in, just in case, if possible. upgrading your throttle body is also a benefit, porting and polishing the intake manifold, head, exhaust manifold, all the airways pretty much is a benefit to a turbo car. a 180 degrees thrust bearing will be better vs a 360 degree one, with the crank walk and all. you'll be switching to a different kind of oil possibly. maybe a nitrous or a CO2 injected intercooler setup? Front mount intercoolers seem to work better than side mounts, so look into one of those. those work pretty nice. im not 100% sure on a 2G, but with a 3G they have to cut out a section of the U-rail in the front, so quite possibly you'll have that done also, there goes the safety factor with a front end collision and say hello to your crankshaft in the rear seat if u hit stuff. when u do nitrous, i'd do a wet fogger kit, its safer that way, cars dont tend to blow up as much if you install it right. you also need to decide what kind of turbo and compressor setup you will be running. as far as compression goes? you dont have to have high compression in a turbo car generally, due to boost. n/a cars like the RS you or me own, we have a 9.5 or a bit over that, with a turbo it drops. you can run high compression however, but it requires a lot of modding so the car doesnt explode, im not sure how much the stock block can handle, so i wont throw out numbers. i'd also get racing seats with a 5 point harness, just for safety. you'll also end up buying lots of smaller things that will add up to a nice sum, things such as couplers, hoses, wire ends, ring terminals, maybe additional fuses, harnesses, an A pillar pod maybe, things of that nature, keep it in mind and accomodate those with the alloted balance. new head studs will help, because you will be putting addiditional stress on those. all kinds of gaskets and seals will need to bre replaced, once again due to added pressure here and there, more heat, stress and such. boost controls can be off the S-AFC, but you can also get a manual one, its up to you. you'll need lots of money to put in on the dyno once all the parts are in so its properly tuned. dyno time is really expensive, unless u can get a hookup. well i believe i covered a lot of the aspects you'll need for starters, so good luck with that project id love to see some install photos and some final photos and numbers with the car, maybe a time slip. oh one more thing: some may say "sell it and get a turbo and work on that" things of that nature. i think it might be easier, but if u cant, then roll up your sleeves, get you credit card or checking book out and prepare for lots ef engine parts to be flung your way, good luck

also, one more thing: never stop doing research on this or think you know everything you need. i know i dont.

One thing you will also need is very big bank account. For all those parts and the labor( I am assuming you have no idea how to build an engine and drivetrain up), Your going to be looking at between $15-$20,000(estimate for parts and labor). Definatly not cheap.
