So, If all goes according to plan, I should have a 97GSX within the month. I am planning on building a G4CS 2.3 destroker for it. For those that do not know, the G4CS is the 6 bolt version of the 4G64.
Intent of build - I am going to use this as a daily driver for now and will probably road course it from time to time.
HP/Torque goals - 450 HP on low boost, 600HP with boost turned up for track. I would like to find the peak torque at around 7000-8000RPM
This is just a plan at this stage, I have no parts for this yet. That being said, If y'all could throw your 2cents in I would appreciate it.
Main Questions:
- 1G or 2G head? (Had planned on a 1G head) would like to have it done by FFWD or Bucher. Are there any other good companies that can build a head?
- aftermarket crank... Bucher, crower, FFWD?
- Pistons... not even sure which brand is good for them. I have heard good things about Wiseco, Crower and Manley (target is 9.0:1 compression)
-Rods, I know there is a lot that goes into this selection, rod angle, length... so on. It's my understanding that the longer the rod the better the Rod angle ratio.
- Head gasket, Cometic
- and last but not least Cams, all I know is that the regrinds generally don't last as long as people would like.
So, that's the basic start for my build. I will look at turbos later, but I think I will probably go with a BW 7670EFR twin scroll. Any and all advice is appreciated.
