A few months ago I bought a 91 gsx, the person I got it from gave me the car with parts he had planed to build the car with, he gave me some 850cc smartfire injectors, innovate mtx-l a/f ratio, extruded tube intercooler core with 2.5 piping, hallman boost controller, dejon intake, apexi 3in exhaust ,eprom-e with ecmlink installed, he had changed the timing belt, spark plugs, new tires with offset rims,radio, a/c, shift knob, shift boot
, engine mount, and HID lights. Im not sure if the car has anything else but the guy told me the turbo was a 16b, im guessing its either stock or 16g. I havent tried checking.

About two weeks later my clutch went out?, my gears would lag to pik up , so I decided to park it and buy a new clutch, then I noticed the clutch master was leaking when I tried to look at it better the reservoir broke apart, maybe that caused my gears to act weird?

I had to get a new clutch master so I jst chose to keep buying parts for my build, I set my goal to around 450whp and since I live in california I decided to run e85

This is my list of parts til this day,
Act xtreme street clutch
Act 2600 pressure plate
Act xtreme 11.5 flywheel
Oem throwout bearing
An extra act throwout bearing
Flywheel bolts
Pressure plate bolts
Oem clutch release fork
Oem clutch pivot ball
Oem clutch master cylinder assembly
Oem clutch slave cylinder assembly
Oem clutch release clip
Oem clutch release boot
Walbro 255 high pressure pump
Rewire kit
Aeromotive a1000, stainless steel braided line
Magnecor 8.5 mm wires
Ngk bpr7es spark plugs
Innovate mtx-d vacuum/boost gauge&shift light
Hks type 1 turbo timer
Trippler pillar pod for gauges
Redline mt-85
Brad penn 20w50

I cnt decide on a blowoff valve, would it matter ?
Should I install a speed density setup?
I was thnking of getting 1100 FIC injectors, im not sure if the 850s would match my goal on e85 and last , the turbo I was planning on a 20g or would be a FP green be better, I was thing 20g because of the price, or is there another cheap turbo that wil get me to where I want to be, and are there other parts I should get?

Il appreciate any advice, thanks for reading.
 
TD05H 20G is where it's at for a street car with horsepower expectations in the 350-400whp range.

The FP 20G deal is good, but how anal is your area about the turbo and manifold being stock-appearing for state inspection? You may need to look past the FP manifold and 20G setup for something more stock-appearing like a ported OEM manifold and Sleeper 16G / Bastard 20G.
 
Definitely a strong performer, but depending on what he's looking to spend....an internally-gated 68HTA would be $900 which is a pretty decent chunk of change considering you can buy a 20G complete with the turbine housing AND race manifold from FP for $849 right now.
 
I dont think the appearance would matter, at least not to me and aa lot of other people around here, the most ill spend is around 1200 on the turbo I still need bigger injectors and 2g maf or 3 map sensor, I was thinking 20g butt if spending 200 extra for a big difference I wouldnt mind paying, money isnt a problem I just dont want to spend more money than I need to, I want something that I can tune too 11s on the 1/4 , not a must just a mark id like to see.

Tou defiantly need more injector and e85 to get close to your 450gp goal on a 20g. But jusmx is right the 20g configuration for FP sells is a great turbo. You need to add head studs to your list and cams would help.
 
Yupp im choosing the fp 20g I plan on getting both the housing and manifold ported, but what size of injectors would I need, if 1100cc injectors wont get me to 450 what do you advice? High independence or low?
 
You don't need 2150's if your only going for 450jp on ethanol. They are about $1000. FIC 1150's should be enough injector for a 20g and ethanol. But if you go bigger than a 20g in the future, you might have to buy bigger injectors again. So just think what you are realistically going to do with the car. It is my opinion that you should buy 1150, 1250, or 2150. ive never owned fic 2150's, but i have been told they run like a small injector. i have had other injectors larger than 1250 that were a pain in the ass to dial in. you probably should go with a bigger pump than 1 255lph though. Good luck! I love the way your car looks. Hopefully I gave you a little better description than just dropping a grand on injectors. Everything on this site is "buy 2150's " or "buy a FP black they only $799!"

Also, you really don't need to port the FP exhausts manifold.
