i ahve a 96 gs-r i was wondering the best engine work to do to it to make it fatser any ideas?

You just opened a big can of worms with this topic.

Really it depends on hat you want and you budget. You can start with a I/H/E or you can go with a set of cams and maybe some headwork or if your budget allows you can go with a trubo.

good answer.

custom turbo kit with some proper tuning is the biggest gain in power for best $$$... gsr stock internals can hold 8-10psi of boost or even more if tuned properly

depends on your abilities... install is a big cost. turbo is the best gain... you can run 8-10 for about a year and then your engine is bye bye. that is the downside.
your best bet would be ihe and headwork.

i really dont want to get into this but running 8-10 psi for a year doesnt mean anything.10 psi on a t25 and 10 psi on a T4 is a big difference and i know people who have been running 12 psi on a stock motor for years and its still running.

whats is i/h/e and if i change my valves to type r style will i get any big gains

not as much as turbo

newman

I/H/E is basic bolt-ons, intake/header/exhaust.

if u are planing on staying n/a. or even turbo it will not matter as much if u going to turbo it but chande ur intake manifold the stock ones are kinda crap

imported_t_dot_SiR

the stock IM on the gsr is actually not crap, just not the best yet... everyone say upgrade to s2 IM, but IMO, that is not the first thing of any built....

if you have $$$, do it at once and do it right...
camshafts, valvetrains, headwork, 4-2-1 SS 2.5" collector, custom exhaust, any intake would do, pistons + proper tuning... you'll be set for nice n/a numbers

but again, if you want torque and lots of power for about the same cost of n/a built (but way more power)... turbo is the answer... and again, engines not necessary fail after a year... proper tuning and how well you look after your engine will make it last beyond a year for sure... and you would look into internals afterwards.... just never be late for oil changes, use the top oils, use the highest octane, check your plugs, make sure your oil temp is good... cool your turbo... etc... problems will occur less if you love your car more =)
