All;
I was looking for something to replace my 93 MR2 Turbo and 325IS and always loved the GSX. I did the standard stuff to the Mister Two and kept the performance parts from the 2. I now have a stock 97 GSX with 52K miles and want to get it to run in the 13's. It is an automatic, which I specifically looked for. I hated running a turbo in autocross due to boost loss when shifting and have kids.
Enough about my life story. What is it going to take to get to get in to the 13s and how much abuse will the GSX take before I break it? I still have my AVCR and AFC and assume I will need to do intake and exhaust, maybe fuel pump, injectors, FMIC, and maybe a turbo. Don't have lots of money (don’t be fooled the 325 was older). I bought the G-Tech RR accelerometer so I can check horsepower increases as I add each part (if anyone near me in AZ wants to come try it out and see what they are putting out for free, just let me know!).
Like some of the other guys here, I am tempted by the cheap EBay stuff but am scared. I am pretty handy (see http://www.mr2bug.com ) but am afraid of wasting money...it doesn't grow on trees as you all know!
I would love for someone to say "Here's the parts list of what you need, here's where to get it, and this is what it would cost - by the way, I am local so check mine out" but will settle for any advice you great people have to offer!! :-)
Thanks
Mario

hmmm... i would get a SBR Bastard 20g with all the extras (internal gate), Ported Exhaust manifold, Intake Manifold (optional), MBC/EBC, SAFC II, Wideband, Injectors, Fuel rail (optional), 255lph fuel pump, FPR, FMIC, Cams/Cam gears, Full exhaust, Intake, Greddy Type S BOV.......
All of thgis stuff you can get from the following reliable and respected places: www.slowboyracing.com , www.buschurracing.com , www.amsperformance.com and www.extremepsi.com . This will all cost you roughly $4000 but if you shop well you should save a little. STAY AWAY FROM EBAY.
I think thats everything... anyone have any better ideas?

Thanks Sebba! I have the AVCR and the SAFC already, so I have a head start!
I read up on the Bastard 20G and it sounds like a great combination of power, spool up, and sleeper factor! Now I just need to put together a game plan on what to do first and how to fund it.
Any recommendations on which cams I should go with and size of injectors?
To All: Anyone have some of these parts used that you want to part with?
Thanks again,
Mario

. This setup that sebba is giving you is way more than you will need to accomplish this. I mean come on. With that car you can run 13's with the stock turbo and stock internals easily.
