and tomorrow I have to pick up some more....

Looking good man! A few points. If you really want to de-rice it, ditch the a-pillar gauges and go with a true sleeper setup on the dash (I had my 2G setup like this, LOVED it).

Do you have DSMLink yet? You might consider skipping the aftermarket FPR (not really necessary) and put the money towards more power mods: cams or dsmlink, then maybe a bigger turbo.

Looks like the car is dropped....do you have any other suspension mods done to it yet?

[hippiekiller]

I am planning on ditching the a-pillar gauges...Have a center vent mount setup coming from extreme psi. It fits my 60mm blitz gauges.

No dsmlink yet, when taxes come around I plan on dedicating it all to getting this thing up and running properly. Hopefully will be picking up the AEM ems, provided funds can justify it. If not I will run dsmlink.

I have to pick up cams for the new head. Probably going to go with the tried and true 272's and some Toda cam gears. Bought the head from the moderator/owner of widsm.org. Pretty heavy port job, oversized valves titanium retainers etc... Should flow a good amount of air.

I am still deciding on turbos. Probably going to end up going with the GT3076R... And a new manifold, not sure which yet.

Yeah it's dropped. Tokico 5 ways and matching springs. Have the same setup on my mustang and it works pretty well. Sooner or later it will have coilovers. Needs strut bars and some upgraded sway bars.

Picking up the injectors, flywheel, 2gb headlights, black dash and black console tomorrow.

Looks like this will be a fun project! If you are going to tune this yourself or at least attempt to I would NOT get AEM EMS! Its soo damn confusing(well for me at least) and Link is alot more user friendly(So Ive been told)

[hippiekiller]

No way am I going to tune it myself...I plan on getting it all together and taking it over to MAP.

Shooting for a solid 400 at the wheels. Maybe a little less than that until I can upgrade the tranny, axles and drive shaft. Clutch has to be done as well. BAH, so much work to do yet

I'm running a 3076r on my 1g, and so far, I'm really happy with it. As soon as I get some cams, I'm sure I'll love it alot more.

You have been listening to the honduh guys too much. You don't need to upgrade any of the driveline stuff until you are WAY over 400 whp. Clutch will be needed, depending on what you want to do in the future, you might want to think about twin disk right now.

FPR, Cam gears, and driveline stuff are not needed. Spend that money on the other stuff you want.

[hippiekiller]

Hmm, already have the FPR so it is going in anyway, and I prefer to have it in there as well. Would rather degree in the cams. Just the way I like to do things. Not really looking at twin discs yet...Maybe down the road. Hmm, I was always told stuff starts to break at about 400hp with the GSX's. Not to mention it is a 13 year old car with 130k that I have no idea what has been replaced on it and when it was taken care of. I don't like things breaking and then having to be towed somewhere.

Kevin, what RPM's are you getting full boost at? More than likely the 3076r is the turbo I will end up running.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

With my stock cams, I'm seeing 18psi at about 3600-3800 rpm with a badly leaking bov flange.
