New guy

[99gsxjoel]

Hello. Just picked up my first dsm. So I figured I would join and post up.

I have been a v8 guy at heart but have always loved the tuner cars. So to be different I decided to get a gsx. I was looking at getting a evo sti wrx gsx or a tsi. I decided a 1999 gsx because cheeper up front caust and still have alot of room for power.

future mod list
down pipe
Intake
Mbc
1g bov
Boost, afr, oil pressure gauges. With a piller mount.
Dsmlink v3 lite
Fmic.

Not sure what I will put down for power on stock turbo my guess is around 220 to the wheels. After I pull the triger I am going to go with a small 16g and arp head studs and see if I can hit 270 to the wheels.

Thanks all in advance for all the good reading on the fourm.

This is with the winter tires and rims.

Welcome! And on my stock turbo I think I put down like 140@ RS? 220 is factory talk for to the crank powa.

Yeah I think I can hit 220 at the wheels with my bolt on mods and a good tune. If I am wrong let me know.

Yes sir that is correct. Hope they dont look to bad, bought it that way and I dont think it looks to bad.

welcome! :D An Evo 3 16g + bigger injectors + bigger fuel pump + tune can quickly make you get over that 220 goal ;)

Yeah I want to do everything else first and see what I can get with the stock turbo. Then do the upgraded turbo to make it more effective in the long run.
