I've had retrofits in all of my cars so that probably has something to do with it :)


I think retrofits look good as long as they look OEM. That's my rule for any car mod, in general.


You should make one for my car!

I usually weld them or fill them with JB Weld and let that actually seal it and then put a rubber cap on it. Even brand new those caps often can't hold back the pressure. I had one blow off a car on dyno and the stream cut a hole in the radiator.

That sucks, owned.

The nipple coming out of the t-stat housing is steel. Like JET said... He just crimped his and welded it shut.



I suppose you could do it that way, it would just look like ass. I pulled that steel nipple out and threaded it, nice and clean.

Nah, it honestly looks pretty good if you take a little time on it. I cut it 1/2 way off, then crimped it perfectly horizontal and ran a very small bead on it. I then painted it black and it is underneath the T-stat housing you don't even notice it.

I'm going to try and get GSXTACY plates for the car in MN. Not sure if they're available or not, guess I'll find out when I go to the DMV.

They're already taken, by another 1998 GSX down here in the cities.

That stupid POS plug popped off again last night. Once again I caught it in time, but enough is enough. I'm going to put a 1G N/A housing which is the same without the water outlets. I'm going to do that tonight or tomorrow.

Ricer roll race against a 600AWHP (on RS Motors' dyno) Evo 8 (with bias ply radials and a cage):

He was running 40PSI through a 2.0 and a PTE6262. I must say I was happy with my pig rich, stock timing 25PSI daily driver against that :)
