My New 98 gsx build

[CornFed2.4]

I know the ets coolers are nice. But for the money and your plans of running on E85 the Map kit or vrsf FMIC are more than capable of getting to 500hp, for around a 1/3 of the price delivered to your door.

Also, halon is right don't touch the fuel lines unless you have to. They are not a restriction at 500hp.

I talked to Shane. He's having doubts that it'll hit 500whp with that setup.
Could be looking from 450-550whp, Might be able to hit 550 but that's with E98. He also is the one who suggested the new FIC 1600's By the way.

The new FP Red or PTE 5858DBB?

[turbotalon1g]

5858 should do 500@DB with the mods you listed.

[Yiddie]

What do you guys think of the 6262DBB using the mitsu housing with a fp mani?

Also what do you all recommend for head parts? Using a 2G head
GSC S2 cams?
GSC beehive valve springs w/ Titanium retainer?
Ferrea Copper Alloy exhaust valve guides?
Valves?
Lifters?
Hydraulic adjusters?

Also if I'm gonna go to dsmlink w/sd what IAT, MAP sensor should I go with, GM? AEM? Omni?...

Thanks,

[Halon]

I think you'd love a 5858 in a mitsu housing personally.

Head, I personally would keep it simple and affordable.
2G head, leave the head casting stock, or have them just clean up the casting in the ports a little, don't go too crazy.
Springs I'd just stick with a set of Crower springs/retainers as they are cheap and will allow you to rev to 8k as long as you don't run too ridiculous of cams. Cams, I'd think you'd be able to find a set of used HKS 272's for cheap. Proven since the early ages, and very affordable. Stock valves, 3g hla's, and you have yourself a pretty decent head setup on teh cheap.

6262 or bust.

Any opinions with a t3 cast manifold?

[goodhart]

Turbonetics style or ERL is about all there is.

[Yiddie]

Just curious if you guys had experience using a t3 adapter plate on a mitsu housing? Or heard good or bad with them?

[goodhart]

I had one on my old Hahn 16g setup. Worked ok I guess.
