97 gsx build

[97gsexx]

Do you mind sending me a copy of your current Link settings or files before SD so I can get a general idea for your timing? I am running the same cams, 2.3L, e85, garret 60-1 and many other similar parts. I am deleting my translator for a cable straight from the MAF and I understand my timing will need to be completely redone. Deleting the A/C is worth the weight savings if you ask me btw.

I am pretty much at stock timing, just slightly modified. If you want to pm me your email I can send you my current settings in link.

Haven't updated this a while soooo..

Last weekend I dipped the wheels:

My plans for this spring are to:

-fix oil leak
-delete a/c
-delete cruise control
-clean up engine bay
-get a fricken alignment (too low to fit on a normal jim bean etc.. so I need to figure something out)
-convert to speed density
-get a tune by shane (already have a $150 down payment)
-new oem slave and master cylinder

Hopefully nothing breaks so I can make it to proving grounds for the first time!

Hey guys, little update for the build. Yesterday Mark and I started to shave the bay by deleting my a/c and power steering. It looks a lot better without the lines and pump on the driver's side and the battery dropped on the rear subframe.

Next I plan on getting a non cruise cable, put in my speed density setup, new clutch master cylinder, and fixing oil leaks.

Looks a lot cleaner, nice work!

[97gsexx]

Yeah it definitely cleaned it up some.. My coolant temps are lower as well since I removed the condenser. For some reason my stock oil pressure gauge isn't reading since I removed everything last night. I checked the oil filter housing and it's still connected to the sender. I checked and I didn't lose any oil..

Just switched to Speed Density! It was a lot easier than I anticipated. I used the SD cable from ecmtuning and am glad I did! Here is a pic of the new setup (haven't mounted the MAP sensor yet and still need to tuck the cable)

Nice, I'm working on switching to SD as well.

The plugin cable is tits!

[97gsexx]

Yeah it is, so worth the $40.
