Yeah, high load 5th gear pulls will toss rods a lot easier than a 2-3-4 pull will.

Pulled over and flames were shooting out the side of my hood, smoke just pouring out. Popped open the hood and everything was covered in oil and burnt. Smoked finally cleared.. and ohhhh helllooo that hole shouldn't be there... lol

Heard back from map!

The head should be done within the next week or 2, as well as the shortblock I'm hoping!

And got everything to assemble it now. New oem tensioner adjuster, Idler pulley, tensioner pulley, oem water pump assembly, Went with a Gates Racing timing belt, fel-pro PermaTorque MLS Headgaset, and MAP Ultimate Duty H11 head studs.

So now just gotta clean up the engine bay and get rid of anything that I don't need anymore and where to start on that I'm not even sure haha... Hopefully I'll get some new pics posted up soon! Just waiting on parts still!!

Trying really hard to get it done! And do the break-in procedure. Recommend 500miles on it before the tune.. I dunno if I'll get that far but we'll see. Really hoping nothing breaks during installation.. *knocks on wood* I still gotta pick up a 1g harness to use the 1g head, And figure out what to do with my power steering since it won't bolt up to a 6bolt.

You won't need a 6 bolt harness, You will use all your 2G sensors and the bracket from the 7 bolt will bolt to the 6 bolt block very easy for power steering.

Here ya go

You need to use a 1g cas still and use the 1g in a 2g magnus harness.

Gotta love shiny new parts! Got a lot of work to do but it's possible if you have everything you need and get moving on it quickly

Little update! Waited almost a month for bunch of oem parts to show up, Still waiting on my lower t-belt cover and o2housing to show up. Since then I've updated to a fp green turbo! 63mm TB(Done by throttlebodys.com) Got a few parts powder coated as well loved the way they turned out! And hopefully the rest of the parts show up middle of next week and get the engine in the car and hopefully get er running within 2weeks! Had to reschedule my tune date twice already >.<
Got the tune date set for May 28th now! I gotta make it this time!

My tune date is may 28th @ noon. Although I think Joel's (99gsxjoel) is gonna take mine and I'm gonna take his on June 5th. Gives me some breathing room.

Re: Update on my 98 GSX build

Re: Update on my 98 GSX build
