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.

see below Im still a NOOB!

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

[99gsxjoel]

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.

[99gsxjoel]

Also I see you are in linnwood so am I right off of 22 and viking. By ej's bar.

[CornFed2.4]

I am your cars red and you followed me home sat. night I was in my van. It has side skirts right? I live like a mile past EJbar/shell towards wyomng right off 22.

[99gsxjoel]

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

[awd-drifter]

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

[99gsxjoel]

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.

What's up Joel, welcome to the dark side. Imma have to look your new whip over at one of the Monday meets.

You need any help let me know

Welcome! So is this thing currently bone stock or what? If so, nice find. I wouldn't bother with a small 16g though unless you already have one lined up or something, Evo III 16G's are cheap.

[turbotalon1g]

welcome, e316G ftw!!

[99gsxjoel]

Thanks all. Right now it is bone stock. it does have different side skirts and rear bumper. I think it looks ok so i think they will stay on. I am going to post up some pics now.

I was thinking small 16g because it will spool up fast and I can still hit my goal of 250-300 wheel. Bit if you think other ways let me know I am open to information and you opinions.

[LingLing]

If you want a fast spooling snail that will not only reach, but exceed your goal with I'd go with an E316G. I know someone already said go e85 with an e316g, and their right. Welcome to the site!

[99gsxjoel]

Thanks.

I am not sure if i am going to go e85 just because i am going to drive it all year. really don't want to go through all the tuning issues going from summer to winter grade E85.

There really isn't alot of diffrence between the two diffrent blends. Just remember when we get the e70 to turn the bost down a little.

For the most part there are really no issues besides waiting 3 more seconds for the car to start.

[99gsxjoel]

could be a possibility. is there anymore performance gains out of it on a stock motor.

Heres a good read to some of the members go through the pros and cons of E-85

I loved my old setup(B16g, 550 injector, exhaust, fmic, etc). Very fun and spool was great. It was on stock 7 bolt also.
