My New Project 97 GST Spyder

So this is my project. I acquired her back in October from my roommate. The engine and tranny are fully built. Buschur racing stage 3 block and head. 6 bolt swap. Knife edge crank. Blue printed and balanced. Forged internals. Fully built ported and polished head. Intake and exhaust port matched and polished. Trannys been fully built and regeared. Quaiffe lsd. Dss stage 5 axles.

Everything for the car is there except a few minor things.

1) Fuel Pump and Lines
2) Retuned
3) New Gates Kevlar Timing Belt and Tensioner Pully
4) Adjustable Ball Joints (So the tires quit going to shit every couple thousand miles)
5) A couple odds and ends

My goal before spring is to have it running and road worthy. Possibly even a paint job as well. When the previous owner had it tuned at Buschur, the car laid down 580hp with an Aeromotive a750 and -6 braided steel lines (running a different turbo than what is currently on the car). The car was starving for fuel so I do not want to run into the same problem he did. My goal is to run an Aeromotive a1000 fuel pump with -10 lines and keep the big 16g on it for now until I destroy the turbo.

Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated

Re: My New Project 97 GST Spyder

My suggestion would be to find another turbo to use rather than letting the 16g blow up or possible grenade. It would be saving yourself problems later. If you need something cheep, look for a Holset.

Otherwise this build is looking solid! You cannot beat fully built.
