New to imports building up my 98 gst need some feedback on my setup im looking at

[19BLACKGST98]

Well I just recently got into the import scene, I also have a WS6 that ive done just about every thing to so the gas milage suks so then i decited to get a car with better gas milage but i dont like just anything pulling up next to me and being able to beat me so I went with the 98 GST Ive always liked the looks of the 2g style, anyways Im really into it now and i wanna hook up my car when i come back from the desert...ill be coming back with about 20grand so you can give me some creative ideas, Im not looking to run 10s or anything just like maybe low 12s or high 11s and with pump gas. Here is my list i was thinking about.

Things I already have: Tubular Turbo Manifold, Greddy Turbo Timer, NGK Plugs and Intake, Might have had some stuff dont befor i got it but not sure.

Parts I plan on getting unless persuaded otherwise:
TDO5 18g ported and pollished(everyone trashes that turbo for some reason want real evidence though)
HKS 264/272
660 injectors
greddy FMIC
Walbro 255 rewired fuel pump
N1 Turbo back exhaust w/ down pipe
Greddy Profect b boost controller
1g BOV
not sure which plug wires
I also wanna run on Some 18" voxx Forzas so keep that in mind with the times i wanna run.
I will also get it dynoed and tunned

If I could get some feed back the it would help me out alot. Thanks

Sounds like a pretty good plan, aside from the turbo IMO. From what I've seen it is just inefficient. Another thing to note is that you can get much better alternatives to an 18g for the same, or less money, that you KNOW people have gone fast with and have put down a good amount of power on pump gas. I would also look into other FMIC kits, though I haven't heard anyone complain, just might be able to save some money. I would go with 272s for both cams, being FWD, I would want to move the powerband up as much as possible, just don't forget about other valvetrain parts, like valves/springs/retainers.

Just my 2 cents

I think i have already found a custom Front mount I want rated up to 700hp for a good price and ive already been looking into the 20g from Forced Performance I just dont know what to go with the TD05 or the TD06 and i will go with the 272 cams

your gonna need a LSD & some wide tires thats for sure

 

[19BLACKGST98]

Well the Voxx Forza's I want are 18" and the width is 8 inch they will have Yokohama ES100 235 40 18 how does that sound???

^^^for the street that might be good but for the track or in the summer when you know you might get a few more runs I would go with some 16" wheels with street legal slicks or some realy nice drag radials.

 

[DSMSpyder99]

dont use cheater slicks:thumbdown

 

[98eclipseRS]

^^why not what are you going to do roll around town or to the races with slicks on so that when you get pulled over you get ####ed big time? and what is wrong with "cheater slicks"

I saw no mention of engine management-- you're gonna need something. I recommend DSMlink-- lots more performance for just a little more coin.

 

[98eclipseRS]

ah yes deffinately get dsm link nothing like it for the price.

 

[19BLACKGST98]

Ill just go with the rims and tire i had in mind for now and if i feel like i need some more grip ill by a special set for the Track...oh and DSM Link sounds good to me...even though i dont really know much about it. Im guessing its a program i put on my laptop to check and adjust engine performance???

 

[doug]

Basically, yes. Also requres that you obtain an EPROM ECU from a 95 DSM so that it can be reprogrammed. That's the main downside. There's LOTS of upside, though, including robust datalogging and independent fuel and timing control. Check out www.dsmlink.com for much more info.
