10,000 cc injectors are pretty big, i hope AEM can control those suckers!
haha

Seems like a nice build with quality parts, make sure to break everything in properly and with a good tune you should be having loads of fun with the car! good luck

johnsonroda27 · 10-01-2008, 05:51 PM

haha i fixed that...my bad.. where should i have posted this i cant find anywhere that seems like its supposed to be there//

snowborder714 · 10-01-2008, 05:58 PM

You might also want to fix your fuel pump size as well

You've upgraded pretty much anything, yet you you didn't get a new intake manifold. Any reason you didn't go with an SMIM? Also, any pictures of the sumped tank?

Looks like a fun build! This is pretty much what I'd like to do with my car. You're not too far from me - how about taking me for a ride once it's done?

johnsonroda27 · 10-01-2008, 06:09 PM

haha thanks..aparently i love zero's .. i dont know i just decided to keep the stock 1g mani for now .. ill probably upgrade .. as you probably know this wasnt cheap and im about out of money for parts for now .. i have to get some slicks and some odds and ends as well later on
' so ill get a jmfab one soon after im sure..
yea when its done if you wanna meet me somewhere ill give you a ride !

johnsonroda27 · 10-01-2008, 06:13 PM

oh and i have a good shop if you need some really really good work done by a genius who does alot of dsm's including mine and hes a really good friend of mine..

97 4G63 · 10-01-2008, 06:21 PM

Nice set up i love the mannifold that thing looks bad ass good luck whith everything.

bluegs03 · 10-01-2008, 06:25 PM

why did you go with a aem / aeromotive fuel pump combo? Couldnt you get away with double wally 255's (if your worried about pumping enough fuel) and dsmlink? Just wondering ### its alot more expensive to do what you did.

Boosted98gsx · 10-01-2008, 07:25 PM

If and when you upgrade the intake manifold, you might as well go 3" on the intercooler piping and get a Q45 TB at the same time to help that turbo breathe.

johnsonroda27 · 10-02-2008, 11:23 AM

yea ive seen a few people run a 35r with a 1g TB and 1g IM .. so we thought it should be fine for a while if need be

Boosted98gsx · 10-02-2008, 11:26 AM

I'm not saying you won't be okay with that, what I am saying is if you upgrade the intake manifold, go ahead and upgrade the rest of your cold side, it will greatly help the turbo.

johnsonroda27 · 10-02-2008, 11:27 AM

im not disagreeing with you .. i agree 100% ..

BIGBLAZE79 · 10-02-2008, 12:26 PM

I'm not sure if you have had any problems with clutch disengagement. Looking at the position of the clutch fork, it looks like the clutch fork doesn't have much room to travel to disengage the pressure plate. I just put my tranny back in for the hundredth time last week and I have had to remove it to shim the pivot ball twice before. I make sure every time now the clutch fork is at least in the middle of the opening in the bell housing if not a little toward the motor. This is with a new pivot ball and clutch fork. ACT2600 also.

bump !

"Nicely Done! Any reason as to why the talon bumper?

No_Skillz · 10-08-2008, 03:34 PM

Still looks noob because your motor mounts are stock.

Don't mind me, I'm just jealous.

i like the way it looks with the fmic .. like its a wide open mouth just eating air.. haha .. i just love it .. and i kept the 95-96 paint scheme with the 2 tone which is unique

JayRolla · 10-08-2008, 04:13 PM

That turbo can put you in the 10's on the stock intake mani. Thats a nice setup. What fuel will you be using?

johnsonroda27 · 10-08-2008, 04:19 PM

93 on street .. race fuel at the track.. or meth.. not sure yet

How can you NOT choose a 2gb Talon bumper, it's the sexiest of them all!!

redboosted97 · 10-08-2008, 04:24 PM

nice setup man, definatly would go with a ported head and a sheet metal intake manifold when you get the money and my question why go with a 2.4 the gt35 isn't that big where you would need the torque, especially if you wanna use this for the track I would have just gone with a built 2.0 or a 2.1 from anyone. If I was going with a 2.4 liter I think I would go with a larger turbo like a 40r-JOEYD
