Wow i didnt think this day would ever get here! Ive been having problem after problem with my 2g gst but ive got doing pretty good now.

I started with a 96 gst auto car stock minus a 99 engine swap and a 14b. So i was just driving it normal not wanting problems untill i can trust the car (pshhh what a long road thats been). I made it 2 days and the turbo shit the bed! So what did i do. I bought a used evo 3 16g that needed a rebuild! I rebuilt it myself and used new wheels got it on the car and was on the road again. Wow another 2 days goes by and i find myself calling another tow truck :mad:. This time its the water pump went out and lucky i knew it right away because i dropped the belt for it and had no power steering. So i decided while i was replacing the pump good time to do my timing parts i put a greddy t-belt and a gates blue balance belt along with oem tentioner. While i was at the shop i also through on a 3" stainless catback i had. Got her back on the road again and was creeping on the forsale ads everywhere wanting to make some power. I found a set of evo 560s for 70$ shipped! Also a greddy fmic on cliat for 80$ (what a steal). Got these parts installed and with my lack of 2g know how i find my car running like shit. I thaught (coming from a 1g) that a 2g maf and 550s should run good. Wel i was wrong so parked the car till i could get some way to tune the car. Picked up an aem wideband kit from a friend for 75$ get that put it and kept my eyes peeled for a tunning option. Bingo found an safc on the classifieds for 50$ shipped :rocks: soi get the safc installed v(being lazy and use quick splice connectors bad idea that was). I ended up with a car that wouldnt rev over 1500rpm so i uninstalled the safc and car ran best it could for no tune. I got my soldering stuff out and went to work! I got it installed again car fired up and i used rre's base setup for a car with similar mods. So i said well lets see how she does took her for a ride and idled nice other than a little high (think my tps is going bad as it shows 2% throttle, and is at around 1800rpm in p and n but in r or d is at 900). Car was driving pretty smooth so i started easing into it and monitoring afr and which was pretty good till i made full boost. Im only at 10psi and the rre tune was for 17psi so i was kinda rich after i made full boost but better than lean i stayed in it and got to make my 1st pull to 7k rpm! I bet i had the biggest grin on my face its been a long wait and still not going to run her hard till i get my logger ( should be here tomorrow). Then im gonna get a good solid tune and get it up around 20psi and be hopfully around 300whp (my goal).

Here is a complete mod list

Evo3 16g
Voodoo mbc with ceramic ball
Maf adapter and filter
Greddy fmic and pipes
Greddy bov (fake but ok till i get my 1g flange)
Evo 8 560s
Walbro 190lph intank
3" catback
Safc
Aem wideband
Glowshift boost gauge
Timing maintenance
Android logger with elm327 bluetooth obd2 reader

I think im right there for my goal! What do you all think
 
Damn man im so glad that's resolved now onto other stuff, you know you got some good stuff already, hopefully ill see you next month.
 
So how did the engine swap go. As of now I have a 95 get but the engine is blown so I bought another but its a 97 to 99. And I'm having issues with my wiring. I've got the new engine in now and ready to finish this but some of these sensors are in different locations and need some help. Would love to get this finished
