2G Getting my parts together for my build

Jacolu3 · Nov 28, 2015

So I've been slowly getting my parts together to do everything at once.
Purchased the car in the summer its a 2g gsx with about 120k miles on it.
My goals are 350-400 awhp and to be reliable. The motor is stock and the tranny is stock.

Here are the parts I've ordered so far. Let me know if I'm missing anything

FP HTA 68 with 84mm flow advancement internal wastegate
FP DSM race manifold with the porting option
FIC 1120 Injectors
Walbro 255 high fuel pump with rewire kit
Aeromotive fpr
Dsm link v3 full
VRSF fmic
Hks Bov recirculated
Oem composite head gasket
New timing belt with new tensioner oem
New water pump oem
Fluid damper harmonic balancer
New oem coil pack
New ngk plugs
Dsm connector kit from jnz (to replace all the sensor connections that are cracked)
Pro sport boost gauge and pro sport oil pressure gauge
Arp head studs
New balance shaft belt and tensioner
Innovate mtx-l wideband
New turbo oil feed line
New turbo return line
New manifold studs
New turbo to manifold bolts

So I think that's it
Let me know if there is something I'm missing.
Thanks
Brian

Also I'm planning on running 93 octane. I get too nervous with e85 and there isn't too many stations close to me.
If anything I might get a meth kit in the future.

Your definitely gonna need a clutch to hold your power goals. Also a boost controller because the internal waste gate is only a 18 psi.

Jacolu3 · Nov 28, 2015

Ok I wasn't sure if I needed a boost controller with link but I guess I will.
Any suggestions?

You can use link with a little of work.
A Hallman boost controller is the way to go for manual adjustments.

You are doing the same build I just did except I went with ecu flash instead of link. My build journal should be linked to my profile, I have every part listed per saved receipts and prices if you want to check it out. I would attach it here but I don't know how to from my phone. Off the rip I would change the master and slave cylinder. I got an awesome clutch kit from south Bend rated for over 500 hp for 500 bucks shipped!!

What's this car going to be used for? Street I'm assuming?

Yeah but it's basically just a weekend car. It's basically my 3 car. Plan on driving it on the weekends and trailer it to the drag strip every once in a while

Just ordered a boost controller.
I went to pull my ecu to check to see if it is an eprom ecu and of course it's not so I'm sending it to ecmlink to get socketed.

Type1DSMr · Nov 29, 2015

Which boost controller did you get?

Talon96fwd · Nov 29, 2015

I have a HBC boost controller works great no problems so far. Plus I didn't see a full exhaust on your list. Definitely something you might wanna look into.

Whats the reason behind the new coil? If yours works, I'd cross the new coil off and get a good set of wires

HeadsUp Panda · Nov 29, 2015

Good choice going with link. If the car is seeing the track it would be a great idea to do some suspension work. I know it's gonna be on the street more than the strip, but spinning ain't winning LOL

. Suspension and tire setup goes a very long way on the street.

Jacolu3 · Nov 29, 2015

I went with the hallman pro boost controller. Took advantage of the Black Friday sale

Forgot to put it on the list but I do have. 3" downpipe with test pipe with an hks exhaust.

Forgot to list that
I'm running kyg shocks and eibach pro springs. I'm also running a bigger rear sway bar. Tires are some budget brand tires that came on the car when I got them. They are new so I'll wait a little bit before I replace them.

If I would you go with the ARP L19 head studs. Such a great price on extremepsi right now. But other then that everything else looks good.

Type1DSMr · Nov 29, 2015

Forcedfour.com is having a 10% off on everything til the end of monday. They have ecmlink for 545 - 10%off save 54 dollars right now. Maybe see if you can get the deal and still have ecmtuning socket your ecu.

I did install a set of magnacore wires. The new coil was to replace the one that melted on me.

That's gnarly! Definitely needed a new one haha. Glad to see you went oem. COP is really overplayed on street cars that it isn't even necessary on.
