Been looking for a 1g or 2g awd dsm for awhile now and i ran across this ad. I know it needs alot of paint work and needs a rebuild, but i talked him down to 400 bucks and i just cant find any half decent awd dsm's in my area for under 4k. I think this could be a fun project and my father owns a...
Looks clean man! Yeah they are def hard to come by. Im about a hr north of houston and ive been looking for another clean gst or gsx for a decent price and not completely ran into the ground
Yeah we actually live on a hill so we didnt have any flooding on my land. Thats good to hear yal didnt have any flooding and im sorry to hear about your father thats horrible. My father in law has stage 4 cancer and its really rough. If their is anything i can do just let me know man! Im only...
Wow best build thread ever and your in texas! Hope u did alright with the flood etc. Im about a hr north of houston and it was pretty bad here. How's it all coming??? So close to finish you gotta see it threw brotha!
Lol I don't even remember where I found that deal anymore. I ended up picking up a hx35, ETS 3.5" race intercooler, hks bov, 3" custom downpipe, full 3" exhaust and a manusa 38mm wastegate ( which I prob won't even use. Prob going with a tial 44mm. Sorry for ur luck man. Where u located? All my...
Yeah prob 1000+ for just the mani then another wasgate and I'm sure I'll have to delete some more stuff then just the battery to fit everything. I got alot more research to do.
I'll shoot him a pm and see how much. Appreciate it! Still don't know if I wanna run dual wastegate's tho..... I'll have to read up on it some more, then decide. 8 blade hx35 isn't going to need all that, but maybe when i upgrade, I might. :aha:
I have a hx35 with the V-band manifold. I've searched all threw the holset manifolds sections etc. Which manifold will work best? I know I could get a bep housing and a fp mani, but I would rather run the V-band.
1g throttle body im planning on usingHks bov. Probably gonna clean it up and maybe paint it, since it's used and its to pretty.Full 3" downpipe and exhaust.(not the best pic) sun was messing with me and I didn't feel like moving it lol.
Thanks! Yeah it's gonna take awhile, my side job slowed down so money is a little tight right now. Which sucks! Ready to order the internals, beehives, ti retainers, guides etc. What kind of power u putting out and is yours a 7 blade or 8 blade?
Thanks bro yeah 3.5" thick and 2.5" pipping. Nah it didn't come with the pipping unfortunately but, I'm just gonna get some custom pipping made at FIST racing, it's gonna be pricey, but worth it. Picked the intercooler and wastegate for 220 bucks and its a ETS intercooler. Was wondering if...
Ok cool. Yeah it's gonna be awhile before I will be installing it, so it's not a big deal right now, but I might get custom piping made dunno yet tho. Still need to put about 3-4k into the car before its ready to roll. Made a build thread last night. Hoping I'll have it all done by the end of...
Picked up a rebuilt hx35 this is vs the stock T-25 LOL. Prob gonna run a fp mani, not positive yet tho.Picked this up last night 38mm wastegate with a spring in it for 17-35 psi.Ets 3.5" intercooler I got last night too. Sorry for the crappy pic. My wife is asleep so I had to sneak in...
Stripped head, planning on running either kiggly beehives or Manley dual springs and TI painters etc.Greddy exhaust it came with. Won't be used tho :)won't be using these either but, hell free parts are nice!More stuff that came with it that won't be used lol.More parts that came...
Well I've picked up a 98 gst with a blown motor but, it came with a spare block, engine stand, hks turbo timer, full greddy exhaust, pillar pod with gauges, blitz bov, injen intake, 1g throttle body and some other parts I'm sure Im forgetting about 380 bucks with a clear title! Missing the...
K thanks. Yeah I'm not sure how I want to run the piping. I'm pretty new to turbo cars and this is my first full out build. I heard the vrsf or whatever piping will fit good but their site isn't wanting to load for some reason....
Well I've worked in a machine shop and they can fab pretty much whatever. Not saying it will be super easy, but they can def do it. Yeah I can't believe they don't either. I'm planning on running solid mounts too. But mines a standard
I just purchased a 3.5" ETS intercooler and I need to get piping. I know I can get it custom made, but it's like 550 bucks..... Is their any piping that will fit it? It needs 2.5" piping.
Hopefully this week or next, I'll be picking up a hx35. Def tearing the spare motor down and taking the block to a machine shop and getting it honed or bored etc. I'm gonna start pulling the old motor too this week. Got alot of spare time. Laid off and just doing side jobs lol.
Don't think it's bad for 380 bucks with a clean title! 3 hr drive but still. I'll get pics of the spare block and engine stand tomorrow. I also picked up a spare parts car today for free with another free title! No motor, has tranny, some other parts aftermarket exhaust, fender I need etc etc...
