okay new to the group recently picked up my first gsx. Now iv had dsm's and worked on a few before this but never really anything to down an dirty. wheel bearings,valve cover gaskets, fuel pumps exc..but my question today is whats the next step with what iv got. i picked up this car with the following supporting mods
Engine:
7 Bolt 4g63 2.0 Liter 4 Cylinder
Rebuilt less than 15k miles ago
Arp head studs
Cometic head gasket
Internals are stock
Bolt ons: (all have less than 5k miles)
Big 16g turbo on 12psi
Rc 550cc injectors (Not installed)
Manual boost controller
Walbaro 255 Fuel Pump (Not installed)
Hks ssqv blow off valve
AEM Uego Wideband o2 sensor
Huge front mount intercooler (not ebay junk)
3" intercooler piping
Short ram intake w/ kn filter
Gm Maf with Maf translator
Megan coilovers
Hks "Hi-Power" Catback Exhaust
3" downpipe
NGK plugs and wires
Drivetrain:
3" Aluminum driveshaft from the driveshaft shop
Act 2100 Clutch and Pressure Plate
Chromoly Lightweight Flywheel (Not installed)
Freshly swapped 5 speed manual transmission and transfer case From a 98 Talon Tsi Awd with 105k
Interior:
Roll cage
4 pt Aci Racing harness
Double A Pillar Gauge Pod
Autometer Boost Gauge
AEM Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge, 14.7 afr at idle
Battery relocated to the trunk in a box
Exterior:
Shell has 93k miles (Never seen a winter)
97 front end conversion
Custom exhaust manifold vent on hood
External Wastegate bung on front bumper
4 Brand New Tires
I mean for what i paid i got alot in my opinion some of this stuff gets abit pricey but my goal is streetable pump gas power something around the 400-450whp range enough to throw you in the seat and take to a track day but not to much you couldn't drive to work. now as far as budget im not one to give up quality but if its not necessary why have it Right? but lets say to start keep it under 5k
also the car needs a tune its running factory boost on the stock ECU but what kind of numbers with the current set up should i see after a good dialed in tune.
thanks for the help iv done alot of research but obviously nobody has my exact set up so im trying to culminate all the mighty minds of dsm'ers and get all my info in one spot.
