I run a thermal R&D exhaust. Loud but very deep and sounds amazing. I also have a Pubishment FMIC kit and it looks and fits amazing. As for a blow off I am running a recirculated Tial Q. All the parts I listed aren't much more than ones you are looking at and are better in quality. It's better...

I'm not too sure about the 99 GSX's but my 98 doesn't have abs... I'm sure it was an option or maybe the carpet was swapped?

I am semi local to Street tuned Motorsports (STM) from Rochester, NY.Bump

I have done my research about the difference between the non turbo and turbo. Motors. I gave up the thought of fixing my 7 bolts head gasket and decided ill just start fresh and go with a 6 bolt...I recently purchased a super clean 6 bolt 4g63 non turbo LONG BLOCK for $200. I have ready...

The motor does not have a MLS gasket. Previous owner used a composite. I'll check the OFH soon. I do notice some oil leaks in that area. I can't remember if I had gotten an oil change at my dads shop when I first got the car or not. It's been a while. I'll look at the oil filter to see. Either...

I'm capable or know people capable with helping me with that. What kind of power can they hold up to? I'll definitely consider this while everything is apart.

The motor in now is a 96 7 bolt. And do you guys really think the oil filter housing would mix coolant? I checked the dip stick and shows ZERO sign of coolant mixing with oil there... And I want to pull the motor as the car is going for paint and wouldn't mind the engine bay redone when the rest...

I'm looking for about 450whp daily. And I've talked to STM and eviltsi was running his stock composite and hitting tens. Sounds like a solid gasket and I don't plan to hit even hit tens. But me being me I like to "over do" it a little bit. The block and head will most likely be sent to a local...

Back from the dead! I did a compression test and it went as followsCyl#1-175 Cyl#2-165 Cyl#3-170 Cyl#4-170With those numbers I didn't feel the need to leak down test. The Felpro gasket I ordered ended up being a composite gasket and I'm just more comfortable with MLS so I sent it back.But...

To be honest I haven't pulled the head or done a compression test yet. Work has been killing me but I often think of this haha. Just small convos with the previous owner. I did order a felpro head gasket from the local Advance Auto just In case. Hopefully when I respond next ill atleast have...

Felpro is at advance auto right? Thanks for the in put guys. I'm not pushing a lot of power I just want a reliable set up. I go to many car shows most many hours away and I don't want to get stranded on the highway.

Ok so I see the PO used an oem COMPOSITE head gasket. I'm guessing that's why it went. I looked into an oem MLS and they are $150.00. I see Cometic sells MLS head gaskets for around $80. Anyone try them with any luck?

Ehhh did you say "Megan" and "Brand name" in the same sentence? Just coming from experience with buying cars with Megan junk on them and had cracks in piping and welds break off of flanges. Still have the o2 housing off my old SR20 if I need to provide proof. I would go with real brand names...

Very nice 2g. I'm a newbie here but lurked (unregistered) for a while. That 20g will be nice for auto cross! My buddy does auto cross in an sti and always tries to get me to enter. Never do. Plus I plan on built motor/bigger turbo so my AGP BB turbo will have to go.

I have no experience with these. And I never believed in radar detectors until I witnessed a Valentine v1 in action. It is by far the best you can buy. Look them up. I'll be purchasing one this year. They are SPOT on.
