So i found this 90 GST on the local craigslist. Says that it has all these great things but he cant get it to turn over. Wants 1000 or best offer. Well today, i sent my brother out there with a tow truck, and now i have an eclipse. I got it for 600, payed my tow truck buddy 80 for the 20 mile haul on a flat bed(car is FWD, i know it didnt need to).
He claims it has .30 over JE pistons and scat rods(we'll see when i open it up). It does has an evo FMIC with raptor piping, turbo xs BOV, tial external wastegate re-routed, 550cc RC inj, 3" turbo back apexi, hks elbow, hks turbo timer, apexi safc 2, blitz egt, Gauges: boost, water temp, oil pressure, volts, and a narrow air/fuel. It has been dynomatted and is sitting on kyb gr2's and eibachs.
EDIT: Small 16G Turbo, front and rear strut tower bars.
It cranks, but no start. I havent had a chance to play with it yet and may not for another month or two. But i picked up a 6-bolt with oem pistons and rods, brand new bearings, brand new rings, new belts, and new gaskets. I also got a 16g, 2g maf with wiring, tubular mani and other randoms with the 6-bolt pick up, all for $250 last week. So if the engine i have in the car has no compression(rings), then looks like im swapping the one from the car with the one on the engine stand. Wish me luck, i should be at the shootout with this car in august,...if nothing makor happens before then. <you know it always does though.
EDIT: New problem in post #14
Take a peek at it if you're bored.

. That's gotta suck not being able to work on a new car. Have you touched it yet? That's like putting Chocolate in front of a baby behind a door gate.
