Glad to see you back on the grind!!! Nice to see a true DSM'er in FL. A state surrounded by Hondas!!!!

Thanks for all the replies guys. I will order the 10 and 11 lb spring to be safe since my idle is anywhere from 19-22. Thanks.

I just installed a Tial Q BOV and noticed that it stays wide open on idle. Once I disconnect the vacuum line, it shuts close. It is still getting the stock vacuum from the intake manifold. I am also running a GM MAF post BOV. It currently has a 8 lb spring in there. I couldn't find a topic...

I have a few things that will fit a 2g awd. I have a 97 and a 99 GSX. PM me if your interested.

Those traps are good for mid to low 13's with a decent 60'. You need to break the 110-112 mph mark to hit 12's in a front wheel drive without sticky tires. Wheel hop will blow your differential out of the tranny. Good luck.

I'm assuming a completely stock GS-T runs about 15.3 to 15.5 at 86-88 mph. I personally ran a 15.1 completely stock 97 GS-T over a decade ago. Try to get your 60' closer to 2.0 and you should be close to those times. I was averageing 2.1 to 2.2 60' launching at 3k rpms. Hope that helps.I...

Always good to have a parts car. I was wishing I still had my parts car last night when my A/C condensor busted....It is extremely important to check the timing before trying to crank it.

Agreed...

Congrats!!! Most people will be happy will 11's on a stock 7 bolt...Lol

Check all your intercooler pipes, sounds like one popped off.

If its a greddy profec ebc, try turning the boost knob all the way down (both low and hi settings). Do some 3rd gear pulls and see where the boost is at after that. 1st and 2nd gear goes to fast to get a full spool. If that doesnt work then run the vacuum straight to the wastegate. Just my...

T-25 will be good to about 230 whp, and thats maxing it out with supporting mods. The only downside is that boost will drop to about 12 lbs by the time it hits redline. 14b's is a cheap upgrade and will hold 20+ lbs to redline. I ran a 14b years ago and manage to run a 13.5 at 103 mph at 18...

It is not that serious. Its just like having an extra person in your car. If its a daily driver, you should enjoy your car, heavy sub box and all. I recommend taking it out if you plan on taking it to the track though.

The fp3052 is a good street turbo. All you need to do to make some more power safely is changing your headgasket to a mls and getting arp head studs. That should be good enough based on your goals.

too funny...

If the coil pack doesn't fix it, try looking at getting your crank angle sensor checked out.

Five is actually a fair price for a "perfectly running" 98 gsx. Remember that vehicles sell by popularity instead of actual kbb (ex. Supras....not $30-40k according to kbb but people will pay that still) Defanitely want the misfire fixed before purchasing for that much. I'm just curious why...

that was definately a "once in a lifetime thing" lol

For now, just pick up a cheap used afc for now and turn the fuel down in closed loop, you can get the bigger fuel pump and everything else down the road. The main focus right now is just to get it drivable without dumping too much fuel right?

I always believe in preparation. You can spend the money now on an afc if you don't plan on doing anything in the future. Link will definately extract the most power out of any build, whether mild or extreme. You will definately need a logger if you plan on running just the afc. So all...

Yes any new set of lifters will fix the lifter tick. Top line is a popular choice if you decide not to go OEM. They also have bigger ports for oil for more flow.

The wide band allows you to read how the air/fuel is looking like on wot. You read these then use link to make adjustments to the fuel or timing. I dont really think you need it running a 14b but always nice to make the most power out of it.

Do a compression test. That will determine if the hg is bad.

Sounds like a TO bearing. Had the same problem with mine serveral months ago. I felt the vibration only when pushing the clutch in and I can hear it grinding and even saw and smelt smoke coming from the tranny. The guy that had the car before me must not have lubed the input shaft and TO...

I had the same problem several years back. It turned out that I didnt grease the throw out bearing and input shaft good enough. It actually gradually got so stiff that the clutch fork snapped in half. Did you adequately apply grease to those parts?

Nice work man....Good luck on the build!!!!
