Well crap !

Just an FYI, that wideband is on eBay for $165 with free shipping. So

I'd rather have a shop do it that has all the tools and will give me a warranty. The whole getting to know my car , I'm not sure what that's suppose to mean.

The motor is out of another car that was totaled due to hail damage.And the whole added insurance ... Well I can only imagine what it's going to cost to have a machine shop deck this motor then have a shop put it back together. It's a little more then what I thought I'd need to do. I went...

Well from the sounds of it I'm being told that this perfectly good motor needs to be machined ( decked ) because it's out of the car. With only having 115k on it I'm very surprised its so highly recommended. Makes me really think twice about these motors now.Anyways, I live on the...

SebbaWhy would I need to deck the block if it's in good running order ? I've never heard of needing to do that before. Other then scraping the old gasket off and/ or just using a long block sander to give it a good once over

SWEET !!!Ordered with my ARP head bolts and ERG delete platesVery Excite !

1996 gst

FEL-PRO HS 9627 PT-3 Head Gasket Set-Engine Cylinder Head Gasket SetIt's on eBay for $65Is this the kit I want ? I'm pulling the head off of my salvage motors I have and am going to go through it before I install the motor in my car.

Thanks guys.The salvage dealer I bought the motor from told me he personaly drove the car into the bay before removing the motor. And reported that it was quiet, with no ticks of any sort. Also gave me a warranty.It was pulled from a spyder that sat out in a horrible hail storm...

The motor in my GST went bang. Found a salvage motor with 100k on it. Even came with the turbo. Well the turbo was replace recently on my original motor so I'll be using that. What all should I be considering.I plan on replacing the head studs with ARP, head gasket , water pump , tensioner...

HAHA, you are the reason why I asked. I just read your thread on the head mod at its super trick. Lover tricks of the trade like that. Thank you sir

So there's tons of threads on builds, engine bolt on's, and engine mods. But when I wear engine mods I'm not finding what I want. I'm looking to learn about engine mods like taking some material out of the head and stud hole where the oil comes through to the head. ( sorry for the generic...

Thanks for that 1g tip. But I think if I bought a different turbo I wouldn't want to go to the 1G because I hear they have bad turbo lag.But that's for the info !Also, efficiency is the correct word I was thinking of.So pretty much after 15 pounds, and I want more power, a turbo...

Have you been driving it with a bad turbo , or have you drove it with the bad turbo since you've found out it was bad ?

Thanks for the help. I must haves is something wrong the first few searches.So what I understand is that 15-16 psi is max on a stock set up, but I guess I should have been more specific.What I'm wanting to know is what is the max psi on the stock turbo, engine mods not being accounted for.

Ok, so what I'm trying to do is search for answers to my questions. Like , what is the max boost on a stock 2g GST turbo.I've searched and can't findable answer.Can anyone answer or point me in the rite direction

Still looking ?

So I'm not sure if I searched correctly or not, but I'm trying to find a thread on things to replace before putting in a used motor.

Hey everyone. I happen to come across a 96' GST with 130k on it. 5 speed, red, clean leather , clean paint. Had a few upgrades already on it but nothing that would seem to make me think the car was ran into the ground. Replacement turbo, wheels and tires, wide band AF and boost gauge. 1G BOV...
