This is the Build Thread for The slightly functioning 98 GSX. Reply below.

After roughly 8+ years of moving my brick of a car across the country, I finally have time to get it back up and running. How much of a brick is it? It's a 98 GSX with maybe 62k on the body and hasn't ran in 8 years after a wonderful error made by a mechanic resulted in valves being embedded...

So I'm in the process of revamping my 2g and have all of the internals pulled out. That said, I'd like to replace the old dirty carpet but dont want carpet. I live near the beach and hate the never ending battle against sand in the carpet. If I have a rubber or vinyl floor, it'd be a lot...

So first off... admittedly electrical work is my weak area of knowledge. So bear with me. I was in the process of tapping on of the fuses on the interior kick fuse box and accidentally grounded a wire which then created a nice little spark. Sadly the result has created some issues...

When is a good time to replace the intake manifold. I'm completly stock right now but dont want to miss out on a good deal on a ported 1g mani for my 98gsx. By the time it gets here I'll have my FIPK, intake pipe, and exhaust. thoughts anyone?

Ok so no that I've finished a brutal performance upgrade (everything under the hood) I'd like to take a break from performance and work on the looks of my 2g. This is what I'm thinking (Inspired by a mix of the new Rob and Big Truck and the Rolls Royce Phantom Conquistador)Can anyone give me...

I've gotta question for those of you that have 60mm gauges. I have my GReddy 60mm EGT and Boost gauges but nowhere to put'em. I've looked everywhere for the full dual 60mm gauge pillar pods. So now I'm faced with 2 options...A) get a third gauge....which would be...I dont know B) Get the...

So I'm watching Elite XC and watching closely as they either give MMA a good name or bad name... So far in the first 10mins they're making it sound deadly and extreme. Giving more fuel to the fire to those people who relate it to "human #### fighting". Any thoughts?Goods.... So far Big...

I am just trying to see if anyone is running the JM FAB Drag SMIM and what they think about it... I'm running a GT30 sized turbo but I'm gonna be focusing on Auto-x. Just wanna see what people think about the low end gains on the "Drag" compared to "Race". I would assume that the race would be...

OK this is for a friend but here's the jist....Dude was driving down the highway when he hit a bump. From then on it sounded as if his turbo was going out. When he had his car running at a stop his idle would surge then drop to like 200 range before dying. He checked the IC pipes and...

I got news of this yesterday...<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EFeeE4gOGKk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EFeeE4gOGKk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"...

I was searching around to find out some specifics for which class I would go into seeing that I have the 2.4 swap when I stumbled across this site. Thought I'd share....http://performancetouring.com/index.php?categoryid=10Of course you may have to talk to your Regional Director for...

Real quick question for you 4G64 guys....I'm starting to assembly my engine and everything is going good but I've run into a confusing part. I'm putting on all new gaskets and seals and rings on this thing when I ran into the Intake CAM Gear...yeah the funny lookin' one. I realized that...

So me and my G/F got into the talk about when I'm done with building my new set-up (2.4L w/ SBR GT11) she wants to be able to drive it. My initial reaction was that this woman is out of her mind! So I wanted to do some research to find out what the general thought is on this.My thought...

So I finally have all the parts together and they are ready to head into the shop.6 Bolt G4CS Block Wiseco 20 Overs Eagle Rods ARP everything Polk Performance Stage IV Head Blah blah blah....So after reading about the pros and cons of balancing I've decided to go ahead and have the...

http://www.bizarrebids.com/I love the "Artificial Right Leg named "STUMPY"" one....

I'm just wondering if there are any differences between the 6 and 7 bolt 2.4L 4g64s? Is the 7 still prone to walking?

Ok I'm trying to figure out whether or not my deck was properly decked. I recently finished my 6 bolt was and was nicely suprised to have four valves break off during the intial start up. Did all the right priming steps. Everything was set as far as timing goes. 2 Cranks and we heard an...

Hey does anyone know who sells the 2nd O2 Sensor block off/ Eliminator?

OK I'm finishing up a 6 bolt swap and trying to solve this little issue. I look through the gallery and its seems like a bunch of people have different thermostat housings. So the basic deal is....I've got Square connecting to the turbo for water feed but I'm not sure if the circled pipe is...

This should be a relatively short and simple question.... I'm ording DSMLink and just want to make sure I'm getting the right options with my set-up.Injectors: Denso 720 Idle: 800 Launch: 5000 Rev Limit: 8500 CAS: Invert cam angle signal MAF: not running a Hacked 2g MAFMy main...

Ok real simple....can anyone post up a CLEAR pic (trust me I spent a good hour looking for a clear pic in the gallery) of the routing of the hoses from the front of the 1g Thermostat Housing. It would be so f'in helpful right now!!!

Umm yeah I've got a 1g water pipe and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me (or if they have a picture that would be awesome) where the little offshoot pipe (little pipe that faces straight down...to the right of the turbo) connects to. PLEASE HELP!Happy Thanksgiving

I'll keep it short and simple....I'm finishing up my six bolt swap and just want to know if there is a difference between the accessory belts for 6 and 7 bolts.

So I'm almost done with my 6bolt swap and like most of you that have done this said "F-That hose I'll get a new one when I'm done". Well now I'm looking to see if there is anywhere specific you guys go (beside mitsu) to get your new hoses (vacuum, coolant, etc......)?

Hey are all 95 ECU's EPROM?

Ok real quick question... How do you remove the stock rubber part of the engine mount. I'm trying to put in my urethane kit and I'm looking for some advice. So far I've seen a dude set'em on fire....and I would rather not use that method so let me know.

Ok I know it says everywhere that when you take you bearing caps off to keep them in order so you can put them back on...Well that didnt happen. So what order do the caps go in..If you can either send me a link or tell which page in chiltons then that would be great

Same cars as last year, some cool b-boy stuff but the real highlight (and the main reason I went)..... Ms Masuimi Max

Graphic Violence, Blood, Guns, Bad Ass Cars, Jessica Alba as a stripper, and a bunch of hot hookers. Best movie I've seen in awhile... Now a member of my top 10 movies. Any thoughts?:rocks: :thumb:

Real quick...Denso 720's aren't too big for a Slowboy GT11 right?

First off...Yeah I searched. Only to find pretty weak info on the GT12 and GT13.Anybody using the GT11.... To me it sounds pretty rad and I'm lookin to get one pretty soon. Now keep in mind before you start chanting "get a FPRED, GT35R, 3052"..To me bigger isn't always better. Seems to me...

Ok I'm not fully up to this point yet but kinda want to get this one out of the way. I have about 4bolts keeping my old 7bolt on right now and I'm wondering how do you reattach the AC and the starter when you swap the 6 bolt motor in. Are most of you guys throwing in just the block then...

Real quick question....I'm wondering if a 7bolt lower timing belt cover fit a 6 bolt...or do I even need the cover?

Ok I'm sure the title is causing some people to be react like "um just because you do an engine swap doesn't mean you'll have a higher redline" Well here's the deal... I'm doing a 6bolt swap and it's a fairly built engine. Just wondering considering it's mods what should I expect for a redline...

Pretty plain and simple...How much does the 4g73 weight? ?for those of you who have had to ship one or shipped to you. Basic Block and Head combo

Is it just me or is this a 7 bolt? It's being advertised as a 6...just wondering if I'm just dumb

First off I dont want to trample on any of the N/T guy's dreams of one day having 10-11sec 1/4 mile but I want to give those guys getting N/T's some advice. Start sending me hate mail now. Or add your thoughts#1 Decide now whether you are going for show or for go... #2 If you have dreams...

More pics to follow but this is what I saw after pulling the head tonight....If you are trying to find where those two valves are....here's a hintA)Shattered on #3 Piston B)Deeply enbedded in #4 PistonLesson of the day...Dont let a shop fix what you are fully capable of doing...

I have been into the DSM scene for about the past 3 years or so and although I am not suprised I am still angered about the company whose cars we all love. Why you ask? The title says it all. Crankwalk...An error that is caused not by how hard we push are cars or even what we attach to them...

Ok....Here's the deal nowAfter being told the engine seized up by mitsubishi...I've decided they are retarded and to f around with my car to find the real problem. Here's the history of the problem....65k on a 98 GSX No problems at all....until a day before I leave for canada for...

I was out of town and my friend found that my 98 GSX wouldn't start. Now heres some history....Car was running fine (never had a problem) until about 3days prior to this....My drive belt flew off....Got it fixed that day. Everything was good to go. Well I leave for canada the next day and my...

Ok, this is once again another "My car wont start" question, but here is the twist. I'm currently in Canada and the thing is my car is in California where I live. My friend is borrowing my car and now it doesn't start. It supposedly cranks but won't catch on and start.Here are the things...

Well I'm actually at around my 63k mark and I'm wondering if you guys do the 60k maintence yourself or if you take it to the shop. Thing is I already have my new plugs and wires and I can get my timing belt done for around $75-80. So should I do it all my self or still hand it over to the shop?

I dont hear too many talking about upgrading their intake mani so is it because the stock one is good enough... I was lookin at a venom or magnus. Is it worth it?

Ok My goal is a 11Sec timeslip I just want to see what everyones opinions are on this set up. So far "Stage one" is complete. Keep in mind that these are basic ideas for mods...Now I'm sure I'm leaving something out.. But I'm lookin for some guidance from the more experienced DSMers...

Now I maybe thinking too far ahead considering my current mods but I want to have a general idea on what supporting MODs I should get prior to getting a Big turbo like a BB (Ball Bearing) T3/T4 from RnR or a Slowboy BB GT 12. I checked out the tuning guide and I'm just making sure that seeing...

I'm a ways away from swaping the stock turbo on my 98 GSX but I've been looking at the slowboy ball bearing turbos. I haven't heard too many people talking about them. So what are peoples feelings on them? Or would I be better off with a 20g?

Alrighty I just got my 98 GSX and I'm in the initial stage of modding it. Any suggestions on intakes and exhaustsExtreme Technologies D.I.S. Filter or K&N Injen Pipe or Dejon Tool PipeApexi N1 or RNR Turbo back Stupid question but does Apexi make a turbo back cause I saw one for sale...
