Wow that’s crazy! I was just talking to a co-worker about how much I miss my car and now I see this! Unfortunately I went through a divorce in 2015 and was basically forced to sell it :(. Well I’m glad to see it’s still on the road! I spent several years on that build. That car was being parted...

U got this beast back together yet?

Excellent choice and yeah take your time

Heres my experience. In 1997 my best friend got a beautiful 90 GST for his 16th birthday. This was the first DSM I ever drove and I fell in love with it instantly. A few years later the timing belt broke and bent valves. Car sat for about 6 months and his parents made him call the local junk...

I unchecked those boxes and for the most part my car has been idling better. I still have random episodes where it will start idling very low and the car dies out. This seems to happen the most on cold start when it first goes into closed loop and when the car is fully warmed up. I'll start...

Wow I didn't even notice that. Thanks Robert, I truly appreciate your help

I'm also using avid racing (street) motor mounts and I really like them. Motor and trans are very tight! The only downside for me was having to buy longer bolts for driver side mount and the transmission mount seems too thick since it doesn't leave many threads for the nuts. Mine are a few years...

Just checked and according to my research I have the MAP assigned correctly. Sorry I didn't specify earlier that the bundle came with the mitsu-style sensor.Any other suggestions?

Really? I thought for sure i followed the instructions correctly but I'll check it out. I used the Mitsubishi style omni 4 bar map that replaced the stock mdp sensor. Thanks for the response

Thanks calan. That's a great guide, however I'm pretty sure that's not my problem. As I stated earlier, my idle was fine prior to SD install and I highly doubt one my ISC coils decided to go bad instantly. I also did another boost leak test and found no leaks. It's weird because sometimes it...

When I was still on the stock MAF my car idled pretty good. I switched to speed density and now my idle is all messed up. Most of the time I have to keep giving it gas or it will die. Also I can't seem to get SDairflowPerRev .25 and my combinedFT is off. I add deadtime and it doesn't seem to do...

Update: Mysticj is a really nice guy and he came to my house last Sunday. We tried to test the AWD version on my car but the mounts didn't line up. From a visual standpoint, it definitely looks like these will stiffen up the rear chassis so I look forward to trying it again once he modifies...

Sounds good to me!

I like your plan :thumb: Let me know what year/style GSX you're looking for and I'll keep an eye out for u.

The Spyder only came as GS or GS-T. However, many people have done the AWD swap on the spyder GST.

I'm glad to see you haven't given up!!! The walbro 255 should be more than enough. Are you still thinking about running a turbo plus the sc?

Here's the ECMTuning wiki on Speed Density Setup http://www.ecmtuning.com/wiki/sdsetup

Since you bought a Mitsu-Style MAP sensor then you don't use that 3-pin GM connector. I ordered the same cable a couple of months ago and was confused as well. You use the factory harness for the MDP sensor which is where the new Mitsu-Style sensor would be placed anyway. Then in ECMLINK you...

Oh... Now it makes sense:ohdamn: That's pretty funny.

No, it didn't come from the factory with floor mats in the rear.

Haha "graham cracker", not sure I've heard that reference towards black n tan interior before... Or maybe u meant u saw a piece of cracker on one of the mats? Yeah I know black shows everything but this car isn't my daily driver so they shouldn't get too dirty. The fitment and quality is good.

heres a start. I didn't spend much time on it. Wish you had a better quality pic. See if you can find a side angle of a high rise intake.

For you 2G guys with tan interior check this out. I just got the black set from http://www.brazilshopping.com/store/floormats.html. $85 shipped and it took 22 days to arrive.

Thanks bro! I like your setup as well! I mounted the catch can under the air filter.

A lil dirty but here's my 97 GSX: Rebuilt 6-bolt block & 2G head with FP2 cams. 600 miles and just switched to Speed Density.

Awesome, glad you got it fixed :thumb:

Sorry u caught that nasty bug. what are u doing with the breather port on the left side of the valve cover? Are u running 2 lines to the catch can and 1 to turbo inlet?

He's using a method described by Calan and doesn't need a check valve. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have one but it's not required. His catch can setup will be pulling vacuum and won't be seeing boost from the intake manifold.

Yeah I've watched many of his videos over the years and he's a big help to the DSM community! Glad you've got a plan now. Please post the results asap

I'm using -8AN lines. I had a shop weld a 3/8 hose barb on my FP intake for vacuum source. My setup is 2 IN and 1 OUT.

This is a better guide. I used PCV Setup #3 – Maximum Pressure Reliefhttp://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/the-4g63t-pcv-system.366890/

Since your low on cash, heres an idea. If the PCV valve will still thread in several turns then I would wrap it with thread seal tape (teflon tape) and thread it back in tight. Then later on just buy another valve cover.

A thread chaser might be able to repair the existing threads but I'm not sure what the thread size/pitch is. Typically if you tap a hole it's going to end up being slightly bigger. You might be able to find a heli-coil that will fit the PCV valve threads. I use a thin layer of RTV ultra grey on...

Before: This is how I bought my 97 GSX without motor or trans.After: Rebuilt 6-bolt block & 2G head

Yeah I wish you were close by because I would definitely be using your services! btw the custom catch can you fabricated for me is working great :thumb:

Correct, this is the kit I used. heavy vibration can reduce the life of the sending unit so mounting away from the engine is recommended.

Ofh with remote mount kit. I wanted to keep the Stock oil pressure gauge as well.

Thanks. From the top, autometer c2 boost, autometer c2 electric oil pressure, innovate mtx-l wideband

This isn't the Spyder version but here are pics of mine.

And yes the pull-a-part in Charlotte always has 420a cars. In the past 6 years I've been going there I've only seen 5 turbo DSMs but 100s of non-turbos.

Glad u got it out. I know this axel tip is hindsight but I always pull the ebrake, remove the wheel center cap and brake the axel nut loose while the car is still on the ground. It's much easier this way. Same goes with tightening. Get it all snug and put the car back on the ground. Center cap...

Let me know when you get it back together. I wanna see it in action :thumb:

This is a cool project! Never thought I'd see a supercharged 420a. I'm only about 30 mins from Salisbury so I'd love to come check it out.

Yes that part is replaceable and it should just pop off. I suggest going to the Pull-A-Part in charlotte to grab what you need.

Great job and $700 was a steal for sure! Did you check the timing belt? If you're not sure when timing belt or the tensioner was replaced then you should definitely put that next on the to-do list. I recommend using OEM belt & tensioner. Be sure to replace the balance shaft belt as well. Yeah I...

Look forward to seeing the new AWD version. We can test it on my car whenever you're ready :D

I agree with these guys. Pull both together and it will be easier in the long run. IMO the main downside to pulling the trans is dealing with the axels. I've had both good and bad experiences. A couple things to note is sometimes the passenger side can be a huge pain to pop out and you should...
