1990 GSX Daily Driver Build and Restore to 400 WHP

[91talon91]

Should have a few more lbs left in that 14B right? Should put you over 300awhp.

I think she's pretty maxed out at 21-22 psi, I don't want to push it more than that. My daily driving habbits (commute to work, etc) typically only see about 16 to 18 psi, usually even less than that. But at WOT it's 21lbs of awesome fun




I went to scout a couple locations for my calendar entry and snapped a couple pics with my point and shoot. I like it, I think I'll go back with a bigger camera and try get a cool looking shot.

I love the build! I've watched your youtube videos and your doing some quality work. If you are ever looking to get your pictures edited id be happy to edit them for the DSM tuners calendar for free. My latest DSM photoshoot http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/jordan-and-cams-dsms.485417/

Cheers! - David

Any updates on this at all, this is by far my favorite 1g build. Some of the best at home paint work probably ever done in my opinion. Amazing job.

 

[ErikTande]

Yep, I have a few updates I haven't posted yet, I'll get those up soon. Mostly fixing some exhaust leaks and upgrading the turbo to a TD06SL2 20G; billet 7-blade KTS extended-tip 20G wheel, 7cm2 housing. I'll get some pics up soon. Here's a newer one that I haven't posted yet:

Currently just daily driving the car and enjoying the hell out of it I'll get some pics and videos up soon.

On a side note, I started a youtube channel that is keeping me busy, I'm going to try get out a video every 2 or 3 weeks.

[91AwdBigRed]

Just got done reading your whole build thread on my break. Awesome car man, very clean!! subscribed to your youtube channel and build thread.

 

[TunedUp]

This is amazing! Just read all 6 pages and couldn't wait to see more while I was reading. Your paint skills are awesome. I am aiming to have a build like yours, but just under 12 second 1/4 times at sea level. Hope to see more updates soon! Keep up the work man!

 

[ErikTande]

Here's an update in video form, upgrading my wastegate so I can boost over 21 psi!

 

[TunedUp]

Great video man. You had me for a second with the failed attempt . I'm definitely bookmarking this post for later. Thanks man!

 

[92AWDHX40]

Loved that waste gate video.

 

[4stAir]

Great build, the car looks great I hope soon I can get my car painted. The color had me sold on the car in 2000 when I got it and I still love it today.

 

[ErikTande]

Latest update, forgot to post this here. Finally got my power steering rack replaced so I can get back to the drag strip.

 

[Calibreezgsx]

nice vid bro, I am going to have to do mine soon.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Thanks for the video never removed one no need to in over 20 years of these things

 

[buhay6]

Woah....Eric take it you got your car fixed from the accident?
Diggen the vids man

 

[ErikTande]

New video today, getting a baseline for my 12 second/400whp goal.

Man i need your gauge setup pillar pods are annoying and one gauge is just so much less clutter.

Yeah, I didn't want a bunch of gauges cluttering up my interior, that's why I went with the PLX. Right now it's just boost and wideband, but I can add other modules to it as well and still just keep the one gauge.

What do they go for? And who sells them, im offically done with prosport gauges theyre junk

 

[Vic321]

Awesome car man. Btw I saw you on roadkill. How did you get on the show?

 

[Kaj2gDSMspyder]

Freaking awesome!! I'm planning to restore my spyder as well and make it a 12 second street car. But traction will be pain in the ass.
