97 GSX: 2.3 Stroker with a T4 FF TS HTA3076

I'd like to find a couple local autox events but it all depends on these mods being done.

 

@We're on Boost
I was just wondering how your experience went! I am sorry to hear you ran into a similar problem but I am glad to hear you are satisfied with it overall! When I'm done with this round of mods half of the stuff that I had done there will be gone. I will be sad to see the FF stuff go but I am ready to give the car some personal TLC. If I could go back and do it again I would have made some different choices.

 

At the moment only external but that may change depending on how the car responds. There is some question as to what cams are in the head and the car went down hill in driveability the last three or four times I drove it. I have some concerns about the internals but I'm hoping I'm just being overly concerned.

 

Got a start on the new setup last night. Going to have to do some thinking on the hood latch pins and how best to fit the rad under the upper support but I think it will be doable. Stay tuned!

 

Yeah it's the 3" FP O2 housing. I'm probably over thinking it on the internals, just stressing over something I have no control over I suppose. It'll be what it is, I'll adjust as needed.

 

I was surprised they had one when I called as well. The FP30 housing I bought used. I'll be interested to see how the single scroll housing performs compared to the 1.1 I had.

Gotta love some peoples kids man! I don't NEED to sell. I'm happy to entertain any offer but don't come swinging at 1/3 the price, I'm just gunna poke fun at ya!

 

Some recent life changes have allowed me to refocus my efforts. We took legal custody of my niece and I won't be looking to sell this car in favor of a newer one. It made more sense to sell my 07 Cummins and buy a 16 Cummins to daily instead and will use it to tow this car to all the autocrossing I can manage to get to. I'm going to start tearing the car down for prep for next seasons autocross. I'm going to flog on her but at least she will get used, after trying to sell her I have realized few people care about these cars and even fewer want to risk it one something that has been so modified and I can respect that. I'll try to dive back in here once things start progressing. The plan is to sell the forward facing turbo setup as a whole, go back to an evo 3 16g and just play with her. Power mods will be put on the back burner in favor of suspension work from here on out.

 

You nailed it. Thats how I had always thought about this car. The decision to sell was a brutal one and I'm hoping this new arrangement will prove to rekindle my interest in toying with this car. With my niece here now my dad and his wife actually moved here to help. He will be helping me with the car and probably co-pilot it at events. I think at this point I just need to beat on the car and find that joy again.
