Another RWD 2g

[99gst_racer]

This is a buddy's car. He finally got tired of destroying drivetrain components, and decided to go RWD and with an A/T trans. Engine is an aluminum rod 2.0L in front of a th400 tranny. His GTX4202r just came in the mail. I'll be starting a header build for it sometime next week. The car still uses all of the factory frame rails and the factory radiator core support. 9" rearend (still needs to be narrowed), 4-link, 6-gallon fuel cell, and EMS tuned. All of the chassis work was done by Troxell Racing out of Bridgman, MI (269-465-4855). They pump out some pretty impressive race cars over there, and their fab work is top notch!

As you can see from the pictures, quite a bit still needs to be done. It needs a coolant system, an entire intake tract, an entire exhaust system, wiring, etc... I have high hopes for this car.

Wow.

 

[Black95TSIawd]

Wholly shit.

 

[Guzman08]

Alot! I don't think he's kept track on the total amount of money put into this car. It's had just about everything badass in it at one point, so there's been a ton of money thrown at it over the years. I'm not sure if he wants to know how much.

 

[Colt4G63 also]

If you have to ask it's too much...

 

[viperlp01]

Who's car is this Paul? Pumpgasgsx?

 

[yoshi_tony]

damm! that is so bad ass PROPS on that project shit if im happy just doing a simple 6 bolt swap i would be jizzin my pants with that

 

[wkmitsu]

Thats going to be a badass car.

 

[Boostdclips99]

Awesome build. Looks like this could be done (somewhat) inexpensive relative to drag car costs. If you can find a cheap starter car, looks like it could be either gst or gsx and with some fabrication skills, you could have a badA drag car. good luck, post some vids.

Yup, Brian's car.

 

[TSimage]

, nice job but he coulda just went Auto on the AWD and stopped breaking parts. Manual's the devil.

 

[dsmdeliveryboy]

Doesn't Slowboy or BR make a RWD conversition kit for our cars? Looks beastly.

 

[1992GSX]

Damn.

 

[EclipticalGS]

he went that far why not 2jz?? That 4g looks puny in there but it should "decimate all" .

 

[TRSblader]

Looks like a great start. Can't wait to see the progress with this car

 

[Imback]

Were will the turbo be placed?

 

[gsxitement]

Holy hell....

This is a DSM build. The 4G is the only option.

Were will the turbo be placed?

We're not 100% sure yet. Waiting for the Tial turbine housing to show up before we build a jig to locate the collector. Hopefully it shows up soon because I'm ready to get working!

Paul, why did he choose the GTX4202R? From what I have seen of it, it is not worth the additional cost. I would have just taken a standard GT4202R and put in a GT4508R compressor wheel with a machined compressor cover and machine up a billet backplate with a TiAL housing for a better turbo that has an 80mm inducer/108mm exducer and has very similar spoolup characteristics to the GT4202R with an additional 15-20lb/min airflow.


Awesome buildup! I cannot wait to see more from it!

 

[jeyventura]

waooooo

 

[Imback]

I was going to mention the tial hotside as well. By the looks of the bay i assume i topmount. I would love to see a long tube on there but it would not be smooth. I'm waiting to see what you guys come up with.

 

[1990AWD]

Won't that engine have to come forward more or is there enough room for the thermostat housing in there?

nope it looks to be setup for a electric water pump
