I have a 97 GST Spyder 5-spd.
I know I need a clutch, trans, and timing belt.
The trans whines in 1st and 2nd, no matter if accel or decel.
The engine itself has 125k on it right now. I did a compression test about 6 months ago, all 190, no smoke, no coolant burn off.
I have about $2500-4000 to spend. Really looking at 3k..I want a nice TV too...
I'm looking for more power maybe 300whp max.
My plans were the following.
Engine:
-OEM headgasket (multi-layer)
-ARP headstuds
Drivetrain:
-99 GST trans $300 (59k)
-ACT 2100 or some type of spec clutch (idk what spec to get)
-Fidanza flywheel
-Ebay B&M ss
-Shifter washers
Turbo/Intake/Exhaust System:
-E16G
-Ebay O2 housing dump
-FP or evo 3 exhaust mani
-Dejon j-pipe (to stock t-25 licp)
-Supra smic
-Snorkel mod
-ebay 3in dp and 3in catback
Suspension:
-Tokico spring/strut (adj version)
-Prothane total kit
-3g rear conversion
-new tie rods (inner and outer)
Brakes:
-SS Lines
I installed new pads and rotors.
Fuel/Tuning:
-DSMLink v3 (can I use a 1g eprom or only a 95 eprom?)
-550cc or 650cc injectors.
-STM return kit with fpr (cheapest way to do it that I can find)
-FP 255lph fuel pump kit.
Does this look like I covered everything?
LMK, if I should look at other items or processes!!
