just picked up a 2g gsx

[coupe_nasty]

so i just picked up my first ever dsm. 1997 gsx with 28k original miles. As far as i know it has a hahn racing 16g turbo, a greddy front mount, 3 in downpipe, 2.5 inch cat back, greddy type s bov, and injen intake. any suggestions for making it faster? id like to tune it but know nothing about tuning.

Good god thats a good find! Take care of it or you're going to piss a lot of people off, haha.

Get something to tune it, ECMlink or you can grab a flashable ECU and use ECUFlash/Evoscan (which is the cheaper route for some people, myself included) but it works just as well.

i paid $8500 for the car. i will post pics once my camera finishes charging.

WOW

Also, that doesn't look like a GReddy FMIC.

<---- this is a GReddy FMIC.

And I don't see a J-pipe for the 16g? Or do Hahns not use J-pipes?

Very niceMagenta Pearl is the best. Given the mileage, and the likelyhood you won't have to be replacing anything much until the 60,000 mile mark, you got a good deal.

 

[coupe_nasty]

its the smaller greddy intercooler. the 18r kit i beleive.

Oh wow, I didnt know they made smaller ones. My b

 

[josh1095]

wow...... 28k!!! i cant believe it. you have a 1 in a million car there. thats an average of 2k miles a yr pretty much. unheard of. 8500 is a very good deal. congrats, now get some engine mgmt sys on it pronto!

 

[Frskrgps]

wow very clean. Nice steal there for 8500. Congrats

 

[Lookthatsme]

Wow that is a good find!!! Congrats. I'm shopping around for one now too.

 

[crankwalker95]

Did you ever ask the seller If he had any type of engine managment on the car already? Hard to believe he wouldn't, but you never know..

Good buy!

 

[mnNice]

wow. makes me regret selling my car. hopefully ill be picking up a 96 talon sometime soon. good luck with your car! i learned the hard way with my first car. but do everything the right way. it saves frustration

Ahh, my favorite color

You are a very lucky person, also I have that 3 piece grill on my car in black, it is very sturdy and molded for the car. I think if you painted it black it would look better but don't take it off because it protects the FMIC fins really well.

Anyways awesome find and like other said, take goooood care of it or we will hunt you down haha.

 

[GsXdSmKingGsX]

Hmm I was about to say the same thing about the Greddy FMIC as Jax.. Seeing how we have them ..

You checked the title to make sure that its a legit 28k miles right? Carfaxs do wonders.

 

[GST_IceTea]

what kind of grill is that?

 

[Boostinsideways]

Looks like a grillcraft.

[GST_IceTea]

what type of grill is that?

 

[Aproductions]

Boostin is correct, I even paid more than that for it when I bought it 3 years ago. My FMIC never had one bent fin on it (even through DD my car in PA winter.)


Edit: oh and if your bumper has that bend on the bottom middle (like a smile) it will hold that up perfectly.

 

[coupe_nasty]

so how much power will i gain by just getting a tune based on the bolt ons i have? I dont even think i have a boost controller so what is the factory boost set at? what is a safe amount to run with my mods?

 

[Jaxness]

Does it have an (aftermarket) boost gauge?

 

[coupe_nasty]

yes i think its in (bar). it gets up to about 1.0 in full boost

the guage says kg mm hg. i guess thats bar. all i know is that it gets up to 1.0 in boost. what is this in psi?

 

[Boostinsideways]

If it only has a 1 bar boost gauge you wanna get a good boost gauge asap.

1 bar = ~14.5 psi.

 

[coupe_nasty]

well what is a safe psi for the mods i have?

 

[Aproductions]

where you're at or less. If I was you I would get bigger injectors, 190 or 255 pump, dsmlink and boost controller. Also a wideband and better boost gauge.


Then a tune.

 

[Abe'sGST]

Whatever you do to your car, MAKE SURE YOU DO IT RIGHT, that's one very nice car you got there, very rare to find one in that good of a shape! i and i'm sure many of us would get mad if you make a thread about how you blew your engine up. i would hate to even get dirt on it, good find bro
