mid to low 9 sec. gst?

I can help with issue #1. Rear bumper.
The lightened bumper supports won't help in a high speed collision, but the stock bumpers don't do much either. The reason to use a light bumper is for low speed parking incidents. Having some sort of metal bumper lets other drivers know when they've bumped into your car when they're trying to parallel park behind your car. If there was nothing there, a bad parking job would crush more sheetmetal and taillights before registering as an impact. So consider your driving/parking habits. Either way, I'd recomend removing the rear bumper and save 30 pounds.

FYI did you know the 1993-1999 FWD turbo DSM's came with thicker front axles? Your power/ timeslip goals will break stock axles, so I'd recomend the upgrade. I thought you'd like to know before you dropped big money on a good LSD that only fits small axles.

Just to post another update... I finally got my motor timed and everything set with that.. Now it's time to pull the tranny and do the LSD.. Also I ordered my rear and front bumper supports..

My carbon fiber hatch.. Quality.. Suprised by quality of the weave.. Especially since it was by a no named company.. Still waiting upon the hood and the doors.. But they're only a day late..

The three lexan rear windows are immaculate.. Now hopefully I can find a shop they wont mess them up or scratch them in the mounting.. Especially since I want a silicone seal and not rivets.. Now just waiting for the lexan door windows.. But they were on back order..

The only thing i'm tinkering with that's giving me any kinda problems is the water methanol injection.. I'm debating on where to put the nozzles for optimum performance since i'm going with a m15 i believe i read on the invoice..

Pictures will be posted by the end of the week since my sister finally found my data cable for my camera..

2 big questions..

1.. With the water/meth injection would it be better to run a smaller nozzle in front of the turbine (.4 or a .5) to help with cooling inside of it.. Or should I just leave the one on my intercooler piping.. I've been reading through and through so many posts.. And people go either one way or the other.. No intercooler and meth before turbo.. Or intercooler with the nozzles inbetween intercooler and throttle body.. Not both.. The one before the turbine would be a 80/20 mix of meth or straight meth.. But minimal amounts.. Any insight?.. Besides puddling..

2.. Does anyone know a good shop for tuning..? The shop im dealing with now for a tune is for 91 octane (conservative for out of state driving if need be), 93 octane (dyno/strip/street)... I need a tune for 93 w/ meth, 100 w/ meth, and c16 w/ 150 shot of noz.. I want tunes that are 'balls to the wall'.. I could care less how far they push it and how close to the limits the tunes come as long as they dont blow my motor.. And even if they do its while im driving it after they tune it.. Any suggestionS?

If you are still going to use DSMlink, I would recommend the DSMlink forums for tuning advice, not a Performance Shop.

No one knows the DSMlink program better than the users on the Forum, trust me. I won't say any names, but a few very reputable DSM/EVO shops that have tried to tune DSMlink on some of the Link members cars, and it is obvious that they did not fully understand the program capabilities. They were trying to use their AEM understanding to tune Link since that was what they were used to. It's best to post logs on the forums and find reputable members to guide you. With a car like this, you will need to understand the program and make constant on the fly changes.

If you could post some pics im sure everyone will give you mad props. Im looking foward to them as well.

 

[whiteythepimp]

Haha.. Well just to give an update (i know i said i'd have time slips on the 4th from e-town), there has been a few set backs..

The biggest set back was the rack.. Talk about pissing out fluid.. I dont even know how i still had power steering let alone any kind of steering..

After that my control arms were rusted over completely, the bushing were shot, and my struts were blown.. (i believe it happened from having the car jacked up on only the drivers side and all the weight being on the passanger side for 2 months)..

I couldnt fit a full sized slick on the car no matter how much we shimmed the springs.. And the drag radials we mounted on the stock rims were tucking tire so bad we thought if i hit a pot hole i'd probably blow the tires from slamming the inner fender wall..

On the up and up...

I finally got my HKS ignition !!

I ordered my second meth kit.. It all depends on if I want to pre turbo or direct throttle body or tap into the nitrous bungs on the bottom of my SBR intake mani... (already have the first kit running post intercooler)....


And now for the Q & A

Does anyone have an feedback on the meth kit where I should inject the second nozzle... And no I dont want to hear 'reseach or search on this site'.. I have been for a while.. Found alot of interesting info.. But nothing particular to my set up.. Or advice on which route to go..

Does anyone know how to find a driver I need for my camera so I can get these damn pics up for everyone..

Is there a difference between the front springs in an awd suspension and the fwd suspension (coilovers)??..

 

[BeatupVR4]

I can tune the shit outta anything I touch..

This guy is hilarious!!

This is a joke, right?

 

[whiteythepimp]

Haha I dunno.. stop by the shop and see if it's a joke... Just because i've never tuned with meth i'm not willing to risk a 8k motor just because i want to experiment with tuning meth.. Ill do that to my honda first ..

And dude.. if you aint gunna give no advice.. dont even bother postin

 

[pneumo]

Have you seen Project Goodwill? Goodwill1
He has a lot of good info on his site.

Coilovers will fit FWD/AWD the same. If you get some eBay coilovers, make sure you get some with metal top caps. Many cheap kits have plastic hats that break.

SBR G60 on a 9 second setup? There's your first problem...

 

[whiteythepimp]

Yep your right.. First problem on a 9 second car.. I purchased that rubo just to be able to get the car running.. And at just alittle over $$500 bucks for it, Cant beat that brand new.. 35lbs will net around 580 whp w/ that turbo, w/ the correct supporting mods.. I already purchased another one... Dontcha worry bout that one

 

[1qkfwd]

I dont see a 9 second car in the making. Where are the pics so we can see the progress of what you have done. It also doesnt look like you did what you wanted to by the 4th. You should plan on trying to hit 12's before you even think about 9's.

 

[tbonitz301]

We wanna see some pics. I'm callin you out. Let's see them.If you are building something then great we just wanna see it. This s*** gets so old

 

[JOEY A]

So slimshady is in the house building a race car with no pics, and to many newb qeustions..


I find this thread hard to belive

 

[sbengineering]

I am enjoying this trainwreck in the making.

 

[gob4sho89]

Good for him for setting his goals high... I am really pulling for him to meet his goal... but it would be cool to see pictures of the car...

 

[GofaST4life]

i smell BS...

prove us wrong please...

OP hasnt posted in 5 days? Whats up with that?

Sorry Paul, too many beers..

 

[SilentKreeper95]

I love fwd cars....i love my fwd dsm's...love to launch them out the whole b/c its a challenge to get it going w/o too much wheel spin and hop...9 sec in such a short dream??? would love to see it but he has no proof, no pics, no posts!!! he must have realized that his dream is far fetched!! i'm happy w/ 13's in my fwd dsm...(don't have a turbo dsm anymore but looking for another)

 

[jking29]

I would love to see someone capable of these goals. I have a great respect for anyone that could build ANY fwd non-tube chassised car go out and make a 9 sec pass right off the bat. If there is, I want to talk to YOU!

 

[bastarddsm]

button happy...

 

[bastarddsm]

I bet Mr. Pimptastic actually did run 9's and decided hes toooo big for this forum now..

 

[blcknspo0ln]

No, you guys are just mean. On a different note, I've read the same thing for the past 5 years and I think it applies now more than ever. Don't ask about running 10's if you haven't yet run 12's.. One of the cardinal rules of the newbie thread. Oh well. I could almost understand if whitey really does have a tubed 9 second road runner at home, but then again, who knows. Besides, just because you have a 9 second X car doesn't mean you're going to magically make a 1990 GST into a 9 second slicked out track monster with little to no knowledge of the chassis you're working with. If someone truly had a 9 second car, they'd understand and respect the time, effort, and knowledge it takes into building one.
