My 2009 Progress

[All_Boost16G]

I bought my Gst about 2 years ago, and have been making into, and good daily driver/street car. Just now starting to do alot of work to it the part are piling up.

-New intercooler
-EvoIII Manifold
-Catchcan/Overflow
-Tubular intercooler support-Almost done and is perfect for people with 8/10 in cores. Could make these for people, or give you directions/measurements. Im using the first one that I made which means you have to notch the bumper support bracket alittle.


But here is some pictures

Sorry for the different sized photo's, they were all uploaded at different times, and I guess I did not do them in the same size.

Looks good All_Boost16G,purple powdercoating looks great

 

[shredwin]

your intake manifold looks really nice, its amazing what powder coating can do... we all love to see pics, keep them coming

Looks great so far, you have a well kept engine bay! That powercoat looks like candy, mmmmmmm...... candy.....

 

[All_Boost16G]

Yea teh candy purple was my second choice, but im glad I chose it. The throttle body is a 63mm 1g throttle body. So should help it beath alittle. The engine bay took alot of cleaning one or two days, and now miniumal up keep. I only drive it in the summer, but i try to wash the engine bay atlest once a week or every other week. I need to find new valve cover cap nuts, they look horrible. The valve cover its a hyundia valve cover, but when I got it, it came with the factory valve cover studs, which are a great upgrade.

whats the difference between the stock mani and the evo III manifold?
looks great!

 

[All_Boost16G]

Shorter runners, !g throttle body flange with 2g head flange, no egr. Thats the mean reasons might be more, theres about a 20 page write up on here about it. Good manifold, but becoming very hard to find, and expensive.

It was warm out, so I worked on alittle test fitting of my tubular intercooler support/bumper I made.(Welded by me, Im kind of surprised on How okay I welded) Should work really good, I did not want to notch out the brackets, but I did. This thing is seriously stout, I pulled on it acouple times, and its not going anywhere. I don't know what it will do in a crash, but anything there is better, than the nothing there. But I'm using clamps that are made to fit around a 1.5 in. bar that have a 1/2 in. threaded hole. Just need to make studs, and a spacer. Also I can make these for a decent price if someone else wants them, might try to make them different, only thing is they only mount the way I did if you use a 10in or smaller intercooler.

The half shaft mod on that throttle body is not good idea if your going to run high boost.

Looks good liking that bov, i powder coated some of my stuff too, but i think im going to change the color one day.

 

[All_Boost16G]

Never heard the 1/2 shaft being a problem. This car proablyl will never see over 22 psi, and at this moment might not see 20+ this is a daily driver, and at 15-17psi and a 16g this thing is fun. Also the BOV is a stock gready BOV, might have the top redone. Powder coat is awsome alittle pricey sometimes, but overall im very happy with it. I have got quite a few compliments on the color, and im happy I went with it.
