My 90 GSX: Project Black and White Pg 11

[cyclonekid77]

Well, it's been about a month and my thread is way over-do for a good update. A lot has gone down in the past month since I last updated this. :shoot: Heres some pics to give you an idea of whats gone down lately

I got the front k-sports installed finally. I love the camber plates in the engine bay

New OEM clutch master.

New OEM GVR4 timing cover with new OEM bolts.

Fluidampr is on.

JMF small battery tray.

I got my front brake/suspension setup just about done. Just needs a couple more things and she will be ready for track action.
New wheel bearings, k-sports, 2g big brakes, powerslot rotors, PBR Ultimate ceramic/kevlar pads, stainless braided lines. Should handle decent.

And somehow, one of those pesky snails found its way to my engine bay BW S256ET held on with a fully ported and polished 2g manifold, new OEM studs and nuts, and a Buschur polished stainless heatshield to top it all off.

The latest big project on the car has been started also...

I LOVE SC cars! There is no rust anywhere on this thing.

Where did my rear end go??? Don't worry, the rear will look just like the front when its done :thumbup:

If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. Let me know what you guys think!

it looks amazing so glad to see some one build a first gen from the ground up so they loose that reputation of well dsms breaking bs. but mainly to see one that looks so good people look at these cars and there saying damn thats old or ugly and thats what my buddy always said til i showed him sheps talon and he was just blown away by how good they actually can look its just that there damn near twenty years old and finding a clean one let alone one that looks like brand new is above and beyond mission impossible any more.

Absolutely amazing man.. I can't wait to see the end result of this bad boy.

Thanks guys. Im trying really hard to have the car running for the import showdown here in Ohio at the end of may. It might not be painted yet by then but that is my goal. I will keep you guys posted!

Wow, I wish that I would have been able to view these pictures a few months ago. I noticed that your S256ET fit without denting the water pipe. I bought my small frame S256ET because the vendor said that the regular compressor cover would contact my 6 bolt’s water pipe (I was deceived). Also, I noticed that your S256 does not have a nipple (barb) tapped into the compressor housing, which had cost extra, and I had to ask to have it done. I imagine, with your skills, you can tap it yourself to run an external wastegate pressure source (or tap your lower I/C pipe). Similarly, I imagine you are going to tune using DSMlink (or something else).

I plan on driving to the 2011 Shootout, in Wakeman, OH., this August, and I would be appreciative to see your GSX in person.

Thanks for the compliments! The turbo JUST fits with the 6bolt water pipe. It is very, very close. I actually had to tweak the pipe ever so slightly to get the clearance needed. I have link V3 full version and a socketed eprom waiting to go in. I will be tuning the car on speed density and E85. I am hoping to have the car painted and "done" for the shootout. I will be there either way though

Sweet i started mine but getting a awd so, i have to restart, you keeping the brake lines white? I removed the wiring from the firewall and moved all that under the battery tray it looks messy in mine but ill do a better job on the awd in the near future looks great, similar to how i would do it again.

 

[cyclonekid77]

you keeping the brake lines white?.

You asked me that same question on page 8 already... yes I am
