My New 2g

[bpk1337]

I just got it 2 weeks ago. Its a 97 GSX. Let me know what you all think. Havn't really done much to it yet. I'll probably either get new rims cause i dont like them much or paint them bronze. It needs paint bad. Mods on it are in my profile. haha..

Your engine bay is super nice. I remember when mine looked like that.

hah yeah i cleaned it up the day i got it. =) it was super dirty

The vented comment refers to the picture showing your bypass/blow-off valve venting to atmosphere, yet you're using a stock MAF sensor in the stock location (pre-turbo). This doesn't really work well, generally speaking, as the system wasn't designed to run in that configuration. You should re-route your blow-off valve back into the intake or risk drivability issues.

Thanks for the info! I assume there is a thread somewhere on how to do this? haha any other flaws in there you guys see that i can work on? i love doing little projects

You need a pipe that does this...

There should also be a vacuum line from the nipple where that little air filter is on your valve cover to the intake pipe(pipe between big air filter and turbo), there should be a nipple on it.

recirculate that bov. not bad though, the pictures in the dark did a good job hiding the oxidizing paint

engine bay looks very clean, "looks" to be reliable, thats the important part it's up to you to keep it that way.

 

[bpk1337]

ohh okay i get what your saying. Thanks for the input guys. i'll probably relocate the bov this weekend... or once i find where to get a tube like that..

yeah i took those pics in the dark on purpose to hide the crappy paint hahaha its pretty bad in person..

 

[pullerfan]

are you just gonna repaint it black?

Very clean I am almost jealous. I would like mine to be black but I am more concerned about getting things up the way i wan them.

 

[vaboys2ndgen]

Wheels look better bronze IMO also, Car looks clean congrats on the guy.

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

the wheels look better in dark bronze like you did there on thep hotoshop

 

[bpk1337]

Thanks guys. I'm glad you all like it probably gonna be using dupli color wheel paint to paint the rims. Seems to be close to what I want them to look like from the pics of seen of people that have used it.

Definitely remove that breather from the crankcase vent on the valve cover, and reconnect the line to the stock intake. Even better would be an inline catch can or a filter to still allow the airflow into the crankcase but not let the oil into the intake.

 

[99 GST-R]

Nice GSX. I wish I found a clean black one before I got my GST. Those rims are nice. What kind are they?

 

[untouchablecc]

Sweet, dont let the paint get to you i have black paint an i hate it cause it shows every scratch but all in good time man nice car.

 

[sonik619]

How much did it cost?

Will do thanks. I Pulled the bov out the other day and i saw a layer oil around inside the pipe. is that normal?

The rims are... Nex-O ? ive never seen them before until now

How much did it cost?

The asking price was 7k i got it for 6

 

[97dark_angel]

any pic of the inside. how many miles? and it looks good i got mine tsi 97 for 3950. with 110 but my pain is so much worst

 

[mattdev]

How many miles? Decent price if it's low miles, got mine for 5.1k with 115k miles.

And I would ditch those wheels also. Sell them on ebay and get some money, some poor bastard will buy those...

 

[Project90Talon]

bronze the wheels, nice car though, better starting point than what I got.

 

[tristanmb81]

when you begin playing with higher boost, i suggest you remove the breather from the valve cover and just run a hose going down the engine. otherwise you would have oil all over the engine... just my 0.02
