Looks good, but 450hp on a gst should be 11s.

 

[kngofbrknprts]

I like it. I went 11.8 with 421hp in my gsx, you should easily been in the 11's if you can get it to hook

 

[jestoy7]

Nice, you should definately consider an LSD and some drag radials for track purposes.

Ya im getting a set of 10" slicks and i might have TRE build me a trans down the road a bit.

 

[doctor_shock10]

450 hp is def going to put you in the 11s unless you cant drive your car. but with those hp #s my mom could put your car in the 11s. good luck man

Says the guy with awd

On street tires, much easier said then done but with a proper set of slicks, 11's shouldn't be an issue with 450whp. Back when my car was fwd I ran a best of 12.2 @119 but with a 2.0 60 (drag radials not slicks). There was still more in the car to be had but I swapped to awd before I had a chance to go further. That was with basically the dyno #'s posted on my profile, except I ran 1-2 psi more at the track vs that street dyno tune.

 

[d1prospect]

your mod list certainly is capable of those times, good luck and happy tuning. as said before definitely get an lsd..

 

[boost4you]

Well last night we got a little boost happy and the car spiked 28 psi spun a bearing and has a very suddle rod knock we trailed it home and are pulling the motor this weekend.
looks like i might have to go cheap for a bit and just throw in a crank kit and do a re ring. But just to get it on the road not expending to get power out of it just need to get it back on the road for like a month or so, Im building my race motor on the side.

Slow down skippy. Who said you need a crank? Have it micropolished.

 

[Fabian]

I'm sorry, but I HAVE to ask this. What the hell kinda radiator is that and is it efficient? Why aren't we seeing more people use a rad like that if it works to save space in the bay?

By the way, AWESOME car, sad to hear about your boost spike issue. But GLAD to hear you're not afraid to use the 7bolt motor

 

[420Ant2G]

it's an aluminum honda half radiator...you can get them dirt cheap on ebay and they come with the fan...they are no over heating issues whatsoever with using one

honda half, I have ran them in two of mt cars never had an issue this one runs(ran) cold actaly

 

[Fabian]

ok but WHICH honda half!? Del sol? civic? are they the same? Thank you guys for telling me this! I gotta try that out on my awd project...

 

[99gst214]

Every time I have seen them they are labled as a civic half radiator. I believe that they are somewhat universal though. And yes you can get them very cheap. I have been very interested in trying it as well.

 

[boost4you]

Ya,im pretty sure its out of a civic....

 

[EclipticalGS]

Delete that power steering, gahhh.

Your bay is so uncluttered and nice, that ugly PS canister kills it.

Also, a 12 second fwd car could use a strut tower bar too, gonna have alot of torque steer.

And, get a catch can for that valve breather, and PCV too if you want.

 

[boost4you]

dude i like my power steering....but ya the wire tuck is super nice.

 

[95eclipser]

wow i the wire tuck looks great! guessing the Fuse box is in the cabin.

that manifold looks sick, hope you get it back on the road. i see a 2.3 in your future soon

what size thickness is the honda half rad??

 

[NET ERROR]

Very nice .. Good Luck

 

[boost4you]

just got my engine rebuilt...new crank and rebuild putting it in tomorrow....awwww

 

[Fabian]

good for you man! You should be on your way in no time! Hopefully that beast purrs like it did before

 

[DSMGraveyardinc]
