Hello there, I recently got back into the DSM game after selling my old talon.
I just got a rust free black 1990 GSX with an awesome condition checker interior and have been stocking up on some parts for it as well as using parts that were on it when purchased.
My plan is just to push the small 16g to its limit and then get a larger turbo afterwards.
Here is my full mods list.
ENGINE AND TRANNY
1..20 6 bolt with wiseco 8:5:1 pistons, Shot peened rods, ARP studs (balance shafts removed and no AC)
2. 3 angle valve job rebuilt head with 272 cams
3.ACT2600 clutch
4.Shep racing #1 & #2 syncros and shift fork
TURBO AND EXHAUST
5. Ported 2g Exhaust manifold with 44mm HKS wastegate dumped of course.
6. Small 16g with Bullseye housing ($270)
------Ported inlet removing the lip (as seen below), j pipe outlet ported to 2"
------Turbine side ported to 7cm and smoothed out all the way to the bottom. Exhaust oulet is also ported to a full 2.5"
7. Tubualr 2.5" O2 housing ($100)
All of the porting is done like this. Smooth as glass. (Had not gone all the way down yet when pic was taken)
8. Full 3" turbo back no cat and dynamax bullet muffler ($120 for piping and muffler)
FUEL
9. -6AN feed from filter and return
10. Aeromotive AFPR
11. Walbro 255lph pump ($20)
12. 650 injectors ($120)
INTAKE
13. 3.5" cold air intake to stock foglight location
14. 34x8x3.5 FMIC like below 2.5" inlet and outlet
15. Full 2.5" intercooler pipes short route straight to D openings near rad
(small 16g clocked so the j pipe oulet is facing downward. J pipe is just the flange with a 2" long 2" diameter section coming off with a 2"-2.5" 90 degree elbow) ($105 in couplers and clamps)
16. MAFT with 3" MAS ($150)
17. Dual type RS bovs (vented) ($70 for both)
18. Port matched intake manifold
COOLING
19. Fluidyne aluminum radiator with (dual 12" 1500cfm slim fans ($44))
TUNING
20. SAFCII
21. Stage 3 EPROM
22. Data Logger
23. HKS turbo timer ($25)
MISC
23. deleted cruise control
24. deleted vaccum lines
25. Dual -8AN breather lines from Valve Cover to catch can (in progress) ($100 in an fittings and lines)
26. NGK wires and plugs
Seems like I am forgetting something but I will figure it out if I did.
Anyways let me know what you think, what you would change, and what you think the car is capable of. I know I hate to bench race but its winter and I can't just get out there and do it for real yet.

. Not quite that bad. I am not getting the stupid 50 trim though. The whole process has been a huge headache so I think I might hang on to the hahn 20g and eventually put my BEP hot side from the small 16g on and see how fast I can get it to go.
