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)

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.:dsm:

Well I've got bad news. I am parting the car out due to financial problems and I have another project that I really would like to focus on right now. Sorry to disappoint everyone that was looking forward to seeing this happen but I have a deal on something right now that I can't pass up. Don' worry I will be back for more once my other project is done.:hellyeah:

:cry: That sucks, this is one of the threads i was seriously interested in! You got to do, what you got to do though. What is this other project? Are you going to be selling the 20g?
 
Found a deal on an awesome procharger for my WS6. I've been wanting to do it and this is my chance.

Yes the 20g is for sale as it is and the small 16g is for sale with the BEP housing and all the other parts are for sale too. Or take the whole car LOL.

650's would pretty much be maxxed out at 25psi on a 20G. I'd say 750's to be on the safe side.

I got a td05 20g and just tuned it this week with 650cc injectors. They hit 80-85%DC around 22-23psi. So go with at least 750s.

where in the hell are you getting all of these BOVs so cheap?
 
Its a 6 speed:sneaky:

Right now it doesn't have much done to it.
Has 3:73 posi rear, slp exhaust, (no cats) hooker long tubes, hotchkis front strut brace, hypertech tuner, harwood fiberglass hood, hurst shifter, hypertech tuned, Holley 52mm throttle body.

Seems like I'm forgetting something. Paid 5k for this car.
 
Hey toofast I do have an MHI 20g for sale in the classifieds. You can Pm me about it if youd like.

Also I wanted to say sorry again to anyone watching this thread. I am going to keep in touch with the buyer of the 16g though and hopefully he will post a build thread.
