Ok, so heres the deal. I have a 95 GSX that i love. Its got 147,000 miles on the motor and trans and everything still seems to be running good. My following mods include....
Big 16g turbo ported
Ported exhaust mani
Extreme Motorsports UICP&LICP
1st gen crushed BOV
O2 dump
Turbo XS BC set at 15psi
255lph fuel pump
SAFC2
Water,a/f,boost gauges
ACT 2100 clutch
K&N Intake
3 in. greddy evo exhaust
3 in downpipe
KYB GR2 schocks
Front Strut Bar
Drilled&Slotted Rotors
Akebono Ceramic Pads
21x12x3 FMIC (not installed yet)
Sometime in the near future i wanna have the following mods on:
550cc injectors, fuel pressure regulator and my intercooler installed so i can get properly tuned and whoop up on all the mustangs and camaros around here. Basically i wanna complete my fuel mods for higher boost applications.
So....considering my car does have the mileage it has on it, im considering an engine swap. Looking online i know theres a few places out there that sell engines with anywehre from 30,xxx-50,xxx miles on them. Or, should i look on sites like this one and dsmtrader for a built engine? Would it be smart to swap a rebuilt upgraded internal motor in? Ive heard horror stories about reliability and things so im just trying to get some opinions. This car would be my daily driver until the end of the summer of 2005. Thanks guys
