Operation 6th time's the charm:...95 GSX.

[ExtremeDimensions]

What's up guys! A bit of background on me. I've been in the DSM game since i was 17 years old. My first car was a 1996 5speed GS. The night I bought it I blew the motor!. Rebuilt it myself, which was the first time I ever worked on cars. Since then i have gone through a 96 GSX, 90 TSi awd, 96 TSi awd, a 99 GST (currently my girlfriends), and now....a 95 GSX.

So this is her below.......

She currently needs a heart transplant, as the previous owner ran her without oil....

So the current plan is to put in a 6 bolt block with JE Pistons and Eagle Rods. I will be using a 7 bolt head. VRSF FMIC will probably stay. ECMLink will be coming soon, and the 60-1 Garret turbo is going to be mated to an FP manifold. still deciding what injectors to go with, and whether to run E85 or not.

*funny note: the JE pistons and Eagle rods came out from my 96TSi, were sold, and are now coming back to me.


She's a little confused with the 2ga pink slip, 2gb tsi rear, 2gb eclipse front and evo style hood , but she'll get there.

Exterior wise, The Evo style hood will be going bye bye for a Carbon Creations OEM style hood. The paint is a biiiiit too loud, but i'm not sure what i want to do about that yet. More than likely will be installing a 2gb talon front end.


It's going to be a long bumpy ride, but Here's hoping this one doesn't end up as a part-out!

Got the head,exhaust mani/turbo, intake mani out, ARPs removed, Radiator is out (will be replaced by a Koyo). I unfortunately wont be able to work on the car until the weekend after thanksgiving, but at that point ill pull the block out and drop in the new motor. Woot for progress!
