[williambogner]

Here are pics of my first GSX project car. Its a 1997, first DSM ive had and got it for a great price. Tell me what you think. Can somebody tell me what kind of radiator I have and where I can get fans for it?

It won't let me view the pictures! it says a password is required

 

[williambogner]

sorry. now its there!

Holy crap did the engine bay get attacked by a sand storm while the outside was covered???

I like that car though. The rad look like a typical aluminum one. Give Punishment Racing a call, I believe those rads take universla fans which they sell and some even take the stock fans with a bit of modifying.

Thats why it is a "project". Looks good. Can't wait to see it all finished.

My twin! Good luck.

well at least the car looks okay so you wont be drawn to the dark side and buy things for it to make it "look" better, and can focus on performance!

Thats what I bought. I was feeling lazy and had heavy pockets at the time. It fit like a glove. But here is the list of fans from the parts catalog. I have a radiator that looks similar to your too.

Body looks Beautiful, but that motor whew man good luck, it will be a really good project, now what I'm gonna need you to do is go back to the person you bought it from....and put your foot in their ass for not taking care of that motor.

i've heard that the 1g intake manifold flows better than the 2g does

 

[jestoy7]

If you have a 2g head, the 1g intake manifold's runners do not match up as they are larger. Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you, but I love the Magenta Grey pearl.
