What the heck................I guess I can do one of these. It's kind of late b/c I already bought most everything. But here it goes.
Car details when I got it: '99 GST, auto, 80K miles, cloth interior, alarm, ricer tail lights, muffler (not even a catback), Enkei gunmetal/polished lip 18" rims, cut stock springs (I hate the person who "modded" this car)
July '08
- Got the car from my dad. He had it sitting around b/c he got it in on trade on another car
- Traded tail lights for a stock set from some guy in Omaha.
Aug/Sep '08
- Installed an ebay intake and adapter that I had left over from my Stealth
- Bought & installed Greddy UICP, ebay Type-S BOV, & cut the BOV tube inside the intake to make it louder :D
- Eliminated EGR (thrown the code ever since, I may put it back on)
- Installed some nice Kenwood 6.5" speakers that I had in my Stealth. It already had some Alpine 6x9's.
March '09
- This is when the madness started. I was not going to mod it further, but I blew the stock T25 and found a 14b to replace the T25. So I installed the 14b, but it was on stock boost, and I knew that it had more in it. So I had to get just a few more things……………………..
- Little problem here though is that I bought a SS feed line that feeds from the stock 2G oil filter housing. Well 14b's don't like that, and I smoked the turbo. So I got a 1G oil feed line and just fed the turbo from the head (stock 1G location). I couldn't find a replacement 14b though, so I borrowed one that worked.
April '09
- Bought an ebay 3" DP (eliminates the stock cat) & installed an O2 bung for a wideband
May '09
- Bought a gauge pod for (2) 52mm gauges that replaced the stock speedo bezel
- Bought an ebay 3" catback
- Bought spark plug non-foulers to be used as a mechanical O2 simulator
- Installed DP, Catback, & Mechanical O2 sim. As I was installing it, I found out that the catback had a 2.5" necked down portion on the front of the exhaust to mate to a stock cat. So I bolted it up to my 3" DP flange anyway, but the way it was tweaked made it rub on my frame.
June '09
-Bought some PTE 550cc injectors
July '09
- Fixed my exhaust by cutting off the 2.5" flange and necked down pipe and welded on a 3" section
- Bought & installed another 14b so I could give back the borrowed one. Well this stupid thing had a broken turbo/O2 housing bolt, so I have an exhaust leak that is really annoying.
Aug 8, 2009
- Bought AEM UEGO (30-4100)
Aug 10, 2009
- Bought AEM Tru Boost Gauge/Controller (30-4350)
Aug 11, 2009
- Bought '95 E-prom ECU
Aug 14, 2009
- Bought Walbro 255lph high PSI fuel pump
Aug 18, 2009
- Bought Motul RBF 600 Brake Fluid
Aug 18, 2009
- Bought AFC NEO
Aug 24, 2009
- Bought full 5-speed conversion - transmission, axles, starter, trans mount, brake & clutch pedals, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, shift knob, & shifter assembly
- Bought ACT lightweight FW
- Bought ACT 2600
- Bought ACT unsprung 6-puck clutch
Sep 1, 2009
- Bought Bullseye TO4B 50-trim turbo w/ internal WG (1.3bar spring)
- Bought ebay O2 housing with a dump tube
- Bought ebay SS clutch line
- Bought ARP headstuds
Sep 2, 2009
- Bought & Installed (well, sort of) 245/45/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-2 Tires. Well since the idiot that had this car cut the springs to drop it, they were just a hair too big and rubbed on my rear suspension. The fronts didn't rub as long as I didn't take a corner too hard. It's too bad b/c I actually like these tires.
Sep 4, 2009
- Bought Greddy 24V FMIC setup (piping from turbo to TB) - nice aluminum piping and core
Sep 8, 2009
- Installed O2 housing with dump tube. It sounded great, but was still on stock boost. Another problem here is that I broke off another turbo/O2 housing bolts off in the turbo, and stripped the nut during the process. So it's being held on by 1 bolt at this point. So the exhaust leak is even worse. Can't wait to get my new turbo bolted up.
Sep 10, 2009
- Installed Gauge pod
- Installed AEM UEGO
- Installed AEM Tru Boost gauge/controller.
- Installed AFC NEO. Well problem here is that it reads WOT when I barely touch the throttle. So I figure TPS, and I swap it with another one. Nope, same problem. So at this point, I will try another TPS just to be sure. If not, it's a wiring issue somewhere that's flashing it up to 4.75V instead of giving a linear curve. Or maybe it's just the AFC that's not reading it correctly. Who knows.
