WL: 2g "AUTO" GSX.....Shainesboostin

[shainesboostin]

Well, I guess it done. Nothing to spectacular but it turned out decent (I Think). I bought the car with a Bad head due to timing belt slippage, and tore into it some more and found balance shaft bearings in the pan. So, I went from there. Had an engine sitting around so I removed the balance shafts, new gasket and what not, ect.

Mods:
Hks 264's
ebay 20g lol
Punishment racing FMIC
Dsmlink v.2
some other rarndoms.


Heres when I got it...

exactly, as soon as they found out they could run better times and not destroy the transmissions like all the shitty manuals.

[Kelvin]

well kind of, if youve got the money, you can definitly make a manual dsm fast. ill find my weak link real soon since im using stock cv shafts and tcase.

**** yea! I need to get it tuned tho! I gotta find someone who knows how thats somewhat close to lincoln...

[Mits3kGT]

What made you want to go with an Ebay turbo? You've got a decent set-up, but the fact its got a "cheap" turbo doesn't seem to quite do the set-up and the car justice. I've heard good things, but also a lot of bad things about the "ebay turbo's". Hope all does well for you shaine, good lookin' car.

[Maas]

Good **** shaine.

Honestly, Its all I can afford! I guess I will fun it til it does go out. I think you can have them rebuilt and balanced? And thank you very much!

[shainesboostin]

[shainesboostin]

Its a N/A automatic. It was given to me, I saw it sitting by northeast for a while and asked if he wanted to sell it. He said "the transmission dosent work, if you can tow it today you can have it". So I took it.

[Yngvar]

Why didn't you stick with the 16g?

[shainesboostin]

Why didn't you stick with the 16g?


I switched the hot side, and when you spun the turbo itself, you could here some "chatter" every few turns...:mad:
