#12, "update on project GSX (56K No Way)"
Nov-05-06 04:00 PM by hookduphatch



          

So I've been hard at it ever since i picked up the car. For those that don't remember, the car was completely stock when i bought it, so everything done is done by me. Ton of pics.

a couple stock pics first:






couple of both my rs and the gsx:





one of the rs chilling in montana with its new owners:




now on to the good stuff, pics of the gsx in work and finished products. i'll put little descriptions underneath some of them:


old exhaust including downpipe and cat after being taken off the car.

new apexi exhaust and downpipe.

under the car after the old exhaust came off.

new muffler in position.

new exhaust is so huge!

see above.

rockford p162s 6.5 inch components up front. took out the little crossbeams for fitment and overall aesthetics.

fun little tweeter install. one of the two per side that comes with the rockford components. took out the cone and motor structure of the stock tweeter, and put the new one in the basket. turned out super nice.

new wheels. msr black 6 spokes, polished lip, kumho ecsta tires.

little side shot.

greddy shift knob, linked to a pacesetter short shifter, apexi black auto timer, and alpine cda-9855 headunit. very happy with the way that turned out.

extreme psi hard intake pipe with k&n filter. hard piping kit, and turbosmart dual port blow off valve. not happy with the piping kit, so will be doing a short route setup when i install the fmic. piping is on the way. that'll also change where the bov sits.

nice little closeup of the bov

brushed aluminum bezel trim. i like it. keeping the gauges stock.

closeup of the dremel work i had to do to get one of the gauges to fit.

not perfect, but i can definitely live with it. can only see the cutting from that angle anyway.

prosport boost/vac and oil pressure installed, during the day. they light white to match the stock gauges.

same gauges at night. light to amber to match the stock gauges.

apexi s-afc 2 black edition mounted but not yet wired in.

pacesetter short shifter/center console ripped apart.

everything put back together.

the garage.

my pile of parts and tools for the car.

that's right, watching tv while i'm under the car.

i should add that all the wiring takes forever because i go through and use my air force electronics skills to do it right. there's not a single connection that hasn't been soldered and heatshrunk.

still got a ton of parts to put on the car:

new hard piping, black coated
new silicone couplers
new t-bolt clamps
fmic
evo3 16g turbo, exhaust manifold, and o2 housing
stainless oil lines.
turbo xs boost controller
walbro 255 lph fuel pump
dsm fuel pump rewire kit
pte 680cc injectors
procomp adjustable black shift light
adjustable fuel pressure regulator
fuel pressure gauge
urethane shifter bushing kit
nx ntercooler kit (not really to use, just to have)



i'm sure i'm forgetting some little tidbits, but that's the gist of it.

Why does your sig say GS-T?

Do you have an Eprom ECU? If so you should have went with DSM link with all the money you've spent.

The pic under the car (with jack stands) looks quite familiar. As a matter of fact, I have that same photo opportunity out in my garage at the moment. Good to see that another DSM is getting the proper work done to er. I must ask, is that gauge which is being an issue a mechanical? In all honesty, every electrical gauge I know of doesn't have this issue. I've never really looked into mech. gauges however. Lookin good and keep it up. Pics are always welcome.

Looks good man. Keep up the good work. You found a really clean car to start with as well. That's always a plus. And you can verify if you have an EPROM ECU by taking out the ECU (under the radio), take off the cover, and look for the EPROM chip.
