My new GT-S

My new GT-S

the first few pics with flat paint are pre turbo. the rest that are kinda shiny (18 bucks in paint and sand paper) are turbo. yes the intercooler is crooked, i just tell people its for the jdm lean and they leave me alone about it. the whole setup was under 1g and so far im very happy with it. i dynoed with a severe boost leak that would only hold just over 6.5psi and made 150rwhp and 156rwtq on a mustang dyno (~170whp on a dynojet). the setup is all bone stock except for gze 365cc injectors, gutted tvis, and the turbo setup itself.



















and a couple videos... night time one was with a bad fuel pump, 3/4 throttle and just over 5psi vs. 20v gts hatch. day time was just over 7psi full throttle 15mph to almost 90mph in second and third (wait til the last half of the video for the nice pull).

thanks, and thanks

Cool car. I really haven't seen too many of these turboed, especially for under $1K. Does that $1K project cost include the price of the car? I'm guessing you must have done the labor too, right?

the car was a thousand bucks... then making it go from 16.8 at 85 to a piss poor 14.8 at 95 took 1 week of work and less than a thosand bucks. yes, i did all my own labor.

you scored a pretty nice car for 1K

wow, that's really nice! What are you gonna do next? twin charge?

thanks guys... i got the car stock bodied with a blown engine, thats why it was so cheap. but i still had parts from my old red one i just swapped over. its a fun car. the next setup that im currently saving for are gze pistons, 20v itbs, and 15psi hahahaha

Looking good - all you need to do is hide the FMIC with some black paint or put something in the grille to obscure it a bit. Better to know are fast instead of advertising it - plus side is that the other guys wil not know whats there unless you have a noisy BOV - the perfect sleeper.

bad ass dude, welcome back

haha thanks, and thanks. i got to talking to eric yesterday about coming back and here i am! its good to be back.

welcome back, we missed you here. car looks great.

car looks real good, welcome back man

thanks all... its good to be back

looks good, sounds great, awesome car.

im jealous

nice car. kind of like the set up i want to do, but with the coupe version when i get some extra money.

do the cops mess with you at all for the sound?

hottest car on the site hands down!

i dont drive it much. and its down at the moment because a bad fuel pump and im saving to build a good bottom end. but as for your question, since 2000 when i got my first gts ive only been pulled over 1 time for "noise" and no ticket was issued. when i have the whole exhaust on it sounds awesome and isnt all that loud (2.25dp to 3inch underdiff to 3inch burns stainless muffler, no cat).


turismo: thanks man, im not gonna agree or disagree but thanks haha

ive got major freakin plans for the engine though, its going to perform awesome when im done.

car looks good nice pic

did you happen to get it from a guy named Jon(who also owns a blue bugeye WRX wagon)?

Man Im soo jealous. I hope you get a real paint job in the future...

man i want one so bad

no ma'am i bought it from a close personal friend.

im putting a new fuel pump in tomorrow so if its running right ill try to get some more video.

well now i'm disappointed...i have a friend with one that looks EXACTLY like that and moved to NV last year...and i was hoping to harass the crap out of him since he said he'd never sell it.

nice aquisition.

:drool:... nice...

sorry for being such an *add picky picky type word* but the only thing I don't like is the croocked IC xD

other than that it's sweet as candy covered frosted stuffed jelly donut

Those wheels are the real deal man, love em.....and I agree, that intercooler is bothering me too now that you mention it being slightly of kilter.....but if it were my car, I probably wouldnt car either..

Hotness
