Thread: Next round of mods to come

  1. #1

    Default Next round of mods to come

    Well like many others, I have a fascination with seeing how far I can push the stock turbo with bolt ons and tuning. :P

    Here is the next round.

    WOT ported IM
    WOT ported TB
    WOT ported 10.5 hotside
    GM boost solenoid
    Cams and gears
    Headstuds
    Valvesprings and retainers
    Upgraded clutch and SS line
    Lighter FW

    This is about 3K worth of parts and hope to be making some more TQ and better throttle response. :lol:

    After I roll around with these new toys for a while I'll probably switch the green in for my 30K mile celebration.

    Not sure what cams to go with...so many options available. I know that Bryan is more familiar with Cossie and HKS, but part of me wants to try something different (Tomei or Kelford)

    As for the gears, I am hoping that I can still buy some of those non-slip guaranteed cam gears (the ones that lock into place)

    And as for the clutch, I am looking into ATS stuff. I was very impressed with their FD on my ITR and I wanted to give their evo clutch a try. Looking into an FD and gearset as well, not sure if they make them.

    -sending the FPgreen hotside to MIL.SPEC for porting
    -Koyo radiator
    -Samco Radiator Hose
    -ARC bling I/C pipe (got it used :P) CVR flaked on me....no pipe
    -GM Boost Solenoid

    Then April "420" Izz A Celebration BitcheZ! Round
    -Cosworth M2 Cams or GSC S2
    -Supertech Ti valvesprings and retainers
    -Power Enterprise Timing Belt
    -HKS Cam Gear

    -MIL.SPEC 65mm TB
    -MIL.SPEC ported intake mani

    Then Comes the "G/F bday month gotta get myself shit too yanno" Round of mods
    -Exedy Stage II 4 puck street clutch
    -Lightweight F/W

    very nice.

    The fidanza gears have issues. I would go HKS personally. Been running them on my personal evo for over a year. Whtrice also uses a HKS gear on his 9.

    Nice updated list. Not to sway you one way or the other but it would be nice to see results
    with the GSC S2 cams. I have the Cossies and can't complain but the GSC specs look good too.
    Personally I don't think you can go wrong with one or the other.
    Either way keep us updated...Inquisitive modders need to know.

    HKS is a light setup too. Less rotating mass.
