with the right tuning, such as the JWT ECU, the only thing u have to worry about is buying stickier tires.

thanks Javier!

for me in terms of reliablility... once I got the car running perfect I haven't had any problems. only issues that come up are the durablility of material and heat! get enough silicon couplers before you start work so you don't need to use Home Depot stuff, the rubber deteriorates very fast and absolutley destroys them. the heat generated from compressing air on top of the heat from the engine normally makes it a little oven under the hood. remember to protect the things that need protecting!

I'd take pictures but it's REALLY ugly right now! I mean like couplers that are different color, wires running everywhere, wires holding things inplace, unpainted piping, different colored vacuum hoses... you get the picture....

give me some time I'm purchasing more couplers soon to replace the different ones.

it dont matter how it looks, its how many ricers you kill! hahaha, not to mention hatin on some stangs

Show us anyway. I bet we can imagine what it looks like without the grime on it. We've seen the NPM car and javier and his brother's car with totally different looking setups.

Show us yours.

yeah james, seriously. We dont care what the piping, wiring and all that jazz look like. We (I) just want the power!
Id be proud to have an engine bay like that. Mismatched couplers and all.
I'd throw open my hood and show off an engine like yours at any opportunity!

James · Jun 25th, 2003, 09:26 AM

I cleaned up a lot of the wires last night, made a little mount for the positive cable for the battery since I relocated mine to the rear!

I'm going to try to finally fill my motor mounts this weekend and I think I'll take pictures then.

could you tell me where you got your downpipe and your o2 extention pipe

i am turboing my ga and i have the turbo and the manifold, but i just need a couple other things.
also could you tell me how many lines i will need, how long, and what size fittings, and how many other fitting i will need,
i want to use the bbdet topmount and pipeing could you tell me where to buy it from.

you can e-mail me at bigmke184@aol.com if you don;t mind helping me out

mike

thanks

also i am using the bbdet rail and injectors

Depending on what manifold you may have to have your Downpipe and turbo outlet pipe custom made. What manifold and turbo are you using?

as for hoses fittings and such you will definately want to do some research to learn abotu what all is required to make a turbo setup work. You will need an oil feed line and an oil return line for the turbo. And you may also need coolant supply and rturn lines if your turbo has a water cooled center section.

As for the BB DET top mount, that's not a bad IC you will wan to front or sidemount it though, piping is easier to make for that setup. You will need some mandrel bends and couplers to make the piping. You can always find this stuff for sale here in the for sale section or at sr20deforum.com They have a TON of used turbo stuff over there.

The BB rail will not work. You will need to put the 370 injectors in yoru GA rail. They will swap right in.

thanks WES helped me out alot
im going to make my own piping and use a inexpensive IC hopefully for under 100.00

im going to use a 1st gen DSM turbo and the manifold is from a guy on sr20deforums.com i bought it for 150.00

also wes if you still live in WI my bussies own revtek motorsports if you want too see a nice 95 200 with custom interior and a bbdet swap check them out also they just got their chassis dyno today so hit them out if your looking to see some #'s i believe their the only ones in WI with a chassis dyno

**wes** · Jul 25th, 2003, 10:11 PM

What manifold did you buy? I'm assuming it is for a GA16. Anyway the DSM turbo will most likely not bolt on to that manifold as mistubishi's use priprietary flanges on their OEM turbo's. Unless he bought/made a flange for the mistu. turbo. Just make sure you know what your getting before you get it.

Where are they located? There are a few other dyno's that I know of in WI. Hyperformance has one and a few other domestic speed shops have them.

James nice turbo stuff..... buuuutttt I still think I like 200se-Ts setup alittle better
