@BrokeWrench 5 ай бұрын

Thats easy. Rebuild it from the ground up with a proper budget. They are unreliable because $20 and a trip to home depot would net you 50hp. Then you could boost around until you found a bigger turbo for $300 and slapped it on. Make sure you set the boost to 21psi on the new turbo since thats what you were running on the stock one. Then when your maxing out the injectors and overunning the stock BOV (if you haven't switched to a crushed metal BOV) it blows up. Not sure why it died it was only 300hp or so

So I can tell you from experience being a part of the DSM community your gonna see why this car is so underrated. The 4G63 is a great motor which can handle a lot of abuse, and yes DSM are temperamental and that’s due to being beat and abused over time like this poor car has, but luckily it’s on the right hands and being able to make 350whp on the janky set up it’s on its very impressive. With some love and a stand-alone ECU and some E85 you’ll make fast and easy power, and the big plus is that it’s AWD even if the swap is dog shit, it’s gonna hell you big time. I’m super excited to see this girl come to live and rip down the streets. Just be patient w the car and get to know its character, welcome to the DSM community!

TLDR a 3" exhaust and some e85 would let this car easily pickup alot of power very easily IMO

I’m 2017 before the gsx raised in value I took my cousin to go look at a 98 gsx. It had a beautiful paint job and ran pretty good and and appeared fairly visible. It had a questionable strut tower repair. But looking under the car you were greeted with appeared to be a fresh black undercoating. Well we bought the car for 5k and needed to jack it up. The frame rail disintegrated. We realized the entire underbody was covered and behind repair. Eventually the rear control arm mounting point on the body disintegrated. The car was mechanically totaled. Now it’s my donor for my gst.

I did a conversion like this before. The rails are weak, and you have to use a 2 by 4 to jack it up. A gsx 3 inch exhaust is expensive and hard to find in stock. I used the gst exhaust which was cheap ebay thing and moved a bend in the dp to clear the transfer, also fabbed the axle back to be straight.
