even after all this i'm not satisfied and it's way beyond $1500, i'm in the process of a rebuild ... street porting it and moving to series 5 rotors, turbo rotor housings turbo intermediate housing... series 5 intake (vdi) , with all this work and putting a haltech i'll be just breaking ~230HP most likely, anyone care to comment? trust me, find a turboii unless you're going to spend much $$ on building the NA, or willing to be content with a relatively slow car, even modded. |

With all the current mods it should be pulling ~6.5s 0-60 times, but I no longer have access to the ap-22... should probably get one of the new gtechs. My justification for modding the GXL is reliability... tuning a turbo car is a bit more risky but the payoff is much better. To get the GXL moving I'll spend more than you have on your TurboII and not even get it going as fast, but I might be able to do it with one engine :P At least the car is fast enough to **** with i'd say at around 80% of the cars I encounter on the street. I've only had two experiences with all the current mods that made me feel really slow, one was an LS1 corvette, the other was a newer porsche 911 carerra, I actually hung with the porsche on some twisties but in the straights it was a joke... the twisties were probably the driver being a *****. I've been toying with the idea of a small turbo on my 'high' compression 6 port motor after getting the haltech... we'll see https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |

i got mine used from judge ito along with a used act 6 puck race clutch that we installed. but they go for around $300-$500. if your gonna do a clutch job might as well get a new flywheel. mine had stress cracks in it with the stock clutch... if anyone wants a stock clutch off my jspec its sitting in my garage. i gotta take pix of all the crap in my garage i wanna sell! |
A 4.3 rear, other then that, keep the money or spend it on the stereo/rims or some ****, your not going to make the car THAT much faster anyhow.
