What happened to the rocker panel?
rust rust rust lol. It was beneath the side skirt, hard to see unless its off.
Yeah i didnt even notice the side skirt was off i seen that after you mentioned it.The valve cover looks so much better then it did before.
thats an ebay 16g
Looking good! Thats gonna be one quick car when your done...
pretty sweet if i say so myself.....
if you look at it its an evo 8 stock turbo. look at the side the turbo is on in reference to where it would be on the motor and it would face the drivers side.
personally i wouldnt go that route as everything needs to be fabricated. also if you look at the numbers you see the tdo5hr meaning its evo orientated and 01520 means its the same as a small 16g but with the slightly larger hotside it is good for in my math around 340-360 with the right setup and around 26 psi.
:jealous:
EDIT: Pics are misleading. I never posted pics of the new turbo, though the numbers are nearly identical
ohh nice, we have it hooked up and drove it down the road. It's got some nice power compared to the stock turbo. The stock bov on the 2g's are so quiet though. I'm trying to source up a pipe compatible with the 1g bov, those are nicer sounding.
yea that is an ebay 16g. i was going by the wrong pics apparently. you can tell by the wastegate arm for sure.
Update!
We started with a 10ft length of mild steel 16 gauge 3in exhaust piping. Fabricated it up to make the necessary bends for the gsx, added a magnaflow high flow cat, and put on a Vibrant dual tip muffler.

This one's just showing how straight the pipe is compared to the drive shaft.

I absolutely love the tone this car has. It is pretty loud but overall I think it's got a nice sound.

the way the 4g63 and 64s sound turbo are a thing of beauty. looks great. Hopefully i will be buying Jill a nice 98 GSX i found with 79k on it.
i like the sound of that thing! I wonder what a resonator would do to it?
Wow, that is nice.
Add an 18" high flow resonator or glasspack to have a more deeper tone, and it's perfect.
That sounds nice!! & i agree with Chris on the resonator
I'll see if I can talk him into getting one lol. He loves the sound right now so it might be hard to have him change it a bit. I'd love for it to be a little quieter but still the same sound.
The Evo block is a late 97-99 2g block. That's y the dipstick is in the back for the evos
