I'm talking for the 98 that I will more than likely be getting.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

Sorry, should've read up more. Still applies though, 4g63t's just have a low, non-rice sound to them until you start getting into tubular manifolds.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

ah ok good to know but yea I am just looking to get a full exhaust system, manual boost controller, just some simple things to make mine quicker

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

tubed mani's have never changed the way my cars sound going from the stock mani

I just run 3in d.p. and 3in d.p. back on all my cars no resnators or real mufflers. I just buy the bends and straight pipe and make them my self

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

well that is something i am unable to do haha, just gotta buy the aftermarket systems still i have found some nice ones for a pretty good price

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

If you can find a Thermal R&D system go for that. They sound amazing, and not overly loud.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

What are like some good things to put on the 98 when and hopefully if i get it like besides exhaust, i honestly have no idea what to do

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

that's scary. possibly research more? for now, i think you'll like having an mbc, intake, exhaust system and that's all you need. You can upgrade to an Evo 16g, evo injectors, keydriver chip, datalogger, and you're basically almost set. All those parts will cost around $42,000....FORTY-TWO THOUSAND

If your really curious, I guess you could follow this guide http://www.dsmtuners.com/sub.php?page=tech

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

Those parts sound about what i'm looking at, exactly what i was thinking of doing, and then going from there, when i have the money, do something with it and yea we will see when i get it but i see lots of other things to do too i just dont know how or what to do there is just a lot of stuff i can do but like i said i dont know what to do

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

Yikes.

As long as the car you're picking up is driveable. Drive it and enjoy it. No sense of tearing in to it if you're not sure of the route you want to go yet.

You're right, there are a ton of things you can do to these cars. That's part of the beauty of these. As far as figuring out where you want to be, look at other people's set-up's, get a sense for what they have and their power, and you can get a sense of where you could/have to go to achieve your goals. Your list of things you want for it always seems to get longer too. But that's the beauty of a project car. It's a long term project. Take your time with choosing what parts you buy, and definitely make sure you have plenty of extra money and time.

If you end up going for the e316g towards the end of summer, send me a PM. Around that time I'll probably be upgrading.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

Well yea everything will be long ways down the road, i have to save up a lot of money hah and i dont get too much, so i will be looking for a long time before i can even do anything

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

Periods, sentence structure, please use them. Just get these to start with-
•hard intake pipe, with 2gmas adapter
•Boost gauge
•wideband if you plan to do some tuning
•boost controller (keep in mind, don't go cranking it up without supporting mods, e.i. bigger injectors, at least an safc to tune, and a wideband to monitor your a/f ratios)
•full exhaust 3"
•*Not necessary* but a fmic is a pretty easy upgrade, looks nice, and adds some performance.

Learn your car inside and out, top to bottom. If you're not mechanically inclinded, you better have money, or will just have to learn to be mechanically inlinded haha.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

Ok will do. And yea I will be looking to upgrade some sometime down the road, but for now I will be, as lingling said "driving it and enjoying it." They have plenty of power for me as is and upgrading will be something I have to look forward to.
