With Turbo and bigger injectors and pump with headers and intercooler in wouldnt i need to to upgraded my ECU or get piggy back also i couldnt find headers for gs-t i could only find it for gs or rs at tunning shops am starting to painc with parts also can i do anything else to my ignition sytem other plugs and wires ?
It seems to me that you are just wasting all of our time,anyone else feel that way??Yes you will get smoked,so you might as well hand him the slip and save the embarrassment of defeat.If it is indeed a blown 305 as you say,you have no chance.Also please get a grip,turbo cars do not have headers,that is why you only find them for rs or gs.It is called a turbo manifold.And you ask for advice and dont even read,sanguinius said 3 times what he would do and at the top of the list------a piggyback ecu-----but here you ask anyways.All im saying is if you are asking for help,just read what we write,dont read what you want to read and thats all.Also i want to know the big deal about backing out,did you have a written agreement?If not fuggim,whats the deal?Whats he gonna do?.....

Well first off I've given QUITE a few tips some of them even free work that can be done. Now the motor mounts... If you get the big beast turbo and remove the balance shaft then you will need either A. better motor mounts, or B. strengthen the ones you have. Check and see if the mounts you have currently are torn all the way around if any are then replace those ones. After that you want to take the rest of the stock ones (If you're going the beef your current ones route). Take 1 motor mount at a time (be prepared to garage it for a bit you'll be out of commission with that car until this is all done) get a tube or 2 or polyeurethane epoxy. Fill the mount everywhere there is rubber. Make sure the metal stays clean. let it set and harden (Probably a good day or 2 to fully cure) reinstall that one on the car and remove teh next one. Repeat process. If you have a hoist you may be able to hold the eng/trans up and get all the mounts at once. Just a thought. Also as for the clunking when does it happen and can you recreate teh sound consistantly? If you CAN recreate it consistantly then what EXACTLY are you doing that causes it (Need to know if I'm gonna troubleshoot it)

I can't say I agree. I mean, the guy is just worried about losing his car. He wants to make sure he gets what he needs to try and keep up. I do agree that backing out wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Personally, I would ask one of my friends to do me a favor, and follow him at night, and try to get him to race, and see EXACTLY how fast his car is. I'd be doing my homework on his car. Hopefully, he is feeling so confident in his car, that he isn't even practicing. If I were about to race someone for pinks, I don't care what I'm driving, I'm going to be practicing launching, and shifting. The launch is very important. If you get a good launch, and good top end, you've got a good chance at winning. Bigger turbo, IC, IC piping, Exhaust...Also, headers are irrelivent for turbo'd cars.

If you're serious about going through with it, I wish you the best of luck, but personally, I would rather people see me drive away, than walk away. It's up to you bud.
