hi all,
i recently just picked up a white 88 all-trac w/ 115k last week_
in short, This is my 1st :
*AWD
*turbo
*manual
*nonHonda (owned 4)
If you guys can help me out, what are some common problems with this yr/model, i'd greatly appreciate it
i'm guessing 1 of them is the clutch, it creeped up on me from nowhere and now it's completely dead_ i was going to change clutch anyway but didnt want it to be this soon_
I just ordered RPS street clutch non-puck ( i hope i made the rite choice ) waitinin on the bearings ( labor to get the clutch installed is abt $300? )
what do i need to get this 1g3sgte up to abt 270-300whp?
i know the 2jz is super strong, is this motor the same but in 4 cyl form?
i'm planning/saving up on :
*converting it to front mount intercooler w/ blitz dd or greddy type R bov)
*get ct26 supra and maybe rebuild it for longer lasting ( can this turbo be big enuff?)
*full 3" exhaust system w/ deleted the 1st cat, and no resonator_ is it pretty loud with just a rear muffler? or should I get a 3" hi flow cat with it?
*smaller battery
* custom intake?
*bigger injectors (what size do i need?)
*walbro 255 fuel pump
*cam gears
*turbo timer
*boost controller(?)
*Tuning ( researching on where to go in SoCal)
Hopefully, this should be enuff for my goal_ i know n00bs usually have big goal/talk etc. (seen it alot on honda boards) but i hope this goes thru and should be good for a daily driven car_ so far i'm loving it(when i got to drive it), can't say the same for my parents since they gave me big crap for buying " a big trunk of metal " for it (it's an asian thing :x )
thanks for readin this big n00b's rants, i'll post pix once the thing is up and running , rite now it's just another stock st165, i'm sure we all know how it lo0ks :shoots:
