95 GSX Build

Alright I am starting a build thread. I have owned this 95 GSX for a few years now. I really didn't start working on it until last summer. This summer I finally got it running but its been a nightmare. Back in May I did a 6 bolt swap, upon start up the motor jumped timing within 10 mins of running.:cry: Pissed off I pulled the motor and sold it and bought another off a friend. This motor ran fine until last month. I found a bunch of metal flakes in the the oil and inside the oil filter, I dropped the oil pan and found metal shaving and chunks. Also had low compression in cylinder 1. Probably my fault as it wasn't tuned and I drove it anyways. So now its time for a rebuild, lesson learned.

Mods so far...FP green HTA turbo, ECMLINK V3, FMIC, Fuel lab fuel pressure regulator and filter, 780cc injectors, PR 02 housing, megan downpipe and exhaust, XTD 6 puck clutch(cheap but it works), Tokico suspension.

Wishlist...Forged internals, fp exhaust manifold, gsc2 or kelford cams, Cam gears, bigger injectors to run E85, Built manual Trans by shep, oh and I should be getting a paint job this winter. Good friend of mine paints cars for a living so it wont cost much for me to get it done so I minus well.

And please let it snow this winter, the more it snows the more money I make and the more I can accomplish. If this build fails I'm moving on and getting a WS6.

Cool Gamble good to know. Trying to get around to this valve cover I need to give you. I need to figure out a way to get the baffle off in a way that I can reuse it and attach it again. Gamble have you ever considered making baffles out of aluminum so that you can weld them back onto the valve cover?

Someone else makes them and sells them pretty cheap. I can't really compete with him. Plus I don't weld enough valve covers to make it worth it. I hate welding them anyway.

Any pics of your car?

At Gamble my goals are to max out this turbo but in order to do that I think I need to port the head. Ill probably fall short on cash this year to do that but who knows people are always given up there builds and selling built motors for cheap. Ill see what I can come up with.

Mook how is the spool on that 6266? Does it do alright for a daily driver?
 
I'm looking to do my headliner as its starting to fall apart and drop down. Does anyone have experience with this and know of a good material to use? I went to my local fabric store and they really didn't have anything. I did see the color I was looking for which is dark grey but it was in suede. The suede actually looks good but I'm not sure if it will match the car. Do I want foam backing or does it not matter?
