• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Let's just rename this PurpleGuy's GTO tuning endeavor

Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

Oh good.

Send me pictures.

I'd like to do this in the GXP but god knows anything about that cluster.

Took mine apart to check it out(04 comp). I tried finding an easy way but holynogo. Thats a lot of little lights and little little soldering.

So onto the turbo stuff. Wanting to do what Snowflake did here and put a Walbro 485 in the stock canister. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threads/89846-Biggest-baddest-fuel-pump-in-a-stock-canister

Not 100% sure what injectors though. It's going to be on E85 and I don't think 80's are going to be enough. I hear of guys getting injectors from http://fuelinjectorconnection.com/ Are guys running normal EV1 injectors or swapping to a different injector?
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

I know Sal (Silver2kgtp) is upgrading his turbo set up right now. You may want to ask him about the injectors.
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

Talked to one of the other guys on here and he said these should work. They're F14's but FIC supplies adapters for free so these should work fine.

Going back to suspension. Pretty much scrapped the bag idea. Just not wanting to spend that much for air when I'm already going to spend tons of money on the turbo setup, so back to coils.

And of course the never ending question, what struts should I use? If Bilsteins were still available that's what I'd be buying.
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

Faster than my rust bucket for sure. My turbo Prix will be faster than your turbo Prix
 


Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

Ordered Bilsteins. Yay. That was expensive. Gonna make another set of coils probably. However. Not going to slam it cause I don't want to destroy the struts
 


Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

Yeah those clips in the doors break all the time, they are almost NEVER reusable lol. And that turbo setup is going to be BADASS!!!! iS your trans stock or upgraded?
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

Stock atm. It's more than likely going on this year but it's staying on stock injectors so I hopefully don't break anything lol
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

Where did you get the Bilsteins?
They have 04 endlink ears
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

I'm on stock tranny too but i bought the car last year and the previous owner had the trans rebuilt 4k miles ago so im crossing fingers. I hear the weakest points are the input shaft and chain, so it dont matter if it was rebuilt or not, those can break at any time :(
 


Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

They're rears. I'm a dummy and wasn't paying attention when I was typing
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

I got 3 of them from amazon. The last three they had. And the last one I got from eBay. Rockauto is out of fronts. Not sure on rears.
I bought these while I could find them. Before too long they'll be impossible to get new.
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

new bilsteins!? thought those were sold out long ago damn you!! i want a set!
 
Re: The Purple Car Stock pulley bidness on pg 37

Get em while you can! I think there's still enough on eBay you can have a full set. Break out your wallet though. I spent almost 900 bucks on these stupid things
