gettin a 85 gsl-se
i posted a while back about getting it and now im finally going to get it hopefully its only go 84k miles on it or less cant remember. I want to turbo it eventually. my list so far that i need is intake and exhaust, turbos, air filter, downpipe, fuel pump, intercooler, and fuel system. so does anyone know where i can get the fm system as cheap as possible?? most of the other stuff im gonna get on ebay or the junkyard.. o yeah and any ideas of what i should do after i get it besides change all fluids 2 make it run a lil faster/better... thx tons

Terrified.
You want to make sure you check all the hoses and make sure they are still in good shape as well. I'm not sure on GSL-SE's, but before you start thinking turbo and all of that stuff, you want to make sure it is ready to be turboed. With 84,000 miles on it, you may want to rebuild and port before turbocharging, anyway. I am going to turbo my 12a, but I'm in the process of rebuilding it first to make sure the internals are new and in good shape before turboing it. I don't want to end up having to rebuild shortly afterwards because the apex seals don't hold up to the boost.
Also, what part of Indiana are you from?

Your better off porting your 13b and putting a better carb/intake on it. Properly done you can make up to 200hp. Maybe just getting an already turbo'd 13b and stand alone. Turboing a 12a is too much of a hassle

research the TII swap. best setup for the money. the SE 13B has a great torque band but the intakes are very restrictive, the rotors are heavy, and the AFM is terrible. you can swap it the S4 uppper/lower intake to increase perfomance, I dont much about it. Carb will net more HP but at the price of more fuel. think about what you want your car to perform well in. Search Search Search
