93 GSX TURBO Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Nice job man. Its coming together well! Thanks man. To be honest I wish I would of gone through the paint process myself like you did. My brother already painted a couple of my cars in the past, but we just didn't have the body work experience.

93 GSX TURBO Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) The other day when I turned the car on I swear i heard some kind of vacuum leak somewhere. Well sure enough I ran the boost leak test today and found a couple. Before the test I couldn't even get the tester to build any boost. After the test its coming up around 13psi. Here is my boost leak tester set up. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps67a955a4.jpg First was at the fitting right below the throttle body opening. Took it out and added some teflon tape. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps01d18140.jpg http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps195d4225.jpg Also the hose that runs to that fitting had a nice break. It was on the firewall side so I could not see it from the front of the car until I took it off. I used a vacuum line for now until I order the correct hose. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsce229281.jpg The diaphragm on the EGR valve is also leaking so I'll swap it out tomorrow before work. Another leak I had but not pictured was at the brake booster line. Forgot to put a clamp on that one. Ill run another boost leak test after I put in the other EGR valve and see where I sit from there. The plan is to get the boost leaks out of the way and then to the TPS reset.

93 GSX TURBO Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I took the car back to have the header panel finished up so I figured I would get some work done on the 5spd Conquest. I knew the turbo seals were done on this car but I wanted to take everything apart to start a list for everything I would need for it. There was a ton of in and out/ side to side shaft play on the turbo. Also I found a nice little puddle of oil in the compressor housing which would explain all the smoke when I drove the car. Here is a couple of pics of the car and of a couple of parts taken off. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps12b92729.jpghttp://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsa8c7a1aa.jpg Before I started tearing into it. Not really anything much here besides the manual boost controller which was set up wrong. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps79e53e66.jpghttp://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps733a90fe.jpg Yup, blown seals http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsa6a898c5.jpghttp://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps62b2781b.jpg Gotta love the leather interior http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps358f5a92.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93 GSX TURBO Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Very nice. You rebuilding the turbo or sending it out? I don't know yet. There's a guy on the DSMTUNERS forum that I've always used to rebuild turbos. I have a couple of 14b, 16g and 13g turbos from my DSMs that I thought using on this car.

93 GSX TURBO Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Where is a good place that sells a porting kit? Just buy different styles of metal burrs. Theres a place in town that I go to get mine. The good USA made ones are not cheap but are the best. It will run you around 28 to 35 a pop for the good stuff. Just to give you an idea:http://www.watersind...sives.asp?ID=22 Ive never bought anything from this place but it gives you a good starting point.

93 GSX TURBO Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I finally got a set of rear struts and now I can out the suspension in when I get the car back. It took forever to get rears but it finally paid off.

93 GSX TURBO Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Its been a while since I updated but I have done some work to red Conquest. I ended up going back with another good 12a since both of cores had to much damage. The mandatory gasket set for the replacement turbo http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps8436f844.jpg I changed out the valve stem seals and installed the Jet Valve Delete kit while i was in there http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsddee5467.jpg Everything put back together http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsaa4fc9bc.jpg I ordered a couple more parts. Wires, air filter, lower radiator hose and throttle body rebuild kit. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps44fe291f.jpg Ill finish up installing the rest of the parts Thursday and bleed the power steering pump. Hopefully this one will be up and driving around by the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93 GSX TURBO Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) It's been a while since I updated the thread, but I have made some progress. I got all the new struts and bellows put in and had the 2.5 exhaust made. The vacuum advance was bad so I replaced that too and I went ahead and set the timing. I'll update with a couple of more pictures as I start putting in a couple of new parts. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps05132e59.jpg http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsd645c2f7.jpg Edited December 28, 2014 by 93 GSX TURBO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93 GSX TURBO Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Thanks for all the comments. I'm happy that it's finally all together besides a couple of odds and ends. Today I finally installed the header panel and grille. I'm glad I went with the Motocam Fog Covers. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww244/partsturbo/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps06d10c4d.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
