  1. Update price dropped to $650 I need to sell this car.
  2. Thats odd that the links are not working.If you P/M your emails to me I can send pictures through that.
  3. While browsing Ebay I came across a 17c compressor wheel. The owner states "used but good,fits TD05 shaft,upgrade for 12A CONQUEST and STARION TURBO,also 14B TURBO on 1G DSM because they both have flat backs, Compressor housing must be machined to match wheel." Is what the owner of the compressor wheel is saying true? Because I am looking at purchasing it. Or is this something to stay away from.Thanks for your help
  4. Thank you Indiana yes I do plan on upgrading the exhaust,a full 3in system and I plan on getting a boost gauge and a AEM wideband gauge. The only thing I am not sure about is the injector and intercooler sizing.What size injectors and inter cooler should I run? I am only looking to take this car to 350hp and I also plan on running a Bosch 350 fuel pump inline to the stock one.
  5. The tuners are actually really good before hooking up the SAFC they gave it one pull on the dyno to see what the AFR was and it was so rich they suggested that it not be run anymore. They then went to figure why the car may be running rich, so the first thing they checked was the original intercooler pipes and it turns out that was the problem the car has a boost leak so I had the SAFC installed anyway for the future. But for now I will need to get hard pipes.
  6. Thank you vary much for all of the info Indiana and everyone else who has replied I really appreciate it. But I guess I joined the forum a little too late, I wish I had known this info before I purchased the SAFC.Now I will look into all of the possible problems the fuel system could be having. I only purchased the SAFC because the tuner said this would be the most affective and cheapest way to solve the running rich issue without having to replace a bunch of parts and trial and error and spend a lot of money.
  7. Sorry that I did not state why I will be dynoing the car. It will be on the dyno only because I brought the car running rich so I purchased an Apexi SAFC 2 fuel controller to remove that extra fuel the car is only being dynoed so that I can get that running rich problem fixed so the car will be driveable. But I just wanted to know the strength of the stock internals because I was going to buy a boost controller to raise the boost alittle but I wont do that now that I know these motors wont handle that much boost stock. Thanks for all of your help.
  8. Hello everyone, this is my first post I just picked up my first Starion ESI R its a 1987. I have a question about the strength of the internals of this motor and how much boost/horsepower can most G54B engines handle before a rebuild with JE pistons? My car only has 89,000 miles on it and the top end of the motor is really clean as I had the valve cover off over the weekend. The car has always ran synthetic oil and it seems to run healthier than my dd. I just don't want to blow the motor or a head gasket when it goes on the dnyno Friday.Thanks for the help.
