Beautiful car, GLWS

this is a beautiful car, I wish it were closer so I could take it off your hands. Whomever gets this is going to be very happy, Im sure. GLWS

Yea it just got to be a bit much for a street car, and i couldnt bear to leave it sitting in my garage while i built it around the turbo - nor could i really afford it at the time. Things are different now though. Its about that time again!

I know it's a long shot, but any interest in a clean, old bug? Im itching to get back into an E39

Wellp, it's been a LONG while.... and I miss the hell outta 'ol Johnny5. The new owner is keeping up with it - by means of storing it in his shop under a cover. Seems like Im the only owner Im aware of that actually DROVE it.... Sad, sure. BUT, like I said he's a good guy. Once he's got...

I've ran Treadstone cores on a few Honda builds in the past. They're very good cores, and very efficient cores(comparable to precision). What size are you looking into getting?-Jake

Quoting GSTwithPSI: I was also looking at purchasing a VRSF kit. The price is amazing right now. They are on sale for around $309 (+55 for the 16G J-pipe) for the holidays. I was looking at the 2G kit though, and was wondering how much modification it would take to get it to fit. The core in the...

I ran the VRSF 1g kit on my car with the T67 and an triple core Civic 1/2 rad. With the factory/16g setup and supplied j pipe Im sure it'd fit with minimal modifications, because the only things I had to modify to get mine to fit was a coupler(because of the Magnus manifold and it being lower)...

I DD'd mine for a little over a year, even when I had the T67 on. It was a great car to DD. Great in the snow, decent creature comforts, more passing power than anyone could ever need, mid-20's MPG as long as my foot stayed out of it.... overall it was great!I miss it!-Jake

Yea, for sure man. I wasnt asking for it for proof, I just wanted to see it! That was my plan with #5 too, until my priorities were forced to change.... sadface.I'll get it back and acheive it, someday.-Jake

Im pretty sure Kevin of Jack' Trans' GVR4 was one of the fastest in CO. I remember him running an 11.1 wayyyy back when on a 35r and 30lbs. I'd be seriously interested in seeing what #5 was capable of on the T67 too.Regardless though, good time! Any pics/vids of the run by chance?-Jake

Havent been on in a while, but free bump for a good guy. Sorry to hear about the current situation, hope it works out for you bud.-Jake

Bull.Cars are meant to be driven, regardless. Sure, it's a DAMN CLEAN car, but that sure as hell wouldnt stop me from driving it whenever I wanted to. If driving a car in inclimate weather "ruins" it, then apparently every single one of my cars is ruined, even #5.Bottom line, if I own a...

I dont know what his SN is on here, but he's a good guy for sure.-Jake

A guy by the name of Austin. He used to frequent the site here, Im sure he'll get back on shortly.-Jake

I ran the VRSF kit on #5 without issue on a T67. I would up running a diffrent hotside pipe and used a couple different couplers, but had to due to the T67 and it's needs as well as running a Magnus SMIM. clickThe only thing I HAD to modify to get it to properly fit was the length of the hot...

Well, family circumstances changed and I had to part ways with Johnny5. It got to the point that it was a bit too much to handle on the street, and I wasnt even close to tapping the full potential of the car or setup yet. Traffic came up a bit too quickly(when it actually spooled), and I...

The absolute BEST route to go with ANY turbo is to contact the turbo's manufacturer. It takes the guesswork out of the equation completely, and they know better than anyone what their turbos are designed to take lubrication and pressure-wise.Hope that helps!-Jake

Quoting biglady112: When I see a fuel pressure regulator zip tied to a brake fluid reservoir, I don't care who it is, they are not competent. I actually hate everyone equally. Jack, shep, buschur, f*** them all. I am the actual definition of a do it yourselfer. Right or wrong. Or say the boost...

Quoting biglady112: I just had a car in my garage that was completely built at Jack's yesterday. Aside from what I already know from over the years, after seeing what a complete build will get you, I would never take my car there. Let alone buy parts from there. Buyer beware.And I suppose...

I've been a customer of Jack's since around 2004, and never had a bad issue. If there were ever any issues, they always take care of me and sorted everything out. Jack's does have units there(not always for GVR4, but its worth a shot), but be aware: If you're going to go there for a basic...

Quoting ktmrider: Quoting 5OF2k: Where in that post did I claim those to be MY facts??-JakeUmm, your previous post?!? See next.Quoting 5OF2k: Call me crazy, but Im fairly certain that'd make his findings and publishings credible. Then again, who am I to bring facts to the...

Where in that post did I claim those to be MY facts??-Jake

Quoting DSSA: Quoting 5OF2k: Not 100% if this link has already been posted here in this thread(it might have), but THIS is all you need to know regarding fluids and our cars' drivelines: click/thread.-JakeP.S. I beat the everloving sh*t out of my unknown mileage '90 DSM trans on MT-90, and...

That's much better, definitely sounds normal lol

Not 100% if this link has already been posted here in this thread(it might have), but THIS is all you need to know regarding fluids and our cars' drivelines: click/thread.-JakeP.S. I beat the everloving sh*t out of my unknown mileage '90 DSM trans on MT-90, and it takes it like a champ.

Quoting thecman02: Even if they were shifting slower that's the benefit of no lift to shift, stay nice and spooled instead of bang gears real hard and quick to keep boost up.Yea, that's the benefit of NLTS for sure, but all that time you're bouncing it off of the 2step you arent...

Im on AEM as well, so it's different. But either way, my comment was more based on the time it was bouncing off the limiter between shifts, not the fact that is was bouncing. I.E. the shifts seemed extra slow to me....Haven you seen F&F?? lol-Jake

Now then, THIS is a great example of a JDM RHD GVR4(comapred to others). Very clean car, GLWS!-Jake

Quoting blackvr4: Jake, do you use antilag with you nlts? Neither the grey galant or the white one use antilag between shifts, we got it set to 6K on both cRs shifting at 8,000.Yes, I do have anti-lag on for my NLTS, and my limiter is set to 7500 for now. The T67 is a big betch, needs the...

Bouncy and racing suspension should never be used in the same sentance, because a proper suspension setup is never bouncy. If by bouncy you mean harsh, or stiff, THEN youd be correct. Bouncy is what happens when you slam a car on cheapo coil overs and blow your factory struts. On a full...

what size tires are on there, looks nice!

I understand the NLTS but, damn. That seems more like bouncing it off the limiter to hear it than NLTS lol.I have NLTS on my car as well, but mine just sounds like an explosion between gears, a lot like anti-lag rather than a limiter. Keeps it right at 21psi between shifts too(full boost for...

You can definitely do it. There is a guy here in the Springs running a Miata with a DSM based turbo setup on it, runs a 1g ECu and Link V3 in SD. It can be done, it'll just take some wiring and so-on. Also be prepared to use a DSM gauge cluster.-Jake

I have a set of unknown mileage D2s on my car, theyre actually DSM sprung, rather than GVR4 sprung, and they ride great. Not bouncy at all, and still nice and stiff and made the car handle like a go-kart compared to the AGX/GC combo I had on the car previously.I have a fair amount of preload...

I think you're looking at it from the wrong agle, tsi. this isnt for people wanting to go from link to this, or any other programmable management to this. It's meant for people who are on stock ECUs and similar setups, for THEM to upgrade. Make more sense?-Jake

^ very true.... It's have to be cheaper than a link setup for it to be a solid alternative.....

IF I wasnt already on AEM and SD, I'd definitely jump on this. it's a pretty damn good setup, really. Kind of surprised more people dont run it and that there isnt a conversion harness out there already(similar to the plug-and-play Honda units to switch from the different OBD's)for this.-Jake

Very, VERY clean car, GLWS!What lip is that, I like it!-Jake

Quoting Gombos: Started to Port my head tonight...First intake runner doneLooks good! Have access to a flow bench as well?-Jake

Im on the parts trader one, see Diego and a few other dudes on there from time to time..... but other than that, none really seemed all that active or like they had anywhere near enough likes or pics or whatever to be deemd "legit", you know?-Jake

it's actually pretty accurate, if you log while youre doing the pulls you'll see the values rising with the guage in sequence. it's actually an effective tool for determining which points on the guage equal which values.So, to sum it up, you're knocking a SHITLOAD.Hope that helps!-Jake

I'd be interested in RS style hood, wingless trunk, and an interior guage holder for either the speaker or badge area, FWIW.Git 'ER DONE!-Jake

Quoting SouthCaliVR4: A catch can on either the vent or the pcv will not cause any issue. I am running one on both. check valves wil either never open or clog enough not to seal rather quickly. Adding cleaning the pcv valves to your oil change regimin will help greatly. Do not do what they did...

good deal, and it only took 3 months!

Quoting turbowop: Quoting 5OF2k: Kind of, yea. The stance reminds me of people lifting the cars to fit big wheels under it. It literally looks like their shoe-horned in thereThe setup he has is probably barely larger in overall diameter than the factory 15's. My 17" setup is larger by 5mm...

Kind of, yea. The stance reminds me of people lifting the cars to fit big wheels under it. It literally looks like their shoe-horned in there.... Like i saod thoug, just my opinion. Counts about as much as the food at hooters lol-Jake

i might be interested in the doglegs and outer door panels.... Mine have a bit of chipping and flaking on them. any better/closer pics of these? I suppose I could come and check them out in person too.Shoot me a PM man, we can go from there!-Jake

16's or 17's only, IMHO. If 16's and you can fit them on the rims, 225/45(or50)/16, or 205/55/16(like the factory DSMs came with, for instance). For 17's, some 225/45/17 look mean. Not overly big to where it looks like your car is a DONK; raised up to fit the wheels(no offense BobDole, but...
