YES! 1ga or 1gb?

**econorocketZX3** · 08-06-2008, 08:16 AM

I have soooo been thinking about getting one of these again. I had a '92 AWD turbo and it was by far my favorite car I've owned.

**boostedzx3** · 08-06-2008, 09:17 AM

It is a 1Ga, Iv always had a thing for pop ups, more pictures will be coming once I start receiving my goodies. Currently the ECU has leaked causing issues, just waiting on my rebuild.

ha yea, the owner before me painted the rims flat black as well. I believe the term for doing this is "murdered out". haha

**Stolle** · 08-06-2008, 12:06 PM

big 16g turbo with FMIC with upgraded fuel system and go for 300AWHP

**MiSVT1893** · 08-06-2008, 01:15 PM

yeah if it will hold that much power hopefully its the 6 bolt that is supposed to be in there and not the 7 bolt, and a big 16g fmic and upgraded fuel wont get you 300awhp my friend has that set up and he isn't and where near 300awhp maybe 260 but if you get the evo16g and some huge injectors you can make 300awhp but i would say worry about the tranny holding that much power first the trannies in those are garbage.

**Stolle** · 08-06-2008, 02:10 PM

1ga's had 6 bolts. 1ga is the OG of turbo AWD lol

i think with proper tuning you could touch 299awhp with a big 16 and fmic.

and yea. call shep racing ASAP. 2nd gear syncros are gonna blow up. lol

The 90-93 contain the 6 bolt, late 93 they started introducing the 7 bolt which are in all of the 2nd gen's. With a good tune and appropriate fuel the 6 bolt blocks are pretty much capable of doing anything, well mostly hah. As far as transmissions, throw in an ACT2600 clutch kit and you are good to go.

This is my 2nd one, cant stay away! Did you modify yours?

**Dimitri** · 08-06-2008, 02:25 PM

HAHAHA LOL/J/K,. Good luck with your new project, watch those knuckles don't get too busted up. My buddy had a TSI so I know your in for a good adventure!

**MattZTS** · 08-06-2008, 05:23 PM

^crankwalk isnt even a problem on the 1g's. also its preventable if proper precautions are taken

i had a 2g gst. i loved that car. i want to get back in one someday.

**Stolle** · 08-06-2008, 05:27 PM

haha. lets get this one going...but why does it seem like the 2g's are to blame? oh wait. they are. lol

ok ok. serious now. i love DSMs. i love the 1g's the most of them all! sooooo OG.

**MattZTS** · 08-06-2008, 05:29 PM

2g's might break more, but they are a milliion times sexier.

**Stolle** · 08-06-2008, 05:37 PM

true. its a toss up.

1g: bullet proof except the tranny (easy fix) with the dull scruffy havent shaved for a month ass kicking v8 stomping I-4

2g: soft delicate guts with a tough looking outside. kinda like the body builder who has the perfect body but cries like a little boy when someone hurts his feelings.

take your pick. i chose number 1 lol.

**MattZTS** · 08-06-2008, 05:47 PM

well i choose 2

mine had 130k and no issues except a burnt clutch. also with tons of mods. got rid of it before all the major mods happened tho. i will own one again someday and finish.

here a thread of my 2g. the pics of it right before i got rid of it are on page 2.

GM blow thru maf setup. built internals. i forgot the turbo size and all the specs. its pretty retarded (as in SICK!)

**MattZTS** · 08-06-2008, 06:10 PM

yeah my goal would be 350-400hp nothing crazy like that.
