First thing I'll say is what a great bunch here!

I am currntly deep into a project involving a 88' 323 GT Hatch. During parts searching such as, Hybrid Sooby Turbo & Ext manifold, FMIC etc, I stumbled across a highly modded 87' GTX Hatch. After painful correspondance with seller, it turned up on my doorstep month before last.

I will list the Mods it has had over a period of say 5 years. I will add just a few pics below as they say 1000 words.

My biggest problem with install of all these components will be hiding the race bits like fuel-pressure lines & gauges, GT28 BP etc. Along with total harness revamp to suit the EMS, I have a horrid job ahead in te next few months. Time also constraining me.

Looking forward to sharing views perhaps & maybe even meeting a few members?

This is the GT in relatively stock form with only mods being 2 1/2" Cat Back & A/M Boost controller:










Mostly original B6T Engine & Bay Components:












GTX purchase beside the GT - twins!



List of Mods came with GTX:


Motor Built by Croydon Racing Developments
Polish/Ported Head & Inlet Manifold
Garrett GT28RS (Disco Potato)
RX Engineering Exhaust Manifold HPC Coated
HKS Adjustable cam Gears
SARD Fuel Reg
Microtech MTX8 with hand controller
Haltech Igniter
MX5 Coil packs x 2
GTA-e Front Bumper
Racing Logic Coilovers
KN Filter in aloy air box
HKS SuperVF Blow off Valve
ARC Cooler with polished piping
500CC Denso Injectors
SR20 Throttle Body
Apexi Boost Controller
Bosch Fuel Pump
VR4 Upgraded Discs and Callipers
Recaro Seats
Momo Steering wheel, gear nob and alloy pedals all MOMO
Alpine Splits in custom door molds with Alpine sig
Sony MP3 Deck
KHS Boost Gauge
JAP LCD Gauge Cluster
Whiteline Sways bars both front and rear
Cusco Strut brace up front and generic in the rear
3" Dump and Exhaust, Xforce Stainless Metal Cat, 4inch Muffler

Here are some pics of the GTX engine that will soon be mated to the 2WD MT Box with new Brass-Button Clutch, though very harsh on GBox, chosen purely for holding power on acceleration, affording driveline no slipage at all, a nice outcome from the 150-160wkw this powerplant already currently outputs. Also, a Chrome Moly Flywheel, coming from CorkSport in the US, will be installed for increased acceleration, much needed with the GT28 Garrett Turbo fitted to engine, to further minimise lag. Another mod will be narrowing the exhaust system by way of modified dump pipe 2 1/2" Cat Back ext system to hopefully further help reduce Turbo lag.

Thanks, Iam currently getting engine rebuilt due to worn oil rings after severe abuse in th past. Also wil be fitting Chrome Moly Flywheel & sorting gasket issues etc to bump up performance & reliablility. Car really needs some TLC!

edit: will be using button clutch to avoid slipping. Hard on box but, totally dependable grip!
