Blog Title: DSM Cocktail project

Firstly let me introduce myself.

My name is Leo and I live in Sofia, Bulgaria (Europe).

I have been building my car since 1997 and so far the car looks like this:

A 99 GS (euro spec - 141hp 4G63) with 97 GSX drivetrain and 91 6-bolt, 1G engine wiring harness and 1G eprom ECU.

This week I start my engine build after almost a year of gathering parts. My goals are to make it around 500 crank hp, but everything over 400 crank hp will be success. Here in Bulgaria we don't have a good gas. The best one is 100 octane which is something like your 93 octane gas.

I hope this project will be interesting for you and make you comment/help me out.

This sundey me and 3 of my buddies, armored with a heater, dry food and drinks went into the freezing garage to put the engine, tranny and transfer case back where they belong

A shot of the painted and polished timing covers

Finally the engine is back in

Tranny and transfer case now in place

Downflow outlet of the 68HTA. I think it will clear from the radiator fan.

When installed the front mount we got a lot frustrated - will the wastegate actuator interfere with the mount? Luckily it was 1-2 mm away from it so they will not touch...whew...

	It should be fine, I know when installing my 16g it was likeright there against the front mount however the only part thats gonna move is the actuator rod and the wastegate at the exhaust side. I'd recommend some slim fans if you weren't already planning on them

she looks good, but what is it you're wanting to know? even though 93 octane is the premium fuel in some parts of the u.s.... 100 octane is still better than the 93. that's still a hotter fire in the combustion chamber(less work on the engines rotation). people are still putting out big numbers on pump gas with their cars, but if race fuel is availible that would be best depending on your application.

Yeah, I guess i sneak through the process of grinding the wasgegate actuator bolt housings and converting the actuator rod to a regulated one in order to move it further from the mount bracket.

I don't plan changing the fans unless they interfere with some of the hardware there which I doubt will happen. This week will try to mock up the IC piping

I will dyno it using the 100 octane and post some numbers.
