    DSM/Mitsu club

    Been at least a year since I've been out, but everyone used to meet at In-n-Out off I-10 and Ray Road on the second Thursday of every month.Haven't had a DSM or GVR4 in years, but I've been known to show up in the Pajero once in a while. Not sure if it's still happening.Also interesting...

    4G63 History in drag racing

    Linked here from GalantVR4.org. Probably my first post on Tuners in months.I wanted to publicly thank you for taking the time to do this. Back in the day, DSMers were known for turning a few bits and pieces into world class performances. I don't deign count myself among those OGs, as I...

    Received my AFX ECU! My Review WITH Pics! *Not What I was Thinking*

    It's been a loooong time, but the AFX ECU basically works by modifying a single variable which then scales everything else. Think about your LTFTs, mate. My fully built 2GNT would barely idle those first couple-three times I started it after a reset. STFT & LTFT aren't manually set a la flash...

    9!'clipseDOHC's 1g DSM build

    Very nice!With the sale of my caged GVR4 pending, it looks like I'm not going to have much high speed fun on dirt for a while. I'm content, however, to see more Mitsubishis leaving the tarmac behind for sport. Can't let the farty-blues take over!PS: Used to live in El Paso, too. Van...

    9!'clipseDOHC's 1g DSM build

    What a cool story. Linked by a friend. (Haven't been around here in ages.)Shame I didn't hear about your tire situation sooner. We've got something like 40 used rally tires in the shop up here in Phoenix. Lots of 1G DSM stuff we're never going to use either (3 GVR4s and a Mirage/EvoIII...

    How Do I Increase Low-End Power With All Motor Upgrades?

    You bring up an interesting point and something I've never seen anyone in the 2GNT community pull off. You know how all the drag race 2GNTers swap out the 3.9x final drive for the 3.55 out of the Neon so they can trap the quarter in third? well, if memory serves, there was a 1.8L PT Cruiser...

    How Do I Increase Low-End Power With All Motor Upgrades?

    It's gonna be like that, is it? Fine. Evo III 16G was suggested for better response, room to grow, and cachet. You want to run it on a 420A you - OMG! - get a manifold built for it. Don't want to invest in a little fabrication that sets your car apart from the crowd? Fine. Find something that...

    How Do I Increase Low-End Power With All Motor Upgrades?

    Hard to program? I'd say no. Haven't done it, personally. I know it seems daunting, though, because the install is relatively complicated, and the car is un-driveable until you get it right. If you can install software on your computer or root a cell phone or burn a CD, you can figure it out...

    need help!!! car died and had big trouble starting

    I don't get over here very much anymore and, if you've had Bullett in here troubleshooting, I don't know how much more help I can be, but I'll give it a shot.A) Doesn't matter how built your all-motor 10.5:1CR 420A is. Unless you've had a wideband on it and confirmed you need more fuel, you...

    How Do I Increase Low-End Power With All Motor Upgrades?

    Best piece of advice in this thread so far:Be honest with yourself, too. Don't fall victim to the groupthink that's been slowly chipping away at the reputation built by the OGs twenty years ago. Used to be DSMers would figure things out, make a few calculated adjustments, and run 10s on...

    The Ultimate 2G DSM

    So road race all the way, then. Which would be better for a road race DSM, then - RWD LSX power or AWD 4G63/4B11 power?Oof da! Had the tab open so long before replying, I missed the last two replies. I like Pat's idea. 10-second ETs, 200mph LSR, and 1+ lateral g sounds like a real badass, but...

    The Ultimate 2G DSM

    Now we're talking. Why would you go LSX/RWD? What would that add to the DSM? What would we lose? And do you think it could still be considered a DSM if it were GM-powered?This is cool stuff. Keep 'em coming!

    The Ultimate 2G DSM

    Still isn't a 1G. As a fellow DSMer with respect and admiration for the original DSM, I know what you mean, but I've also posted this elsewhere and wanted to see how the build ideas would differ, given the same chassis. If we're all talking 2G chassis, we can see how the tech changes underneath...

    I'm doing a little research for Mitsubishi Gearbox Magazine. Share your thoughts?Engine Experts - What makes someone an expert? - What do they know how to do? - How long have they been doing it? - What accomplishments are a must?Anything else?Thanks.

    Thank you! Gearbox Magazine's 1yr Anniversary!

    I generally avoid any promotion efforts on forums, as I believe Gearbox Magazine should be a place where community members can hopefully get to know people from other communities and act as ambassadors - for their home forums and for their chosen platforms.That said, Gearbox Magazine is...

    Thought I would share. Ludachris gave us the privilege of interviewing him for Mitsubishi Gearbox Magazine. In the interview, he speaks about why this place was started in the first place and what they (the site team) are trying to accomplish. Hopefully you're excited to be part of the...

    Wendy remains an inspiration to us all. I consider myself fortunate to have had just the small chance to interview her and share her story on Gearbox.

    Drop a PM to AMM (All Motor Mike) on here. Far west valley, exceptional welding skills. Let's just say he welded the front clip onto my Galant with old coat hangers and it came out fantastic. Not that he does ghetto work, by any means, but he's that good.Also does custom SMIMs, piping, and...

    Amen. Fail to plan = Plan to fail. The better defined the goals, the easier it is to get there. You have to know exactly where you want to end up before you plan your route. This can't be repeated enough. Specific, reasonable goals keep you from wasting money. When you've got solid goals...

    How reliable has your DSM been?

    Notice how you said "Reliable 12.5 sec car?" Reliability is directly related to how much effort you put into proper repairs and maintenance. That sort of stuff ALWAYS comes before turbo and fuel upgrades. You've got crooked wheels and all kinds of noises coming from your driveline? Why in...
