Utah DSM is a club that has been around for over a decade, with 9.5 years of that having an online presence, and have hundreds of active local members. Looking at the forum stats I'd say we average 3000+ posts per month of local only, advertisement free socializing.If people are looking to...

On a regular bassis I question if moving up from the FP3065 bolt on setup was a good one. If FP30 turbos didn't exist it would be a hard choice between a bolt on and a full Garrett setup, but they're such a nice part and everything is so easy... If I could go back in time I'd probably keep my...

The water pipe is a 16mm x 1.5 hole, and I drilled and tapped my thermostat housing for, if I remeber correctly, 1/4" NPT.I used the stock lines with my 3065, they work fine, but the one that connects to the back of the turbo/thermostat housing needs a little bending.

Not a FP3065, but the hose setup would be similar.http://www.utdsm.org/gallery/albums/album69/IMG_2712.sized.jpg http://www.utdsm.org/gallery/albums/album69/IMG_2710.sized.jpg

The FP30 turbos are truly top notch in ease of install and fitment. Sometimes I wish I had kept mine instead of moving up.100% recommended.

Yikes? Wait until you add up what you really spend once that's all done and on the car. :D

Have you ported your oil filter housing?

ARP Supra bolts work. They're a little bit longer and some people have reported having to tap their cranks a little deeper. I think I also remember seeing a guy break off a tap in his crank doing this, so be careful.Took it to a local machine shop and paid them like $50. I think they...

I drilled all my new bolts and ran safety wire through the heads in addition to the loc-tite.

I did the 2-3-2 shift on a 2.0L. Shredded the balance shaft belt and busted the flywheel loose. No idea what rpm I hit.6 new flywheel bolts and a belt later she was good as new.

It's not installed yet. My car hasn't ran in a year due to the new manifold fiaco I've been having, so changing out the fuel system is last on the list. I will definately take some when it's done though.

Hey, I know a guy that sells a real nice kit for accomplishing just that. :D

I ran a FP3065 on my 2.4L for my last turbo setup. I had 24 psi or so by 4000 rpm. Prior to the 2.4L I had a 2.0L & a full garrett 50 trim ala AGP.For the enjoyment factor and street driveability the 2.4L & FP3065 > 2.0L & 50 Trim. Maybe a ball bearing 50 trim would have been more...

Unless things have changed, finding a person who actually owns a full-race manifold for a DSM are few and far between. They didn't at the time I was buying have any idea if a GT40R compressor housing would clear. I've seen one on a Honda and it looked quite nice.There are more Shearer...

I've owned the following manifolds: Magnus Motorsports, SFP T3, HKS cast T4, and a Shearer Fab. That's my order of prefernce from least to greatest. The Shearer model is by far the top dog. The quality of the product is very obvious.You can't say too much around here without the moderators...

HPC Extreme ceramic coating.

JP and Shearer have a good thing going. Vendor review info removed

To be clear on that, the car no longer burns oil as long as the PCV valve is hooked up. Without the PCV valve it creates a very obvious amount of smoking when idling, and as far as I can tell, only at an idle.

My 2.4L long rod pistons, which are pretty much a oversized 2.3L piston, would burn oil at an idle without the PCV valve hooked up.Haven't had a problem with them since I hooked that back up.

I don't beleive there is any conclusive evidence that either wears significantly less. Built motors of various piston brands of differing generations of piston design, and differing clearances and skill of assembly, oil used when running amongst other things make it hard to say.Something to...

Standard builds of 2.4L/2.3L motors both use 100mm stroke cranks and 150mm length rods. The rod to stroke ratio is the same for either.The only difference I can think of between the two is short vs tall pistons. I beleive short pistons have been argued to have superior wear characteristics...

That surprises me. I'd think that'd be advertised more since the machines are a fairly significant investment. Found pics in the "virtual tour" thing on your web site too.

Something to consider here, but I don't think any of the regular DSM specialty shops are actually building, certainly not machining the motors they sell. You're paying them to be a customer service intermediary for your motor. I'd be surprised if they even assemble them in house.If your...

Mine is in the same place. My knock sensor seems to behave exactly as I've always expected it to.

There hasn't been any real evidence to suggest that a 2.1L extra long rod motor performs any better than a standard rod length 2.0L motor with the same overbore.If you were so inclined to build one anyway, 2.1L long rods look to be a shelf stock item at slowboy. Even if they're not your...

There are a few pics in my gallery here, they are all bottom end shots though.http://www.utdsm.org/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album13&page=1Basicly it went together the same as a 2.0L block. The timing cover parts on the head need to be adjusted some if I remember right. I...

950's are a better match. 680's would end up being ran at > 100% DC, and while people have proven that you can get away with that, it's generally not recomended.FP3565 = GT35r in a FP bolt on housing. The FP housing really is a nice piece of equipment.

I ran a Tial 38mm for a year or so with no gasket on a SFP manifold. No problems, no leaks.I ran a Tial 40mm for another year or so with a FP3065, no gasket. No problems, no leaks.The metal ring that the valve seats against seems to do an adequate job of sealing the wastegate. It...

I used Clevite mains in my g4cs. So far so good.

I'm refering to operating to the left of the surge line. The 56 trim "gt40" compressor wheel has that hump in the map on the left on the surge line. When the boost is high enough to be in that area of the map, I get surge from the gears with more load on them. Seems to behave fairly close in...

My FP3065 would surge in 4th gear if I was going from a lower rpm rolling start. So don't count on it completely eliminating it. Most of my time was spent in the 24-25 psi range. It's a little over that where you end up hitting that surge part of the curve.I'm sure it will help, but I...

Greddy Type S. Works perfect and tests up to 30ish psi on my car. Adjustment screw all the way loose, just thread in enough to seal.Haven't wanted to trade it out for a Tial since people complain of the Tials ability to vent well at low boost/part throttle venting type scenarios. I think...

People should be aware that there's probably like 5 different GT40's possibly being discussed here.There'e the 56 trim "GT40" compressor that comes in the FP3065, FP3565, SCM61, SC61, 35R, etc. turbos, then there's the new 88mm 52 trim and a 88mm 54 trim GT40R aka GT4088R. Both are...

The .95 AR turbine housing is divided, and not comparable to a open housings ar. From what I've heard it's more comparable to the .68 AT T4 undivided housing.PTE sells a "GT4067R".

Can a 3.5 or 5 bar map sensor be used with the MAFT Pro?

I'd pass on changing the fuel lines. I'd also get one of the bolt on FPRs. Mine has given me no trouble in the 4 years I've been using it.I'd pass on the MAFT, logger, and SAFC2 and run a 2g air sensor and DSMLink. It's worth it, been there done that with things other than the Link, and...

Profec B Spec 2. Once set up properly holds boost perfectly.I thought I'd go cheap and use a MBC when I started. Never again will I hop in and out of my car to adjust boost every time the weather changes and throws things out of whack.I also retired my boost gauge, and only use the...

Sometime in the Spring if they keep to the last date I saw, if I remember right.

Buy the stem seals from FP that go with the springs.

Cometic is nice because you can get a proper thickness gasket to match the piston to head clearance you desire. Every block is different due to decking and varied piston install height, so there's no right gasket for everyone.Or if your less particular you can just throw one of whatever on...

FP30 housing design information from the vendor, with pictures."On the other hand, most aftermarket housings like the FP30 and Garrett T31 housings have a better shaped volute patterned after Garrett Motorsports housings for maximum efficiency."...

My 2.4L long rod (same pistons as a 2.3L but bigger bore) didn't like having the PCV valve removed. It would burn oil at idle without it. Plumbed it back in and all is well. Another fellow with (swordfishgsx on here) had the same problem, he fixed it by getting a valve cover with -10 AN vents...

I used two similar to the one on the right. I didn't check your part numbers though.

Use everything off of a 4g63 except for the cam gears and timing belt. The stock SOHC pulleys, timing plate and all that will not work. I tried. The balance shaft crank gear has the wrong spacing on it and makes the timing belt ride out towards the edge of cam gears, I can't remember what was...

I have had mine come loose a couple times. I would recomend using the worm drive clamp on the oil filter with a peice of safety wire tied off to something that won't allow the filter to rotate.Call it a bandaid if you will, but I have a 90 style air/oil cooler with none of that junk that...

Best at the track was a 12.1 @ 116 on 91 octane gas, 4200' ASL (above sea level). That's been almost two years ago though, and I'm pretty sure it had more in it.FP3565 is the same as the FP3065 except it has a larger turbine wheel. That generally means slower spool, but more peak power.

Hey, I know that guy, he's pretty cool. ;)The FP3565 is not "new", just not very common. It's a more expensive CHRA and they have to bore out their turbine housing to make it fit, so most people don't go for it when the 3065 has proven to work quite well.My times aren't terribly...
