^^I've had the exact opposite experience. I built my 6-bolt 11 years ago with a Topline front case and oil pump gears and it's still going today. Balance shafts were eliminated with the correct OEM stub shaft and the car was never stock. It currently has a GT3076R on it with E85 at 28PSI. I...

Funny this came up. I have some questions regarding using the Evo pistons also. I am thinking of building an Evo 4G64 block for my VIII.An Evo IX piston .060" will be the same diameter as a 4G64 piston, so can a OEM piston be ordered in that size, and will it work? I'm not sure how the height...

If it doesn't hold the torque, you could upgrade to a 2900 lb pressure plate. Any thoughts on that?

Do you mind making a write-up on it so it may be duplicated? I'll be making my own when I get back from AFGH, as I am not happy with the current setup. Anyways, good work and GL with your tuck. I'll be doing the same when I install my 6266 and new manifold setup.

I read your other thread. Looks great! I had a hard time adapting the stock alt tensioner arm to the GM unit and it never was 100%... had to use a ridiculously long bolt also.Are you going to be selling these brackets?

Did you miss the part where he had a pressure gauge on it and logged pressure at idle and all driving conditions?

This is the absolute best idea besides having your stock balance shaft machined down (just machining the counterweight off it). All those BSE kits sold by the vendors are just using an OEM 4G61 stubby shaft. Any 4G61 motor had it, but you can order it for a 1989 Mirage turbo.

6&7-Bolt 4g63 Front Case & Oil Pump Rebuild - YouTubeAround 16:00 he starts talking about the balance shaft elimination stubby and how an Ebay one grenaded his motor due to lack of an oil groove in it.

Nice turbine Jared ;)white92talontsi, they have been talking about making them, nothing yet.

I'm sure it can be done. You'll have to make some custom motor mount adapters...but 6-bolt blocks are cheap as dirt, stronger and bolt-in. You can snatch a NT block up and build that if you can't find a turbo motor.

Is that a 2G 7-bolt motor? You know they don't bolt into 1G's at all, right?

Blue rims on that car?

You MUST tune for E85 mix. If you were to run E85 alone, you would have to increase fuel by almost 50%! Mixing in E85 with gas is dangerous if you do not tune for it because you will actually be leaning out your fuel mix. The more E85 you mix in your gas, the more you actually need to "richen"...

No, but it sounds cool. What kind of results have you had with it?

Oh! Well we both said FP30 it looks like ROFLThere's a guy in the FP Turbine for Holsets thread who says he's using the FP30 housing. I'd like to see it and find out whether or not it's worth using on the HX-40...

He said FP 30 but he mentioned it was used on a DSM82 - Aka 3582. The FP30 and FP35 turbine housing are the same housing - one is just machined larger for the 35 wheel, so I'm missing your point.

The FP35 housing is just a FP30 housing that has been machined out. If the FP35 housing can be used then a FP30 housing could also. The FP30 housing is different from the FP T31 housing though and from reading that thread it looks like FP is starting with the T31 housing and machining it to fit...

I am aware they are going to release it, but to me it looked like they were going to use the T31 housing, not the FP30 which is what I have. Looking for clarity.

I've been reading a lot of Holset threads and can't confirm this. I'm sure it'll be an easy reference for someone here.Can the FP30 turbine housing be machined and mated to an HX-40? My current plan is to swap my FP3052 with something bigger and if I can mate the HX-40 to my spare FP...

Awesome, looks like a viable solution using that mount plate. I just saw that as a sticking point on a 2G motor, looks like you're on the right track!

Are you sure? I was under the impression they made the entire strut for the DSM, then discontinued the rears. This makes sense because the front strut on our cars is common with others.Also, STM has them: STM: 90-99 DSM SUSPENSION COMPONENTSEXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock...

Right. But the 2G block has no provisions to bolt motor mounts to....at all.So unless you plan on drilling into the block to tap holes you need a 6-bolt motor. The reason for this is because the 6-bolt motor has the provisions on the block to bolt motor mounts to.Am I describing it...

An off-topic, but related subject that shouldn't require a new thread (not to mention this one is about finished)Justin, do you have a diagram/table showing the MHI and Holset compressor/turbine wheel dimensions? I've been looking everywhere for them. The one on the VFAQ is decent, but...

vassil,I'm curious to hear predictions on reliability of this piece in a high-powered street car. It looks like it will open a lot of room and make trans swaps easier.

He can use the knock-off 7cm turbine housing off the 16G on any TD05H turbo without any issues. he should also be able to use the compressor cover on a MHI B16G or EVOIII 16G (would have to measure the inducer of the knock off 16g's compressor wheel to be sure). Sometimes the knock-off housings...

How are you going to mount the engine? 2G's have 3 trans mounts and one motor mount on the T-belt side. 6-bolt 1G's have 3 motor mounts and 1 trans mount. That's one of the reasons you never see a 2G motor in a 1G.Thought about it?

KYB Makes the factory struts for our cars. As far as I can tell, my AGX struts are 100% physically the same as the OE, including tabs to mount the brake lines, struts hats, etc.The GR-2's are NOT the factory strut. They are the same physically like the AGX, but are slightly stiffer. Most...

When I first painted the EclipsePresent Day, the fiberglass bumper didn't hold up so I removed it. I'm getting a new OEM bumper for the car and will get it painted.

Anything I put on I use anti-seize to prevent any problems in the future. If you go with SS studs, make sure you use the lock washers on the "regular" nuts. If you go OEM style, then those self-locking copper nuts are only good once, although I've used them a few times and they stayed tight. I...

He's saying you can get 400+ HP with any off-the-shelf "smaller" 272 cams. I.e. Brian Crower, Delta, etc.Kelford cams are the same duration as others (272/280/etc>) but their lift is crazy, making them less "streetable" than the others mentioned, but a lot of people run them anyways and the...

Option 3... It'd be cheaper to just bolt on a turbo kit to your existing setup and wire in the necessary sensors (I.e. turbo MAS, knock sensor, etc.). The second cheapest would be to buy a used turbo motor from somewhere.

^This. How in the world would welding a wastegate flange at the furthest possible point from the runners going to cause a crack at the runner? I doubt the runner/flange even saw any heat from the weld.ERL is just using that as an excuse to void a warranty. It's completely absurd. This is...

If anything, FWD Turbo conversion is doable if the parts are there. You can either turbo the NT engine (I recommend running it on E85 in that case, or keep the boost down), build your NT engine with either turbo pistons or forged internals, or just swap a turbo engine into it.The NT block...

I grounded my case with an 8 gauge wire. It's all I had at the time, but I feel it should be sufficient. Issue persists.My alt is getting some heat from the exhaust. I have the FP Race manifold with a blanket on it. The blanket works well, to the point I can rest my hand on it even after...

Spadepro,If the rod is adjusted all the way out, then the rod is adjusted towards the firewall, master cylinder, etc., etc. etc. "Away from the clutch pedal".If it is adjusted all the way in, then its towards the clutch pedal, towards the "clevis" it threads into, towards YOU if you're...

The switch that you will adjust is the one the pedal rests on when not being pushed in.

I always used an OEM belt and recently switched to a Gates blue belt when I put my built head on. No difference to me...just want a belt that works. I would just as easily switch to an OEM. I just had the Gates laying around.For what it's worth, my buddy has an EVO8 that dyno'd 560WHP on a FP...

The good news is that you can achieve low 12's pretty easily on a S16G. I did it back in the day with a turbo back, FMIC, and DSMlink on a stock engine @ only 19psi. A buddy of mine went 12.30's on his S16G as well. I have no idea what kind of power I was making because I've never taken the car...

Well.....I got lucky once again and somehow the problem cleared itself up.We went to the car meet tonight in my 1G and nobody was there so we headed home. When we got home I decided to do a compression check on the Talon, so we fired it up and took it for a beer run to the gas station to...

I've got a blue smoke issue too in a 4G64 car I've been building.Quick Background:Car was previously owned by a guy I knew and he built it in '09. He sold it to me in '11 claiming the motor had rod knock. I pulled the car apart intending to part it out. I found out the motor had a loose...

Where are you guys getting the 8cm turbines from?

Wow, they offer several variations of the 20G wheel.From what I understand, the wheel with more blades will be more efficient at lower boost levels, and the one with fewer (but larger/more surface area on the blades) will flow more at higher boost levels.If it were me, I'd go with the one...

4" InletNormal DSM style O2 will bolt up.Build sheet looks like it will be a really fun street turbo. Better than a TD06H 20g, probably a little slower on spool and a huge gain in power.

Please explain.

Yeah, the CHRA is fine. The seal is the issue. It's a little too wide for the groove in the turbine shaft or something. When I 'pop' the turbine and seal into the CHRA, the seal compresses and gets wedged in the groove in the shaft and it won't come loose. That's why it'll just fall out of the...

I can't speak for the O.P., but I'm logging a little over 50 lb/min on my regular-wheel 3076R. Meaning, I'm at or over the advertised flow rating of the compressor. That's why I'm interested in this thread, I'm in the same boat and leaning towards the FP DSM82 or 86. Probably the 86, as I would...

I have a GT3076R that I paired up with the FP turbine housing, so essentially it is a FP3052 or "non-HTA" DSM76.I've explored the same upgrade since I'm reaching the limits of this turbo. Your options are to either upgrade to the HTA 76 billet wheel and get 59 lb/min, or go to the 82 or 86 mm...

Haha, nobody pissed in my corn flakes.There's several threads on here that illustrate this is a possible swap so I didn't see the point in digging up an old thread. (http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/391553-evo-8-turbo-1st-gen-4.html)I think for most of us out there the cost and...
