    DSM Mechanic for hire in the San Diego area

    are you willing to bring the engine to me, or must i travel to see it?BTW, if you are installing the head on the block yourself, i recommend leaving all the pistons down in the hole at least 1/2 of and inch so that none of the valves will hit the pistons as it is installed.Duane

    Compressor surge with 1g bov

    If it is making noise on throttle its not surge. but your valve sounds like its leaking.I have a Greddy and it started to do that on throttle above 22 psi. The fix was to just give it another turn to "Hard".

    Help me decide!! 57 trim or GT35R

    I run a GT 3076, you will have more usable "street" power with a GT 30 or 50 trim. (most GT 30s are 57s)unless you have a "race car" pass on the GT 35. these turbos arent really very fast in the 15 to 22 psi zone.a guy with an evo 3 would probalby out run me @ 15 psi, at 22 psi however...

    Was reading up on history of DSM, Technically 7bolts are not real dsm cars.

    Well, techincaly any DSM that DOSNT have a "J" at the beginning of the VIN is NOT a true DSM, they were assembled in the US with Japenese parts.My 93 talon starts out with a "4" and was assembled in Illinois like all the 95 to 99s.
