Has anyone used, or know of someone who has, a Kinugawa turbine housing to convert an E3 16g from Mitsu to a Garrett bolt pattern? Specifically this one: Kinugawa Turbo Turbine Housing TD05H 8cm / AR61 / T25 / V-Band / External GateI'm told that the v-band on the Mitsu center section slides...
Not sure what happened to the other pics that were originally in the write up, but here they are. Also, here's a direct link to the EVO3 intake mani thread where the pics are also posted: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/245603-lancer-evolution-iii-intake-manifold-18.html#post151976757
I did see an S2000 thread or two when I was searching but didn't read too far. I'll have another look at them. Thanks for the info on voltage conversion too. IDK what the requirement for the Miata tach is so I'll try to figure that out. While the igniter/coils look nearly identical they may...
I'm currently not a DSM owner anymore, or at least a complete DSM lol. I gave up my 2g for a Miata, which is now turbo'd with an Evo3 16g using a GVR4 ecu/harness and ECMLink V3 controlling everything (the stock Miata ecu has no way to be modified/flashed). Thus far the car is running great...
I run 11.8:1 and it seems to be the sweet spot on my setup (with 21* of timing). I've run as high as 16.xx:1 by accident and didn't knock, so I wouldn't tune looking for the knock threshold.
I'm not going to make this terribly long as there are a bunch of FIMC install how-to's on the site. This addresses specifically the idea of keeping the stock crach beam in place, albeit modified to accommodate the IC core. For posterity's sake, I installed a CXRacing 2g FMIC kit here.I...
Logic would suggest that if you add another spring, you will increase the pressure required to open the wastegate, rather than decrease it. Try removing the blue one and running only the red one, as the red one is rated at 0.4 bar, and the blue one at 0.6 bar. Together, you are now running a...
OP, when your friend blocked off the wastegate, did he actually completely remove it and use a blockoff plate?I can't get more than 24-26psi out of my 5027e through my stock catback, but with my cutout open it pegs my boost gauge at over 32psi. I'm running a recirculated external gate off the...
Get an efficient front mount if you are ultimately going to shoot for that much power. This runs counter to everything I've always said, which is a smic can take you a long way. I ran my Dejon big smic until I outgrew my 16g (328hp/361tq), then grabbed a fmic for my 5027e. With the pricing of...
I'm all for further development of this product, as it means a continuing involvement with DSM's which can only help to encourage others that this is still a viable platform (if there are any doubters out there lol). However, I would think that "V4" would have a pretty narrow audience when...
That Colorado photo looks staged. And I've never heard of any CO troopers with STI's. They do drive Chargers, though.Here you go:Top 10 Fastest Police Cars of the Decade AutoAnything – Automotive Buzz
Would be a fun way to go, though.But really:1 - Toss in a nasty 2.3 RWD setup.
2 - Take it out to the next Vintage racing event.
3 - Watch Bottomtooth lay a golden egg.
4 - Enjoy.

I'm not sure you'll find a silicone rated for high speeds lol. Might as well go with a high-temp RTV, so that it can withstand the temperature fluctuations your roof will see. I'd apply it liberally, then either wipe off immediately or wait till it's fully cured to trim/peel it off. If you...
That shouldn't be a problem at your elevation. The stock turbo system on a 2g will make about 13psi at sea level, which is about .9bar. At your elevation, this is equivalent to about 1.1bar. So in total mass airflow, you are now only slightly higher (about 15%) than stock, and nothing that...
Oops, I assumed it was factory b/c you didn't state otherwise. You may still have to pull the entire thing out, scrape off any old silicone/gasket material, and redo it to get a clean seal. Most of the aftermarket units I've seen...the popup kind, not motorized...have an inner and outer ring...
This is absolutely badass. Nothing I would probably ever buy, but fantastic nonetheless. Thanks for investing the time and energy into this, and potentially furthering the cause of racing DSMs.
If it's leaking where the frame mounts to the roof, then the drain lines are probably plugged. There is a catch tray around the perimeter of the glass, because the glass does not fully seal against the roof. If the drain lines get plugged, you'll get some leaks. Pull the headliner out, and...
Looks like a great build, and your fabrication skills are obviously very good. Thanks for the link to the progress. I'd love to see an overall shot of the car, and the finished engine bay once you get that rats nest of wiring cleaned up lol.And don't let anyone tell you an Evo3 16g is mostly...
I call BS and April Fools until somebody posts screenshots of the actual conversations about this issue from the "Cool People" forum. Seeing as it would be really easy for all the mods to be in on this since none of us 'regulars' can see that forum, that's the only way I'm going to be convinced.
Wow, I would not have really suspected such a large pressure drop through the MAS. Thanks for the info. And I'll snap a couple photos of my comp housing for you.
Another vote here for more timing and leaner afr's on e85. My car loves 11.8:1 and 22*, any leaner and I pull a degree of timing above 7Krpms, but I don't knock. And as someone stated above about running e85 really lean, I accidentally made a couple pulls when I first switched over and I saw...
Great numbers! And the smooth shape of the curve is pretty impressive for a 16g. Even with cams my dyno graph still has a near-vertical line at 4000rpm. I'm pretty sure my SMIC is the bottleneck creating that issue with my car, as that's the biggest difference b/t our intake setups (I don't...
While Matt has you taken care of otherwise, I'll at least answer this since nobody else has.This places an external wastegate in a separate, segregated exhaust runner below the wastegate port of the turbine housing. The main exhaust flow through the wheel has it's own path, and the flow...
I'm surprised to hear that they aren't available internally gated anymore. There is a flapper kit on the TimsTurbos site on page 8, so maybe it fits the housing if you want to keep it internal? And you ought to be able to incorporate the Holset actuator with some modification.Or, you can run...
Jack will build you a trans, ship it to you, and you can return yours to him in the same box to recover your core charge...he'll even send you a return label so FedEx will come pick it up from you. No down time aside from R&Ring the trans from/to your car.
OP, do you have a knock sensor and a way to monitor it? What type of fuel are you using, and it's octane? Can you control timing ignition timing, and have you played with it if so?I can run about 1.9bar at my altitude (6000ft) on US 91octane gasoline without knocking, on the same turbo. At...
That's got to be straight book rate, which they are going to charge...that's how shops make money. Charge book rate and do it in a third of the time lol.I R&R'd the intake manifold on my car, had never done it before, took my time so I didn't screw anything up, and it took me about 2.5 hrs...
Well, I took a chance over the weekend and ran a hotpipe from the turbo to the TB to see how much more air, if any, I could flow by eliminating the SMIC. I didn't blow up but I didn't get any useful info, either, as the car REALLY didn't like that setup and I couldn't get to redline on either...
Yeah, it's pretty dry here as well in CO. My guess is that the additives won't do anything. The sticky goo is a petroleum product mixed in with the e85, presumably as a lubricant for seals. It dissolves readily in gasoline, but is on the borderline of staying in solution when it's in e85...
Non Turbo and Naturally Aspirated.You can build a box around your intake filter to block the hot air from around the motor from being sucked in. It works almost as well as putting a filter down in the bumper. See below. Just pull out the access panel from the inner fender and you'll have...
How long had you been using e85? Was the inline filter clogged too? In the first few tanks there is usually a dislodging of all sorts of stuff from the tank that can clog both the sock and inline filter, but it really shouldn't be happening after that. That sticky goo ought to dissolve in...
Boost leak test. The #1, most common reason for a rich condition is an intake leak. Look in the "Intake" section at this site for a how-to: VFAQ Site - Visual Frequently Answered Questions
Damn, that sounds like a great weekend.Just curious, is e85 available in western NC? I'll be moving to the Asheville area in the next year or so, and I don't want to give up my addiction lol. The closest I can find listed is Hickory.
Thanks for the words guys.Peak flow is still right around 34-34.5lb/min. I know that there has to be more from this turbo, even at this altitude, and the IC was my next guess. I'm pretty impressed with how well it cools, but I figure airflow is hurting. I threatened to pull a FMIC off the...
I saw this done in the hatch area of a GTI once. The back seat was gone, and the entire rear 'floor' was wood laminate. I thought it looked pretty sweet.
I was referring to the first part of your statement, which you've deleted. Of course there's a difference between the way those dyno's read, no two are going to be the same.
Soooooo, yeah. No increase. Well, +0.8HP and +0.3TQ...not sure what to say about that. Psi and afrs were in the same sweet spot as the last time I dynoed, so it's not like I was way off.What did change for the better is the shape of the curves, and my butt dyno was correct about the car...
^^^ Makes no sense.Hey Jay, don't know if you've seen this over on CRN yet but there's a compilation vid of the dyno runs that day. I'm at about 0:45, you are at about 3:30.

Do it! You'll love having the quiet stock catback on there, and the added bonus of having a stock looking exhaust, too. Put the cutout in the DP if you can, before the exhaust necks down to the stock catback, and that will be the best setup. Since you have an atm dump o2 it may not make a...
Yeah, I've done that more times than I'd like to recall, in multiple efforts to repair mine. Glad you got it out, and thanks for the weight...that's something I never did.
