Tag to see my join date. First DSM was bought in 1997...

My machinist is making me a torque plate as we speak (free). He's very good (builds Paul Efauntes's, MSP Motorsports, 8sec Street Tire 1100hp Supra engines, yes it's faster than the Titan Supra). I also have dealer pricing through him (cause I work at a DSM shop) and can get things done...

I'm right there with you buddy.

Here's the pic of the 3" pipe welded onto the garret flange:http://store4.yimg.com/I/cheapturbo_1722_414776

Actually all of the big names in turbocharging despise gaskets between ex mani/head, ex mani/turbine and turbine/discharge. Corkey Bell has quite a large chapter in his book detailing this, and Linginfelter has been quoted on many occasions saying that a gasket is only a bandaid for an inferior...

Do you have a flange in your hand? If you do go get a ruler and measure it. Look real close at the numbers on the ruler. YUP, you're right...it's only 2.89". Wow, now look at the spacing between the bolts, it's 3.25", a 3" pipe will fit nicely on this with just a tad bit of port work (like...

You can get 6bolt 4g64 cranks (or 7bolt) from AutoZone for $360. I know what you're thinkin...but the cranks are good...They are stock pieces that have been checked with micrometers and sonic dillywhoo's. They do not sell ground cranks, so you know the stock nitride is still in the crank and...

Victory Performance sells 5 bolt Garrett housings (not the new Ballistic 4 bolt housing). You might as well try to use a stock DSM Housing...JDMAWD...did you get back in contact with RNR Racing? How about anyone else? I really like the DP/O2 Housing coming together too idea, but I only...

ADFX Racing has them....sort of... They are 2.5" and open up to 3" and include the whole friggin downpipe. But they are only $225, mandrel bent, stainless steel.I really have no clue how I found them, but I'm using the same turbine housing as you so I searched the internet for about a...

You know, this thread brings up a gripe I've had with the trader for years. First off let me say that I have worked at a DSM shop before, so maybee this skewes my perspective. When I sell a part on the trader I make sure to talk to the person first to make sure they understand the extent of...

$310

OK, my car is set up for drag racing (it does have Koni Yellows though). Everything about from the turbo setup to the wheels and tires are set up for drag racing, but I'm tired of going straight (maybee it's I'm tired of breaking parts).I want to get into some kind of SCCA or Open Track...

I dont think you should buy this turbo. If it is a true TO4B then it is a T4 or T3/T4...think bigger than a 20g. With the this you'll need (just to bolt it on):1. custom exhaust manifold 2. o2 sensor housing 3. oil and water feed lines 4. oil and water return lines 5. intake pipe...

The only real benifit of cam gears on a car are the following:Stock Cams: 1. Move the powerband up or down the RPM Range. 2. 3-6hp gain due to the new timing...possibly.Aftermarket Cams (cheap ones, not HKS): 1. Degree the Cams 2. Improve idle vacuume 3. Move the powerband in...

There's only one way to know. Take it to a flow bench. Personally I think if you do not have a flow bench you should not be porting a head. Porting is so delicate...even if you increase flow you might seriously decrease velocity if you don't know what you are doing. Spend the extra money...
