Im in the Inland Empire.. Redlands/Yucaipa. DSM'rs have always been a niche bunch around here.. even back in the late 90s/early 00's when I started messing with these cars. Sad because i really enjoy the platform.Wow.. that Laser is very nice. 33k miles... amazing!
Mod bug has bit hard. I told myself i was not going to go crazy (and still not going to) but ive assembled quite a list so far.
--sleeper 20g
--FIC 1200cc injectors (e85)
--Full ECMLink
--EVO Maf
--3" custom turbo back stainless exhaust
--Evo3 o2 housingAnd now--3.5" Treadstone custom...
So AFC tuning was fine to get the car running. I actually had it dialed in nicely for idle and part throttle cruise. However the hacked 1G MAF did NOT like the 20g at anything over 10 lbs boost.Out with the AFC, and in with ECMLink V3 along with an EVO 8 MAF. Also added new FIC 1220cc...
This was an exhausting thread. "Im leaning towards fake"--"It's real!"---"I have my doubts"----"Hooray, i scored!!!"Who really cares at $450 to be honestBolt the bi*** on and run it already.... Jesus H Christ
Wow thats awesome. Ive had 5 DSMs myself.. its an uncurable sickness. Just when i think im totally out-----boom back in.What you want for the 2 front Laser seats??? Im in Vegas a lot................ PM me
Car is running again although only on 10 psi with the 20g. It runs SO MUCH harder up top than the old set up (hard to believe, i know).I also installed an AFC for tuning, hacked up the 1G MAF, and installed EVO 8 560cc injectors. Car runs very good!All buttoned up
So after realizing i had an auto exahust manifold, i bought a 2G repro (china) manfiold off of rockauto.com for $100.These things come ROUGH... if you dont have a porting bit, dont bother buying it. The runners were real bad and some of the stud holes had to be elongated to get it to bolt...
