Looking good. Do you have a link for the dry sump?

I was looking into getting the DNP coated but the cost kind of killed that. I only paid $50 for it so I had to snag it. I've never ran a tubular but like you said the under hood temps are a killer and wrapping will just cause it to deteriorate faster. My Talon has turned into a donor so I'm just...

Thanks for the help. I was looking for an excuse not to run the DNP tubular that I picked up.

Thanks for the help. That's what I love about DSMS. Always finding "new" old things about them. Do you happen to have a link or anything to it? I've been googling the hell out of it and haven't found anything.

Looking good. I had a bolt bust off in my exhaust housing as well. The machine shop told me that it would be like $90 to get it out because of the carbide bits. I went with an ebay that I picked up for $30. Ported the waste gate port and it works fine. I had a little boost creep with the old...

I've done some searching and it looks like I have a 1g exhaust manifold but I'm not positive. The only thing that is throwing me off is the threaded hole that has a plug in it on the number 1 runner. It also says "evo header gt" between said plug and the mani to turbo bolts(can't see in pic)...

Based off of everything that you have done it's probably a bad positive cable from the battery to the starter.

It's not THAT bad for a DSM. I helped this guy get his DSM running the other day after work. Should have seen that POS. He said he paid $400 for it. I wouldn't have bought it for that and I'll buy just about any DSM.

Remove the cotter pin, remove the nut (I'm sure you've already accomplished that), Heat it with a torch if you can't get it out by hammering/pickle fork. Also you can try to soak it with some liquid wrench and let it sit for a while.

Screwed that up.

It doesn't matter. I was just thoroughly impressed.

Holy crap. That was the longest sentence I have ever seen. And you didn't use a single period. Well done my friend.

+1 on the gates belt. -1 on the cheap belt. That is probably why the op is in the position he is in. Some @ss going cheap because they were selling it soon.

It doesn't look terrible but it's not something that I would do. I'm more into functionality though. If it's something that you want to do then do it. The paint job will definitely make or break the look though so make sure it's spot on.

Glad to hear you got it fixed. Those valves look pretty rough but it could have been worse.
