Well I snapped my driveshaft again! How to snap a driveshaft dsm launch - YouTube , so I installed a DSS HD driveshaft. I just want to say I was blown away when I took the car for a drive. Theres hardly any noise or vibration, even less then my stock shaft. Besides them sending me the wrong...
I used to run an oringed head with a mitsu mls, worked great for years but finally failed due to heat and abuse. I had to mill the head and since I am building a 2g head I really don't want to spend the money on removing the orings and welding the groves shut, valve job etc. So for now Im just...
Well in a short story I let a buddy of mine take my car for a ride while I followed, needless to say he beat the hell out of it. After the 7th 1-3rd pull he pulls over and says somthing is wrong the power is gone and oil pressure is down to 15psi at idle, usaully 20psi. so i look at the data log...
I really think it would be a good idea to have a thread about reading plugs for tuning. Last night I was helping a friend tune a bbc with a aem wideband but had a gut feeling the car was lean even though the wideband was saying other words, sure enough we may have saved his motor just by old...
I always thought it would be difficult but tried it today and found its much easier then aluminum. I just started laying some nice beads down with aluminum and started thinking about how Jesse James made a gas tank out of copper years ago. Being a plumber I have alot of copper laying around, and...
I assembled a sbc bottem end for a guy and he is short on cash so he wants to give me a esab tig welder. I do need a tig that can do aluminum, mine is simply an old stick machine i converted to tig but isnt high freq so I cant do aluminum with it. I see the price of it on this web page but want...
I am currently running a 2.3 with a hx40 .55 bolt on. Im running 272 delta (hks) cams, and a bjs ported head. I only rev the car to 75-7800rpm and have the boost set to 32psi. What head would you choose for this set up, jmf race or drag?:hmm:
Anbody remeber what the old bushur street intercooler was rated for? Measures 24x8x3, it was in the old upgrade path on the site. Buschur Racing FMIC kit for the Mitsubishi Eclipse - DSMtuners.com
I just installed my old snow performace kit with a 150psi pump and and 625ml/min nozzle. Im currently running 30psi with only 9* of timing with a 10:8 afr on 93 pump and trapped 120mph last week but i really want to add another 5* of timing up top and lean it out a little. Now I know that the...
well a friend bought a dsm:ohdamn:, it runs like crap. its a birdsnest under the hood and has a 6 bolt swap, head and block. the car only runs halfway decent with the cas all the way retarted. when i set the timing to 5deg or so it breaks up all over the place on 10psi. stock injectors, stock...
i have an hx40 with a bep housing and it creeps like a sob, i have to set the boost controller at 20psi in 1st gear to get 30psi at the top of 2nd and 3rd. has anyone ported the housing to fix creep? i use a tial 38mm on the o2
well after going to the track with my spec stage 2+ i found that it wouldnt hold up after a launch, it would just slip 2nd so bad that i just let out and cruised the rest of the track. i knew that i had a bad lock out experience with acts 2600pp so i didnt want to go back to that. but before my...
please with my log, i cant get into the dsmlink fourms yet, help me? how do i get the estimated a/f, and wb a/f closer? and whats the differance between the timing sliders and timing table? also youll see it gets snot rich and hiccups when i stab it around 3k
i have a wideband that i use with my datalogger, i remember having to adjust the offset yto make my dattalogger read the same as my wideband gauge. will i have to do the same with dsmlink?
the previous owner of my car changed the carrier bearings on the driveshaft, but he never put the shims back. ever since i have owned the car it has made that annoying driveshaft humm when you let off the gas in gear. all the manuals just say count the shims and put it back together with the...
BPR7ES vs BR7ES which plug type would let you run more timing/boost on pump gas? Ive heard projected type puts the electrode further into the cylinder to help with preignition, but non projected lowers compression. what do you guys think
Ive been seeing a fake/lightweight dash out there in some 1g cars, anyone know where to get it. Dogbox racings oil red 1g had it and so does the black punishment race car
Has anyone ever had a problem with a brand new act pressure plate? I have been having a problem with high rpm lockout in my car ever since i installed this clutch. I have sent the tranny back to shep, replaced the flywheel, installed a 4 puck, put two washers on the pivot ball, tried every trans...
Ok so heres the deal, i currently have sprung 4-puck with a 2600pp, before this i had a street disk with the 2600. I changed to the 4-puck because i didnt like how slow i had to shift into second, so i got a sprung 4-puck thinking that it would let me shift faster, its a little better but...
Has anyone tried this thing out, i talk to one kid with a mid 11sec awd talon and he says he is having good luck with a 2600pp and a sprung 4 puck, claims to have alot of passes on it. Anyone else having luck with it? Im having problems with my street disc giving me lock out into 2nd gear, i...
i was wondering if anyone has had this problem, when i have boost set at 26-28psi
and the car is making good power i cant shift from 1st- to 2nd above 6500 rpm. There is no griding it just seems to be locked out. the trans is fresh it never grinds and shifts great but this is the only problem...
I just bought a this new dsm book and was looking through it and noticed the show that you have to grind some material off the end main caps so the rods don't hit. I'm running eagle rods and a 4g64 crank in a 6 bolt bottom end and i didn't have to do this. My motor now has about 8000mi on it and...
Im running an hx40 with my 2.3 stroker and i love this turbo but i really think my stock intake is choking the car up top, i also think its time to toss my web street grind cams out. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. The setup in my car right now is a 2.3...
I recently installed a holset hx40 on my car despite the problems people have had with them. I am very happy with this turbo so far and i drive my car everyday with no problems so far. The main reason i think people are blowing them is high oil pressure with to small of a drain. When i first put...
Well i had this 18g on my car for a couple months, no more than 2500mi, but within the first 1000mi i noticed shaft play in the thrust and side to side. The shaftplay never got any worse but i knew it wasnt right. So i ended up buying an hx40 and taking the 18g off and when i started probing...
I was doing some 5th gear roll ons on the highway and trying to get my a/f in the 11.3-11.8 range but tha car would knock at 3000-4500 rpm and then start to clean up. When i took some fuel out and got the a/f to 12.2-12.5 range the knock went away. The boost is set at 20psi but tappers off as i...
