    where are all the dsm people in Harford/Baltimore county??

    Don't hate because I write short stories just as well as you. Lol. The difference in my stories, is they are missing a section for bromancing.I couldn't upload pictures last night for some reason. I guess I need to convert them to my computer from my phone.

    where are all the dsm people in Harford/Baltimore county??

    Well I haven't posted or been on Tuners I'm a LONG time. I guess I'll throw a post up since I have vanished off tuners for the past 6 months or so.So let me start off with an update of what happened with the old setup. Before pulling the HTA35r setup this past winter, I was able to break the...

    Please help me with a launch problem

    I dealt with the same issue towards the end of last season. I broke broke 5 t-cases back to back trying to rid this wheel hop issue. I am changing coilovers to a drag specific setup and dropping getting custom sprig rates to help with the weight transfer. Any reason why you went with such a...

    how to tell :spun bearing

    ^ Good info."Ticking" has such a broad meaning when it comes to description. Some people think a knock is a tick, a rattle is a tick and so on....Is it rpm dependent? Does it increase with rpm? Decrease with rpm? Does it quit at any given point? Does it sound like its coming from a...

    welded center dif or 4 spider?

    700awhp in a DD through the auto is a little far fetched considering the auto eats HP readings for dinner. You are going to have to run a huge turbo, a strong built motor, and a built trans/converter to show 700whp with an auto. Those are big boys numbers there and definitely not DD typical...

    Drop Engine Mounts?

    I have had my drop mounts for about 2 seasons on a 9 second car. I will say that the material is not made for a bunch of hard launches like that of a track car. My driver side egged out badly when I pulled the engine this winter. They sure do look nice and all other mounts were fine. $100 is a...

    Car is moving out for sure. Congrats on the the best and the record. Are you now the 2nd Hx40 now to go 9's besides Dave?

    93 hx52 build

    Build looks great man. I am looking forward to seeing this thing fire up. There isn't a lot of people running the HX52. There are a few, but not many people pushing the limits and posting results like people do with the 35 and 40. Build is coming along nicely.

    Who has the fastest HX35 DSM in a .55a/r bolt on housing?

    Hell yea man. That's an awesome and I'm stocked for u. It's been a long road, but you were determined to accomplish this goal. Lets not forget the fact that you have only had a few actual goes at this because of car gremlins, work, and your family duties. For the first time out in pretty much a...

    Cory- Congrats on this huge achievment my man. That's just badass and you are one hell of driver getting down the 1320.. It was cool finally getting to meet you face to face at the SO, and I appreciate the support on my end. I totally feel the whole "if I break, I'm down for the year" thing...

    21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT

    What do i set my two step and antilag to with a hx40 (super)

    I think the concern with breakage is more axles, t-case, differential, ect. Leaving the line at full boost obviously causes excessive drivetrain shock. More boost=more torque=more chances for breakage.The key is obviously finding that fine line between bog, spin, and breakage. Most people...

    coolant temp at 219f on a 90f day normal?

    Ive always been under the impression a 1G t-stat is 190 degrees and the 2G 180 degress.. You can however get lower and higher t-stats as well as a different cap.I hover right around 200-206 when fully warm. I wouln't even start to look at temp until I go over 216 degrees.. In my book...

    finally got into the 12s

    Looking real good. That run that you kicked the coil looked like a good one.Why don't you throw a little boost at her on the launch? At least get up on the two-step? I think it would help you get out the hole..Again..Great job.

    Gixrman quick release bumper kit

    You insert the rivet through the bracket, then spring, then washer. The washer should be the very last piece behind the spring on the rivet. When you compress the rivet, the washer keeps the spring from sliding off the rivet.Here is a link Jax just posted...

    Man I really wish I could have gone. I thought for sure it would of been rained out.Your car is incredible Dave, and it sounds amazing. Your shifts are quick and never miss a beat. I think I'm lifting off throttle to much after watching you. You've accomplished so much with so little, and...

    hard to shift into gear

    It wouldn't be your trans going out completely, like stated above, but a syncro may be getting a little tired. Replacing a syncro isn't a huge deal and you can do the work yourself if you have the capability to put your mind to it.With it being one single gear your having problems with, I'd...

    Have you seen a spark plug do this?

    Completely wrong answer. ARP headstuds do not break. They do actually stretch with repeated use depending on torque loads and boost levels. I don't know where your getting your info from.OP: You can reuse standard ARP's multiple times. As long as they haven't stretched past thier limit...

    The Purple Monster

    I recieved mine last week Chris. The best advice I can give you is to contact them as much as possible, because they will NOT contact you in my experience. Took me 14.5 weeks for mine for finally arrive. I know how you are feeling..The car looks amazing and I am looking forward to seeing the...

    Starting rebuild after spun bearing

    I totally agree with BogusSVO.IMO..There is nothing wrong with cutting a crank .010. There are a lot of people that will tell you otherwise, because of what they have READ, but 90% of them havent even had experience with this.I run a cut crank, my buddies all run cut cranks, and I know...

    91 GSX Project Rebuild: Experienced DSM'rs input appreciated!!

    You have a few options.a. You can get 6 bolt rods and machine them to fit your current 22mm pistons. You will need to buy new rings doing this of course.b. You can buy a set of 6 bolt rods that already have a 22mm small end. There are vendors that do this..orc. You can sell your...

    clicking valves?

    I was going to say check your rockers...but guess I got caught up on the lifter thing.You may have a regrind cam which require shims on some sets.. Either way glad you got it figured out..

    91 GSX Project Rebuild: Experienced DSM'rs input appreciated!!

    Your close but not all correct..-You cant use a 7 bolt rod on a 6 bolt crank period. The 7 bolt rods have a smaller big end and would give to much clearance.- The pistons you have are for a 7 bolt rod which use a 22mm wrist pin. A 6 bolt rod uses a 21mm wrist pin. You can machine the...

    clicking valves?

    It's a little late to for that. Tell me how he is going to check those type of clearences on an assembled running engine.OP.. It really would help to post a video of what your describing. Sounds to me like this is probably lifter (lash adjuster) related. I wouldn't go so far as to say your...

    Sounds like it could be a few issues, but it's hard to disgnose something like this without a log, so I would suggest you upload one for us to see.- From just your description of the issues, it sounds like you could very well have a bad ISC. You should ohm it out and test it for proper...

    Engine seized on initial start-up.

    I meant crank timing plate (trigger plate)...whatever. Of you put it on backwards you will bend exhaust valves. Spinning the cams by themselves with timing belt off tells you nothing other than the cam caps aren't binding.
  36. little-razcal

    Engine seized on initial start-up.

    Could be a number of things.Are you sure you didnt install the crank trigger plate backwards resulting in piston to valve contact? Did you spin the motor after timing belt install like you are supposed to? If you didnt feel contact then, you should be OK (so to speak).If you assembled...

    Auto DSM wins Import Face-Off Las Vegas 5/5/2013

    I have always been under the impression nitrous was illegal unless they lifted that single power adder rule. It's badass nonetheless. I took 2nd at the MD event because I chocked on the launch in the finals. It's definitely a good time. Congrats.

    21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT

    This is just my opinion...I do not run full exhaust on the street and it's completely legal in my state. I have over a 20 year old car that is tagged historic, and is completely legal in many states over a certain age. I have insurance and drive to the track, grocery store, shootout...

    21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT

    All you whining little bi**hes need to grow the f**k up. You'll see plenty of DSM's/EVO's racing. It's one small class and the GTR's are badass to watch. Most all the pioneers of the DSM/EVO world have stepped up to GTR's anyway, so why not let them all compete and have yet another little...

    The Purple Monster

    Looking forward to seeing the car out again. Maybe this year you can be racing at the Shootout instead of taking video. I'd love to see you come up to WCF with the car this year and handle some of these hondas in the so called street classes. I'm interested how these liberty gears are going to...

    Twin scroll turbo with open manifold

    I think Id run a twin scroll manifold with a open turbine housing more than an open manifold twin scroll turbine. The turbulence created has got to impact performance in some way shape or form. If anything, I'd grind that divider down as far down the volute as possible, but then again all this...

    High mileage?

    I'd say over 75% of the people on this board start modifying or drive a modified car with over 130,000 miles. It's rare to see under that these days with the age of them.Do your maintenance and make sure your tune is on , that's the most important thing.My buddy finally pulled his...

    Reliable Front Mount?

    TSI AWD running 210 degrees+

    Like said above what kind of fans are they? Is it one or two? Stock or slim?At idle a car will naturally run warmer with less air keeping coolant temps down. I sometimes need to add a second fan at idle due to high engine bay temps and the stock fan trigger on a 1g is a joke. I usually do...

    Smoke coming from oil fill

    You can guess about this stuff until you're blue in the face. You need to get the proper tools to utilize diagnostics in a better manner. You will go crazy trying to think about what it could be, especially on a new build. First thing you should do is get an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. This...

    Why get a Garrett GT3582R?

    HTA3586 can make 600whp on pump pretty easy with the right setup and has great spool in my eye's.With today's billet wheel market, the top turbo manufacturer's have making power with smaller wheels down pat and it's pretty damn impressive. Any T3 60-67mm billet wheel should get you your...
