Awesome thanks man! The trans was torn apart to try and diagnose this issue the first time I had it happen. They couldn’t find anything wrong and I threw it back in and within 25 miles the problem came back. so something like the selector pin would make a lot of sense.

Yah he’s a legend! Helped me diagnose a trans issue like 5-6 years ago! Super helpful guy

It moves fine going into 1st 3rd and 5th and wants to move backwards into the other gears but it’s physically being stopped from doing so. It does not appear stuck at all

Hey guys I've been out of the DSM game for a few years now because the car has been left sitting due to the transmission locking me out of 2nd 4th and reverse. I'm finally taking the time to get to the bottom of this issue and could use some insight. The car is a 98 GSX. It also has the Jacks...

For sale is my 8 blade HX40 with zero miles on it. Was rebuilt by JusMx and never installed on my car. Looking to get $700 obo. Open to trades including kiggly beehives or kelford cams.Rarely check PM’s so txt me if interested 951-333-692four

Wiseco stroker pistons and Eagle H-Beams assembled and ready to get thrown in after final clearances are checked! :hellyeah:

Yah I think ill be more than fine with this intercooler. Alot of people saying the contrary aren't taking into account the fact that I'm also going to be running water injection on this setupThanks man! I can't wait to finally have it all together ! LOLOkay so engine assembly started...

Okay parts update rotating assembly is back from the machine shop from being balanced, N/T oil pan has come in, Jay Racing Alternator Relocation kit has come in along with Speed Density.Now as far as work is concerned the FMIC is installed and i thought i would provide some before and after...

I would like to second the hx35 route or even an hx40 for the future when you one inevitably want to go faster. I'm building a 2.3 hx40 setup right now and should be finished in a few weeks so ill let you know how it goes. Also with the money you saved on a turbo by going hx you could get a nice...

So 15% more displacement alone is irrelevant when picking cams or an intake manifold? Please explain your theory to me on this topic because it just sounds like trolling to me.

FP black is a bit overkill. An old school Fp green would probably suit you a bit better in terms of spool and hp!

Okay guys I've done plenty of modding and installing parts on my 2g but now I'm in the process of installing my 2g VSRF FMIC and I'm a bit stumped as to what to do next. It appears that more of my bumper will need to be cut (Already lots of cutting done for my old FMIC) or that more brackets...

depends on your horsepower goals! For the majority of people a solid kit like the VSRF FMIC kit is more than enough. ETS is a very good company but also quite expensive and would be overkill on most setups. I chose the VSRF because of the price and quality but also because i will be running...

Yah this should be more than sufficient for my hp goals! Especially since I already re-wired the fuel pump before getting this it should be flowing quite nicely.Also as of today I am officially on winter break so the updates should be flowing in pretty quickly! Starting tomorrow it is go...

My wally 450 (E-85) just came in today and i ordered my Speed Density setup last night! Also, after tomorrow I'll be on winter break so the build can actually begin! Super excited so stay tuned for major updates!

Dope bro! Congrats on the numbers man!

Ill keep them coming, I'll try my hardest to catch up to your progress! I guess we can compare results once we're both done! ;)

I was in the same boat as you looking for a turbo in the same power range and i decided on an HX40 for my budget and streetable requirements.

Thanks, a ton more progress to come in the next week or so because school is about to be out for winter break! :hellyeah:

My FMIC from VSRF just came in and I can honestly say I'm very impressed with the quality. The price is unbeatable for the quality you get so thumbs up to VSRF on their kit! Also on Monday i ordered my wally 450 (for e-85) and got it plus the install kit for $170 so that is one of the last parts...

Urban hasnt put down 650+ he is just claiming the numbers without any proof....but I believe the hx40 record stands at 685awhp. And no disrespect to urban because the second he proves his numbers on a dyno ill be the first to congratulate him, but until then he needs to stop making all of these...

Look man I'm a fan of your build but all I ever see you doing is bench racing. You can't continue to claim all of these numbers without any proof. You can't just put down less than 400 and then go on to claim 650+. As far as your comments about English I've heard nothing but good things about...

Ill guess 607/476 as a reference those are the numbers I'm hoping for out my hx40 setup also! Haha

I have a very similar build in the process. I'll be using a Hx40 though, but mine will also be a stroker and running the act 2900 with some big 2150cc injectors. Curious to see what type of numbers you put down! good luck! :hellyeah:

I'm curious also about the results between the two because i also just ordered the new style.

If i wasn't running water injection along with my FMIC i probably would have, but with the water injection plus the VSRF FMIC will be colder than any ETS fmic out there. I was going to go with the bolt on housing also, but then decided since I'm going 2.3l anyways the ,70ar will probably...

Finally home for a few days for thanksgiving so i decided to do a quick mock up of the Hx40 with the ERL t3 manifold and tial 38mm external wastegate with open dump tube. Thought for perspective's sake I'd throw in my old evo 3 16g right next to it to see how much of a different in size there...

I've actually thought about doing that but a buddy of mine did it on his 350z and it looks kinda chinsy. I think im either going to paint it with black radiator paint or paying a bit more to get it anodized black. My current intercooler is painted black and i like how it looks and that because i...

Update: Just placed my order for the VSRF FMIC kit! Heard very good things about this kit and did not see the point in spending $700+ on an ETS kit when i'll be running water injection as it is. Thinking about getting the intercooler anodized black to help keep my sleeper look going! Thoughts on...

Any kind of plan such as parts, purpose, etc.?

Sorry guys its been quite hectic with the start of my sophomore year in college! I'm a mechanical engineering major so its been a seriously time consuming quarter so far, but i finally have a little time to post some updates.Update #1: The Engine and Transmission were pulled (Took the time to...

Yes although a lot of the the "bigger cams" do require upgraded valve springs, the Hks 272's were designed to run fine with a completely stock valvetrain. Like many dsmer's on here I am currently running the Hks 272's in a completely stock 2g head without any issues.

What turbo was this on? Injectors, cams etc?

So the copper gasket was the one you had issues with, but the regular Felpro worked fine?

Awesome results Man!! I've heard great things about the Wally 450 though so for the Time being that's what I will go with, I've been Following the thread about jays pump and the results are awesome but I am a fan of Wally's so plan to stick with them. Also kel what gasket did you have an issue...

I will be running water injection as well, which will keep intake temps low without the need to spend a ton of extra money on a new FMIC.I dont have the cash to currently build the head but i was thinking of going with the s2's or kelford 272's or this other slightly secret cam design i've...

Yah im a fan of the vsrf kit, my car is all black and im going to get the fmic anodized black to keep my lowkey sleeper look! I already have the Aem wideband, i've had it for years and its done the job so unless i have a problem with it i wont be switching anytime soon!

I already have a rewired Wally 255 and a HKS FMIC already but I have yet to post my parts needed list which will include the Wally 450 and the vrs 2g FMIC kit.

I was debating for a long time between the two, after talking to a few stroker guys who have run both they steered me towards the race manifold instead because it will need to allow for more air flow.

Okay guys I've been here on tuners for a few years now just sitting back and absorbing the knowledge of some of our more experienced members, but now I feel it's time I contribute a little. Although this is just a simple build thread it will be my first larger contribution to tuners so forgive...

Im in the same boat as the OP and i plan on just cutting it and re-welding.

We're in the same boat I can't find much info either! I ended up just going with having a 38mm vband flange welded on

I'm actually going for a very similar build this summer! I'll be going 2.3 with built bottom end including an eagle crank. Ill be using an HX40 with the .70ar hotside and a 38mm wastegate off the ERL t3 manifold. Our setups are very similar but for the money i would go Holset if i were you...

Good luck with the new setup! Just thought I'd throw in my own results on 91 pump with w/m injection (HKS 272's+ other supporting mods) here in SoCal on an evo 3 16g which was ~350awhp and ~375 ft lbs of torque. Hopefully on you're new setup you'll put down a lot more power reliably!

So after reading through this whole thread I am a bit confused, are you or are you not able to use an aftermarket oil cooler like the following? JNZ Oil Cooler Kit w/ Push On Hose- DSM : JNZ TuningI ask because i am currently running a cooler like this but will need some more room around my...

You're claiming that there is a difference between front cases on the 6 bolts between the straight cut and helical gear sets? I've never heard of anything like this before and I know plenty of people running straight cuts in your average 6 bolt case. Could you elaborate on this a bit more?

Kiggly beehive springs are a good choice with cams like the kelford 272's. they are a bit pricey but you gotta pay to play.

I have yet to finish my build but I am aiming for high 500's and after nearly 6months of research and debating I decided to go with an hx40 in a t3 Hotside with a stroker setup just like yours! I'm running eagle rods and crank but that is negligible. As far as cams you can't go wrong with some...

You're going to recommend this as a bolt on 500hp turbo setup? That was an extreme setup with most people running that same turbo making anywhere from 300 to maybe 400 awhp if lucky.Referring to OP i would say an Hx40 in a bolt on housing would do the trick without pushing the turbo to...

I know i would have to have it line bored, but i was also told the ARP mains interfere with something? Not sure exactly what it was they interfere with though?
