The evo pump is rated at 190lbh, you should definitely re-wire it when installing it. As others have said, the stock injectors are gonna limit you, but after you replace them and get a tuning solution, that pump should handle most of what a small 16g can throw at it.
@motomattx I believe he’s talking about a 420a. In which case, you’d could use a HRC portfueler or a FMU or a mega squirt, or an AEM FIC/EMS. There are other ways I’m sure, but that’s all i can think of now.
^ Ive actually heard they're decent, like %60 of the time, they work all the time, lol. But yeah, I've heard few complaints. Id be more worried about chipped wheels or a bent shaft, ie a full new cartridge when buying a turbo. Regardless, it could cost more than $200 for a non rebuilt, 20 year...
@Vegas smith, and the hot side will be cracked to hell. All joking aside, you should definitely be careful of these 20 year old hotsides. A bet @JusMX141 might just have one, or ten, on hand.
I ran a "big" t28 for over 60k miles before I sold it to a local, who I think is still running it. I think your reliability idea is based on the fact that people overrun small turbos, it's pretty much fact, thus they die. As far as cost you can find them still for less than "4 times" the amount...
Another fun one for a mild build would be a t28, I don't see them as often but they do a good job for what they are. Though if you already have the install kit for 14b/16g/20g, you'd have to source an install kit. Which isn't hard, it's just another inconvience.
@keltalon, there is a definition to "beast mode", and it's your car, haha! I hope this trans lasts a good bit of time with all the detail you've put into it.
Not to derail the conversation, but @twicks69 how did the Adelia(spell check) Magic coupling work for you?
Not to sidetrack your thread OP but I've always been interested in a nitrous style rpm window and or full throttle actuated cutout. I'm just not smart enough in electronics, haha! Good luck though.
Hey Rafe, I actually used to live out that way(before rent hikes, ugh). I'm glad you're getting it back up and running. I work from home, and mostly make my own hours, so usually have A LOT of random free time. I'll definitely hit you up to check it out sometime. Any events you're looking to...
Hey @rvaughn, I see you're also from the 50tree(haha). I've followed this build for years - with great enthusiasm, you have built a monster!
If there is ever a time you need help wrenching, I'm down! I'm currently looking for a shell to build, but it's tough because I live in the "numbers"(se...
The stock 6 bolt head studs are way better than the 7 bolts. I think they're around 2m(?) larger and should have no problems at 20 psi, heck I read somewhere on here of people going close to 30psi on them. Let me see if I can find the post.Edit: here it is...
Another option regarding intercoolers is to look at used OEM IC's like one from an Evo. They are abundant, cheap(saw a local CL ad with piping and the good Metal BOV for $120)
should easily support 250-300chp and shouldn't block airflow to the radiator as bad as a giant aftermarket unit. Just a...
Good to know, I wasn't sure if all compressor housings could be. And yeah, dyno #'s, 1/4 mile mph, etc are good measurements of the bang-bang lol. Update if you find more info.
Can you re-clock(don't know if that's the right terminology) the compressor outlet? It seems like that might be a problem. According to this website: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engine-drivetrain-suspension-parts/486983-borgwarner-ihi-51t-32-a.html it appears to be good for 350-400hp, give...
Something else to consider are LSD's. Having spiritedly driven in an open rear diff vs a LSD equipped rear diff, I think there is something to be said. I haven't been in a evo equipped rear diff DSM before but it is said to be even better. And adding a quaife or otherwise front diff in a DSM...
I'd be cautious of anything with DSM Graveyard's name on it. I had a semi bad experience ordering from them years ago and there are countless other stories.
Having said that, maybe they pulled their shiit together and are better now.
Lastly, I would highly suggest refraining from street racing...
The 2gb talon look is rare, and the best looking IMO. Miller Import Parts might be an option for hard to find parts. You can google them or use the search function on this website. I've dealt with him personally, for obscure parts and such, and he is a fantastic seller.
@pauleyman yeah that is very true, but there is some DSM fiend who might time capsule it. Or, more likely, someone will lightly mod it and take it to the cars and coffee that seem so popular these days. Either way, it's pretty cool to see one of our cars in such mint condition.
@emeracing, no the t25 is a garret item, whereas the td05 series of turbos is built by MHI. The td05 14b being stock for the 1g, the t25 being stock on the 2g.
They have a prototype mustang 2.3 turbo running one in Europe. The prototype runs a larger than stock primary(?) turbo coupled with the ebooster and is said that from a dig, even with the bigger regular turbo, response is similar to the coyote v8 they tested it against.
I thinks it's pretty...
It's an odd one but there is also the early 95 rear vented brake rotor: http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/early-95-rear-brake-thread-discussion-pn.469725/
It might pair well with the outlander front upgrade. Just a thought.
greengoblin, do you have any idea the weight savings a full kit might be at minimum thickness? Or anybody else use those? Not that I'd consider something of that nature for years, just curious.
Also check out the stock SMIC's from MKIV Supras. There is definitely some fab work, but they can be had for very little money and are a huge improvement over stock.
There is some good info on the 16g drag race thread if you haven't checked it out. Around page 6 Nate Chrisman(hope I didnt botch the name) goes auto and has relevant info. I'm on my phone or I would link it but you shouldn't have any trouble finding it.
According to Ceddy's sight: http://ceddy.us/h8-ecu-wiki/h8-ecus/ there were late 7/97 and on ecus that were H8's. First thing to do would be to check your manufacturing date, or physically check the ecu in question.
And yes, the cheaper 1.3 will only datalog, so either way, you'll have to...
Swapping to a evo maf will cause problems, they read differently. It would be similar to having a chip burnt for a 1g maf and switching the 1g maf out for a 2g without any tuning changes. It will be lean.
Edit: Here is a decent thread with Thomas Dorris(of DSMLink fame) chiming in...
You're gonna get a lot of different answers in the fwd vs awd debate but if you're having a hard time finding dsm's in Michigan, you should check out xceedspeed.com as there are almost always a handful of awd and fwd's for sale in their classifieds.Example: XceedSpeed
Got it. Thanks. the whole point of referencing that particular article was to show the gains made from switching to a larger diameter exhaust, which is the topic of this thread...
3-Inch Vs. 3.5-inch Exhaust Test - Tech - Modified MagazineHere's a dyno modified mag did several years ago on how much whp could be gained from a switch to 3.5" piping from 3". The application is obviously different(3.0 I6), but on pump they saw a 100whp difference, marginally better spool...
To the OP: have you thought about e98? If the car is a track only or mostly vehicle you might be able to get 55 gallon barrels for a reasonable price. That way you don't get the huge inconsistency of pump e85 and the octane is near 120, if I remember correct, allowing more compression or just...
Here is a video of my old car: Hahn stage 2 with side mount, magnaflow muffler(the neon had a mandrel bent system from the factory), engine mount inserts, 1g bov etc. this is on Woodward ave where the speed limit is 55mph so the driver, mike g who I sold it to, is not doing anything too...
