  1. my new toy

    alternator relocation brackets.
  2. my new toy

    I cant wait to see it run. I'm sure you have covered this, but what engine control are you going to use.
  3. How much did you pay for your DSM?

    Bought my 91 TSI AWD from a wrecking yard for $500 complete. It wouldn't run because they had put a 2G gasket set in it. 4 huge vacuum leaks. Put $5000 in mods in it, ran 11s, sold it for $5000 before it broke. Kind of an expensive education , but education IS expensive.
  4. my new toy

    Do they make an on-center T3 turbine housing? That would really help clearance.
  5. my new toy

    Awesome job so far. If you don't mind me asking, why such a little turbo with the Auto trany.
  6. CAM alternatives to HKS?

    I just want to know when they are going to make beehive springs with dime-size Ti retainers for 4G63/4.
  7. Swapping an A/T into my Race Car?

    Does no one make a manual valve body or trans brake?
  8. 95 gear set in 91 case

    I'm sure its been done b4, but I was wondering what need to be changed. So far I have ground the 91 shift rails to make them work with the 95 3-4 shift fork. I am currently reseting the bearing stack up. Is there any thing I'm missing?
  9. Compressor housing size does it matter?

    My car makes around 500 AWHP with a T3 turbine housing.
  10. VPC/GCC/660s W/550 chip

    It will probably make the DSM world sick to know that I've run 125.6 MPH and have never even dataloged my car. People also don't believe that I run 1.6 60ft times all the time with a 3 bolt rear. My car is just one of those strange, wonderful anomalies thats works better than it should.
  11. VPC/GCC/660s W/550 chip

    Is any one else running this combo? I run my GCC with all knobs as lean as they will go. My car is sick fast w/ it. Doe anyone run 720s w/ a 660 chip? I am realy out of injector to step it up any. I know I should get the AEM but the VPC is in the the car running and has performed...
  12. What A/R turbine on a 2.6l?

    It doesnt matter if he is running a Lawn mower engine or a Big block, the larger the AR you can run and still spool your turbo the more peak power you can make.
  13. What A/R turbine on a 2.6l?

    The larger your Turbine AR the more total Power you can make. The trade off is obviously spool. If you car is mainly a drag car then you should stick with the larger AR, unless you are having spool issues between gears. I am assuming you are running a manual tranny.
  14. Shimmed valve springs...

    DSM valve springs have so much installed height it would take around a half inch of shim to cause coil bind with most off the shelf cams. HMMM that statment reminds me of some shops performance spring sets.
  15. Drag/SCCA Weekend

    On Saturday I went to local drag strip and ran my best time yet; [email protected] granny shifting, 3250lb. Put that in your horsepower calculator. Got to get the tranny fixed.Then on Sun. got to go to a SCCA cone dodging race. It was alot of fun, but my car was really frustrating to drive...
  16. Im down But Im not out

    With alcohol you will want to run 10 or 11:1 compression and you will NOT need an intercooler wich will help air flow and simplicity. You will need more lift than HKS cams will offer, Crower can grind you any spec you want. You will need solid lifters and custom springs. I would run as large...
  17. Im down But Im not out

    What are the rules for the class?
  18. Exhaust back pressure is _always_ bad (long)

    If you can't find it on google it cant be real. I only said it helps, I did'nt say it was responsible for keeping the rods together. Exhaust manifold pressure should stay fairly close to intake manifold pressure, but in reality exhaust pressure stays higher because of the use of restrictive...
  19. Exhaust back pressure is _always_ bad (long)

    Engines tend to "toss" connecting rods during valve float or at the end of the exhaust stroke or the beginning of the intake stroke due to the fact that there is little to no force on the top of the piston. This is when the tensile load on the rod is the highest. In a turbo application the...
  20. Exhaust back pressure is _always_ bad (long)

    "Always bad?" Have you ever heard of toss control?
  21. New personal best (Talon)

    215/35/18 for lower gear and to make them spin for drive train life.
  22. ET in relation to MPH

    I also run a stock engine. My car 60fts like crazy and somehow I was lucky enough to get a tranny that shifts like crazy. I have never granny shifted my car at the track, but I am sure it would not run well at all.(TSO4) I have stg 3 TMO. I cannot say enough about 2 steps and 60ft times. My car...
  23. New personal best (Talon)

    Small tires and spark blow out at high RPM.
  24. This is how ya launch a car!!!

    My car 60fts well also. I run short tires and lots of air pressure. 215/35/18s and 50psi. Two step on 6000 (5psi boost) and I slip the clutch out (ACT 2600). It may spin a little but it doesnt bog or break my 3 bolt. It consistantly runs in the high 1.6 range.
  25. New personal best (Talon)

    8/02/02 11.80@ only 111mph 1.68 60ft I had the boost turned up to 26psi. Engine was missing in upper RPM range. Stock ignition. (plug gap 0.025) I ran out of gear @ about 1000ft. Coasted through at about 1/2 throttle. The ambient temp was about 100 deg. I think its time for a Kenne Bell...
  26. New Personal Best ET 11.49 @ 126.8

    That was a great run. What was the ambiant temp?
  27. BR 580 Track Results

    I tried to get some info on using the FAST on my DSM a year ago and no one would give me any help. I am glad you made it work. I have to agree, the FAST is the shit. Several of my friends use it on other cars and it cant be beat.
  28. BR 580 Track Results

    Did you have to use a crank trigger?
  29. Setting up a 60 trim and fuel sys for ethanol

    I have a TSO4 with a .63 A/R turbine housing on my car and i drive it every day.
  30. Would 2.0L Inline 6 spool like 20g same as 2.0L Inline 4 ?

    Missinformation is a disease that is spreading like wild fire.
  31. burning your tires

    The best way to burn tires would be to put some gasoline on them and light it.
  32. lightweight rims

    Bogart could probably make you the lightest set of wheels but they are pricey. I run 215/35/18s and I feel this is about as short as you want to go for gear ratio, I'm sure you could get a shorter tire for a 16 inch rim. Mine are on the verge of looking dorky as short as they are.
  33. THE evil_eagle goes 11's!!!!

    Man, I wish I could get my AWD that light it would fly. It weighs 3300 with me and 1/2 a tank of fuel.
  34. VR-4tt into a 2g

    I think a stronger 6 speed tranny would be an advantage. 3 liters are 50% more than 2. A Talon or Eclipse is much lighter than a 3000 GT or Stealth. I think a 1g and a large single turbo would be much better.
  35. 4 bolt rear Q.

    How can one identify an Auto 4 bolt rear from a 5spd rear?
  36. What is your gas milage?

    Brake Specific Fuel Cunsumtion is the amount of fuel used based on the amount of power made. If you are making boost you are making more power than if you weren't, thus you would be using more fuel. This is compounded by the fact that the ECU will command a richer fuel mixture under boost as...
  37. Crazy Swap Help, Ideas, Information

    I think that would be a killer machine. You could use the AWD tranny w/a welded center diff. and a VCE and no T-case. That way you could eventualy make it AWD. Sounds like the only thing left is to start pullin stuff out of the CRX and start meassuring and fabing stuff.
  38. What is your gas milage?

    I think you have the wrong definition of efficiency. There is NO way you could get better gas milage in boost. Have you ever heard of BSFC?
  39. max boost ever on a dsm??

    Yea.........I'm gona have to go ahead and call BULLSHIT on the 35bar post. Come on Hydrophobic Ass Kid, thats like 500psi.
  40. 660cc injectors wich ones ?

    The RCs are probably the best but my NDs have worked great.
  41. Fmu!!!!

    When I first put a T-3 on my 91 AWD I tried to use the FMU from my mustang to correct the fuel mixture. It would run out of fuel at like 12psi. This was before I got the VPC/GCC/660s. I used a bleader system to try and adjust it, it worked OK but always ended up too rich and I never realy...
  42. would running a car without oil squirters be a problem?

    I don't see why it wouldnt work and you would probably be surprized at how well it would run. The high compression of the N/A engine will have great responce. I would set the base timing at about 4or 5deg., always run good fuel and just not abuse it. You could probably run 8 or 9psi safely...
  43. HKS manifold

    What is he asking for it? I don't have any kids.
  44. top mount IC opinions

    In a Rally aplication wouldnt a front mount air to air get the shit beat out of it and get cloged with dirt and mud.
  45. Plug Gap

    [email protected] w/stock ignition@ 24psi
  46. HKS manifold

    Why are you asking, do you have access to one? I was unable to kill for one.
  47. THE evil_eagle goes 11's!!!!

    Thats cool. Have you weighed it?
  48. sputter between 5000 and 7000 rpms

    I run .028@ 24lb of boost @ ~450hp on the stock ignition, but my car is a 91. Just my $.02 on plug gap.
  49. At what point does methanol become necessary?

    Top Fuel runs a large % of Nitromethane, but not 100%,don't know what CR they run. Top Alcohol runs about 11:1 compression and around 50lb of boost.
