Keep up the good work man! Don't give up! I was overwhelmed and ended up parting out my 1g project and now im kicking myself in the nads for it. It will be worth it in the end!

Post to end all posts on this thread. ^

Are you serious? and hx35 is not big. There is NO reason he would "need" a built bottom end for that. There's a 1g around my area on a stock bottom end, and stock head(272 cams only exception) running a t4 gt3582r and it's been ripping for 2 years! and the 264-272 combo would be more fitting.

yeah, i usually make it a point to clean stuff again, even after the machine shop "cleaned" them. Thanks so much for the imput guys! guys ill take my crank to the machine shop and have it cut and all that good stuff.

Hey everyone. I've looked and looked, talked to many different people, and i've gotten a mixture of answers. Is it true that a cut crank with eat up bearings? I have a crank for my build but it will need machined for oversized bearings and i've been told go for it, it's all a myth. But then i've...

as far as a new turbo goes, hx35 maybe? bep house, cheap, ect. i think its more a matter of how much power your looking to make rather than how much boost you want to run. 28-30psi will make more/less on different set ups. so 28-30psi on your set up wouldn't be useful, i'd imagine that 16g will...

Yeah, kelfords are gnarly cams! but thanks for info man

What duration are these cams, 280's? or something close?

only bad thing about pa is the rust :(

hahaha "stolen from a porsche", what he meant to say was "bought from autozone" lol. some people just do NOT need to mess with cars.

It's awesome to see people so dedicated to these cars! And honestly man, 6 bolts hold power very well. 400 is totally feasible on a stock bottom end. just get a set of cams, and a nice turbo set up. You'd be pushing that 16g to its limits from what i understand at 400whp, so maybe think of an...

That's at my friends who i got it from. And even if it was mine lol, just because my parents would have money doesn't mean i get any of it. I have to work for everything i have, it blows. But my parents say it builds character haha. So i guess we'll see.Thanks dude, and yeah i've...

lol yeahhh im sorry! haha, after i made mine i was looking through some of them and saw yours. I was like aaahhh poop. haha. But thanks man, yours looks good too!

Lol thanks man, i've never driven this car and I love it already. You won't be seeing a part out from this guy anytime soon. Anytime i start to loose motivation, i sit in it and back on track i go haha.Some of the stuff i have so far. AEM v1, the 35r, and so on came with the car, and is...

Thanks man, I have such a passion for these cars. Sold my tv, my xbox, and my guitar to pay for parts lol. I'll do my best to update this as much as possible! :)

Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at a build thread now that i'm officially a proven member! woo! lol, but anyway... I'm a senior at the Center for Career and Technical education here in Western Maryland. I'm in the Auto Collision and Welding/Metal Tech classes. I've always been interested...

my girlfriend knows my dsm comes first. I laid down that law when we started talking haha. But anyways, going for a gsx is an excellent idea. you'll be happier with it.

arp head studs! :)

Dude, my best advice is to get dsmlink and have it tuned. I don't want to get on here next week and see "6bolt knocking sound please help". When messing with timing, fuel, you should have it tuned right. Just my .02, good luck

Amen to that.

Just check craigslist and the classifieds on here all the time. Remember, you'll have more than a grand wrapped up in an all motor build. So glad to see youre going boost =]

YES! hahaha

Just thought i'd throw my .02 into the picture, FP Cast manifold ftw! ;)

NOOOOO NA build lol. I was into honda's before i wised up and bought a dsm ;) but all motor cars aren't near as fun as a boosted car. A friend of mine had a fully built all motor k20a in an eg, and it ran good for what it was, but was nothing compared to what a boosted k would be. And an all...

Totally agree with your last statement. Just so happens he has the awesome 3065. Anyways, to the OP. Do NOT make your decision based upon the advice given from someone who is trying to sell the turbo. They are trying to sell it, of course they're going to make it sound good. Not to knock on...

obx generally produces products of a lower grade. Sometimes you'll get lucky, sometimes you wont. it might last 3 years, might last 1k miles. cheap stuff like that is hit and miss. Is everything obx junk? i wouldn't venture to say so. But remember, you get what you pay for. I've learned in my...

I posted a thread about dks cams, read some of what people said, maybe that will help ya out ;)http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/418361-dks-cams-too-good-true.html

Looks like a pretty good list so far, if i were building a 350-400hp daily my list would consist of... (all routine maintenance aside of course) -fp cast manifold -hx-35 dsm flange -1000cc injectors(room to grow) -dsm link -act xtreme street disk -walbro 255 -wide band -arp head studs -fmic...

oem 1g bov's aren't bad. especially crushed, they'll get the job done for what this kid is going for. But yeah dude, help him out asap! lol.

haha, yeah that's pretty bad dude. I agree, lets see some pics of this efficient set up! lol

Came across this video while surfing youtube. MUST WATCH, this is so funny. Poor dsm. has hks cams, then about 20 seconds later he says he's got 272 comp cams. complete goon right here.1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse AWD Eagle Talon DSM M&S Auto Sales & Masters - YouTube

Glad i got to take everything off your hands sir, it was a pleasure doing business with you ;)

Due to seller not being very polite, i decided on keeping my money and ordering the delta k's and some beehives. I've learned so much from this post already lol

I've just stumbled across a great deal on a set of hks cams along with evo springs and retainers. So Ill go with this unless it falls through. If it does fall through, ill go with the dk272's with kiggy springs

Awwww man i love the sound of the 42! my friend has a 1g with a 42r on it. That car pulls your face off haha. Sick car man, glad you got her running!

So you recommend the delta k272's? do i need the beehive springs like the kelfords or could i use bc dual valve springs? do you have a link to a site that sells them? thanks man

Well, im a senior in highschool =/ So im limited on my funding as my parent's don't hand me money lol. So it's going to be a street car with very little track time(cant afford to break stuff). I just want this to be a "beast of a street car" lol. A friend of mine has a built and boosted gsr ek...

If bc's aren't as bad as everyone says they are, then i'll just get the bc 280's and bc dual valve springs. if it helps, my set up consists of a build bottom end(je pistons, eagle rods, full arp hardware), t4 gt35r (ball bearing), jmf race smim, t4 dnp manifold, and all supporting mods. I...

i was thinking about the 101400

Im looking for at least a 272, I love the "lope" in the idle, so i love the sound of 280's. But i also came across the comp cams... Are they pretty good? I don't seem to hear much positive or negative things about them. thanks again for all the help guys, this site is awesome!

Okay, im looking at the dks dks3's. You guys think those are a nice set of cams? I'm between those and the bc 280's

Alrighty, im a little confused here. Regrinds, do i ship them stock cams? or do i just order these and throw them in my head? My head is stock with dual valve springs...And I was talking about FFWD's dks cams

What's up guys. Coming to the end of my parts list and the last part i need to complete my motor other than a crank (pm me if you have a stock/unturned 6 bolt crank please :) is a set of cams. I've looked and looked. I was looking at the bc 280's. they're pretty cheap, have a well known name...

I think im going to purchase the walbro 255hp pump, and the aeromotive 340lph hp inline.

Ditch the afc, do all the tuning with dsmlink. Seems like your more focused on motor than boost parts, however you dont need to do all that to make 400hp. Stock 6bolt with the usual maintenance done(eliminate balance shafts, arp headstuds, oem multi-layer metal headgasket, etc) I also recommend...

Thanks a bunch for the help guys, so if i'd do the dual walb 255/400, then i would just block off my sump? Or how does that work?

Would a single walb 400 be okay? The rest of my fuel set up is done, I have fic 1600's on a magnus rail with an aeromotive fpr. I just need to figure out what pump would be most efficient yet not close to maxed out at 500. I do want some growing room ya know? Thanks again guys for all the help...

A little farther away than you said you want to go. But it's a tune, so you want it done right. TPG Tuning does AWESOME work. They're in pa. Check them out on youtube, or their website. Just google tpg tuning.

Im looking for 500, of course more would be nice =] but it should be around 500. i want a pump that isn't maxed out around there. yet no too big you know? this will be daily driven as much as possible. and thanks dude! i'll look at that link =]

I'm building my first dsm, and i have a lot to learn about fuel. My tank has a sump, could i use just an 044? do i need a pump intank? I've searched around the forums but haven't found any clear answers. Any other knowledge on fuel systems would be greatly appreciated as well. thanks guys!
