    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Removed the exhaust and intake manifold so I can pull the head and send it off to Bogus.

    bad compression after BSE kit

    Thanks for the feed back. I'm in BFE right now so i may just have to buy a leak down gauge set. Either way I'm going to be removing the heads and sending them off this weekend.

    bad compression after BSE kit

    So, I had a water pump go out on me and some over heating followed. I replaced the water pump, while I was at it I bought new timing components (Idler pulley, auto tensioner, tensioner pulley, and new timing belt) and did the BSE kit and put every thing back together. (all procedures were done...

    BSE Gone wrong?

    Another update. I finished every thing up today and tried to crank it. It won't start, it rolls over and the starter is spinning it up, but I get no ignition. It's like trying to crank the engine with the coil unplugged. I didn't finish up till after dark so maybe I missed something and didn't...

    BSE Gone wrong?

    That was my plan exactly. I am also going to have to redo the front CV boots soon to. So I will proly make a weekend out of it or something.

    BSE Gone wrong?

    Ok, seems it's called a windage plate, and is not totally necessary, just a good idea.

    BSE Gone wrong?

    OK, update time. Finally got the time to start finishing the BS removal process. Got the bearings out using the balance shaft. Put the new bearings in using the balance shaft, blew out the engine, sealed it back up, added oil, no leaks. Every things good... right? Not so fast, realized I forgot...

    BSE Gone wrong?

    Is there any chance of harming the engine if it's not ported?

    BSE Gone wrong?

    mod the OFH? I am using the VFAQ but I didn't see anything about OFH.

    BSE Gone wrong?

    So, I was changing out my timing components and decided that this was as good a time as any to do the BSE. I got as far as removing the front BS bearings and noticed that the transmission is leaking oil from the front driver side axle. I jacked the engine back up and the leak stopped, lowered it...

    WTB EVO III Intake Mani

    I don't suppose any one has an old EVO III intake manifold lying around that they would be willing to part with?

    EVO III 16G Turbo

    Guess I'll start looking for the parts, any suggestions? (Don't have a lot of funds, but I can save for things, and I believe in doing it right the first time.)Also, I am starting to disassemble it today, also buying a rebuild kit, going to port and polish it to. Will post pictures (warning...

    EVO III 16G Turbo

    Ok, So I just bought a Evo 3 16G turbo from a friend. I have several questions about where to go from here.1. It has a minimal bit of back and forth shaft play but no side to side shaft play. Should I take it apart and port and polish every thing and fix the shaft play?2. What company...

    posible boost leak???

    Ok, had time to do a boost leak check this weekend. Heard some air up around the intake manifold but didn't really figure that it was a leak. So we moved on to the theory that it might be the ignition system. My friend test drove it to get a feel for the problem first hand and said he thought...

    will do, thanks.

    posible boost leak???

    So, I was driving to my grandparents house the other day and felt the engine start shaking violently. I slowed down and got out of boost and it stopped, I accelerated and decelerated several more times to test it, and it only shook while in boost. However, towards the end of my trip, it would...

    Oil leak

    Ok, so, I am leaking oil in my engine. Has any one ever found oil pooled up on top of the valve cover? I am at a loss for how it's getting there, unless its shooting up and dripping from the hood of the car.:confused:

    Looking for 4g64/g4cs answers? LOOK HERE!!

    so the weakest link is the pistons, then the rods, and lastly the crank? (on a 6 bolt) well, depending on whether Magnus will discount a full rotating assembly for me, I may just get the whole thing from Magnus. Thanks for the input

    Looking for 4g64/g4cs answers? LOOK HERE!!

    Just found this one from Magnus Magnus Billet Crankshaft | Magnus Motorsportsany good? or from the responses so far, just not necessary?bearing in mind that I am attempting to spin this engine up to 9K

    Looking for 4g64/g4cs answers? LOOK HERE!!

    I've read that stock ones are only good up to 500whpIt is going to be my daily driver for a time, my target is 600whp, but I want to build the block to handle 700 or more, just to be on the safe side. Do it once, do it right.Unless my version of "right" is horribly out-a-whack. In which case...

    Looking for 4g64/g4cs answers? LOOK HERE!!

    Was looking at a Manley crank for a G4CS engine, then discovered Manley doesn't make cranks for a 6 bolt. So, my question is, what companies make a good crank for the G4CS capable of supporting 700WHP?

    What is this car worth / Is this car a good deal?

    he originally wanted 5K, I managed to get him down to 4.5K. Maybe cold hard cash in his hand will lower it down to 4K.

    G4CS Destroker Build

    do they not make a crank to destroke a 2.4 to a 2.3? The only reason I wanted to destroke it was to not loose as much RPM top range. I had read that the 2.4s can only red line around 7-8K as opposed to 9.5+k. I guess a better question would be: can a 2.4 be built with a light enough rotating...

    G4CS Destroker Build

    So, If all goes according to plan, I should have a 97GSX within the month. I am planning on building a G4CS 2.3 destroker for it. For those that do not know, the G4CS is the 6 bolt version of the 4G64.Intent of build - I am going to use this as a daily driver for now and will probably road...

    Gsx spyder?

    Thanks for the input, I read some where that some shift boxes can be upgraded with paddle shifters. Any truth to that?

    I hadn't thought of a shift box. That doesn't sound like to bad of a compromise.

    Gsx spyder?

    conversion seems like a real pain in the assMaybe I'm better off just ignoring the Spyder aspect and getting a regular manual GSXI'm just of the mind set that there's no school like the old school. Even if the auto was faster and better in every way, I would still prefer a manual. It's...

    Gsx spyder?

    I plan on asking him to get a picture of the transfer case before I even do any driving to check it out for my self. the only issue I have with it, is its auto. Around how much does it cost in time, money, stress to do a auto to manual conversion?yeah, the drive train as a whole should be...

    Gsx spyder?

    Maybe this guy bought it from someone else that had a conversion done, so he doesn't know. Any way, thanks for confirming my suspicion.

    Gsx spyder?

    Got a guy that swears up and down that he has a automatic GSX Spyder that came from the factory stock like that. I was under the impression that DSM never manufactured an AWD convertible. Any one care to confirm?

    Down force and aerodynamics of 2G GSX

    well, I work with a mechanic out of my friends used car dealership, and I look forward to any wrench time I can get, particularly with an engine already removed and on a stand. My plan is to start building the engine out of the car and put it in when it is ready. It will proly require several...

    What do you guys think, frame damage or bad door components?

    I would say check the door very closely for any damage that looks like it may have been repaired out of it. It's possible the door was damaged, repaired and now doesn't want to line up.

    If I had to choose I would pick street strip first. I can always get RR latter. Or just get another car to RR on.

    Down force and aerodynamics of 2G GSX

    I think the spool on the 7670 is around 3000RPM give or take a few, what do you think the spool time on a 8374 is? I am hoping to get it to road course eventually and don't like the idea of having to swap turbos but depending on the price of the EFR it might be worth it. I just always seem to...

    Down force and aerodynamics of 2G GSX

    I have done a bit of research on the subject but apparently not enough. I was wanting a de-stroked 2.3 for more low end torque and a quicker spool on a 7670 EFR from Borg Warner. Figured at that much power I would have to replace all the stock internals (forged crank and rods, aluminum pistons)...

    Down force and aerodynamics of 2G GSX

    (Disclaimer - This is off topic) How much would you expect to spend on a GSX to get it to 450-600HP, top end around 155-170mph using a 2.3L de-stroked 4G64 or G4CS engine? I was calculating about 14K on the engine and supporting cooling and turbo mods, and maybe 5K on suspension. Are these...

    Down force and aerodynamics of 2G GSX

    In the OP I stated that I come from the Bike world. I was using a slightly moded 1000RR 05. I wouldn't mind making a GSX that could do that thou. If I had the money :ohdamn:

    Down force and aerodynamics of 2G GSX

    you are correct sir. I am not sure If I am looking to road course it or drag it, but it will serve as a daily driver first. My past history shows that I will proly drag it, get a feel for the speed and handling and then set it for a road course. As I stated in the OP I'm not at all opposed to...

    Down force and aerodynamics of 2G GSX

    I did some searching after I read that the spoiler did nothing and found most people to agree that the rear "high rise" spoiler from the GSX is for directing air and keeping the rear stable.

    Down force and aerodynamics of 2G GSX

    Ok, essentially what I've gathered is that the aero of the GSX is fine as is, and there are no body kits that will really help that at all. (What about the big spoiler on the back of the GSX) its all in a proper suspension set up. Lower 2-3in with proper corrections made afterward. (+ or - toe...
