Hey guys I’m looking to upgrade my Tcase/driveshaft this year to a 300m output and I’m debating between the addition of a magnus side cover or a Frontline Fab brace, I’d love to do the brace but there’s not much room between the Tcase and the down pipe/exhaust, are any of you guys running the...
Hey guys! Just wanted to post up a cool video I watched on YouTube. Lots of history on Mitsubishi’s rally era’s with the evo and such, but a pretty cool video check it out:)
So how many turbo’s has your DSM been with? I thought this would be a fun thread to start for people to share some history with their cars. When I bought my car in 2013 it had a genuine evo 3 16g. In some ways I feel like I accomplished MOST on that set up than where I am now on a precision gen...
Hey guys! Yes todays my birthday, and I know making my own post about it is a bit narcissistic lol, but I haven’t posted in awhile and just wanted to say I hope everyone is doing okay! I wish everyone the best with their DSM and just want to thank everyone who contributes to this forum with...
First of all I just have to thank Steven@biglady112 for his time and knowledge with this car. This day went better than I could’ve hoped for and FAR exceeded my expectations. Final numbers were 701whp on a mustang dyno at altitude:)
Does John Shepherd still hold this record? This is a trick/catch 22 honest question. I know the “Record” of Shep’s 7.70 was the overall 1/4 mile record for like 10 years until I believe Jeff Bush broke it in his Auto 1g, then Devin in the 2g, then Jeff, then Devin and somewhere in the mix came...
Hey guys lol, as the title states I’m curious if I should continue to run my $h!t 68% pump ethanol or run the high dollar race ethanol. My setup is a built piston/rod 6 bolt with a gen 2 6266, currently at 34ish psi, timing up top is only 15 degrees, no issues so far, but the nectar of the GODS...
Hey guys! My cars currently spending the night on the side of the road till morning. I was out ripping/tuning when this happened…I’m assuming it shorted out on something after that last 2nd gear pull, has this ever happened to any of you guys? Tomorrow morning I’m gonna cut out the FUBAR’d fuse...
Hey guys, I just threw in a new set of NGK br8es plugs, which I’ve ran in the past, replacing br8 iridium’s. These have maybe a few miles and 4 WOT pulls or so. AFR’s we’re 11:6-11:4 at WOT on a 6266 at 26 psi on 72% ethanol. 9:1 motor, from what I’ve read and gathered a full white strap could...
Had the pleasure of cruising to a local car meet in my brother n laws Delorean!This thing is in showroom condition and gets ALOT of attention lol, more than the lambo lol. For 99whp it gets around pretty good. The best part about riding in one is popping the gullwing doors and stepping back...
Hey guys I’m hoping someone can help me out with this issue. I’m 200 miles or so into my build, had some clutch drag like most, had it fixed apparently for a day until I adjusted the rod some more and it’s been a downhill journey since, haven’t driven the car in the past month because of this...
Hey guys as the title states I’m in the midst of a first world DSM problem lol, my car sounds like a tin can Honda, and I can’t stand it. The car is a built 2.0 6266 street car, hauls balls but sounds terrible, my question is should I just add muffler? My prior exhaust before this V band 3”...
Hey guys I’m looking for some feedback on this part, I’m assembling my first fully built long block with balance shafts removed, and I’m aware this causes an increase in oil pressure, this seems like a good part to remedy that but doesn’t seem to be commonly used. Is anybody out there using one...
This is just a fun “which housing do you prefer, and why” thread. And YES, I hope Justin will chime in with his opinion lol, I’m already decided on the turbo I’d like to run, which is the XONA 82-69s, but I’ve yet to buy the turbo, or manifold, the T3 set up is slightly cheaper, but the V band...
Hello tuners. I’m finally dropping off my block/head off at the machine shop next month, the only part I haven’t purchased yet are bearings. I know some are fond of H beams, some I beams, some Aluminum. I went with Manley “turbo tuff” I beams and 625+ bolts for a proven “street” set up. If I...
Alright guys I’m looking for opinions, I know everybody has one lol, I’m still collecting parts for my build, but I’m currently in a dilemma with a pretty important part, the front cover/oil pump. I’m going to be running a bsek with the oem stub shaft, from what I’ve read the straight cut gears...
Hey guys I’ve got a couple questions. It’s been a while since I did the ole stm fuel pump rewire with my single intank walbro, now I’m lost on these 2 wires on the hanger, the blue and green wire, I know it’s probably a dumb question, I appreciate any help, I can’t believe this thing didn’t come...
Anybody else see this?OSTAR had a good run:hellyeah::rocks::dsm:It would be cool however to see a build sheet/proof tear down to back it up as OSTAR willingly submitted do to all the skeptics lol
Hey guys I’ve got a quick question, I’m basically set on buying a south bend clutch for my car this fall, specifically the 2700lb ssx pp with the full face ceramic disc, allegedly good for 650 lb/ft of torque, my question is why is the comp stage 3 clutch with the same #2700 lb pp and full face...
Title says it all, I’ve since moved on and will be running a t4 divided setup but I think it’s awesome their still releasing new turbos for these dinosaurs, but I know they first mentioned this turbo in like September of last year and it’s still not on their website, does somebody know something...
whats up guys, just throwing this feeler out a few days early to gauge interest. This set up is still on my car and I will be pulling it this weekend. I would like to sell everything together for $1600 but I’m willing to separate. Turbo is a fp DSM82hta in great condition, I’ve been running it...
Just happened to be on tmz’s awd rebuild page and noticed he no longer offers his stg 3/4 buildOMG. I understand parts are simply becoming non existent, i know Jack’s dropped their evo 3 Ultimate Ratio build a year or so ago, it just sucks for 5 speed guys in the 400-600 hp street car range. I...
Whats up guys, like the title states, I’m curious if there’s a way to get my wastegate to hold more than 35 psi, the car has been boost leak tested to 50 psi with no leaks, I know the 38 is a better gate for high boost, but my fp dsm82 is flanged for the 44 so I didn’t have a choice.
What’s up guys, I’m headed to the KBPI car show next weekend, Sunday the 18th. Just wanted to give a shout to any dsm’ers in the Colorado/Wyoming area to come check it out with me:thumb: I just bought my pass today to enter the show so I can run my car a few times and have some fun:hellyeah:
What’s up guys, so I’m gonna vent a little frustration here on this piece. Today I decided to inspect my filter element/replace if need be for the sake of my precious top shelf turbo, only to find it was a mission impossible task. This thing is rediculous trying to remove, I called fp and they...
What’s up guys! Just curious who’s out there pushin there luck besides me, I’m in a better financial situation now than I was a couple years ago when I had my motor rebuilt, at the time I did a budget rebuild with cheese. Original crank, rods, and pistons which according to the machine looked...
Today I plastered a smile on my face along with 2 others. Running my car at 34psi on a dsm82. Ive got no questions or complaints, just want to say when you put in an honest effort on these cars they pull thru, literally. This is what it’s all about. My car is a BLAST on the street. I want...
What do you guys run for tq on your cars? So far I’m having success on a dsm82, 32 psi, with a composite head gasket and standard arp’s torqued to 115 ft/lbs. E85 fuel with fat afr’s, 11.7-11.8, conservative timing, 14 degrees up top, the purpose of this thread is to hear about others...
What’s up guys, I just recently upgraded turbos/suspension, I’m in need of tires to compliment this, I’ve read others having success with Nokian snow tires, what are you guys running/recommend for 500whp on the street?
This turbo was rebuilt by Justin in 2017. It has maybe 2500 miles on it with ZERO shaftplay, still in excellent condition and ready to make power. Only reason I’m selling is I’m upgrading to something bigger. I’m also willing to include the ss 2.5” o2 housing, along with the fp blue drain/oil...
Does anybody remember this particular 1320 video on YouTube? It’s hands down my favorite video EVER involving a dsm, not to take away from Shep or Boostin lol, but this video had a couple 2.0 liters doing WORK on a line up of big blown, turbo, nitrous v8’s:hellyeah: It almost came down to 2.0...
Whats up guys, what’s your favorite thing about these money pits? For me it’s the joy of wrenching on them and how my car never fails to put a smile on my face. She’s currently in the garage off the jack stands with some new hawk hp plus pads, a new oil pan that hopefully won’t leak anymore, and...
What’s up guys, my car is currently on jack stands as I’m sure many other dsm’s are this time of year lol. I’m replacing my oil pan as it’s been leaking for awhile and I’m finally getting around to fixing it. Anyways I’m torn between sticking with my fp red and maybe getting a smim for a little...
