Would DSM and any Evo1-3 folks be interested in us offering MHI/FP bolt-on EWG O2 housings? Some nice features here-Tightly executed true 2.5" bend
-Exact wastegate placement we've found to clear any configuration (dipstick, 2g/Evo alternator stud, factory Evo radiators, etc)
-Can also be...
Being able to fit a TiAL Sport/Xona Rotor internally wastegated (IWG) turbo in nearly every DSM/Evo1-3/GVR4/CSM engine bay was exciting, but to also have an IWG setup without needing to relocate the alternator or oil filter has us pretty thrilled. We've had our eye on their IWG housing for a...
Hey fellow members!We recently released a tech article about what a turbo manifold does and took part in a podcast with HP Academy that briefly went over some of it, too.We had been thinking about doing an Ask Us Anything (in relation to our work) and right now seems like the perfect time...
I was recently asked this question and completely botched the answer- making it seem like they do nothing. So now is a good time to share what we’ve learned so far.We have both a short answer and a long answer to this question. There are more factors and details involved but this aspect...
Not all v-band turbos share the same v-band flange.
For most common brands/options it comes down to the centering ring size- the male lip on the manifold outlet and matching female groove on the turbine housing inlet. Each brand has a different size groove, so some brand turbos will "fit" on...
Showing some design aspects/challenges with our fabricated/tubular DSM stock replacement manifold and why they are important for power per psi for all turbo manifolds and generating more airflow with less boost by having less residual exhaust gas remaining in the cylinder. Hoping to have more...
We did a tech seminar at the 2021 DSM Shootout.This briefly goes into what a turbo exhaust manifold does and goes over the testing we’ve done.We are currently developing (what will seem like) a novel and several videos delving into it much, much deeper; once complete, we will share it here...
We've added DSM and Evo 5/8" turbo oil drain kits to the line-up for applications that the 3/4" kits didn't quite fit, allowing a drain kit for just about every turbo. The 3/4" kit is excellent for Borg Warner S300/400 and Holsets that require a large diameter drain to handle the oil...
Full flow 5/8" drain kit for 14b/16g/FP bolt-on turbos where the factory drain doesn't quite work or if you would rather slide a hose off during turbo removal instead of dealing with gaskets.
Each fitting is slightly angled toward each other for an easier bend with the high temp hose and the oil...
Showing off some of the RWD manifolds :)We've nailed down a really nice placement that will work with most applications and architecture, and fits a wide range of turbos and flange options. Medium to large frame, V-band and T3 to divided T4.We will get them sorted out on the website but...
For sale: Haltech platinum sport 2000Plug and play for a 1g.We bought it from Adam St. John a few years ago (and iirc, everything had recently been gone through by haltech when he sold it to us so it’s good to go).I’m upgrading so no longer need this. It’s never been used by us.Can...
Large Runner vs. Small runnerWe’ve always felt strongly about taking advantage of runner/primary sizing and matching it to the setup, which is nothing new for manifold/header building, but somewhat uncommon for most DSM and Evo turbo manifolds. Historically, “large” runner options have been...
Just a few months before this test, we would have unquestionably suggested a cast option to anyone looking for a bolt-on, stock DSM flange manifold. It has long been the consensus that “cast is king” in the DSM bolt-on turbo world. However, people kept asking and new bolt-on turbo options were...
DSM Stock Replacement.Historically it's something we haven't offered due to the compromised bends and entry angles when fitting a fabricated manifold between the tightly placed factory flanges. It's not something we gave up on and are happy to prove ourselves wrong, even if it requires getting...
Hello! We wanted to highlight some of the things that we find important, and also happen to be some things that set us apart:▪️It starts with an oval port exhaust flange. We feel very strongly about using formed runners instead of the entire oval to round transition being done within a 1/2"...
Since our first (non bolt-on) turbo swap, we've been salvaging OEM Holset drain lines to make a true 3/4" drain line. And while AN fittings and lines work, we’ve always preferred a simple clamped hose with fittings that are much closer to an actual 3/4″ ID than a comparable AN fitting. Not being...
We've been eyeing up 321 for many years and were really excited to find a solid supplier to make the switch. While 304L works very well (and has been/still is the standard manifold material used across the board), 321 is a stabilized grade of stainless that has much more ideal high temperature...
Install photo Friday!Zak Szczepinski’s ‘90 Talon! He paired his existing Garrett GTW 3884r (aka 6465) with our Large Runner T3 manifold; making 100whp more at the same boost vs the old combination. Zak plans on making some changes this season and we can’t wait to see what he does next. Easily...
Hurst/Ratchet Shift Lever and BracketLow profile shift lever and bracket for use with the Hurst Promatic 2, B&M Pro, and other similar ratchet shifters for a DSM. Fits 1g/2g/FWD/AWD turbo A/T models.
The cable and linkages that came with your ratchet shifter should be tried first, but if they...
We've had the small runner divided T4 to cover medium frame divided T4 turbos with a killer powerband, and now offer a large runner bottom mount to support all the way up to GT42 and S400 frame turbos!This is something we’ve wanted to do for a while, and after much scrutiny on collector...
Hi, all:We share a lot of what we do on our Facebook/Instagram pages but there's no better place to document all of it than here! We'll just throw random photos on here that we think are neat :)Cheers,

First, we want to say that we aren't necessarily for or against using a Saturn alternator. We are always for options, though :) Also, this post applies to folks who prefer the alternator up front, not relocated behind the engine.When keeping the Saturn alternator in the factory location, the...
This lower profile shift lever is over an inch shorter, and has been designed with its own shift cable bracket to maintain the factory motion ratios while being as low and out of the way as possible (more upper intercooler piping room!) while still clearing the 2g neutral safety switch.304...
Forums have been an integral part of our lives since our love for DSMs began – which is nearing 30 years combined now. DSMTuners has been the place where we have spent countless hours; a place where we’ve made lifelong friendships, created how to’s and build threads, spent hours of our time...
A serious bottom mount for large frame v-band turbos, such as a GT42 with the TiAL v-band turbine housing or PT6870 through PT7675 with the TH4V turbine housing.
Equal length runners, formed transitions, and built to make big power in a “standard” yet very potent package.A full...
Ever since we saw the Xona Rotor lineup in person at the Shootout, we were itching to take advantage of their superb dimensions and capabilities!To do this, we gave them their very own placement and built an equal length manifold around it. The Xona manifold compactly fits both X3C and the...
DSM Small Runner Twin Scroll T4 -
Initially developed for road race and track cars (where quick spool, transient response, and and aggressive powerband are crucial), without the limited turbo options of divided T3 while offering a higher flow potential. Designed with the Borg Warner S300 series...
We aren’t necessarily for or against switching to a Saturn alternator as there are pros and cons to each that have been covered throughout the years. Some of our vehicles have the factory one and some don’t; Clunkbox ended up going this route partly because we had a new Saturn one laying around...
The factory shift lever is 3″ tall and takes up space that is normally used for upper intercooler piping. This lower profile shift lever is about 1″ tall, and has been designed with its own shift cable bracket to maintain the factory motion ratios. This gives more room for intercooler piping...
Every 1g we get our hands on, we move the bottom radiator mounts forward ~3″ so it’s straight up and down. This creates an enormous space savings for puller fans and lower intercooler piping. For a bottom mount, you can often use stock fans, and a top mount can run a larger downpipe under the...
When we acquired an automatic, one glaring difference was the shift lever off the transmission is (almost) as awkwardly tall as the shifter inside the car; and is right where you want to run the intercooler piping. This lower profile shift lever is ~1″ vs. the factory 3" tall, and has been...

Back in 2016, when we decided we were going to create a manifold that fit all of our personal needs for our personal cars, we acquired a variety of flanges and spent a lot of time deciding which would be the most ideal for us. We went into our search knowing that each runner, from the exhaust...

Designing and creating a manifold has always been intriguing. In the initial phase, there is a clean palate – there is an available opportunity to craft the manifold around specific needs and wants. With it comes significant trial and error in figuring out what works and what doesn’t, and...
