I have experienced the same, as recently as 2 years ago with a "reputable" performance shop and my C7Z. That was the first time I paid someone to work on one of my cars in about 2 decades, and it was a terrible experience. You're absolutely right, but I am at a point in my life where I don't...

Just here to say I appreciate the effort, looking great.

Is the purpose of this to put all the battery to starting the car?

Does anyone have any suggestions as far as electronics go? I'm definitely doing a digital dash and aftermarket ECU right away with the harness install. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for other electronics that I should install at the same time. I'm assuming the digital dash...

To be honest, I dont know the details on the trans but I know its not a dog box. I was told it was built, but I can't remember by who. It looks brand new, but that doesn't mean much.Hm, ill have to read up on the strain gauge, never heard of it and have no idea how it works. Thanks

Please report back what you find and save me the time of doing the research lol

I found this company https://makomotorsport.com/ and reached out to them to see if they make a 2g cluster for the 7" link display. They dont have it on their website, but the guy responded and said he can make me one. He did say some modification would need to be done to fit it, because its a...

Ah gotcha. From the reading I have been doing, I haven't seen anything negative yet about Link ECUs. The customer support seems to be a big positive for most.

Is there a reason you went with the powertune dash over the link dash?I already have the full harness for the car, which the previous owner said cost a couple grand, It would suck to throw that to the side. Im not ruling out Fueltech, I just started with Link because that's what the guy who...

Well, you came off as a **** so you got a **** response. Now that you have responded politely, I will do the same.I too have experienced the same. The guy who will be doing the harness/ecu/electronics install is a small business owner who specializes in EVO's. He's about an hour...

Thanks for that helpful tip!

Exactly.

Well, if you're going off the idea that I need to be able to build motors, build transmissions, tune, fabricate, weld, and wire things, then yes, I guess you are right, I'm not back in the game. If that's your theory, I was never in the game in the first place. It's sad that you have to make a...

Thanks man, much appreciated.

The car I bought has parts on it I've never seen or heard of... For example, a clutch master and brake master reservoir combined into one. Has a FF fuel cell I've never seen before. It's crazy how so many things changed in just a few years.

The info you provided me about injectors is exactly what I am looking for. When I was in the DSM game, impedance wasn't even a thing that people spoke of. It was purely how man CC's your injector flowed.I planned on ordering Volk suspension parts, just trying to do my research first.I...

I put this here because I feel like a newb, even though I do have a lot of experience with DSMs.Been out of the DSM game for about a decade, picked up another one that I plan on having some fun with.I've been reading and a lot has changed over the years when it comes to these cars.I...

Not sure how knowledgeable you are, but I may need some help in the future if you are willing.

The last piece of my partout, I finally decided to part with my wheels. Old school 2 piece racing harts. http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/old-school-racing-hart-cr-2-piece-wheels-2000.520549/

3 years later I wanted to give y'all an update. I'm still a DSM'er at heart and one day I will build another. But for now, this is my new toy.

This ad is 3 years old...

Is a 95 Eagle Summit AWD in automatic worth anything? It runs and drives, decent shape for the age. A friend knows someone who has one for sale. I know people have done 4g63 swaps in the summits so there has to be a small market for these cars. I'm just wondering if I should look into buying...

Its been awhile since I parted out my DSM, I think I may have sold you that radio delete for your gauges? Anyway, I may be interested in your car. I'm looking to getting back into a DSM and I've been waiting for a clean car to pop up. Not sure how much of a rush you are in to get rid of it as...

No problem, hopefully someone else can chime in to help a bit more. Ive been out of the game for couple years

No you don't need the rest of the exhaust. If I recall correctly in DSM link you can simulate the rear 02 sensor, its been awhile so someone correct me if I'm wrong. I ran a wideband in the rear 02, deleted the rear 02 sensor completely. You can adjust the FPR by turning the pump on through...

Jeff you got the story in person! For the rest of the folks on here, either the SBC or the ACT 2600 crank walked my motor. About 500 miles after installing the 2600 the motor crank walked. :banghead: I know for a fact that I checked the thrust bearing clearance 4 times while assembling the...

Fastfred is correct, the wire is REALLY stiff and a pain in the butt to run. I don't have experience with the wire he is telling you to buy but I can tell you the power wire they give you has little to no flexibility.

Pretty sure the 4 small wires go from your fuse box to your battery, the large one goes from your battery to your starter. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, its been years since I did this.

It will be hard to wire it to the existing positive cable because If I remember correctly when I did mine the fuse box has 4 smaller power wires going to it. I used a distribution block with 4 smaller ports on 1 side and 2 larger ports on the other side. The power cable from the battery went...

My suggestion is to leave the turbo oil return line disconnected and pull the valve cover before you crank to get oil pressure. Once you see everything is getting properly lubed in the head and oil is coming out of the turbo return line then you know oil has gotten everywhere.

As long as your bearings are lubed you are good. If you're really worried about it drop the pan, pull the caps, and put some good quality build lube in

He could, as long as the motor was properly lubed when assembled.

You planning on dropping the car off and picking it up running or just having the motor built?

Did they prime/pack the oil pump when assembling? What about all the bearings, im assuming assembly lube was used? If so a good quality assembly lube shouldnt run off into the pan. If they lubed the motor properly, you shouldnt have to worry about priming the motor with a drill. The...

lol well I guess my trans wasnt shifting properly all those years...

Thats crazy, I bought my car from the original owner and It was bone stock when I bought it. I never had those washers on my shifter bracket? Thats odd...

I never had any step washers on that bracket, bolted it right to the trans..

Shell is sold. I still have some parts left, see my ad for the parts1g/2g OEM & Performance Parts - DSM Classifieds

See my classified ad for what's left.

This is an ad for a SHELL not a turbo, manifold, ic and plumbing. I do have those things for sale in another classified ad, but there is NO WAY you are getting them for that price.

Did you not read the ad?

Im getting out of the DSM game, my loss is your gain. I have way too much invested into my car to sell as a whole so Im parting it out.
