Awesome project! Is that the steering rack you are relocating with the hockey puck mounts? Very interested to hear more about what you'll have to clearance or move for the front subframe and steering to fit everything in OK.Are you using a 6 or 7 bolt for this? Are there RWD oil pans from a...
Anything that is greyed out is simply not being captured. Go into captured values and add back in any of the items that aren't currently logging which you would like to have.
Why go through the headache? Just find a decent used T3 manifold from the classifieds on here, the other forums, or eBay! The cheap tubular stuff really does not hold up well and although I have no data on that exact manifold I know Rev9 is cheap eBay stuff. If you are desperate to get...
Don't ever think to update my profile but did a minor overhaul to the car so figured now would be a good time. Had a ported 1g head with big cams, OS valves, etc and an HX40 but it was too laggy for my liking so I just swapped back to a 2g head, stock intake mani, stock TB, and BB 50 trim to...
Looks great, what a transformation! I gotta get the body work done on mine this year at some point. Might end up with a vinyl wrap since its a lot cheaper. Good luck with the rest of your build!
Glad to hear the next batch is happening, was just talking to a buddy with these the other day and asked him for your contact info. I'm in for a set for sure!Corey Jenson (gofer)

Seriously grateful for all the photocopies and camera shots over the years ^^^ Can't tell you how many things I've learned and committed to memory since about 2004 from all of your posts. Bad ass to have the power of the FSM images clipped and posted in relevant threads that are easy to search...
Appreciate the info on the weight, I agree these will be large on a DSM! I have 18's so they'll clear, but understand where you're coming from regarding the added unsprung mass. Eventually I'd love to get my car on a road course or AutoX track, but I have little time and even less expendable...
Thanks for the correction, I have been working with metric measurements in CATIA and spaced out what the stock measurement was in inches! That is better for me though, I initially tried to make this bracket with the normal Evo 9 caliper and rotor in mind and it was looking a bit too tight. A...
I tried to read through most of the Brembo swap threads to gather all of the info up and feel like the only swaps so far have involved running matching sets. Either an Evo 8/9 caliper with 12.6" rotor or an Evo X caliper with 13.1" rotor combo.I have a freshly powdercoated set of 9 calipers...
What do you mean the timing cover has it wrong? That looks perfect? Although the crank pulley could be put on in four different orientations if the dowel pin is missing on the end of the crank timing belt gear so thats not the best way to verify timing. Its good that you used a screwdriver to...
Although we all had high hopes to see our platform in the spotlight well past it's prime and to have you prove year after year how versatile the DSM can be, I think those goals have already been well accomplished and you should be very proud for putting in the time and effort over the years to...
The dogbox, motor, and turbo more than cover the cost of that purchase price and the rest is just a bonus. No way you could duplicate anything close for that value and its in a 2gb Talon on top which will eventually be worth way more. Keep that thing for another 10-20 years and watch it's value...
You may just be misreading what he wrote unless he is writing something different than he is thinking he's right on. The exhaust goes to the minor turbo first then spins the turbine of the major. The intake comes through the major and its' compressor goes into the intake of the minor who's...
Awesome work Kyle, pretty damn cool how much you've developed your fab skills since leaving the PNW. Glad to hear you're so close to making the move back to the US and to a nice climate at that. Car is really coming back together after pulling the Holset setup, I'm excited to see how the motor...
Also, the race bearings do not have less surface area, they are harder. The softer Alumaglide style bearings that aren't the Tri-Metal will allow for dirt/debris to get inbetween the crank and bearing without as much damage. A Tri-Metal is stronger and does not tolerate such debris. It will eat...
Just went through this on my block. Mains were a little on the high side and after ordering STD ACL Race bearings my clearances were .0035" when I wanted 2.5 thou. Ordered the -.025mm which is the same as saying .001" thicker for less clearance. This tightened things up perfectly without having...
Lots of the info you will find on this site was written 10 years ago. When the first 2.3/2.4 strokers were coming out KarKing was a source for some of us since they advertised to our group and there were both positive and negative results over the years. For that kind of money I'd think twice...
I've also asked this several times and its tough to get much of a response since those in the know are typically actual vendors that have money on the line and can't be publicly defacing their competitors without looking like children. I actually changed my plans of building my 2.3l that was in...
So I just wanted to give the community a heads up on a messed up situation I am dealing with involving PayPal which I assume most of us use for parts sales. I was contacted about a classified add by KENDRICK COLLIER of GAINESVILLE, GA last month and negotiated the sale of some parts. He paid via...
Thanks for the tips, I have an ETS race core and every head mod you could do with some GSC S2s which I was afraid may have been a little big but should help at high RPM. I read in one thread that someone was having trouble getting the turbo to hold boost that high, were you using manual or...
The DSM platform, while awesome and reliable if the owner is meticulous and maintains their car, is notoriously finicky. Taking a foreign platform and grafting it's internals into this chassis seems silly when a 4g63 can make more power than you'll ever need on mostly stock parts and...
Well I took the plunge and picked up a dirt cheap HY35 to try and chase after these other guys using it with success into the 10s! I know there are more than a few 50 trims/Greens in the 10's but they are rated at nearly 10lbs/min less airflow so I have to think the Holset is the better choice...
Jesus sorry to hear of the failure! Did you assemble this yourself after having the machine work done? Be nice if you could post a better picture of the cylinder walls but they look OK from what I see on my cell phone in the one pic you posted. You may have had an injector stick open and...
Welcome to the WC dude! Thats a pretty sweet offer to haul around cars and help with welding right off the bat, nice to see a new addition to the group that has some skills! The PNW DSM scene died off hard when the EVO's came out but they are making a solid comeback and like Boosted mentioned...
^^^ Beautiful 1g lol? This looks amazing, hard to believe it really has under 10k miles but the exterior sure looks like it. Glad you're asking for local buyers since I'd want to fly out and drive it home but that's a great way to end up in a scam of some kind. Hope you can find a buyer quick, I...
I really wanted to get an HY35 after buying my new MAP T3 mani, but got scared by many of the people around the forums talking about the small 9cm housing choking the 60lb/min compressor too much to max it out. I've seen almost every post by bastarddsm about his experiences with it and its very...
Richard is a very, very nice guy. I bought the head that he had on her for a very reasonable price as well. Its sad that the car was parted out since it really was a masterpiece but this is great news to hear that you picked it up from him and will be putting it back together! Good luck and keep...
Could you be a little bit more specific? Do you mean that you have an automatic and that it is holding gears longer than it used to? If so check your fluid level and do so correctly according to shop procedure which I believe is in neutral. I haven't owned one yet but will be swapping one in...
Cons of setup: Wastes energy that could instead be used in a traditional turbo application appropriately sized for response instead of maximum power. The Volvo example that uses twins and then this electric turbo as a supplement could be OK but the second and potentially worse con is the weight...
Wrong. Sequential is exactly what the word sequential means, one after the other. As in a small turbo feeds into the engine and a larger turbo to improve the low end, then is bypassed once it is spooled to allow for the larger turbo to do all of the work. Twins would be two of the same turbo...
Wanting confirmation on something you think may or may not be right and telling people that you are right are not the same things. Asking a question and getting an answer only to tell that person that you already knew what they told you or that you have looked up something else on your own and...
He is using a compound setup which is backwards from the traditional sequential setup on cars like the FD RX7 where a small turbo initially spools then a large turbo takes over up top. In a compound setup, the larger turbo is the first to get intake air and the smaller turbo the first to get...
W.T.F. MATE!?!? I sure hope you wrench better than you write. The only thing an ASE cert proves is that you paid $69 to prove that you can do the same work a monkey that went shopping at Sears can and trying to use it as an argument or status makes me question whether or not that testing center...
If you already had an ECU with DSMLink V3 on it, then why in gods name would you need to pay someone for a remote tune and another burned chip. Then after getting both systems, why would you want to copy the locked in tune just to copy it onto the DSMLink chip when you could have just used the...
While it could be possible to find a set of stroker pistons in 87mm even though it would be rare, the compression height is standard on the piston set that he has. Considering the large bore meant for the 4g64 block and that CH, he definitely does not have stroker pistons. He has std 2.4l...
The Audi systems are a longitudinal setup, basically a RWD drivetrain that has a transfer case to the front wheels. The balance is better and it allows for a more traditional power delivery. Our horizontal setup is a FWD platform with a transfer case haphazardly attached with a third shaft that...
I'm not going to list answers to each bullet point, but to get the discussion going for you, simply put yes it looks like someone previously set up an 88mm crank for a destroker which would require the 156mm rods and stock size and compression height (pin location) pistons. To remedy this...
I get the idea behind what you are saying in that simple mechanical systems are functional without as much hassle and provide worry free operation, but to say that they are "proactive" vs. the newer systems being "reactive" sets of some alarm bells. The newer systems sample braking, rotational...
Another option that is popular is the WyntonM seller on Ebay. He is an individual guy that actually got his own design made by one of the foreign companies that copy the TiAL units and they have worked well in the past for lots of users at around the $80 price point. I don't like his new design...
No, the cable ends that stick out of the sheath are longer. The cruise discs/plates that the end opposite the pedal attaches to requires more cable since it travels farther around in a bigger circle as compared to the actual throttle disc. I think that I still have my stock cruise throttle cable...
