I will take a full set for a 2G AWD.

The block machining is too high.The assembly is a little too high.The head work is too much, unless that includes the price the price of the valves and/or the head needed extra work. Head work costs can vary.The MSD costs too much and it is of no use. They don't do crap and 99% of...

You can make craploads of power on an unported head with some springs/retainers and some 1mm over valves thrown in. I wouldn't spend a bunch of money on head porting until you have the best of everything else and can't find any power elsewhere. A lot of the normal turbos will maxout airflow...

Huge turbos are no problem for daily drivers. You don't go into boost at the drop of hat, so you get good gas mileage and if you know how to downshift lag isn't an issue. They are also insane in the upper gears on the freeway in even an AWD.

Autovations is a ricer fest.

Most of the MN guys are on local board DSMStyle.com. We are having a meet/dyno day on July 17th.

The reason why you can run a leaner A/F ratio on high octane gas is because it has better knock resistance and has a slower controlled burn. Often you have to lean out race gas to even get back to your normal A/F though. That is because race gases often have a different specific density than...

I usually got for around 11.2:1 on pump gas on DSMs and around 12:1 on race gas.

Going to big wheels like 18s can hurt HP output at the wheels. I have seen it happen on cars before.If he was using SAE correction, it should take most of the humidity and temperature differences into account and give very close numbers from one weather condition to another.High...

I have a 2.4l 7-bolt making 660whp and ran 10.4 (breaking 4th gear during that run) in my heavy 2G. My old 2.0l 7-bolt was running around 490whp until the stupid water cooled oil filter housing backed off and I lost all the oil causing the motor to put a rod through the block. I don't have a...

I am not pissed. Just wanted to maybe help some people out who may have been considering buying a turbo like this, thinking they are the best thing since sliced bread. Some of us have been around for a little while and seen some of the shit that has come out of previous renditions of the...

Maybe that should be their marketing slogan? "All the power of an EVO III 16G, but with the lag of a T3/T4"You are doing a disservice to your customers by selling them this crap. I wouldn't offer this crap to my customers. It is your job as a vendor to try to sell your customers a...

Well, for around 290whp, why not just get a 16G or get an EVO 3 16G and make even more.

H3? V-trim? Are these turbos straight out of the 1960s? Why would anyone sell or buy turbos with these archaic compressor wheels in them? With shops like FP and AMS testing and experimenting with all the newer GT compressor wheels and the things that the GT exhaust wheels are capable of, it...

Maybe the spark plugs got fouled out if you didn't lean out the global settings in DSMLink as soon as you put the bigger injectors in. You don't need a FPR, I have friends running 880s and making over 600whp with stock fuel systems besides inejctors and a fuel pump.

Should have had Ened tow it to Elite, that's where all the fast DSMs in MN come from. :)

I wouldn't bother switching to a fancy bling-bling manifold if you have a Mitsu exhaust sided turbo. A ported 2G or EVO 3 exhaust manifold will work fine.

His 12.6 second 14B Talon made 276whp on race gas! Mad power.Cher, 4 more psi and you might have the same HP as me. :D

96+ DSMs can datalog, its just that generic OBD2 does not support output of knock sum like the DSM specific 1G dataloggers do. The ECU knows the knock sum, its just that OBD2 doesn't have a way to tell you. If you have a DSMLink, you can get at the knock.On a side note, we have one of the...

The HP that a GTech or Blitz reports is nothing like the HP reported at the wheels by a real Dynojet. When your car ran 109mph, it was probably putting down around 285-310whp assuming your car weighs around 3000lbs. I have dynoed a few DSMs putting down right around 300whp on a Dynojet chassis...

Was your 410whp without the 75 shot of nitrous? Was that the SAE corrected number or the uncorrected number? If the dyno was at high altitude and a correction factor like SAE, STD, DIN or EEC were used then your horsepower numbers won't be anywhere near accurate. The correction factors do not...

Um does anyone on here even know what a knock sensor is? Its just a microphone, so reading the knock sensor isn't all that big of a deal. The problem is that the AFC will just give a knock # which won't mean a lot. The louder the motor gets, the higher the # will go. So as you go up the...

My girlfriend's car put down 298WHP on her 14B last year on race gas. At the time she had stock injectors, stock sidemount, no AFC, stock cams, stock 1G compression motor with 115,000 miles on it. The car ran is AWD ran 12s and trapped 108mph. A well tuned 2G with its higher compression and a...

Dynojets output HP numbers and use RPM to figure torque in software. If you run a car on a Dynojet and don't hook up the RPM pickup then you will only get HP, you won't get any torque numbers. So also if the RPM pickup is having trouble getting a good reading like in the dyno posted above, you...
