Good luck at Boostin on Monday. How fast you think you can push this new setup?You happen to weigh your fiberglass fenders and compare that to the stock fenders weight? I only ask as I talked to Sergio about making carbon fiber fenders for my 1ga and he said that the carbon fiber 1gb fenders...

Same here, that would be great to see a build thread for this car. It's gonna be awesome.I got a question on roll cage requirements/chassis certifications for uni-body cars. This is based on seeing how Devin did the floor bars in his car.https://sfifoundation.com/drag-racing-chassis/...

Today I finished up my driver side door mounting in my trailer. The frame I made is using 1” x 1” aluminum angle iron with 1/4” wall thickness. I used some c-channel to replicate the chassis side brackets and the door latch clicks onto the old hatch latch loop (i think thats what that is)...

Yeah, I would agree its not an issue with PILink. This feature hasn’t worked on my macbook air since I started using it for ecmlink earlier this year. I’ll post over on the ecmtuning forum as well. I just always figured it was me being a mac novice... haha

I'd assume it's made by carbonetics.

Today I upgraded the quick pull door hinges I made with the quick pull aluminum door hinges that FTY racing sells. My old door hinges are shown below on the right. In these I cut out the center pin and replaced it with a quick pull pin from McMaster-Carr. They did allow me to take both doors...

Thanks for the input. I don't run the stock gauge cluster. I tried to route the tach signal that goes into the stock gauge cluster into the autometer gauge but that didn't work. ECU pin #109, PTU pin #4, the tach signal wire, and the tach signal screw on the back of the gauge cluster are all...

Thanks for the info. I tried that pin 21 (black wire from the CAS) while running this weekend and that is where it is currently hooked up. Didn't work for me. I'm starting to think this 5" tach I got with an old car that I parted out isn't working correctly.I looked at the back of the gauge...

These past few months on my track car I have removed about two rubbermaid containers of wiring and saved 60+ pounds on unnecessary wiring, dash, instrument cluster, etc. However I have had one issue I haven't been able to fix and I have searched everywhere I could on how to fix it and none of...

123bobby123 submitted a new DSM Profile :Dirty Bird RacingRead more about this vehicle here...

haha, awesome! Where did you get that from?

Thanks for catching that! I fixed it.

Last one is my favorite. Daryl Hudson.Reach out to Phil Beers on DSM Nation on Facebook. I’m sure you know the guy. He is like a DSM historian... LOL. I got all but the last picture from him.

I ended up using the below parts and it fit up fine and looked the same as the one I took out in terms of what stuck into the transmission.MD746492: Drive gear MD756606: VSSIf I remember right this 2g VSS sticks out of the transmission much more (leaves room for electronics internal to the...

Tech Edge WBO2A Sensor kit for sell with o2 sensor, wiring, control box, and digital display. $120 shipped. Sold as is.

All used 1G AWD DSM parts. Sold as is. Shipped USPS cheapest option if not picked up in person. Very motivated seller, make me an offer.

1G DSM AEM Series 1 ECM for sale.$500 shipped.Sold as is.Part number 30-1300.Comes with serial cable, original AEM installation CD, original box.

Thanks, yeah that is what I saw in the fuel map and what I have been seeing from my research. So without a bunch of logs/other data parameters I can't back calculate anything.

Does anyone know how to pull volumetric efficiency values out of a AEM Series 1 ECM?Short story long, I pulled the motor I am using out of car that was tuned on an AEM series 1 ECM. I will use ECMlink to tune and run the engine as its more straightforward to me than the old AEM and has all...

Did you ever find which 2G VSS gear and which 2G VSS sensor body you needed in order for it to install into a 1G transmission?I have a 1G AWD and I need to wire up a 2G VSS to work with my ECMLink (1g speedo cable is gone).But I see that 2 - 2G AWD gears (MD746492 and MD749150) and 2 - 2G...

Two raced at LSPR this weekend. Both ran pretty well at times, I’m not sure how they finished. I would look at the Rally America website to get their info and then contact them about their experience running 1gb DSM’s. Most people run subaru’s or evo’s.

I’m doing the same thing on my track car. See how far the stock axles can take me before I upgrade to DSS axles. I don’t have a brand name for you but I’ve had luck with O’Reillys axles on my cars. I would trust Napa too. Check out RockAuto.com and see what selection of name brands they got.

Great man, good for you. I’m glad you are sticking with it.I didn’t comb back through your thread but how much power you looking to make?I would just call DSS and ask them what their axles can actually hold per what they are rated for and about past customer experiences with the 650HP...

If you don’t need to sell it, you should keep it. You will only regret selling it in the future. I know I would.I started tearing my car down Oct. 2008 and its now only ~85% of the way towards being a 9-second car/200 mph car.I’ve gotten married, bought a house, moved 4 times, raced all...

I know this thread is old but I thought that it was a good place to post this info. I have a 1Ga track car and I wanted to pull out some weight plus make some extra room in the engine bay for an A2W CAC. I cut out the skeleton with a cutoff wheel. Only took 2-2.5 hours. The top part of the...

Was looking into buying one for 2018. I’ve bought one every year since it started I’m pretty sure. Will there be a new one for 2018?

Thanks, I'll prob just do that.Bill

^thanks manBill

Hi,I thought that this would be the best location for this question as the people in this part of the forum probably have the most experience with this.I want to buy a metric dowel pin puller. Any suggestions on what brands are good or bad? Any suggestions on which style is best?They are...

I don't think its the cam gears as when you adjust the cam gears you loosen the small bolts/nuts, and rotate the camshaft relative to the outer belt portion of the pulley, not vice versa. The exhaust cam is only advanced 1 degree and the intake camshaft is only advanced ~2 degrees. I am...

Thanks for the replies. Some more back ground information on this is that this engine is out of a car that I bought from the guy who built the engine. I am going over there tonight so I can ask him how much was taken off the block and head, he did all the machine/build work himself. I also...

I am working on doing a timing belt for my stroker 2.3L engine for my 1g DSM. The block and head have been decked along with other machine work, I have HKS 264 cams, and adjustable cam gears. I installed the timing belt multiple times per the VFAQ and multiple searches on here. I have the...

Hi,A few questions for you.1.) What does it mean by OEM balance shaft modified on the receipt? 2.) What compression ratio are the pistons? 3.) What is on the deck of the block in that first picture? Why isn't it "mirror" clean? 4.) Any chance you have a good head to go with this block...

When you send a PM you have to click a box to have the message saved to your "sent folder"Bill

Hi,Todd, you are right that was more than two questions haha. Thanks for the answers. I see that your kits do not come with bolts that can be used with safety wire. Would you recommend this?Bill

Hi,Todd, two questions:Do these rotors and hats come preassembled in the drag kits?For the 1G rear drag kit that you have pictured above. Do you still require that the the stock caliper mounting ears be cut from the trailing arm? If so, how does the caliper bracket mount to the...

Hi,Did you look into cores that flow top to bottom? You could get a good portion of the heat loss you would see with this core and a probably a fraction of the pressure loss. I would be interested to see your pressure loss through this core. Going with the top to bottom core may also have...

Why do you need two fuses/breakers? You should just need one on the positive cable coming from the battery within 18 inches of the battery correct?Bill

Hi,Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but what ever came of this?Also, did anyone ever wiegh these components and compare them to the stock components and see what the wieght savings is?Thanks, Bill

I just wanted to add a note to this for anyone who comes across this post. I ran into this same issue and tried to use a bolt and nut instead of just a bolt by drilling it out and drilling to the other side of the trailing arm. There is enough space to do this, but when tightening the bolt I...

We need a lot more details to be able to help you.What corner is it coming from?What does it sound like?Does it change with road speed or engine speed?Bill

Paul, good write up. I just wanted to add something as I'm sure others have run into this as well. On my 1g I have come across some instances where a threaded through hole had to be drilled out and "converted" from a joint where a bolt is threaded into a piece of the subframe to a joint where...

Nice video, thanks for putting it together.Bill

I apologize for bring this thread back from the dead, but did you ever find a solution to your problem? I ran into this same problem with a manual rack install on my 1g today. I took it "apart" twice to make sure that I had the splines engaged properly. When I took it apart the second time...

Has anyone ever made aftermarket rear trailing arms for the 1G? Both mine were badly worn on the wheel bearing seal bores so they could not be used, and from what I have found Mitsubishi does not make them anymore. Hopefully I am not SOL.Bill

You need to set your base fuel pressure correctly or else you could FUBAR your engine.With your car off and the key in the ignition on position (so that your fuel pump is on and the engine is not pulling any vacuum) set the fuel pressure to 43.5 psi. You will not need to adjust this with...

Have your buddy hold the turbo by the compressor housing with the turbine housing on the bottom.Make sure they ara holding it vertical. Make sure you have all the bolts/clamps off for the turbine housing. Apply Kroil or the similar to the turbine housing to CHRA flange.Hit turbine...

It would be best to run the coolant lines, as said before is helps to gaurd against hot shutdown coking.You do not have to plug the water/coolant line ports in the center housing if you are not running the water/coolant lines.If you let it idle for a few minutes after a long or spirited...

Did you do a boost leak check after your install, this is a must? Your high idle may be because of a vacuum leak. Do you mean it takes a long time for the turbo to build boost? If so this may be because of a boost leak. Boost leak test will find both these.You want the MBC to be...
