  2. The 14b Drag Race Discussion Thread

    Congratulations!!! That is very impressive. I assume it is still loaded with all of the accessories? I bet most folks don't see that coming at all. :DFirst congrats on your new times. :thumb: I find small turbos very interesting and have done some stuff with both large (88 T4 - 106mm T6)...
  3. Trboblu survives hot rod drag week!

    Congratulations!!! I saw the car in line at St Louis and was wondering who it belonged to. :hellyeah:
  4. Force Engineering Wins SAT with the F3SA turbo!

    If not a transbrake then some type of button to something. Watch his hand come up right before he launches. I have run a good many transbrakes in my cars over the years and release the button the same way. Could be something locking the brakes down, I don't know but it sure looks like a button...
  5. PTE6262 new personal best!!!

    Congrats!!! That is impressive indeed. Hope you get your low 10 or 9 soon. Keep us posted. :D
  6. A must read for Precision users.

    I know not many of you turds go over there so I thought I would post this up for you to check out. It doesn't matter what side of the fence you are on, this is a informative read - Garrett Turbochargers and the Truth - Yellow Bullet Forums My username there is Big Geek for any of you that are...
  7. Knock Sensor Newb.

    A NAPA unit should be fine. What kind of knock sensor issue are you experiencing? :D
  8. Short Write-Up (Idle Recovery Issue Resolved 1G Auto)

    Having owned and tuned various cars (8, 9, 10 second cars; etc.) one of the few things I have learned is that if not all is right mechanically changes in the tuning software only mask issues or lead one off in the wrong direction. Being new to the DSM world I am always finding new things to...
  9. New Stock Block Record

    :hellyeah: The type of attitude you describe is the reason allot of folks just don't bother posting results up for fear of getting sucked into forum bullsh!t. Seems like the most vocal critics on forums are usually the ones with the slowest rides. INTERNET ENGINEERING at its finest. I have full...
  10. Knock Sensor Newb.

    If a code is displayed it should be stored in the DTC display even if it the "check engine" light has gone out so long as you haven't cleared the DTC's from what I can tell. If memory serves me right, on my daughters car the "check engine" light can on then went out. However, when I pulled up...
  11. Knock Sensor Newb.

    Glad to help. :D“Phantom knock” can be caused by a multitude of things. I have run into this on Grand Nationals and LS1 cars (Not as much with LS based cars. I work on them ALLOT.). It is a situation where the knock sensor is picking up a frequency that it believes to be pre/post...
  12. DTC code not showing

    First thing I would do is pull the knock sensor out and visually check it. Make sure all is well with it physically. Second, clean the threads put a dab of Locktite on it and put it back in hand tight. Once that is complete use a wrench to give it a nudge. Don't over tighten it as it will cause...
  13. Knock Sensor Newb.

    Just a short knock sensor write up for us newbs - Everyday I am learning new and interesting stuff about these cars. Most recently, I discovered that I was picking up what appeared to be a good deal of "knock" even on start-up. At first I attributed this to the installation of the poly motor...
  14. ECMlink Running FIC 950cc injectors like stock 450cc injectors with DSMLink v2.5

    An excellent read. Having tuned engines using FAST, Big Stuff, HPTuners, EFI Live and now ECM Link. I have to say that article is probably the best one for the layman I have read thus far. Thank you to the authors. :D
  15. Holset Users / Wastegate Question.

    How many of ya'll are using the stock Holset wastegate on your turbos? :D
  16. FWD Automatic Limited Slip Unit Question

    I have an IPT built FWD AUTOMATIC transmission that I need to add a limited slip unit to. Would this one work? - DSM Graveyard - Your #1 Source for DSM Parts!I don't know if there is any difference between the automatic units and the manual units. Thank you for any help in advance.
  17. Post up your non DSM hot rods.

    What other hot rods do you have besides your DSM? Post up some pics and show em off. :D
  18. A DSM Kinda Christmas

    We have been there and done that.Yes, she is sticking with the auto. It is from IPT trans. Once she gets some break in miles on it we will be putting either the 5557R or the HY35 on it with the EPT intercooler and a 3-inch exhaust. I already have a set of drag radials for it as well. I plan...
  19. ever compare DSMs against "supercars"?

    Ahhh, but remember the saying - "A gentleman may do most anything so long as he does so with style." The car doesn't make the man, it's the other way around. :DPrime example as nothing could help this kid -AND actually know what all the parts are and how to fix them. I don't...
  20. Spec clutch failed after only 5 months

    That is kind of concerning as I primarly use SPEC on all of the LS1 6-speed and 5-speed Mustangs I work on. Having said that I know that if you don't follow the instructions you can and WILL have problems. Some of the cars mentioned above are producing more that 900 ft. lbs of tq. at the wheels...
  21. ever compare DSMs against "supercars"?

    A dollar value vs. performance comparison it would be interesting. :D
  22. A DSM Kinda Christmas

    LOL, lotsa funny replies. If I hit the lotto I will let those of you wanting to be adopted know so I can hook a brotha up. :D The car was not ready on Christmas day as she is helping spin wrenches on it so I didn't want Lenny (Bro) doing most of it. She works part time at a parts store and...
  23. AWD Autos

    91 Talon AWD Auto, stock block n trans, big 16g, 550cc inj, Precision intercooler, 3G MAF, DSM Link. :D
  24. A DSM Kinda Christmas

    That time of year is here again and I think I did a pretty good job from what I can tell. This year my baby girl (daughter) got some DSM goodies. A little background first – when she graduated from high school we bought her a 07 BMW. She didn’t seem all that excited. When I asked her why she...

  28. Project Superman: '90 Talon - building my first drag race car

    Wow, good stuff. It seems to really come alive around 6k. :hellyeah:
  30. Failed Tial wastegate springs

    In my experience it is highly unlikely that the vendor is going to own up to any wrong doing even if they are deliberately and knowingly passing stuff off as the real deal but again this is ONLY MY EXPERIENCE.I would suggest sending the entire unit to Tial and let them decide if you have...
  31. Failed Tial wastegate springs

    This isn't a new issue. I have read of similar problems with fake Tial units. You won't have a problem out of the real deal. I have used them for years and never had a problem any Tial unit even at over 900 RWHP. I have a brand new Tial 38mm unit in the box. Let me know if you would like...
  32. Talondave: Batmowheel Hx40 goes 9s!!!

    Dave, BIG congratulations to you and Justin on your 9-second pass. Keep it coming!!! :D
  33. 16yr. old wins in DSM.......!

    Congrats!!! If more parents took the time to get their kids involved in something that would keep them closer together their would probably be allot less teenage problems such as underage preg., the drugs, etc. Great job looking out Pops and to your son - Keep putting em on the trailer...
  34. Comp 6465 Turbo spins and spins.

    Just saw the most recent stuff on this thread. I am sorry to hear about your car but am happy that you weren't seriously hurt. Good luck on your new swap and keep us posted. :D
  35. new PB 1/8 plus some carnage

    Jesse, have you thought about cryogenically treating them? I have had great luck with valve train and drive train parts doing so. This is a good company to deal with if you decide to try it out - http://www.300below.com/ I actually got the idea from the "Professor" himself Warren Johnson while...
  36. 8's or Bust!

    WOW!!! Coming from a world of turbocharged, blown and fogged Grand Nationals, Mustangs and LS1's I am ALWAYS amazed at the engineering the DSM crowd puts into these cars. That looks great. I have a few questions but will have to post them later. :D
  37. 8's or Bust!

    Mechanical pump? That's interesting, I didn't realize the Mitsu guys ran em. Would love to see pics sometime if ya feel like posting some. Good luck with your problem. I hope it isn't anything too serious/exspensive. Please keep us posted. Take care. :D
  38. 8's or Bust!

    Moran's 160's are BAD ASS. Snatched out the Big Stuff do to customer service and installed a FAST. Used the 160's in a Turbo LS (Stroked 6.0 408 c.i. LS based motor using a GT4788. 920 at the wheels through a TH400 and J.W. convertor on a set of STOCK 6.0 heads using comp springs lock n...
  39. 8's or Bust!

    The fact that you only melted one piston is of concern to me. I would be looking into the fuel system as well. It could be that there was an injector malfunction or fuel . Usually when you have an issue that is timing related it tends to get more than just one piston unless you are just...
  40. new auto awd record

    Have you tried a progressive unit such as an FJO? It would allow you to taylor the shot (N2O) to what you want on the low end as well as the top.
  41. new best 11.1@132@shootout

    Hey slim, since others just cant seem to simply say congratulations let me be one of the first to. CONGRATS!!! Great job. :hellyeah:

  43. Antilag racing 2011 shootout experience

    Congratulations on the new time!!! :hellyeah:
  44. Talondave, sets new Holset 1/4mile Trap speed record!!!

    Damn, I was hoping, as I'm sure everyone was, that he was going to get that 9-sec slip. Glad to hear about the comradery. That's a class act!!! Hopefully soon Dave. Congrats on the new E.T. :hellyeah:
  45. Shep is back... again!

    Awesome, that answered allot of my questions. Thanks for the pic. :D

  47. Comp 6465 Turbo spins and spins.

    WOW at some of the bullshit, internet engineers and haters. To the O.P. I say good on ya. If you enjoy it and it makes you happy thats all that matters. Keep doin' your thing. I particularly enjoyed your writeup from last year on the cams. Good luck to you and keep us posted. :hellyeah:
  48. Shep is back... again!

    8.8 unit maybe... It would have to be something that offers a 3.55 gear (8.8, 9in, Dana 60, 8.5, 12-bolt...) who know other than John? Point is that it is a solid axle if I understand ya'll correctly. That explains some things. As for the cage I would imagine they had to cut the lid off to get...
  49. Shep is back... again!

    Is he running a solid axle in the rear? I thought I could barely make out some type of solid axle anti-roll bar back there. If not anyone know what it is? Thanks.
  50. Precision 62 journal bearing or Holset HX40?

    I would tell you to call Precision and see about fixing/upgrading it but after the way I was treated yesterday despite being a customer of 15 years and having run more than 3 dozen of their turbos on my various cars and customers cars I say take your business else where. When Harry was more...
