OK well i have been collecting parts for a year. Originally i was going to install this all in my 92 auto AWD. Things change and i have decided to invest my parts in my 92 FWD 5-speed. I have owned this car 6 years and it has a large part of my heart. This build is going for 1/4 mile track use as it has served well as a daily driver. If anyone has ideas about traction then i am all ears this is going to be a ride 9.50s or bust.

The head was from the last build i did along with the turbo setup. I have rough ported the head and need only to final port with some sand rolls. It was already 5 angle valve jobed and had 1mm oversize valves witch i bought a new set for this build. I also purchased a set of FP4R cams and will be looking into FP springs soon as it is almost time for the head to go to the machine shop.

The turbo is a BW S258 with a .55 bolt on housing with a punishment 3in v-band O2 housing. THe manifold is a XSpower with the external wastegate flange and a knockoff 40mm hks gate. All this stuff was previously used on my last build and is tried and true up to 43psi.

The intercooler is a old AMS kit with a tial i love this intercooler as it has curved end tanks to direct airflow to the inlet and outlet.

Bottom end consists of JE 9.0cr .020 pistons and R&R aluminium rods witch by the way are magnus rods and are made about 45min from me. Funny thing about these rod that no one ever told me was the main cap girdle on the 6-bolt have to be machined to clear these massive rods and the are tightened down with ARP L19 rod bolts.

I have DsmLink V3 SD setup ready to go with a set of FIC 950cc injectors. The injectors are one thing i mite consider changing as i was maxing them out at 38-39 psi on my old setup. I am not to worried as i am going to spray the car in the top end with a NOS direct port kit.


Transmission wise i will be running a stock rebuilt FWD unit for now with some strange LSD I got from a person on here. and a ACT 2100 with a 4 puck disk. This is all temporary for only this year.
 
Why not just drop a couple hundred pounds and ditch the DSM

If that's not an option and you want to keep the DSM, you might start thinking about swapping in a built AWD transmission. Weld the center diff and run it as a FWD unit. The gears are stronger and should hold together much better. Obviously if you're going for 9's, you'll want slicks. Other than that, it looks like you probably have things handled.
 
Ya moving to a different car is not happening I have a AUTO AWD sitting here to. I do plan on a AWD 5-speed trans next year along with some crazy strong axles. I am looking at some 26x8 slicks but not sure of backspacing or if they are even big enough for my application.
 
Ya 13.1 at 117mph spinning till 90mph on street tires and 20psi. Looks like i am going to go AWD next year with a ford 8.8 rear end and ladder bar suspension. I have also switched to a ITS GT-61 turbo. It rated at 70lbs/min so should be a nice upgrade.
