I thought you were supposed get your converter last week. What's up with that?

 

[11secDSM]

I'm not going to get into that just yet. But on a brighter note, I ordered this today...

I have turbo envy! Can't wait to see your car next year, awesome stuff!

 

[11secDSM]

Thanks Ian!

Good news is the converter is getting over nighted to me. Turbo should be here Friday! And some more goodies showed up today.

Still waiting on the converter so I decided to mod the stock pick up before resealing the pan. Hopefully this converter shows up in the next few days.

How does that help exactly?

 

[11secDSM]

It moves the oil pick up point to the rear of the pick up tube. That way during a launch or hard acceleration, it is only sucking oil from the rear of the pan and helps with not sucking up any air. This helps promote oil pump life as well as bearing life.

 

[turboaddict21]

Plans for more runs this year? Also, could you pm what they charge for the oil pickup mod?

 

[11secDSM]

Sure hope so! I should have the turbo and converter all this week so I should be able to do a quick retune and hit the track by next week.

The mod is $50 plus return shipping if you send in your pick up. Or they can supply a new one for $45 extra.

What turbo is that?

 

[turboaddict21]

Good stuff Chris! Look forward to watching it put down some times! And thanks for the pricing!

What turbo is that?

The new one is a Forced Performance HTZ Super99. Same one Kevin Jewer and Devin Schultz run.

That turbo is sick! I'm jealous!

 

[11secDSM]

Things are starting to come together! The Bradco converter showed up today, new trans pump from Metro Trans should be here tomorrow, and the turbo from FP should be here Friday! Hoping to hit the track next week.

I'd say that converter was ballooned!

 

[Boosted6]

Wow, that's for sure!!

 

[11secDSM]

Roughly a 1/4"! Can't wait to get the new converter out on the track! Not to mention the new turbo! Very excited!

8s or bust!

Im looking to run at mitsubishi vs sti coming up at etown. Hopefully we can both link up there.

 

[11secDSM]

I'll definitely be there...not sure if the car will be though.

 

[11secDSM]

This little guy showed up today from the guys at Forced Performance!

 

[1qkfwd]

That things a beauty!!!!

 

[11secDSM]

Lots of progress....converter, trans, new turbo, and chute are all in. Need to make a new exhaust since I sold the old one along with the 6766 and then hopefully do a little retuning for the new turbo some time early this week! Depending on how testing goes this week might even consider running at World Cup Finals!

 

[illegal99si]

I hope to see the car run at world cup finals if ya make it down.

 

[11secDSM]

I'm hoping we can take the car as well. I originally wanted to go and just spectate but i'm real gung ho about racing it now.

 

[fun kart kid]

Its really sweet to get to see dsms race at the world cup I hope I see you there

 

[black97spyder]
