that technique is actually not new. but is mainly a N/A motor technique used on larger displacement v8's. the idea around it is to cause turbulence inside the combustion chamber. increasing potential horsepower and decreasing fuel consumption. granted its usually only good for an additional 5 horse ponies. it would be better to keep the cash used to pay for the machiunst time and buy a team albee racing sticker for the rear quarter window.
 
Man kris is like a giant bundle of knowledge that is just waiting to be tapped into
 
taken from a cylinder head article

Some head specialists also modify the quench zones of the cylinder head's combustion chamber. The quench zones are the flat areas of the cylinder head where the piston comes in close proximity to TDC. Pentroof DOHC cylinder heads typically have four quench zones at the ends of the combustion chamber. Quench zones promote more complete burning and reduce the likeliness of detonation by increasing turbulence of the fuel air mixture as the piston comes to TDC by squishing the fuel air mixture toward the sparkplug and away from the end zones of the combustion chamber. This reduces the amount of fuel-air mixture near the ends of the combustion chamber where it does not completely burn (thus being wasted) by pushing or squishing it toward the centrally located sparkplug where it can easily be ignited. When heads have additional quench area, they normally need less timing advance to make power. Thus a skillful tuner can tune the engine to be further from the detonation threshold, making the engine more reliable.

what good is thinning out the inner valve surfaces. wont this lower compression by increasing volume. wont this also make the valve less reliable and more prone to faliure. also that part of the valve doesn't effect the flow any?
 
what do yall expect, the guy isnt even from america, i guess thats how it is way over there in europe. what a waste though, but if it makes him happy than so be it. honestly im suprised it didnt have big dual canister mufflers and neons, and a crazy sound system with tv's everywhere.
 
Well damn Mike how can anyone think that would be the proper way to put an engine together :banghead:
 
because from an idiots perspective it seems like its a built car, even though he chose stupid things to changes and the wrong choices, this guy prob thinks he's the shit right now but has no idea hundreds of people are LOL'ing at im from a distance. Not everyone can have all the best stuff, thats what makes the real nice Built DSM's unique. its guys like this that make us look better.
 
dsm's reputation is already shot. even people who like imports immediatly think " cheap broken POS that is on jackstands over 50% of ownership "

there is no repairing that, 20 years of idiots owning these cars, throwing money at every thing that isnt maintenance and then attempting to double and triple stock horse power with cheap replications of good parts. The only people who even look at dsm's any more probably own one.

While this guy is nothing more than ignorant, some of his methods are tried and true. except the giant grinding wheel on the head... that made me cringe.

as far as some one commenting on the compression, i dont think he cares how low it is, the compression is going to be lower than a stock 1g, look at the dish on those pistons.

all in all. the guy did a many of things right and at the same time halfway through the correct methods he cut corners, typical dsmer in my opinion.

...speaking of an outsiders perspective. I parked my car in the front at work today and my boss came out while I was backing up into the spot. Of course the twin disk makes a lot of noise so the first thing he said was, "can I expect you to make it to work everyday this week? it sounds like the motors about to fall apart."

I wanted to respond "Yea, you're right. It sounds like the bearings are falling out, you should give me the rest of the week off to fix it." :idontknow:

Kris, those grooves in the head to create turbulance in the CC might be an old skool method but I still think doing it would blow the headgasket. It might not be where it contacts the head but its DAMN close and ol' boy used a file to do it, no engineering to it. If that eBay turbo would last for a run at the track he'd hit about 30psi and KKAAABBOOOOMMMM!!! coolant down the side of the block.

Lets try it to your head and we'll see how long the HG lasts, I'll even pitch the cash for Hopsing to engineer the grooves.

Hey Corey who snapped those pics of my car that u showed me? And where did u get them? Just curious because they were taken with a really good camera
 
YAY my suspension is in my living room... just emailed Russ for final answers to some of my questions, and will be looking into when i can possibly install my stuff....

Just need to swing by Kris's when hes not there so i can steal my jack stands back
 
On a side note Corey, dsmnation on fb is using your picture as a profile picture :thumb:

Oh and Chris...pictures...now :|
 
Here are some

The rest

As per prior post, have to steal back my jack stands before i can even think of installing... and not sure when i will be doing the install but would like to get it done sooner then later since i will also be switching to Hawk Pads all the way around

Its a 2g so I believe so unless I'm mistaken
