1G How do you think my build is going?

[J-VilleDivision]

Ok my first post on this board, I am on gateway dsm and stlsr and now here. I was looking over the site forums and i am glad i found this place it has everything.

So i have had 3 DSM's and all of them have been budget jobs that have failed, with the fastest being a 13.8 at 98. so i decided that i was sick of wasting my money and i was going to spend some real money on a real car.

So i need some opinions on my new project so far if you dont mind.

1994 Eclipse GSX

pulled the engine first thing and started work.

First i pulled all of the ABS and replaced it with non ABS.

Next i bought a new gasket kit, all my engine's bearings, timing belt, water pump and a new timing belt tensioner from NAPA.

bought some stuff from slowboy racing including,

Eagle H beam rods
.030 over Ross Pistons
balance shaft removal kit

Also bought a Master Power T4, (70 A/R Compressor 68 A/R exhaust side with p trim wheel) Might spool up late but i think it will be ok.

Sent the block to a local machine shop and had the block bored .030 over, head surface milled, and all my balance shaft bearing's pressed in upside down.

I pulled the head apart and started porting it myself (so i felt one with the engine) looking in to some different cams, springs retainers and valves. (still have some shoping to do)

Planing on running high 20lbs on this motor, just wondering what suggestions you guys might have on injector sizing, ignition components, BOV, Wastegate sizing and anyother things i might need to make this a strong running car?

Sorry for the legnth but just hoping for some nice DSM people that are willing to share some knowledge.

Thanks, Justin

PS. looking in to DSM LINK but it is kind of intimidating (But i have alot of money to spend before i get to that point)

I recently saw a copper gasket that was blown on all 4 cylinders from 15mins of run time. This was also with A1 studs.

Obviously somebody did'nt do something Right ... Beside maybe using a copper gasket without a Oring ...if it failed after that much time I would hay to say that who ever installed the head did not Re-Torque. the head ...
With at least the ICS gasket You are NOT supose to put a load on the motor untill after your first heat Cycle and ReTorque

[Eclipse37]

Looks great can't wait til I can do my re-build.

 

[sleeping95gsx]

The build is looking great. You should be able to run more boost with the way your set up is going..but I havent heard to much on the copper head gaskets. Keep us updated!

 

[dsmproject1]

clean build, keep up the good work!

 

[gnen1st]

[N1te]

Can't wait to see your car in action!

the advice i have for you if you're planning on doing all this is:

1000cc injectors, dsmlink, tune, tial 38mm wastegate, .50 AR turbo (atleast), 3" turbo back exhaust, s-afc, obviously you're gonna need a turbo timer (i've got a blitz FATT DC IV turbo timer and i like it a lot), a boost controller, and that's about it that i can think of. good luck with it i just re-built the motor in mine so i know what you're goin through...good luck man

 

[DSMsOwnYourV8]

Looks good, when you do decide to build the tranny, I would recommend Jackstransmissions.com

 

[J-VilleDivision]

Nice to have friends with Loads of Mustang parts laying around.

75mm Throttle body. Now all i need is a intake manifold to bolt it on....
