Progress Pics of my two year build up

[Amar1995]

It has been one hell of an uphill battle, but I am getting closer and closer. It has been two years this month since I started. That is what I get for taking my own advice, "Build it right the first time." I still need a fuel system and stand alone, and of course bodywork but it is coming togeather quite nicely. I just put on the front mount I got it from DVDTfab, and the quality is excellent
Tell me what you guys think of the progress.

Very Nice!

This may have taken a long time, but if you had to choose the path to instant gratification or a slow and steady process of achievement, I bet you'd still do it the way you have. I know you've got a ton of tuning to do, but since these projects never seem to end, I applaud you for having the patience to do something like this over a two year period.

It looks great. All the best in getting her up and running!

P.S. The best part of that motor is your kitty although he/she probably doesn't make much horsepower.

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

nice man.. looks like ur doing things right.. should be fun

 

[Amar1995]

Thanks guys, I think one of the hardest parts was selling a perfectly good running truck to buy my TRE tranny WTF
I am hoping to get it up and going in the next three months, but we'll have to see. In the last pic that is my shop kitty, her name is Spooky

Here are some older pics of when I was putting in the motor.

Glad you like the kit Nick! I hadn't heard from you in some time, and was just assuming that all went well with it. Nevertheless glad to hear it worked out for you. Good luck with the project, you are definately doing your DSM the right way the first time around.

 

[Amar1995]

Thanks Albert, sorry I haven't got back to you. Your craftsmanship is top notch I was going to drop you an e-mail and talk to you about your fuel system on your GST. I think I will be doing something similar. Your new C.O.P kit looks amazing, and I think I might have to order one of those from you as well

 

[sherloc123]

looks awesome. what kind of intake mani is that?

 

[Amar1995]

It is a Magnus, I guess they don't stamp their name on them anymore. I am assuming it is to reduce production costs

and nice cat.

sad part is that I didn't even notice that cat at first glance

Looks awesome man, good job with the project.

I LOVE that intercooler BTW, beautiful end tanks that have always made the most sense to me when wanting something with excellent/non restrictive flow. I was interested in one, but I remember reading that they switched from a spearco bar and plate to a generic tube and fin, which I'm sure flows just as well, I'm just a sucker for a proven name. Kinda on the pricy side compared to the rest, but I can't imagine cast end tanks are too cheap !

Like you said, do it once, do it right

 

[badbu68]

It looks all nice and pretty and everything but the endtakes on that ic are horrable. You're pressure drop from that is huge!

Albert put some time and research into the end tanks before making the intercoolers, I think it is one of the best kits on the market.

 

[Killa_dsm]

People like you make me feel happy that I own a dsm, just to be able to see someone take so much time and so much effort to do it right! Great work!

 

[SoCalGST]

Wow, just wow... I think i just fell in love with your dsm.
you just inspired me to go all the way with mine.

Good job with the car. I was in your position just a few months ago but then I finally got it all done.

Agreed, badbu, please don't spread bs negative comments when you don't know what you are talking about.

Next time think before speaking.

Amar:

Nice buildup! Come on, you don't need a standalone.. a VPC is more than enough Good luck with the final steps.

 

[Amar1995]

Thanks for all the kind words. I can't wait to get on the street, I just need a little more time. I'll keep you guys updated as progress continues.

As far as pressure drop is concerned, I think it will be manageable at 30psi

Lookin good, especially the picture with the hairy black ####y in it.
