Hey man how did the 3000gt slave work out? I recently purchased the smaller bore “grey” slave hoping it improves my clutch disengagement, BEAUTIFUL car by the way

Thank you, the 3000gt slave worked perfectly with an oem master. I swapped back to an oem slave cylinder because of the Wilwood. If I get bored, I might install the 3000gt slave to see if I can tell a difference.

That’s awesome, I’m swapping mine on today hoping for similar results

Took the dsm to its first official car show and won the Top 50 award.

 

[1cleangsx]

Congrats!! That’s awesome

Finally got the tune done by Dave Katz. Very pleased with the outcome from EFI Specialties. 440whp/ 347 tq @ 24 psi. Now to add a few trim panels and she is done for now.

Very Nice! That thing will be a blast on the street, you’ve got a very nice well rounded car sir

Nice powerband, and congratulations on the Top 50 award. Ol' girl is doing you well, or rather, you are doing good by her. Well done.

So after the Dyno session, I have been having issues with the MTX-L displaying an ERR-8 code. It looks as if my wideband has burned out. Scooped up another one with the HBX thermal heat sink. Hopefully this fixes my issues although this bung is pretty expensive. If not I have some copper material to make an O2 sensor heat shield.

Small update with more to come:
So my first time at the shootout was epic, it just felt good to see multiple Dsm’s all over the place. Upon looking at some clean builds, I decided to make a few changes in preparation for next year.
First I assembled a new, cleaner harness mainly because I plan to get Link G4 in the future. I incorporated all my auxiliary gauges into the harness to make everything more compact. I actually made it longer so I could route it under the intake manifold.

Next on the list is I’m moving up from the HTA 76 to an FP DSM82. I sent off my FP housing to Morrison Fab for some much needed rehab. I also decided to invest in their FP30 O2 housing /dump tube combo. The skillset they possess is bar none, the pieces are so well made it’s unbelievable. I also decided to upgrade to titanium exhaust hardware and recoat the FP manifold . I’m still waiting on a few pieces before the turbo install, but I’m debating on sending the HTA82 out for a refresh. I did find a trick vibrant swivel fitting that should make my turbo coolant lines more simple.

I also change my wheel setup to a more subtle look. I found a good deal on some barely used 18x9 Cosmis XTR-006. That’s it for now but future updates include a Prius EPAS system, dual 340 fuel pumps and fixing some minor leaks. Until next time

 

[92AWDHX40]

Yes updates whoo hoo been waiting man

That's sweet I'm really excited about your dsm and meeting and networking with you. Thanks for the help well have to have some fun in Ohio in September.

I’m assuming you mean the good’ole dsm82? What a classic, one of my absolute favorite turbos, spooled as fast as my prior fp red, but with 35r potential , and yes God Bless the Morrison’s, when I needed a dump tube for my 44mm mvr, Matt asked for a couple pics of the set up and shipped me one in less than 2 weeks despite being busy

Update:
Despite the unfavorable weather conditions, I utilized the opportunity to make progress on my project. Initially, I focused on installing and testing the new harness. Upon establishing a connection with Ecmlink, I successfully verified connectivity with all sensors and confirmed that there were no error codes present.
Subsequently, I proceeded to assemble the FP DSM82, a task that I had been eagerly anticipating. This involved integrating the various components, including the Morrison Fab pieces, to create a comprehensive system. As part of this process, I replaced all existing hardware, coolant hoses, and intercooler clamps, ensuring that every aspect of the assembly was meticulously attended to. Finally, I installed all components to the FP manifold.

Everthing looks good i dont know much about the turbo its a good exhaust from morrioson, i was gonna have a downpipe built. Later since i have something that was built here. Nice work man.

The subsequent phase of the project involved the assembly of a dual 340lph fuel pump setup, which was carefully designed and executed to ensure optimal performance and reliability. The components utilized for this configuration included:
• Aeromotive 340LPH fuel pumps, selected for their high flow rate and durability
• Radium Engineering Bulkhead stud kit, providing a secure and reliable mounting solution
• 90-degree 8an to 5/16 barb bulkhead, facilitating a streamlined and efficient fuel flow
• Racetronix dual fuel pump manifold with 6an orb barb, designed to effectively manage the fuel supply
• Radium Engineering pressure switch, which enables the activation of the secondary pump at a predetermined pressure threshold
• 12-gauge wiring, ensuring a robust and reliable electrical connection
The system is configured such that the secondary pump is activated through the pressure switch at a pressure of 5 psi, providing an additional boost to the fuel supply when required. A critical consideration in the design of this system is the requirement to connect the pressure switch to its own dedicated relay, which is essential for ensuring proper function and preventing potential issues with the electrical circuit. I did have to swap to smaller stainless filters.
I plan to redo my exhaust , so I have some vibrant components on order, mainly mufflers and resonators. In the meantime I will finally start the layout of the EPAS system.

I like the way its all set up and plenty of fuel.

 

[1cleangsx]

Very Nice! That turbo will be a BLAST

Looks great! Your engine bay is "goals" as the kids would say.

Any particular reason you went with the dual pump setup instead of one larger pump like a Walbro 525 with a PWM controller?

Honestly no matter what I did it seems my wiring was getting too hot. Mind you I have upgraded everything , heavy gauge wiring, solid state relay etc. My tuner stated he doesn’t recommend those pumps without a PWM. I had all the components laying around for the dual setup, so I said why not. Also I feel better knowing I have a spare pump available in case my primary pump fails.

 

[92AWDHX40]

What is a pwm.

 

[Capt Obvious]

Pulse width modulation. It's how you control the brightness of LEDs and motor speed on brushless motors or other digital electronics.

Traditionally, you'd just turn down the voltage to make it dimmer/slower; with PWM you're essentially turning it off and on super fast to get the desired result.

Another question as I’m also newly hearing about this PWM. Could you/would you/should you use one on a dual 350 setup? Why does the single 525 require one?
