Justin had it made, but any signs and decal place can make it.

My wife did the video on her phone, that was some guy behind her.

Yup no auto for me, i'll run 9.0s for the rest of my life before I go auto. not dissing autos, their just not for me, I love to bang gears!

Wow 2297 lbs . Thats crazy .

Big secret if you highlight below....

Holset's font is "Pepsi". The guy who does my decals made it in literally 30 seconds by typing "Holset" in caps and outlining it.

I've been waiting sense February for mine!

Dave I'm gonna be trailing behind you shortly after some new injectors are in! 2g hx 40 record ftw!

Your truly an inspiration to kick ass

 

[CrackedDSM]

Wow I remember how the haters were saying with the holsets,big numbers but slow cars! Where are the haters now!!!! Not bad for a turbo that costs under 600.00 cash! Here comes 8's!

They are still around, but who cares? They don't have a leg to stand on, they never did before and they really don't now. The thing that's funny to me, is that these people that talked all this shit on holsets...including MAJOR vendors for the DSM scene...are now selling housings for Holsets and a different vendor is actually actively selling rebuilt/modified holsets. That's the ultimate revenge, to be forced to sell parts for a turbo you talked shit about from day one and called "junk".



Keep kicking ass Dave, and Jusmx turbos FTW!

Not to jump in as a hater, but just to state that any dsm that ways ~2300 lbs and is built to the point Dave's car is SHOULD be running in the 9's with a large frame turbo. (built motor, dog box trans, caged, etc)

This post is in NO MEANS to take away from what was accomplished, I'm just stating that this is a race car, and should go 9's with any turbo that flows ~70 lbs/min, (hx40, gt35r/6262 and there variances [hta, EFR series, etc.], regaurdless if it's a Holset or not.

Again, congrats to all involved on the single digit pass!

Totally understandable, I'm just proving that holsets are bad ass when equipped to a good setup! Also you don't need to spend shit tons of money on a name brand turbo!

For the most part I agree, and I'm definitely not being one of the rabid argumentative toolbags, but 100lbs is only .1 in the 1/4 mile. Your average DSM is 2700-2900lbs(1G's at least). So the same car with the same turbo setup etc would still only be .4-.6 off Dave's time. 9.6 to 9.8's with much more seat time, boost, and etc to go is very impressive especially considering those saying the only reason Dave went so fast last time was because of the batmowheel. That's how I look at it at least.

Right, but until now nobody would believe a Holset could do it because results weren't there and shops don't want to touch them. This is the furthest thing from a shop car.

People will argue they're slow, unreliable, and have picky oiling....well the first claim has obviously been covered, and I haven't done shit to this turbo in the past three years minus two months and maybe six or eight track passes where the BatMoWheel turbo was on the car. Still no shaft play, no broken turbine shafts- it's been rebuilt one time since it was purchased at the end of the first season after Dave's oil pump failed and sent some aluminum from the housing directly into the turbo, and that was only precautionary. Based on those results, anyone who has repeated problems with their Holset is definitely doing something wrong.

I have a total of $435 in the turbo including the purchase of the turbo itself and the BEP housing. Compare that to a journal bearing PTE's which begin around $900, or some of the ball bearing turbos from PTE and other vendors which can exceed $2000.

Something everyone needs to keep in mind- this is still a 60mm turbo. Take a look at the 1/4 mile times listed on this site and see that everyone above Dave has at least a 67mm compressor inducer with a handful even in the 70's. Needless to say, I'm quite excited to see 8's out of this turbo despite Dave only running a 9-second pass two times. Who else just skips right over 9's like that?

 

[black97spyder]

How much does the 300m tcase run?? That's what I'm looking at for a future upgrade .

Tried boostin performance's site but didn't see anything about the tcase's in the services section.

Well the Infamous Green 4g63 S2000 did...but still ;-) ..haha ...

I'd also like to see 160 MPH on the HX40 ... but another 6 MPH is asking A LOT at these speeds... we shall see ...

8's are a good 60 foot away...

I want a 160mph just as bad as a 8s pass, but yeah definitely gonna be a tough one for that! Just sucks I picked up so much more speed in the 1/8th but only 3mph in the 1/4 with being almost 500lbs lighter. Time for some aerodynamics done to the car... my mirror deletes are on their way, next payday ill order the front bumper shutters. Going to frontline this weekend to make some rear defusers for the bumper!

Ceramic wheel bearings.....

Ceramic wheel bearings.....

Aren't those expensive as hell?

 

[LandSpeed-DSM]

Aren't those expensive as hell?

Yes:
Ceramic Bearing

I'm thinking about going that route only if I have run out of other options looking for more speed. Full set of 4 cost more than when I bought this chassis, and it was running
