What did you do to your DSM today?

[Archer Fabrications]

Twistys ftw!!

 

[Blurred Talon]

Polished up my new Tial 50mm BOV.

 

[WES_393]

Finally cut the massive fart can off my Talon. I now have nothing but 3" pipe.

I would have made a vband muffler! So if you want ut quiet you can.

Video or it didnt happen.

 

[Breezio69]

Went over to the pops house. Double checked my fuel pressure with my new gauge on the afpr, recalibrated my wideband, turned the boost up to 17psi, spent an hour logging and tuning. Afr 14.5-14.9 cruising, 10.9-11.2 wot.

One happy camper

I did notice when I'd let off and drop it down to idle from in boost she went down and almost wanted to die, afr went to 10's idle like 400... *checked my recirc, wasn't loose or leaking, anything else to check? Is that vac related?

That wouldn't be a bad idea, but I just have a cheap old MIG and my skills are mediocre at best. It's really not that loud to me though, so I doubt I'd even use the muffler.

The rev was the best part..I like it alot.

It sounds even better in action too. It's mean as hell when boost hits and it doesn't get all whiney or sound messy at high RPM like most 4-bangers. It has a throaty exhaust note when cruising (kind of like a Scooby) and you can constantly hear the Holset whistling away. Love it.

Maybe I'll take some driving videos later and post them up.

 

[Cdc1221]

Very nice wes. Love that spool down from that h1e! Cannot wait to get mine back together. Got my exhaust ports polished to a glass smooth finish, and starting on my hx35 comp cover

That sounds badass!

 

[Cdc1221]

Got my head reassembled and sitting on the block. Have to start pulling the old motor soon, maybe today

 

[iaintmaci]

Spent a bunch of time getting my tune right. Had to fight a bunch of knock, but I believe it is all squared away now.

 

[slickers111]

Today, the car is getting,
Center console installed,
Oil pressure wires(from harness) installed,
New home made banjo bolt for turbo feed put in,
Beautiful synthetic put in,
valve cover gasket put on,
some vac lines put on. As soon as I find out where the hell they go.

It will be close to its first start with the new motor. Yayy!

 

[Cox Abele]

Pulled it out of the garage for the first time since a major overhaul that started in July '12.

Soooooo sexy.

Soooooo sexy.

AWD, auto swap, 20g, poly throughout, spotless interior, immaculate engine bay..... if you could want anything of a Spyder, it's got it.

But will it blend?

 

[Cox Abele]

Sadly, it will not blend. However, it will CarPC w/ HUD EvoScan Gauges and 3" turbo-back. If you act now, we'll throw in 22 boosts for free, all you do is pay shipping, handling is already covered.

 

[nitewolf26]

Did a compression test. 145 135 130 145

 

[curt-s]

Found I have no traction in 1st, 2nd above 3.5k, or 3rd about 4.5k on this 14b which is somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-14lbs via mbc. That should only put me just north of 200bhp...

Methinks I need new rear springs... but over 600km on the motor and it's solid. Hasn't grenaded yet!

 

[99ECLIPSEGSXDSM]

Dropped the transmission of at sheps

 

[Archer Fabrications]

^ you will NOT be disapointed. Which stage you goin for?


I gotta remove turbo AGAIN to fix the same compressor
Leak that "right stuff" didn't cover. Bummer. On the bright side I'm freshening up the oil drain with new AN fittings.

 

[Cdc1221]

Got my old engine out. Just waiting for cash flow to finish up this build. Urban, how are you doing your oil drain? I'm holding off on the oil pan til I figure it out. Its a n/t pan, so I need to drill a hole and weld a fitting to it

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I welded mine on the turbo oil pan same spot filled the bolt holes. I'm doing it as per my instructions google "hx40 install dsm" i used a -12AN 45* and 60* but i just bought two of each to see if i can make a smoother transition.
