What did you do to your DSM today?

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Great tuner
I've worked with him too. It feels great, doesn't it?

 

[CrackedDSM]

The Talon has been on E85 for like 5 tanks now, but I finally got around to converting it to Flex-Fuel using ECMLink and their adapter/sensor today.


Has been awesome. Was super easy to install and setup, and it's running like a champ now. Forgot how easy cold-starts are on gasoline vs E85. Lol.

Made custom cluster frame gauge holder, instead of buy 70€ piece of plastic.
And it ended fantastic - angle and position better than i expexted, when i sit, gauge is exactly pointed to my face and with oil pressure gauge both outside lines are “touching”, so i see everything. But position of the lower gauge is behind turn signal lever but it is acceptable, i see all from 70°C

Put the JXB carrier bearing bushings on my 2g today. Took it for a ride and realized I bypassed the boost controller.....whoops. It's incredible how much movement the stock carrier bushings allow vs. even the street rated JXB inserts.

those look great!

 

[CrackedDSM]

Compression tested it with a (borrowed) Snap-On compression tester to compare to my chinesium Amazon $20 special.

Amazon special? Said 100 across the board.

Snap-On? 145-150-150-150. Nice. So the amazon special sucks like I thought.


Anyway, that's apparently great for a stock 1G bottom end. So now I have to figure out why I'm only trapping 108mph on 24lbs on an FP Green on E85, when I should be around 115. I posted a log in my build thread if anyone wants to pop in there and drop some knowledge on me. (Don't reply here, keep it clutter free!)

 

[cswindel]

Well got it pretty much street tuned with the wonderful help of Mr Kevin jewer. Went to the shop down the road today to get an alignment and when I got my car back I saw the CEL on. Thought it was just the temp reading kicking it on (once it hits 223F it comes on) but it didnt go away. Pulled a DTC scan and came up with 0202 cylinder 2 sooooo more troubleshooting? Or time to upgrade injectors

Electric company turned the power off for 4 hours this morning so they could do storm damage repairs in the neighborhood...Since im work from home today and starting vacation on Monday, i took apart the passenger side of the rear end. The bolts for the upper knuckle bushing on both sides are seized to the inner bushing sleeves causing the bolt twist with the bushing so i ended up cutting through it. Just gotta figure out how to disconnect the parking brake line and I can take the whole knuckle out.

Its pretty self explanatory once you're in there. I did bushings about 9 mos ago.

Ill get a better look at it this evening. I was working without lights since no power, so i was trying to see it while staring into a bright window in the background . I didnt think they were that bad but now that ive gotten a better look at the bushing yesterday, they are in terrible condition. Theyre probably originals, so dont know why I wouldve thought that.

Yeah mine were so bad they had separated and the knuckle was clunking.

Well......
I have a "problem"......it's an addiction.......
I got ANOTHER ONE
It was a drag build that didn't happen with a 2.3 short block. Idk why I bought it, but here it is, no Name yet. (Ole Silver,?)
Its a 1992 auto car, 4 bolt. Looks like they were going to 5 speed swap it. Has the auto rear still in it and I got a 5 speed rear subframe with the deal. He thru in some extras, so thanks A LOT Kyle!!!.
I really have no idea what I got but I will look at it all tomorrow. I know the front end is INSIDE the car, fenders, bumper cover etc.
Thanks, if your watching, I'll start it's own thread when I figure out what to call it

Finally got my rotating assembly out

 

[ty4g63t]

I put a 350 walboro in, switched to the boosted fab motor mounts and insatlled the fp red uhf and the gorgeous o2 and dump tube from morrison fab(guy knows how to make art) and the tial external waste gate. The spring chart i got off line said blk and blue spring would be around 17lbs. I got on second a lil wanted to hear the wastegate thought 17lb spring str8 from turbo would keep it at 17lbs?! But it jumped to 23 haha it was fun and sounded great but ill have to change the springs to a lil lower dont want the temptation while got another 200 miles of breaking in the clutch though i do accept that maybe i hooked it up wrong

All his neighbors have fields full of cows, but Marty is a rare DSM farmer and lets them roam the land

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

And I let them "Free Roam" randomly around the 6 acres. They don't eat much and the water trough is drying up!

Finally got my rotating assembly out

Looks like the I beams I am running. 21 or 22mm pins? I had mine MADE into accepting 22's.
It took the old machinist 20 mins each to hand ream the small ends to fit perfectly. That guy must be 80, at least, but boy they all were perfect

 

[1cleangsx]

21mm

 

[steve]

and the gorgeous o2 and dump tube from Morrison Fab (guy knows how to make art) and the tial external waste gate.

Morrison Fab is a wife and husband team. It's highly possible that Annika did yours all by herself. They do make art!

Acceptance is the first step. We’re all proud of you, Marty!
