where are all the dsm people in Harford/Baltimore county??

[ZiggysDSM]

soon shawn very soon

Interesting to say the least. Im interested in seeing Tony's face when I clip my goal of a 10 second pass and his motor is still on the engine stand. Changed my entire setup just for you Fatboy! I think Im going to keep this one.

On a second note...

Who knows where I can have a custom downpipe fabbed? I need a 3" v-band downpipe, or just a 3" v-band O2. I don't know why more vendor's don't make this. FP is the only one I see that does this.

last i check its still on a engine stand, but its complete on a engine stand! Wheres that head at pecker! Still my homeboy though.

+1 for MBS, Excellent work, nice staff and good price. Custom work will be a little more, but hey, it's custom. They also stock couplers, tbolt clamps and do custom intercooler piping etc.

Nice.. Now you will be able to see what that HX-35 is made of. Looks like there is a few of us in the area that are working on some pretty nice builds. What kind of internals did you end up using again? I remeber you mentioning it at the Mason Dixon and in Jersey, but I forget. Was it Weisco/Eagle?

I'm really excited to push the HX35 to it's potential and get some nice numbers on the board. I got a good deal from a guy that changed his mind on his set up. They're eagle rods, ross pistons and APR head studs, rods and mains.

So far me and a friend just got the rotating assembly finished and I have to order some small parts today. Once the bottom end has all of the parts bolted on and ready to go in, I'll pull out my long block out of my car and pull the head off to have it decked and put it on my new block and drop it in. My goal is to have it running putting break in miles on it by March 1st.

Im hoping I can have my motor ready for drop in by March 1st. I just need to get a few things for the head and it can be assembled. Sold my FP3065 setup and Im waiting on my other turbo from FP. Hoping all these changes really payoff in the long run. Now your block is built, you ever think of upgrading to the HX-40? Do you plan on maxing the HX-35 setup?

 

[Gooberlog]

The only thoughts of an HX40 are far down the road. I think the HX35 will meet my goals with out having to upgrade. I plan on maxing it out, or atleast pushing it up near 38psi or so which seems to be the upper end of it's efficiency range. I still run the bolt on .55 turbine housing, so I'll probably top out around 500awhp. Once i switch to a full T3 exhaust and put on a bigger turbine housing it should be good as high as 600awhp. That's about all my forged internals are rated for, but honestly, that's about all I think i really need for a while. Using an E/T calculator, making 450 wheel horse power with my cars weight it should run roughly 10.89 (permiting a good launch and good shifting). My goals for this set up were high tens, but it looks like if i get a full T3 set up running good, it could do low tens. So no HX40 for a a while for me as long as my HX35 is doing well.

Sounds like you have your shit all planned out. It must be nice to set a goal and stick with it. Wish I could say that about myself. Are the rest of your mods up to date in your profile?

When are you going to get together with me and Tony one weekend for a few hours and show us some pointers on Link? I have no clue what the hell stuff means. I'd like to be able to hook this up to my car now, before the build goes in for some practice. You know Jessup is like 15 mins away from Dundalk right? ...

 

[Gooberlog]

I'm down when ever our schedules would line up, I think Tony said something about a cheese steak?! I'll pay for myself, I'm just always looking to use food as an excuse to get something done. As for showing you pointers on Link, haha, i can show you how to turn on the program and the basic features. Honestly i got a couple of friends that are pretty good with link, at least good enough to get a tune on it. But if you wanted to play around with it, I'd be down.

I work evenings, so my only free time that would prob work would be Thursdays which i've been working on my bottom end lately, plus i work Friday mornings. Or Saturday evenings and Sundays which usually my wife claims as her day.

As for my goal for my car, that was my goal when i got the car (to dip in to the tens and run deep 11's on street trim). I'm sure once i get there i'll be happy for a little while, have to re-evaluate my situation and go from there. If i have a kid on the way at that point i think i'll have to just be happy with my goal instead of making new ones. Plus one thing i love about my car is that i can still drive it on the street some what comfortable. I have friends with cars that are quick but too radical and not very street-able, and they never want to drive them. I want a quick car that i can also drive work here and there. Not sure yet what fuel i'll be trying to reach that goal on. 93oct, 112, C16, E85???

cheese steak, someone speaking to the fat kid here? Im always down when theres food or beer involved. My shops not that horrible of a drive and me and adam have put in some late nights, we'll he has, im normally occupied with side work, or well yea im sure adam will throw me under the bus on that. but anyway now that i dont have someone nagging me to be around more, im down for the get down, lets do the damn thing. Travis you going to the shoot out this year? I looking for a 2 or 3 car trailer to rent to tow out there, know anyone? Im not thinking adams car will like a 7 hour drive by then!

Travis you going to the shoot out this year? I looking for a 2 or 3 car trailer to rent to tow out there, know anyone? Im not thinking adams car will like a 7 hour drive by then!

Yea don't think so. Unless I stop every half hour for fuel. It's looking more and more like this is going to be a weekend car only. Wouldnt have it any other way Got some more stuff ordered yesterday. Ordering valves, and a few other misc. things Friday, then I can get the head put together.

Travis, all you have to do with us is just tell us what things mean. I'm not asking you to tune my car, only help explain how things work. Tom and Dave told me to bring the car down when I am done with the build and they will drop a good base tune in so I can get around town. Let us know when you can meet up. I got the beer and the gas covered! Cheesestakes are on Fat A$$. Fat people know where to get the best food. Anyway, I did a little research on the HX-35 and it seems these Holsets are really holding there own. The HX-35 record is a 10.76 at 137 I believe, by a guy in Ohio or something. I read it a few minutes ago but forgot already. The HX-40 record is held by Talondave from Oakland, MD. 10.14 . The HX-35 was done on street tires and a rough 20 tune! Sounds like you need to bring the game. I'll be routing for you man. Both Holset records need to be in MD!

I'm glad i'm not the only one to get excited about cheap food. My wife messed up by trading chores with me and now she does all the laundry and i do the grocery shopping. I bought a platter of hot wings yesterday from the store and ate half of them for lunch

I have no idea where to rent a wedge trailer for that new beast of yours, but if you find one, I think i need to start getting my stuff in order. I really would like to go to the shoot out and if everything is all good and if we had transportation figured out, i don't see why not. Other wise i'll just have to arrange to go to the NJ shoot out which was pretty beat except for 2009 when everyone was trying to make a statement to Bushchar's shoot out apparently I can ask around and see if we can get a 2-3 car trailer somewhere, between my boss and people we deal with i should be able to get more info.

I'm more than willing to try to offer the help that i can give, not sure if it'll be much though. Like i said, not sure what your schedules are, but my free time is during the day and evenings Thursday, Saturday and maybe a Sunday. Surprisingly the holset HX35 record doesn't seem that far out of reach. I say this, but in order to get that a lot of things would have to work out right. But if i was able to match the power levels of the guys that are maxing out HX35 (with T3 housings and exhaust- I'm still running mitsu bolt on) with my car's weight and if the trans would take the beating, I should be able to beat both records.

I did some more playing on the E/T calculator and it said with my cars weight and me making with in 25 horse power of the maxed out HX35 (around 600awhp on T3 housing) the calculator come up with 10.0 This might be wishful thinking, but i think i may have to get my trans and clutch some attention and maybe even a professional tune and see if i can break me a record. I'm worried that i'll have to upgrade my fuel an ignition some more before being able to reach those power levels though, but hey the year is young.

The HX35 record is 10.71 @ 133mph

 

[concreteTSI]

saturday at jsi automotive for some talon striping and some all around dsm chat sounds like a plan to me. Adam, still need to pull rear, front bushings and suspension and scraper she can go!

Travis if you come across anything on the trailer deal please let me know, i think the duramax could handle a 3 car... knew i should of got a dully But if one becomes avaible i can then work on the hitch part of it. If not adam needs to buy a truck before then, 2 car trailers one truck, math dont pan out.

And enough of the holset talk damnit, loving my pte over here!

 

[Gooberlog]

Ha ha, i'm not bashing any other turbos, I just love telling people how i love my quick spool up. I'll be honest though, i thought that at 28psi or so it would pull harder, but maybe that's because i was running 100-110 compression across the board. That wont be an issue much longer.

I did some research online on renting a wedge trailer or even just a multiple car trailer. Looks like anything over 2 cars is pretty much guaranteed to be a fifth wheel trailer. As for renting a multiple car trailer, i came up with nothing online. I asked my boss and some friends and they recommended me to a couple trailer places that i'll have to look in to. Most places only sell them though. I know your chevy duramax has the power to pull three cars, I see it all the time, but usually the wedge trailers are pulled by dually trucks. Not sure how important that would be with that heavy/large of a load.

I know someone with a single car trailer, but i would not want to pull a trailer of that level of quality that far. It's a homemade trailer that I've used a number of times, but i would not be extremely comfortable using it on two 8 hour drives. I also have a buddy with a '05 2500 duramax 4dr single rear wheel and a buddy with a '07 cummins 2500 4dr single rear wheel, both are automatics. The one with the Chevy has talked about pulling me to Ohio for the shoot out in the past, but my friend with the Cummins would get a kick out of the whole thing. I only mention them, cause as my Tundra does well pulling my car on my friends trailer, it lacks some power on large hills and braking is not awesome since there are no trailer brakes hooked up on that trailer. I guess if i had a nice trailer to use that was lighter, had brakes and pulled well, I would consider pulling it to Ohio with my Toyota. I'll look in to multi car trailer rentals some more and see what i can come up with. Honestly I have been drooling over a '03-06 2500 4dr 4X4 Cummins Short bed Auto for a while now, but for the most part my Tundra does everything i need it to and the wife says no new truck since we only have 12 more months to pay on it till we're done.

So this Saturday at the shop for dsm wrenching and chatin huh? I work 8am till about 2pm on Saturday, what time did you have in mind. PM me the address and time you want to do some work. If you remind me I'll bring my lap top if it helps at all, my wife just got me a new battery for it. Don't think I'll drive the laser up there, but i may bring the OTHER dsm.

here are some pics of my buddie's trailer that i've used but i'm not too sure about two 8 hour trips. No trailer brakes hooked up and from my experienced friends, they say the trailer is pretty heavy. Not to mention the Tundras didn't get rear disc brakes till 2007, mine an '05

^That looks perfect for a 16 hour haul!!

Damnit, I want to bring the gsx out. You don't have any spare clutches lying around, do ya Travis???

I do have an ACT 2100 in good shape that i've been trying to sell for a while now. Let me know if you're interested in it.

As for the trailer, i guess it'd be ok, wouldn't really want to work my gas engine truck that hard though.

Let me know what your asking. My 2600 is still in there, as I have yet to yank it. I thing I may have popped a spring or two.

My buddy and I rented a Tundra a few years ago to tow his car to Ray Pampena. On the way back, the trans light came on. I think you'd be better off with the duramax.

 

[GMCometh]

jsi automotive for all your dsm needs, not far from you at all in kingsville. We get pretty good deals on tires and do inspections

I'll have to look you guys up. Gonna need a shep tranny installed pretty soon...

I only have the pressure plate and i was asking $100 shipped, but i guess if you want it how's $75 picked up?

Yeah my Tundra does ok with it, but Ohio is a long hilly 8 hours away that begs for diesel. Maybe i'll just try to race at Englishtown this year. I would love to go to Ohio for the weekend during the shoot out though.

we as the shop or me as myself can get that handled for you, i do a ton of work at night here for myself, awesome having a cool boss!

 

[Gooberlog]

I guess i'm just a little less excited about racing at a dsm shoot out because my car has nothing to offer in the class that i would be racing in. But I agree, NJ was BS. I guess we'll see how my car is doing when the shoot out gets closer and we'll go from there.

Shit like mine does? Im hoping for a bracket class ### im sure as hell not going to be far enough along to compete, but having my car there to drive around for a coulple days will be worth taking it.
