Looks like we might finally get some better gear options for people who don’t want to build a dogbox. This is the same company started making spider gears for our center diffs a while ago. I hope they get enough interest to put this into production.
Made my first ever passes at the shootout this year and after my 3rd run I started leaking oil inside of the timing cover. Thought I pushed the oil pump seal out so I parked the car till I could get it back home and tear into it.Well after getting it tore down I found that not only did I push...
So I recently had a manifold head stud pull the threads out.After doing a bit of research I decided to use time-serts instead of a helicoil or thread insert. My question is if I am using a stainless manifold and stainless studs one would assume I should use stainless time-serts instead of the...
I’m trying to get my car ready to be tuned and I’m having a issue with boosting past spring pressure. My mods list is up to date but the basic run down is a 6062 divided T4, 38mm tial WG’s with the 24# springs, 3 port IR boost solenoid with both the top and bottom wastegate ports hooked up and...
I found this post from a couple years back about s90 having an updated version of their throttle bodies with a thicker shaft and better seals. I can’t find any additional info about these supposed improvements. Has anyone ordered the “updated” version? Curious if this is a load of BS or if there...
I remember one year at the shootout there was a vendor there selling things like acrylic hood props for car shows and glasses/mugs stuff that was custom etched with dsm related logos. I still have a couple of the glasses I bough for him but wished I had gotten one of his hood props. If I...
Selling my hx35 setup. This is everything you need minus the 38mm wastegates. I made 515hp on a mustang dyno at 30psi with this setup. Hx35 turbo has 3500 miles on it since rebuilt by justin. Manifold is made by redjack racing and has been wrapped. The down pipe is custom made from 3” pie cuts...
Got my car on the dyno the other day to get it dialed in and get some power numbers. Power was a bit lower than what I’d hoped to get out of the HX35 with my setup but it was a Mustang dyno and the HP/TQ crossover point isn’t at 5250 like it should be so I don’t know if something was off in the...
So the other night I had a small electrical fire in my car. After doing a small highway pull I had smoke coming from my steering column. I ripped the plastics apart on the side of the road to find the small wires that go from the headlight/turn signal switch to the actual hand lever had melted...
My local track runs the the track backwards for the street car brawl events and the surface at that end is terrible. I launch my car at 4K and spin down the entire 1320 in every gear the surface is so bad. I’m sure my 8 year old tires and open diffs play a big role in that. The true street class...
Let me start by saying I have been searching and reading about this issue for a while but I still can’t get my IR boost solenoid to raise my boost past WG pressure.After years of my car sitting on jack stands I finally got everything together and sent it to my local dsm shop for some custom...
I have D2 coil overs and I noticed the gap between the front drivers side tire and fender is noticeably less than the other 3 tires. I just got this car running after 6 years of being on jackstands so not sure if this is a new issue or has always been present without me noticing. I figured the...
Just went to install my bullfab crossmember and it doesn’t line up very good. I could probably get the front bolts in if I pulled it over and pushed up but there is no way I’ll get the mount bolt in. The factory one bolts on and lines up perfect. I messsged bullfab a couple days ago but haven’t...
I just tried to install my zaklee timing cover over my aem tru time cam gears and it doesn’t fit. Anyone else run into this problem? I’ve always understood that this was the upper timing cover you needed to fit over adjustable cam gears. The mid cover fits with a couple mm to spare. It appears...
I have been searching for a while now but idk maybe I am using the wrong search criteria.♂️ Looking for a part number for the non a/c heat duct out of the RS. I know someone out there can point me in the right direction.
So I am looking to have another 2.4 built since my last one sent the rod through the block. I’ve always read and understood that all 63 and 64’s post mid 97 are split thrust blocks. I ordered a block from miller imports to have built and he has informed me that all 3 of the blocks he has pulled...
I fiinally got my dsm up to Boostin Performance for some time on their mustang dyno today. Right off the street it was running really lean. Since the car had sat all winter after a summer of driving on E85 Devin suggested I have my injectors cleaned and flow tested. He has the equipment in house...
I have been searching and I can't find the answers I am looking for. Maybe I am using the wrong search criteria.Anyways, I have a spun rod bearings in a gst spyder I am working on due to oil starvation from the pan being dented in pretty bad. This is a virgin car and will remain that way, so...
Need some help from all you fantasy football fans. I got 2 trade offers and don't know if I should accept one both or neither. First is Leshoure and Crabtree for Gates and the second is Mathews and Lloyd for Mendenhall and Cruz. What do you think? My team consists of P. Manning, Forte, Mathews...
Ok I have been reading on tire size and fitment for the better part of 3 days now. I still can't find the answers I am looking for. I recently picked up a set of evo9 enkies and need to put some tires on them. I am pretty set on Dunlop star specs since I love the set I have now. I would also...
Decided to finally go to the track for the first time after work today. My car was just tuned on E85@29psi on a EVO316G so I figured why not. I have never ran a car of any type down the 1/4. I also have never launched my car before tonight. I was nervous to try but I remebered a friend last year...
Just dropped my car off to get tuned and shortly after I got a call and was told my car will not start with the 1450 injectors. :confused: Before you rip my tuner just know he is very reputable in the dsm community and really knows his stuff. He said with the Blue Max 1450's it is really hit and...

I have been looking for a quality T3 twin scroll manifold for my hx35. The only two companies that seem to make them for a DSM are punishment and JMF. Are there any other options out there besides these two? They both seem like great products but I like options. I know it will be suggested so I...
I am getting all my plans and parts together for my winter upgrades and had a question. I planned on pulling the head off this winter to upgrade the springs/retainers so I can run a more aggressive cam profile and upgrade the head studs. My question is if I do pull the head off will I have to...
Basically my buddy wants me to go race an autoX event with him before the year is up. I have never raced in an autoX event before and my car is pretty heavily modified. I am always competitive in everything I do and want to know if it will be worth my time to enter. I dont expect to win but...
I have been doing alot of research and thinking about switching to e85. I planned on making the switch this winter when the hx35 goes on. I know I will need bigger injectors for that. I have my car scheduled for SD install and a dyno tune with Devin @ Boostin performance on Tuesday. I wanted to...
I just finished swapping my engine/trans over from my talon to the eclipse shell I bought. Start it up and the pump is making noise. I figure it needs bled since the guy I bought the shell from said he had just put the rack and pump back in. He said he was running a depowered rack the last few...
I have 2 complete sets of plastic to do a 2gb conversion. Front/rear bumpers, complete side skirts, spoiler and headlights. Both front bumpers have been cut for a fmic and one side skirt has some minor curb rash on it. One full set is oem black and the other mismatched colors. Will not ship so...
I have read through a few threads on this but they all seem to cover cleaning the inside. I am looking to clean the outside. I just got my evo3 intake manifold and it looks every bit of 16 years old. I would like to make it look as close to new as possible. I do not have access to a bead blaster...
