Just replied to your email, sent you the tracking # and invoice copy.We are having shipping issues all last week since switching over from UPS to Fedex. There was about a week span in the middle where nothing was shipping out...long story..we are moving to a new location and our UPS account...

I did put the 5 bar map sensor in place of the 3.5bar when I swapped the clutch (easy access to bottom of intake manifold). I had a nice time rescaling the maps and finding all the little options and such that automaticly change. like the map on/off for nitrous activation went from 0/35 to 10/60 !

honestly, your AF ratio target shouldn't be affected by nitrous/no nitrous. I find that once you get a nitrous kit on the car, you basicly have "unlimited power potential" so I dont' go nuts trying to fine tune every hp out of the AF ratio, when you can just up a jet size and make the same power.

I think im going to get it back to the track next weekend and try to pump in some more power and get the launch back to my norm. After thinking about how to improve it all night/day, I see a bunch of stuff that might be wise to change:#0 Get the internal datalogger fixed!!!!!#1 bump...

Hey guys, just got back from Island Dragway test and tune.finally got our shop talon to run right, After sorting out a few issues, I got 2 clean passes in:11.5 @ 137 with no first gear power (sitting on 2step rev limit..issue with clutch switch)Then this:1.591 60' 4.511 330...

you are going to go to the what effectivly is the same installation labor as a nitrous kit and spend 4/5 of the cost of a real wet nitrous kit to get an IC sprayer that makes not even 1/5th of the power of a wet nitrous kit. not to mention that some random amount of nitirous getting to the air...

oh yeah, don't worry about oringing the block or anything crazy. If your machinework was good on the head surface, with the 4layer and arp's..you should be good for all the power you can make with a 20g and a single fogger. turn the boost down 2 or 3 psi to start with and add the 50 shot...

you have a solid shortblock, so if I were you, stick a single fogger wet kit on and put in the 50 shot jets. Once you know it runs clean on the 50 shot, stick in the 75 and go faster.I don't belive in progressive controllers and much of the ntirous frills and fluff. there is no reason your...

I really hope DB doesn't decide to do something drastic and cut the stock appearing class next year becuase of low turnout like he did the 3kgt and fwd cars.Im definalty on this 14b turbo for the rest of this year. nitrous is going back on too, but I will continue to push it without the...

Unfortunatly we had a big problem with the 14b talon. It ran on fridya night for 2 runs...both 12.4 @ 107 with 1.60 and 1.66 short times. power was way down from last week....we did turn the boost down to 19 in attempt to lower the knock count. Was bogging the launch on both leaving at 6000...

Yup...life is hectic for sure. I have to get the business setup to go to the shootout also, that is a huge job..pack the whole inventory, price enverything, load trailer, finish racecar. We also have the standard 4000 people calling a day before we leave that need parts overnight shipped so...

so the big question is: will you be at the shootout or at the B&B for your aniversary? :eek:good luck with the aem. Im going to put one in the evo in a few weeks and start there. If it goes well, Ill probobly do the same for the talon. (ditching vpc./afc also). I hear the newest...

Eh...honestly making the car faster for stock appearing isnt' all that important to me. I got about 400 things on my mind getting ready to leave..the last thing I have time to do is rig up another tuning variable. Im sure it would work....but all that trouble for one day...the car will get...

REALLY REALLY hot. I don't have an intake temp gauge unfortunatly.

Dude...don't think Im not trying! Going to take some addtional work though, at the moment Im restricted by SA rules....2 week and hopefully you will be itching to 14b again. :p

Thanks....Good luck also on your chase for 11's on 14b. It's tough getting the stars to all line up so to speak.I cannot wait to see what this thing does with a good fmic and 200 lb removed.

Well..as you say with the high compression, I don't think it was gaining much. I have a crappy stock sidemount and it was knocking up a storm. It probobly would have made more mph down at 18psi than it does at 22.I have to say that I haven't ever had this much fun going to the dragstrip as...

Agree'd...im sure the crazy knock is hurting the power way more than the a couple of psi is gaining.I was playing with the base timing trying to get it under control, but didn't get any results there.

Yeah,I suck...posting under employee acccounts.

Definatly. It was cool last night and the IC was getting stupid hot. At the shootout in the daytime it will be even worse. I have a local guy willing to lend me a supra sidemount for the weekend, that's my last resort. Im really trying to get a better intercooler for the shootout, as I...

Actually Phil, I have something different in the works. Seems my junkyard 178K old engine has a loud tap now..I suspect rod bearing. So Im building a race motor capable of handling a TON of nitrous.I have the NOS Pro-Race 4 port kit here with the nice angled dist blocks. 160, 200, and 250...

Hehehe well we did the $2004 challenge this year with a total budget of $1752. Car went 11.73 @ 117 and placed 5th overall and 3rd at the drag event.Just recently went 11.44 @ 118.7 on a bigger nitrous jetting and better tires.

I got them from summit. you want 5.5" backspacing and 5 x 4.5" bolt spacing. 15 x 8" wheels. they are just a hair over 10lb each. The bad thing is you need the long 7/16" dia wheel studs and SST type nuts to use these wheels. The center hub is over 4" thick. The front wheels also need 2...

standard NOS brand single fogger wet kit. It's adjustable from 40 - 150hp. Im running on the upper end of the scale right now. You really should get an asortment of jets and a bottle heater/gauge if you want it to work consistently.

That was our goal. We qualified ahead of alot of high $ cars with T3T4 turbo's and built engines.We want to show our customers and anyone who will listen that you can put down some really good #'s with basic parts if your willing to use the bottle and good tires.My car isn't super...

The car ran a best of 12.4 @ 109 without nitrous the first day out testing for the $2004 Challenge back in early march. I haven't made any non nitrous passes since the first day...so now Im going to put some effort into running down the 14b non nitrous record. :)Ran the 12.4 on 450's...

Hey guys...Just ran a new 14b time yesterday at Englishtown, NJ at the East Coast DSM Shootout.1.660 60' 4.727 330' 7.302 1/8 93.82 1/8 mph 9.549 1000' 11.448 1/4 118.72 MPHWas running the mods listed above for the Grassroots Challenge setup with these changes: Car was...

Bing....correct, although we haven't needed them yet. Just ran the $2004 car today...12.43 @ 109. mph went from 103 to 109 with hacking the maf and finding other ways to bypass intake around the maf meter. Unfortuantly were running out of testing time and will need to get into tuning the...

I used a turbonetics to4E 50 trim (stage 3, .63ar) for most of 2002 season. ran best of 11.0 @ 125 on it @ 28psi.we tried swapping over to a 60-1 compressor housing and wheel. same turbine, same turbine housing.results: 11.2 @ 127. We gained about 2mph on average (and lost 1mph at...

I woudn't trust an Alum thin flywheel that has had it's surface worn down 3 times to be even close to strait. The ACT should last just as long as any alum flywheel.besides for the cost of one fidanze and one surface replacement...you can just buy 2 act's. extremly rare for someone to go...

you need to get either the Type S kit specific for 2g dsm (comes with a flange that has a little pipe on the bottom to "rubber hose clamp" it to the stock pipe.or the best bet is to change the upper ic pipe at the same time. Greddy makes a really nice alumpipe set. Dejon tool makes ic...

I would recomend the ACT flywheel and 2100 kit. if your not drag racing a fwd with slicks or making sick power you should be fine. FWD's are far less straining to the clutch than awd. ACT's seems to hold up better than the CFDF and have less issues in the long run.

The stock fuel filter is not much of a restriction unless your looking to make an honest 600at the wheels, nor are the stock fittings/hose. The best reason to buy an AFPR is to be able to run normal fuel pressure at idle. Large pumps overrun the stock FPR becuase the fuel flow passage is very...

DSMotorsport's old racecar shell picsWe are going to be rebuilding this shell for Grass Roots Motorsports $2004 challenge. The rules state that you can use a car or parts that you own, but have to assess a "Fair Market Value" for such parts. Fair market value is determined to be what the...

Im going to be using the E-o1 boost controller with the emanage on our SRT-4 neon. It's a really nice setup, but big $ for both. the E-o1 is like $550

60-1 is not a good turbo IMHO. I swapped the 50 trim/III/.63 for a 60-1/III/.63 last summer on my yellow car. best et on the 50 trim was 11.01 @ 125.8 with awsome spoolup and drivability...no powershifting needed to keep it up.with the 60-1 and no other changes....the average runs were...

Use of my customers just made 451 AWD wheel hp with our 50 trim kit. 26psi racegas. Car has for other mods: stock 1g bottom, stock 1g head, 264's, venom intake AEM EMS, 650s DSMotorsport 50 trim t3t4 kit, 216FMIC Trevor Sandiford...not sure if he's on this board.Also had a boost leak...

We will be carrying these Precision built bolt on t3t4 turbos, should be in our hands in 2 weeks. Will be running the smallest 50 trim turbo on our shops' new "budget streetracer" with a stock 2.0 and the largest PTE t3t4 (possibly GT wheel) on our shop racecar with a built 2.4.

not really...you can't block the stock ecu signal to open the injector, you can only hold it open longer. what you can do...is lean the airflow signal out alot.....so no fuel cutthen take out timing where your getting knock..(from very low airflow signal)and use the injector pulse...

The prices for each individual harness/part is on my website www.diamondstarmotorsport.com/elecparts.shtmlit doesn't "replace" the stock harness anywhere...it just taps into the injector signal wires and when the stock ecu opens/shuts the injectors, the emanage can keep the injector open...

I agree with GRNDSM here's my firsthand experience with a 50 trim and a 60-1 T3T4 hybrid... both stage 3 wheel both .63 AR housing (the same housing in fact!)50 trim 11.00 @ 125 mph 1.602 60' 28psi AF ratio ??? 60-1 11.32 @ 128mph 1.56X 60' 28-30psi AF ratio ~12.0 to...

[email protected] I have had a bunch go through my shop (awd11secgsx). I plan to run one in my shop's racecar with speed density. Will be using aem's 3.5bar map sensor, not the GM.

yeah basicly. It can automaticly "scale" the airflow signal to conpensate for bigger injectors...like you say had 450's...now have 550....it automaticly calculates the % differance and changes the airflow map to compensate.the ignition and injector harnesses are key to using the emanage to...

The emanage cannot covert the DSM MAF based system to speed sensity with the MAP sensor. It isn't like the VPC in that respect where you take out the MAF sensor from the intake pipe. It does work like an AFC in respect that the airflow signal (from the maf) is adustable. If you get the...

Use a single fogger wet kit from either NX or NOS. install the smallest jets they give you. I recomend using an electronic WOT switch, and not the mechanical micro switch included in either kit.with a wet kit, all the fuel/nitrous is supplied through the nozzle and metered with jets. you...

I have not done lexan on my own car, but talked about it few years ago with dan cokic of pruven. He told me that the rear window is cake to fit will since it's relativly flat. saved like 16lb the rear side windows didn't even save one lb each, and were a complete bastard to fit, since it's a...
