Thanks! I got a titanium exhaust manifold stud kit from JD Customs in the burnt finish.haha Thank you!

Hello All!I got a flashy update on new parts and where the car is at currently. As of right now, I am in the process of stripping the interior out, once again. I'm getting the car ready to take to a friend of mine at Red Rocket Racing for a 10 point 8.50 cert chromoly cage, it's been needed...

Any input for 2g install when it comes to the tire rods? I have the smaller looking outer tie rods. Will be *attempting* install sometime next month. Still no feedback on how the rack actually feels once installed?

Hey All,I will hopefully have some big updates in the next month or two on the car and change ups! Looking forward to being able to post up some really cool stuff.However, I had the awesome opportunity to talk to Josh a bit about my journey with not only this car, but also a bit on my...

Cool little update, I made the 2024 DSMTuners calendar!!! How cool is that?! I believe my month is January. What a nice surprise and I am totally honored. Now I have to keep going, and can't part the thing out! :DWell, with it being time to put the car away for winter changes, brings a...

Ordered two! Thank you, and I'm honored to have made the cut!!!!! WOOOOOO

Well, I got the car out one last time this year, and accomplished my last goal I had set for myself- Enter and win one round in a small tire class. I also had a really awesome experience and got to race one of the fastest no prep cars in the U.S., John Quick! He put a bit of a whoopin on me haha...

Just a little update as I sit on my couch with my Sunday coffee and not much else to do. I have started to collect some of the items I plan on putting on over the winter, and ended up just knocking out some small installs. There's a no prep event on the 21th local to me that I try and attend to...

Shootout recap. We won the Street Eliminator class!!! What a weekend! The car did very well for the most part all weekend long and went rounds! We originally entered the 9.5 index class as this car is very, very untested on this new set up, so we wanted to see how things would go.We first...

Well, I took the car out for a drive to my parent's house, and their neighbor was the first person to ask if the puke tank's stack was the exhaust LOL! So it happened haha.Anyway! We're ready for The Shootout! I wanted the ability to hop into the street eliminator class if everything seems to...

Wrapped up the burn down/puke tank. I beleive all that's really left before The Shootout is to test out the nitrous and get this car to come up on the 2 step. The actual launch dialing in will more than likely be done at the track. Aside from that, an oil change, and final inspection, this thing...

Update, is it considered a Shootout scramble yet? 😬😬😬Trans is back in and street tested. All seems to be going well so far! I ended up NOT doing that RD oiling port mod just yet. I found that an adjustable restrictor may be needed to maintain proper converter pressure, and I'm just not ready...

Hey all, a little update on this thing. I have the trans about 95% wrapped up. I just need to bolt on some miscellaneous accessories, the ATF filter, and then get the trans in the car to mark where I want to weld the ATF return fitting on.I replaced the planetary gear set, annulus gear and...

Got it to the dyno, made some nice power! We stopped at 47psi falling to about 45psi. I saw 88lbs/min at the top of the gear, it's def moving some air!!! Unfortunately after our last hit, we ended up hurting the planetary gear set which in turn cracked the aunnulus gear and flange. I do believe...

Well figure I'd share an update. The car WAS up and running, and working bugs out as they popped up. Got it to the dyno and make some nice jam... and planetary gear set soup! lmao. The trans it out, and I will be putting together a new trans for the car. Dyno video and trans in the next post...

Yup I have no problem with changing up base fuel pssure, I'm usualy running around 45 base. We'll see what things look like once these trims are more leveled, I think I'll be pulling the fuel to a global value that makes more sense for such a large injector,I may have jumped the gun on this...

Hello all.I was wondering if anyone has ran the Alpha Injection Clinic 2600cc fuel injectors, and if anyone has ran them with ECMLink? I'm switching from FIC 2150s, and some things seem to be a little weird. I'm really after seeing what was used for global and voltage values, as I found I had...

Been awhile since I last posted anything. I took a break, but was picking on things here and there. I honestly forgot where I even left off here ha. Anyway, I'll let picture speak for themselves.Alternator relocated to the back of the block to free up some room for the exhaust.New Valve...

Thanks! I think I'll be taking a nice long break from wiring after this! lmao!

Got the air bag delete from Carbonetics, it's a pretty nice piece! Much better than just having an open hole in that location imo. I believe I ordered it in December, so honestly it came at the perfect time for me. I tried to order as soon as I made my mind up on it.Anyway! Here's what the...

Just a little fun update I have for today. I have installed a switch panel in the location of where a radio deck would go, and have deleted most of the car's speakers. I didn't want to totally lose the ability to listen to music though, because this is still a car I plan on driving around and...

I have installed a new harness from them, and I will say I'm pleased with the quality. Everything came as ordered, and the harness fit just as I would have expected, but this is still without having the engine installed. Anyway, it's so much nicer than an old OEM harness.Also, this may be...

Just an update on the car. I did get the motor back, but haven't had the chance to work on that at all. I've been grinding on the relay board and interior electronics. I pulled the dash to get as much crap out as I could get my hands on, which of course has turned into a rather larger project...

Not too much to update for the chassis yet, but did get more VERY pretty parts in.The @MorrisonFab exhaust manifold is an absolute work of art! I need a nicer car to install it on LOL. It's their large runner Xona V-band manifold with an added 1/8" NPT bung for an EMAP set up if I ever want...

My condolences, so sorry for you loss.

Well I finally have something very PRETTY to look at! The turbo showed up the other week, and this thing is a beaut. I'm not going to disclose all the sizes due to the type of racing I'm in, but it'll be a nice power upgrade which I need since I'm moving away from using any nitrous down the...

Hey all,So I have a little project brewing up in my noggin (this usually means bad ideas), and have some questions on the turbo FWD 5 speed transmissions. I'm looking for a way to be able to use an AWD intermediate shaft with the FWD transmissions, and I have found somewhere that this is...

Hey guys, I'm just looking around for some example logs (ECMLink) with a car running in upwards of 80-95lbs/min and the timing seen at higher rpm? If you're seeing 45-50psi and seeing a flow of 85-90lbs/min, what is a round about timing you go to? (assuming E85 is being used) Thanks!

Yup I sourced a used OEM 6 bolt crank. The bearing surfaces seem to be in nice shape, so hopefully it will just need a polish and be good to go.Yeah I've been buying from Josh for a long time now, always recommend him to other, especially for OEM parts!

Happy new year! Haven't updated in a little bit, and don't have too much to share. I did find more "garage wall art" aka broken shit while tearing the block down! Number 3 piston was deformed in the dish, things must have got HOT. It's kinda hard to see in the photo, but if you run your fingers...

Pretty sure she's keeping the chassis, maybe it'll come back around some day.

I beat the snot out of mine on a FP zero at about 42psi with zero signs of any coolant being pushed (All shootout, and two no prep 1/8 events). The only down side IMO is having to resurface the head every time it's off due to the rings cutting into the aluminum. I will continue to run these...

Three of my favorites from 2021 Shootout.

Hey everyone, well I'm about 95% sure I have found the weird noise I was hearing. Saw all flexplate to crank bolts rotated to some degree, so they all back out on me. I'm not sure if this happened just over this season, or if they have been doing this slowly over the 2-3 years of being...

So I mentioned in my post above that the car seemed to have developed some issues at the last no prep race I was at. I thought it may have been a failing nitrous solenoid, but so far those have tested out to be ok, and nothing showed this in the logs. The car would have a really hard time...

haha as much as I miss the 5 speeds, the auto really does shine in the type of racing I've been doing, when shifting properly that is LOL. I actually ran the zero this whole season, and will be moving into a larger frame turbo over the winter, at least that is the plan for now.EDIT: well...

September No prep:Well I was super excited to finally attend one the these no prep events with a properly working shift box! Unfortunately though, other issues popped up as the day went on. The first run everything felt pretty good, car launched out nice and all the shifts were on the money...

2021 Shootout:First of all I want to thank my friends for always helping out and being so supportive. I had a blast seeing lots of people I haven't been able to see in years, and also meeting a lot of awesome people!It was a long, HOT and HUMID weekend, some small issues the were overcome...

I didn't do a very good job at keeping up the the last bit of the year. I went to two more of my local no prep events and the 2021 Shootout in between those events.August no prep, I was eliminated in the second round. There's a pretty fast GTR that started to show up, and my shift box was...
