Build your Dream DSM...

Lacroix's intake mani


I can help ya with that one ;)


Sell it, save up a few more hundred, get your self a better turbo. SCM61s spool like shit and make shit power on pump and probably E85 too.

Kerry made ~480 @ DB with that turbo, jus sayin'

Scheides hit the nail on the head with that list. I'd go with an FMIC instead of an SMIC due to the extra heat you'd see from the 16G on a 2.4L, but I can appreciate the sleeper logic.

If he is running E85 he wouldn't have to worry about that.

This was a careful decision. One, the car would probably run e85, mitigating the need for the FMIC, but still need the flow of a nice SMIC. Two, 1G's don't have the radiator openings over the FMIC that evos do, and this will keep the radiator nice and airflow-happy.

I'd consider a thin ETS FMIC like Halon did though, just because FMICs look cool :)

THIS, or maybe the 993TT from Bad Boys.

Dream dsm... lol I guess as I get older, I have bigger and better dreams.

[polishmafia]

A black 2001 Galant GTZ with a carbon fiber FiD manifold and 120mm carbon fiber TB... with the trim that comes with an ash tray.

[Goat Blower]

I guess since we're adding that money is no object, than it definitely wouldn't be a DSM. It would be a matte black Lamborghini Reventon cab.

[turbotalon1g]

I thought we were building DSMs?

If not my realistic dream car that i will have is a lsx FD, I've wanted a 911 since I was a kid.

Pagani zonda seems pretty pimp or ferrari xxx
