Nice job man! I know nate was having problems with his alternator when he was tuned before Proving Grounds....he replaced it and found that he had been running ~11.8v before and now a full 14v....his AFRs were way rich (fuel pump pumping more) to the point that he was having ignition breakup. I guess what I'm saying is, check your grounds, check your alternator, and enjoy the car!

That isn't a DSM power curve man I swear, power just goes up up up!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Nice work.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Might as well update this too. I went to the import vs. domestic race in Brainerd this weekend and ran a poor time of 12.4 @ 116 with a 1.7 60'.. While I was racing I broke a drivers side rear axle.. My buddy has videos of some of my passes and I ran against Mike in a few of them. I'm going to try and get his video camera from him and get the videos up.

I was getting locked out of 3rd gear and couldn't get into 2nd fast enough and was bogging down. I'm not used to this kind of power yet and need to get better at launching my car... I should have no problems getting into the low 11's with it but like I said before its driver error.

I'm going to post up a video of the damage soon but I don't have a socket big enough to get the axle out yet as my dads buddy has the big socket set...

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

You use NLTS? What rpm is your launch control set at?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Not my best run but my first one on the setup

I did not use NLTS.. I know I sould have but when I was going to turn after the run I broke...

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Wow! Great job Chris! Happy to see everything come together for you :)

You car should be a low 11 second car EASY.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Some pictures of the broken axle. I'm not going to take it apart quite yet because I'm going to take it to a shop first and let them deal with everything.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Post a dyno graph!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Post 273 has dyno graphs!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Get the axel fixed?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I'm gonna go to proven force on Monday or Tuesday.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Ok so, I went to proven force and they took it apart to tell me that the axle is F*&KED... I figured that so today I ordered 2 of these!

http://www.thedsmgraveyard.com/produ...r2gaxlelsd.htm

I'm only going to do the one for now so that I can drive my car. I'm affraid about the axle being frozen in the hub and more problems so I will be swapping out he other side this winter.

Hopefully no more snapping axles for me :D

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Do them both at the same time.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Might as well try WMD do them both at the same time. Then you only lose fluid once

Seem like nice axles!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

^ no because the rear is elevated the fluid isn't coming out.. so no fluid loss on taking the one out

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Fluid is cheap, fix the broken one and rip it! Back left one is the most common to break IIRC, so just get it back on the road--summer is almost over!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

My thoughts exactly!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Got both of my axles in the mail today! dropped off the one at proven force to swap the inner cup from the old one on to the new one then hopefully I can pick it up after work tomorrow and have my car on the road this weekend!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

You better, let's do a pull. I wanna see how much you pull on me

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Picked up the axle today and am in the process of getting it in there... What a pain in th ass this shit is...

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

A couple pictures of the snapped axle from the inside.. Lots of grease but you can still see it.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

A couple pictures from going to Brainerd. Just found them so I thought that I would post them up.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

It was easy, what are you talking about

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Ya all the work was done before you got there and it took 2 people which I am only one man.. O and the longer bolt worked but the nut on the back ball joint is stripped out so I will get a new one tomorrow and put the exhaust back on then she is back on the road again!!!! excited!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

My car is back on the road driving! I can hear a clunking though when I turn hard left and idk if its the new one of the old one??? I have a welded diff so this doesn't help but i would think that all the pressure would be on the left one while turning left so this confuses me..

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Its normal.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

What do you mean normal?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

just drive it. Dont worry about it

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Well nothing really new but the other axle is f#&$Ed so I will be installing the new one this spring if I can get around to it. also,I started her up on Sunday and she turnedover nicely.that's all for now. I know its a fail update.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

People still drive dsms? :P

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Started her up today and went around the block.... Got on it and boom! Blew off an intercooler pipe.. Fwooofta because I thought it was worse.. Since it needed to be jumped to start, when the pipe blew off and the car died and no power... Had to have the gf come get me with the jumper cables. Now she's back in the garage sleeping.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Time for the hairspray technique on the silicone couplers.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I can honestly say I've never heard of this?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I dropped my axle off at Proven Force on wed and picked it up today. Now I have both of the heavy duty axles in the car! Finally.... Took the car around the block afterwards and it feels great. Also, swung by DB and picked up some oil for the oil change I'm doing tomorrow. Then she is ready to go! All I am going to do before PG is get a dyna tec CDI that I am going to order on Monday.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Sweet! You still rocking the 35R?

Come get that fuse cover!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

+2 :nod:

thats the only way to go!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Yes the 35r is where I'm going to be for a long while unless it blows up on me or something... I really want that damn cover but the time is the issue..
