350 whp will be a fun car. I remember my old talon was pretty fun with that kind of power but it had a lag scm61 on it. Hope Shane can get that thing tuned tip top. You will have to go out some night and beat up on some hondas.

Nice man, can't wait to see you enjoying this thing.

Any update from DB?

Re: Project DSM-NonGM
 

Goes on the dyno monday morning. I brought it up early so that they could install the wideband. I dont have a means for welding stainless so it's just easier to let them do it at this point.

Re: Project DSM-NonGM
 

Hopefully more than just hondas lol :deadhorse:

Re: Project DSM-NonGM
 

Hahahahaha iam always down for a street race. I would love to see how the vette stacks up against your car. Iam sure if you make 400 it will be a easy win for you. But if yoyr making 350 ish that would be a fun race.

Re: Project DSM-NonGM
 

yeah for sure! Thats what it's all about. Just something to have some fun with.

Well have not updated in awhile, the car successfully made it on the dyno and off for that matter. The hp numbers were a bit disappointing though, we ran into a few issues. The bov was an issue and we thought may have been leaking at higher boost. At first it was only seeing about 17ish so we decided to crush the top in and we ended up maxing out around 19( was looking for higher 20's but stupid me should have replaced the bov ). Also had a few other issues that went unnoticed until i made it home. it has some kind of brace between the alternator and the motor mount that loosened up im guessing on the dyno and shredded the belt by the time I made it home which probably didnt have anything to do with the numbers but was an issue none the less. Glad i made it home in time. Once i pulled it into the garage i noticed axle grease all over the LF wheel. So new axle and belt replaced. Also swapped out the rack for a reman since the boots were torn and it was leaking anyway.

The car ended up making 264/242 and 302 in shootout. ( the numbers may be a few off as Im thinking off the top of my head). Its still quick and has been fun to drive but I still am gunning for the goal of 400 and already know what ill be replacing for next year. E85 will be a must and then im going to swap out the intake manifold as well and with a new bov and shoot for more boost.

Ran into a new issue recently lol (seems never ending, but i assumed as much so whatever). The transfer case is leaking pretty bad. Swapped out the rear output shaft seal but its still leaking. Learned about the yoke being an issue so I ordered the revised yoke kit from extreme and am just waiting to put it in.

Hopefully back to enjoying within a week here.

Re: Project DSM-NonGM
 

Sorry to hear of the troubles Matt. Looking forward to it all coming together though!

Re: Project DSM-NonGM
 

Thanks! Honestly its ok, it's been somewhat of a learning experience. I am glad everything is working and at least at this point I can drive it this year. there is always time for more mods and more power. Nothing blew up so it's all good!

Re: Project DSM-NonGM
 

Nothing new here, but was able to get the car kinda detailed and ready to be put away in the next few weeks.

So clean! Need to see it in person sometime before she goes to sleep.

Re: Project DSM-NonGM
 

Was talking with a buddy the other day who happens to have Peters old dsm, he is looking to start getting rid of his car and stuff. I am going to try and pick up his built motor he has on an engine stand for hopefully a good price. So that may be next years plans with e85 and probably going to switch to speed density.

Re: Project DSM-NonGM
 

Figured I would just use my own thread vs starting a new one. But here is a few pictures from my dad's project so far. It is a FFR Daytona Coupe. It will be using a 5.0 from a 2013 or 2014 Mustang mated with a Tremec TKO600
