Build your Dream DSM...
 

If you haven't done this... well you probably aren't a true DSMer.

Keep this realistic, but pretend money isn't an object for the most part.

Evo boys... this thread doesn't apply to you! :D

then the other obvious basic mods...

I thought you said money is no object. I think you can do better than Megan racing parts, LIPP O2 housing, Innovate LC-1, and stock internals. :)

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

Yea, well, that is *my* dream set up... it might not be a 700whp build...

but it is reliable, basic, and good street power IMO. :D

Edit - I agree with you on Megan Racing parts... but I love their DSM exhaust parts, they are nice pieces IMHO. Also why are you hating on stock internals?? You think that set-up is gonna be pushing 500 AWHP on your dyno? I think not, so stock internals should do. ;)

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

Those injs and fuel pumps are too big for the HTA68. A single pump setup would be much more reliable.

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

you just about listed my 2g build to the item. It is a good setup, would suggest the 2.3 though. Works well.

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

Munch stage 5 long block (thing could handle 1 million awhp ;)). Not sure what would be in it, but it'd be amazing!

FP exhaust mani
FP dsm 82hta
Side exit exhaust
Built auto w/billet converter
Direct port nitrous with a nice big shot
Full interior
Some slicks

And a tune from Shane!

Straight E99 Homie

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

Eff that, this is a dream set up. E311 for me. :D

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

haha no suspension mods? You'd think you'd want a little more power if you're not going to make the thing turn ;)

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

You still aren't going to need twin pumps or 1350s. I am just giving you shit though. :)

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

Well I almost put the suspension set-up as KYB / AGX, but I figured someone would destroy me on that *cough* shane *cough*.

Obviously there are better set-ups, but this build is realistic for the most part money wise to me. Something I have been dreaming about for a while. Someday, someday...

TT lsx
robispec/KW suspension
T-56
AWD.

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

LOL! I like that, money and fabrication skills were not a problem in this build... reliable.

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

whats not reliable?

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

Oh lol, I didn't mean reliable in the sense of car functionality. I meant it as in that is a sick ass build and would take sick skills to accomplish.

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

Here's my dream set up. Well the set up iam going for at the moment.

2g mas
Scm61
850cc
Walbro 255
Ets street front mount
3 inch turbo back custom made
4 puck unsprung xtd clutch
L19 headstuds

I want to see what a bone stock motor can put out with stock cams and stock intake manifold.

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

Not much on pump gas.

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

I was thinking e85. What size injectors do you think I should go with? I thought 850s would be big enough.

Re: Build your Dream DSM...
 

^ Ditch the SCM61 and get something smaller / newer. Will make as much power and be much better for you on the street. SCM61 is a dino turbo bro.
