It allows you to remove the maf and vent the bov. I ran low 12s with one back in the day. I was using one recently again until I went ecmlink. They still work great for a mildly modded car!

It’s the old school way to go speed density back in the day before ecm link came out. Would run this setup with afc controller and chip for injectors. The car it was in made 480 in its hay day of Dsming

Getting there

I went for a quick first drive on #speeddensity. The car drove surprisingly good. I did one third gear pull till I noticed the knock light wasn’t happy. My wideband factor was pretty close at 99 VE but I was getting a ton of knock with the...

Goodbye MAF. I installed my freshly welded intake elbow and air temp sensor. I used an intake pipe I found in the classified with an eBay cone filter. I also swapped out the factory BOV for a blitz unit. I had a similar one on my last dsm so I...

I started tearing the engine down to take the head to machine shop, do all timing related stuff, install 20g, 2g exhaust manifold (still have to port and polish it), install 1200cc injectors and hopefully get the DSMLink set up and tune the car.

I bought a 20g turbo, valve cover, forge bov, dsm link v3, 2g maf. Still have not decided if I am going to run maf or speed density but the maf was super cheap so I went ahead and bought it.

So I'm taking my best guess at this after searching for a good diagram but to no avail. But is this correct stud and large bolt placement for the 1g intake manifold?

Drove my hooptie for the first time in 8 months yesterday. Fresh HG, mild porting, rings, rod bearings, comp cams, v3, 16g/7cm, new radiator. Hoping to drive her more than work on her for a while.

First drive was a success. I drove her for about 25 miles. Engine temps stayed good and no weird sounds or smells once the initial burn off concluded. Of course she had to troll me with one more leak. This time my adapter for the vdo oil pressure...

When trying to get my 1g started after my rebuild and I was getting a bad fuel leak no matter how hard I tightened the flare nut on the “various mfg” PF8164 (PF5114) filter I bought from RockAuto.com. I believe it was a Purolator. So I tried a...

Put a fresh water pump gasket on since I botched the gasket the first time around. I didn’t have the radiator in so I couldn’t leak test it the first try. Used some fresh bolts from Jmztuning. The belt took me too many tries to get tensioned...

I first met Joe in Tampa when I lived there almost 25 years ago. I remember racing against him at Bradenton in my previous DSM. His and Turbo Tom’s podcast and videos are the main reason I bought another DSM. I’ve been so gutted to hear this...

@pieceofcloth is a very very generous guy and I, myself, can't thank him enough either!

Thank you to @pieceofcloth for generously sending me a timing tensioner bolt since I couldn’t find mine. Got my belt on and tensioned after three tries. Hopefully I’ll be back together by the end of the month.
