  • How many people on Fargostreet have a DSM?

       I would like to see what the actual percentage of people on here have DSM's.

  • Have you had added a bigger turbo to your vehicle?

      I will be adding a 16g to my car in the near future (the money is coming Tufte) and everyone is telling me I will get sick of it after awhile.  Just would like to know how you like your set-up and how you wish you would hae done something different.

  • How is your transmission doing?

      Mine is acting like a smelly pirate hooker right now and it will be rebuilt by shep this summer.  Right now the plan is for a standard rebuild and maybe cryo freezing it too but I was wondering what have you other DSM people done to remedy this awful problem of shitty transmissions.  (My car is AWD)

  • For you 1gA DSmers what rear-end are you using?

       1gA's come with the 3-bolt rear-end which is said to not be able to handle as much power as the 4-bolt but I have not been able to find a definite answer to how much it really could handle.

  • Is there anything else that seems to go out on these machines that I should maybe take a look at?

       I know the transfer case can cause some problems but at what hp does it start doing this?  I will be drag racing the car this year so I would like a heads up to some possible problems that may come my way.  I am hoping to get well into the 12's but who knows what will happen.

    I dont think I will make enough hp to break it so I am not worried too much.

    I checked that site out and found a tuner for dsm's that is close-by. Sweet.

    from 92 to 99, dsm's have 4 bolt rear ends. Late 92 to 99 dsm's have 7 bolt motors.
    I had a big 16g. I hated it, I wanted bigger.

  • I have a 97 GSX.

  • I run a large Forced Performance turbo, the FP3065

  • Current transmission is great, it's as far from stock as you can possibly get, so my info isn't much good for your situation.

  • You can run the 3 bolt rear end for quite a while as long as you're careful with it. When I had a 1G a few years ago, I broke a rear axle on the street with only a MBC, filter, 3" turbo back, and centerforce clutch. It's all about how you launch the car.

  • Just like someone said, be prepared for that car to break the bank!!

    I think going with a 50 trim would be too big of a step right now. There are more parts that I would need in order to run a 50 trim over the 16g. I will probably end up going to a 50 trim after this summer is over but it will be a slow progression because of the additional parts that are needed.

    I think that my rear-end should be fine because I don't think I will get even close to 11.2 pass at the track. The only thing really holding back my car that is major right now is that damned transmission.

    Thanks for the help guys.

    Another question I think you could answer it for me Kevin. If I buy one of SLS's manifolds for my 16g could I re-use it once I get my 50 trim?

    The 50 trim is the new Big 16g. Spoolup isn't drastic, power is great. Good street turbo.

    You can use your stock manifold, just get it ported. If your going with a tubular manifold, check out straight garett turbos and have a manifold flanged for t3/t4 (instead of a mitsu hybrid).

    The parts needed for a big16 are almost the same as a 50... you'd need:

    Injectors
    Fuel Pump
    Fuel Control (AFC)
    Front Mount and Piping
    Blow Off Valve

    50 you need oil line kit...

    I'm trying to think if there is anything else.... maybe a fuel pressure regulator

  • 91 RS FWD Auto
  • Ported 14b w/external
  • Auto....what can I say...no missed shifts. And no need to lift.
  • Stock solid rear with crossbar. Adding a rear sway next week.
  • Hard pipes, MBC, 3" Turbo-back out the side, K&N, free mods, pics soon

    • Bad93EX: Hate to tell you but 3-bolts are known to start breaking with low-12 to high 11-sec cars. Which a 14b is more than capable of. Comes down to clutch and launching softly.
