Sounds like a solid mod list, John. When is this beast going to be completed?
So, is the meth injection going to be direct port? What size pump and nozzle are you going to use?

Thant's a good size list! I've been seeing alot of S.I.M stuff lately, axles etc. and heard it had something to do with The dsmgraveyard, any truth to this, or are they completely different?

Wow I totally forgot I started a thread here.. I went with direct port but I didn't do enough research and I need a 50 dollar solenoid which I refuse to buy when I can just relocate it like 6 inches away be fine so I re plumbed it into my TB elbow. I am having problems with the fluid running back onto my gm maf causes CRAZY spikes in airflow.. So I have anohter 2g elbow I am going to plumb it in higher. Like 2 inches from the flange. I am some boost leaks that I am addressing. The threads for the magnus SMIM suck and I started to pull one of them out and that caused a boost leak.
Car has 2000 miles on it. I DD the car 30 miles to work. I was depressed driving my 1g every where(even though I was squeezing 30 mpgs!!). I am at 20 psi trying to get a good tune but the stroker hates knock and my boost leaks cause the tune to change so much because it is after the gm maf.
The axles are super hard to make. They cost alot of over head and we have kinda put that off. They are the same "core axle" but we machine them different that jon and they go through different finalizing of the metal than jon was doing.
Jon @ the graveyard and us @ SIM used to be great freinds but this business has put us at a hard position. Allen has actaully talked to Jon about becoming sort of a joint deal where he builds em and we install em. I don't know if it will ever go anywhere.
But I love the shop. It makes life so much easier with 3 lifts and a machine shop/welder/torch. I am getting sick of working on hondas and Audis though... I want something fun with big power numbers to work on.

60mm 7 blade hx40 is on and if I can find some decent stock wheels I might make it to the track one more time. I think the suspect for the shaking is my wheels are bent or there that out of balance. I can feel it in the clutch pedal but it is speed related and not rpm based.. Makes me think something in the front. replacing upper ball joints this weekend and I think I am going to get a new axle for the front pass. The boot recently ripped.

John, if you're still rockin those red lipped wheels, they're bent to shit. Didn't I show them to you when I balanced them?

So I am starting all over with a different shell. I bought a 95 tsi shell from grand haven area with an lsd rear end and a fuel cell. I am going to put my TRE tranny and stroker in it. Major weight reduction is going into this car but it WILL be a full interior car. Just alot of unneeded stuff taken out. I will need to get pics up. I am 2gb talon swapping it. I bought a 98 esi parts car for the bumpers.

Post by SPOOLD on Nov 25, 2010 20:57:57 GMT -5
what offset are those?

Post by viperlp01 on Nov 26, 2010 7:07:21 GMT -5
+35 offset. I have looked at i guess you would call them calculators that tell how much spacing you have on the inside and outside. 235 should it fine but the 245 will be close and will require a rolled fender.
