DSM 6&7 bolt differences

Re: DSM 6&7 bolt differences
Nah, the Colt doesn't weigh enough to bring out the massive driveline deficiencies of the transmission, and if the wiring isn't up to snuff I'll make him go standalone and construct a vehicle harness out of spare Honduh loom. At that point, there is nothing wrong with his Mitsu I can think of.

You can run 1g rods in a 2g 7bolt crank/block, the wrist pin diameter on a 6bolt rod is 21mm, it must be enlarged to 22mm 7bolt size. thats it.

Re: DSM 6&7 bolt differences
thanks guys for clearing up the 1g/2g head flow thing, cause that's what i always thought too, but my friend who's been obsessed with dsms since he was 15 (is 20 now) convinced me that through extensive research it was determined that 2g heads themselves are better.
i'll have to correct him.
Is it just because the ports are larger on 1g heads? Is the shrouding of the valves as large an issue on both heads? Some more info would be great, I like dsms despite their pitfalls.

JD's right, the 4g63 is a badass engine, but everything attached to it blows. The truth about the trannys is that there isnt a problem with them. Its the cars that are too heavy, even stock to be anything more than a pain in the ***. You have to consider, the w5m33's and F5m33's were designed for the evo and cyborg, neither comes close to the wet weight of a dsm. Yeah there was a problem with the blocking rings in the early cars, but thats just mitsu cutting corners like they always do...
