RWD DSM's are failure served with a warm side of fail.

all im providing for this is a motor and some seat time...shits just lying around so why not put it to use.

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

What chassis are you putting it in? a D33A?

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

nope looking to score a cheap s13 or fc to put it in. the only thing is finding a trans. dont have a wideblock so the mazda r-series is out that leaves us with a gm th variant/pwrglide or the w56-58 toyota trans with the custom bellhousing. then theres the mount fab and all that ----. the motor is getting built as we speak but were still unsure on what chassis we want to use

Eh. I used to have a ---- buddy with a white FD rx7, it never ran right, and she ended up selling it to my brother, who promtly sold it to some race shop up north. It now has a 700+hp 4g63/64 under the hood.

I'm guessing thats the white one that MAPerformance did...http://www.maperformance.com/gallery/index.php?list=19

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

Yup. Same car. I spent too much time under the hood of that bitch. :3

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

car is tits saw it at buschurs shootout last year and its actually what made me decide to try a rwd setup...might try something like it but not going as big maybe a bw s200 to get used to the rwd setup. im gonna miss my awd though

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

No, you wont.

In a straight line awd<fwd<rwd

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

I highly disargee but opinions are like assholes...everyone has one.

So that RX7 is owned by a chick?

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

well most of the kids around me spend mommy and daddys money and get 5.0's :3 thats why i liked my awd none of them can drive even the one with a built 306,vortech s-trim, meth inj. and cheater slicks i think his personal best was in the 14's or somethin (my slushbox dsm on a 20g went 13.6 stuck in 3rd gear the whole way down the track)

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

I spent a lot of time at the dragstrip before I formed that opinion. It has basis in reality.

And no, the car is currently owned by a shop. It used to belong to a chick I was banging at the time.

Got back from the dsm shootout and the dsm breakage was almost unheard of there.Besides a couple of axles and tranfer cases it went well.I think its a sign for dsm owners to buy lottery tickets..... O0

That had to be one non-driving m'fucker right there...

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

Betcha that was due to knock, not a motor problem. A good solid tuning solution is what most 1st and 2nd gens lack. At least the newest 4g63t platforms have one hell of an ecu to tune with.

Carolina dsm local.

They're not all bad, especially if you can drive one. IMO, something about them drifting doesn't look right for me but they're drifiting civics and tegs (FWD) on the d1 gran prix jdm fAf tite yo! series just as good as some of the rwd crowd.

************************************************** ***************************************

The people telling me to shut up...suck a dick. You dont maintain your dsm and it WILL fall apart. I dont care what engine you have under the ------- hood. 1.8, 2.0 4g63, 2.0 4g63t, 2.4 420a, 2.0 420a, or 2.4 4g64......

You drive like a douche or let someone else drive your car prepare for the worst. Lower control arms on 2g's are known for breaking at the worst possible times and if you have an mbc and said someone else knows where it is.....bye motor.

Now I just a mani to transplant the new turbo in there, plumb it, wire it, and install the FMIC and piping, as well as take care of some other maintenance issues. It's getting there.

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

is that a GSX or GST

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

get a galant alternator they push more amperage sir. i believe they are... 60-80 dont quote but from what i've heard.

i love my galant nigs! i beat the ---- out of it haha non turbo awd but things will be different soon :y

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

Saturn alternator swap if you are needing to replace the old one. A bit cheaper and near 100 amps. Not too many modificiations to make it fit.

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

GSX

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

I wish I had know that sooner. About a 1,000 miles before it died, the alt. went out and I just spent $125.00 on a stock remani and it is rated at 45amps. WTF

What saturn atl is rated at 100 amps?

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)

They aren't 100, 96ish I think is what my paperwork said.

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

That was a really good article. Thank you for that aero. DSM alternator are so under powered it's ridiculous. I have a tiny little 200 watt amp and I'm always getting an intermittent MIL. P1500 generator terminal malfunction. http://www.kawiforums.com/images/smi.../thumbdown.gif

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

I used a 180sx alternator on my evo 2, fit in pretty well no major problems, was rated at 95 amps i believe, and was dirt cheap, i know you guys don't get 180's but im sure any alternator on an sr20 would have similar fitment. Just another option.

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

Looking good who's hot ass is that?

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

No problem. I never really had problems with mine not putting out enough. I think they are actually a 65 amp IIRC. Mine burned out and figured I might as well upgrade while I was at it.

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

Yeah we need more pics of her.

Re: DSM shit the bed, who's placing bets? (3 options)
 

I don't know what I did with the other one's but I've posted frontal pics of her before.
