Just got some DSM goodness in the mail today

[wgknestrick]

All for my STI. Thanks to the DSM crowd for such a beautiful turbo. Now I have a lot of work to do to make it fit

HOLY POOP
That thing is amazing. Good luck with that. Really that thing isamazing

[272sWrx]

you have a custom dp for that?

[wgknestrick]

All part of the godspeed spec 650R kit. I am porting my TGVs now and will probably reverse the intake manifold since I broke an AC line yesterday. (AC comp needs to be removed to do this and alternator slid over to AC comp original position).

I rarely use it anyways, so I could save some weight, and do some hard work to decrease the IC tubing length drastically. I just hope my hood can close once it is all made.

If anyone close has a car trailer that would like to give me a small lift to Just Rite soon, please let me know. Surely a case of fine beer would be involved and probably a couple future rides once it is tuned.

I don't know if I can rig some temp tubing up so that I can drive my car there. Wait until Rex sees what he will be working on.

jeez...good luck, shes pretty...

[SilverBulletRL]

you and I have the same keyboard

All you need is the turbo now. I'd love to see what an ecotec makes with one of these, besides insane FWD burnouts.

[MuddyREX]

Holy huge turbo Batman!!!!!1!

Let me know on the Trailer Kevin. Acutally a guy I work with has a full car trailer, but he lives down by Maple Grove. If you can tow such a heavy trailer and can pick it up, then we are set.

Turbo BTW is a FP3065

I just wish that the damn Suby engines could make as much as the DSMs on it. Right now, the limit seems to be around 520-530whp on a Suby with this turbo, where a DSM is up around 600whp.

I also wish the cams for my car were as cheap as DSMs (4G63 cams =$300 for 2 sticks, STI Cams = $1000+ for 4sticks :thumbdow: ) STI heads also don't flow as much as JDM STI heads.

[M3_JOHN]

Jesus....530 whp?? That should still be plenty enough to get you in trouble.

Nice turbo, definitely one of the many I have considered for my next turbo.

I have a few questions though.

That turbo was designed as a bolt on to the DSM manifold, why not go with a true GT35R and a garrett flange since you will need to have a new manifold made anyway? The 3065 uses the smaller GT30R center housing and turbine wheel, I'd think by what your saying, the straight GT35R would have been a better option, which is why I am asking. I don't know subi's at all.

PS. the cheapest decent DSM cams I know of are FP's for about 450 for the pair. HK$ run around 600 for the pair if you can get them.

[wgknestrick]

This was part of a kit that fit everything I already have on the car, headers with special flange/FMIC piping. This kit also doesn't have a wastegate dump pipe as it is plumbed back in. All huge pluss-es to me

It was between this Godspeed Spec 650R kit and the Ultimate Racing GT35R kit as they were the only 2 kits to fit my headers.

I got this for $3200 while UR wants $3600 for theirs.

I don't think I am losing much if anything over a true GT35R kit either as they aren't putting any more power down, but spoll slightly slower (200RPM). Every "big" kit for the STI seems to stuck around 420+whp on pump and 500+whp on C16. There just isn't much variation between them as I think the restriction is left in the cams/heads at that point/ not the turbo.

The exhaust housing also is a work of art, not to mention very light compared to a cast iron piece. 5lbs is 5lbs.

I have a tough couple of weeks ahead of me with all the fabing to do, not to mention the porting. It is also about time to finally get my methanol/water injection working as my tuner finally has the plug-in harness and circuitry ready for my stand-alone ECU.

Awesome choice! You can't go wrong w/anything from FP.
My FP2s should be waiting for me at home tomorrow :D
Can't wait to see what she cranks out for you.

[brock]

thats a bad ass turbo all for one car.

[Driven]

All great reason's to go with FP, that's why I asked.

I wish you the best of luck with it.

How was your service with FP, I have heard nothing but great from them, but every opinion counts to me. I will be making a purchase with them very shortly.
