    6M Crank

    exactly right jeffery. the 89 with square motor mounts are almost guaranteed to have the 6m cranks. the late 89's with the newer round mounts are almost guaranteed to have the 7M cranks. and yeah, both cranks are balanced, but not completely COUNTER balanced. the 7M is just supposed to run...

    What should I use to clean my shortblock

    if your oil pump drive shaft bearings are in Like-new shape, like some ar... you dont need to hot tank it. hot tanking will add more costs to teh build than necessary. you can just clean it all out with bore brushes and straight Purple Power cleaner. that stuff works pretty damn good. you could...

    18s? 17s? Input on either appreciated...

    17's should have been on the MK3 stock. 18's would be a real upgrade over the 17's. honestly, the MK3 should have had the TT rims from the factory, instead of the weaksauce sawblades or 5-stars. the 5-stars are far lighter than sawblades, i dig them for that fact... but 16's still leave quite a...

    6M Crank

    the 6M and 7M are both balanced... i dont know why dude man said that the one is fully balanced and the other isnt..the 7M has double counterweights to smooth out the harmonic vibrations over the 6M crank. the 6M crank is something like 9 or 10lbs lighter than the 7M gimmick. some early 89's had...

    Do your pistons come out of the block?(pics)

    so wait, spec is like 0.010" above the deck on an unshaved motor? cuz i have 0.017" taken off my deck. the fire rings on the stock HG really did a number on my block. its got a HKS 2.0mm on it now, and the cylinder head isa bout shaved to its service limit. i guess i got some serious...

    DSM gets owned to the highest degree of ownedness

    roger, thats what my friend kevin (starion ESi-R GT47+sand) was telling me. he said it was a nitrous backfire that blew the rail out of the head and then started the fire. Karma is a motha fucka... it comes back around. i was friends with bill, rene and brad. i still like brad, he never did...

    DSM gets owned to the highest degree of ownedness

    yeah, its pretty gay really. i just talked to one of my friends who still lives in toledo. he said he was at the track and was cheering. he has a sick nasty Starion w/ an Aussi MPI setup and SDS efi and a GT37R. he was building a motor for his car at their shop, and somehow a bunch of sand...

    http://forums.clubsi.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=5312256&an=0&page=0 a little back story. this is a race car campaigned by a DSM shop that i used to be close with. They are Showdown Motorsports and are primarily DSM guys. but they will do honda swaps and misc paint and body as well as...

    cylinder head porting theories... and such

    so, yeah, after the fuel is introduced into the intake path, you need to have a rough surface so that it creates enough turbulence so that the fuel does not regroup and fall out of the airstream. when you port the head, you want to go no smoother than a 40grit sanding roll. or a sand cast...

    tuned exhaust manifold volume

    i was just thinking... you know how an intake manifold is supposed to be of a specific design to optimize cylinder filling and efficiency? like, the intake plenum volume is supposed to be anywhere from 50% to 75% of the total engine's displacment? it essentially acts as a big resivoir of air for...

    cylinder head porting theories... and such

    i may just try to run some mixed HKS cams, like 264 and 272 and not try to rev to high. i dont want the power to peak too far up there, obviously. but the longer i can stay in gear, the faster i will be. i still have to sell my red supra and put my black supra together as my DD. then i have...

    cylinder head porting theories... and such

    1J, im going for maybe a 7500rpm rev limit, that the most. i want a 3.3L. if i cant get it going all bore, ill have to stroke some and may just rev to 7000 for saftey's sake. ill probably keep stock length runners and larger intake plenum. ill probably use the manifold i have now if no one...

    cylinder head porting theories... and such

    hey hal, typically, the valve seats are actually milled out to fit the valves, then ground w/ stones on 3 angles. sometimes, the valve seats are cut w/ a milling bit which already has the 3 or 5 angles on it for the new diameter. so the valve seat is automatically enlarged for the proper size...

    Turbo A ECU

    yeah, you may want to just put the map sensor onto the stock boost guage wiring. then splice the boost guage sensor signal wire nto the karmann signal wire for the ecu. that way, the stock karmann signal wire fong to the ECU will carry the 5v pressure signal to the ECU with minimal hassle...
