DSG 240 Updates

[driftstyre]

I just thought I would post a few pics of the splitter and airbox. A few other parts are being worked on now and in the next few weeks. The fuel system is getting a small revision, the gearbox is being switched to a T5 dogbox, wiring is being cleaned up and the rest of the underbody aero is being completed.

The splitter is made from 10mm alumalite material (for the weight it is incredibly stiff) and will be fastened by .45" titanium tubing/6mm bolts in 8 places. It goes back 4 feet from the front which ends up right behind the subframe.

Nice. Can't wait to see everything from the underside. Keep up the awesome work Bill. :bow:

[derek_s13]

saw this car at limerock raceway back in nov. spoke with you briefly. car is rifuckindiculous.

[IGSDann]

Kick ass Bill. It blew my mind when I saw your car on the cover of SCC, felt like just yesterday when I was gawking at it after I brought my All Trac in. I think I'll try to stop by soon and see your new shop, I just fixed my S14. Great work again man.

[mr_240sx]

wow looking sick! keep up the GREAT work!

[Boney]

I live 10mins from DSG. Great guys.. I'll be there sometime this week figuring out what standalone to go with. Nice article in SCC!!

[Quigs]

I agree! Excellent work, and it was great to see the car in SCC and at GT Live as well. Keep up the great work!

[wootwoot]

You guys should scrap that and make a tunnel!! Less drag and equal(or more) downforce if done proper! I wanna do it on my next car.

[Gavster]

looking great!! Keep the updates coming!

[Maximamike]

Bad ass as usual. Congrats on the magazine, picked it up the other night.

[johngriff]

I want to see the fuel system!

[punxva]

wow keep up the good work bill

[Unholy S14]

car will be awesome when its done.

[SoSideways]

Damn that car's front looks soooooooo mean now... :bigok:

ooo, i spy pooching. lol. sorry, i just love that term. the splitter/diffuser looks good. :bigok:

[S13FREEAAK]

Where did you get your alumalite from?

[PoorMans180SX]

I wanna see a full underside shot!

[driftstyre]

I got the aluminumalite from New England Sign Supply in Woburn.

Here is a shot of the recently finished bracing for the front. You can stand on it with very minimal deflection (1/8"). Completion of the brake ducts and maybe some canards will finish off the front and then the remaining underside panel will be cut this week.

driftstyre where abouts do you live i'm in woburn

[driftstyre]

Thanks Thatguy. Whats your name, I always feel awkward refering to you as "Thatguy":wavey:

Stephen,
Our shop is in Norwood, MA though I live in Newton. My business partner's GF is a teacher in Woburn.

[slideways2004]

how do you change the oil? take the underpanel off?

[corey240]

awsome job on the car bill! i just red the article in scc and it was good. you 2 should have a re-race next year on street tires lol

[wootwoot]

how do you change the oil? take the underpanel off?


Thats it. Not a big deal. Many cars come with under panels stock.

[MavericStephenc]

thats funn i just graduated woburn high last year whats her name.

[kevtrinh]

good job on the cover of sport compacct!

[paikman]

Awesome splitter design and exhaust mani.

[blackflag_Rms13]

That shit is awesome dude...

[CrazyIvan]

wow, IMO you have the best build EVER... DYI FTMFW

[rico05]

From the first time I visited DSG's webspace a while back, your S13 has been an inspiration. Seriously, it is simply astounding how far some folks are willing/able to take thier cars in the pursuit of perfection.

[driftstyre]

Thanks guys.

Stephen, her name is Meghan Carey, she teaches Math.

[Jonnie Fraz]

Just picked up the new Sport Compact...Congrats on spanking Autobacs. I love that kinda stuff.

[MavericStephenc]

thas funny i know her. so her husband works with you?

[McRussellPants]

lol at sport compact car saying you went 2 years without a girlfriend to do this when you did it all in 6 months.

[driftstyre]

6 months...hahaha
I think from start to finish it was 4 years...I wish I could do it in 6 months.

Stephen,
Her boyfriend is my business partner. He competes in time attack and time trials with an unlimited class (last year it was modified class) Evo II Lancer Evolution.

[MavericStephenc]

nasty ,mabye i should have paid more attention in her math class. thats a sick evo,by the way i go to norwood regularly my cusin goes to uti,mabye at some point would it be cool to stop by? i want to meet more poeple in the industry and such, it would also be good to make some friends

[driftstyre]

Stephen,
Thats fine if you want to stop by. We are open 9-5 m-f.

[driftstyre]

Just a few updates.
The fuel system has been modified a little bit with two LP pumps and two HP pumps. The surge tank has been increased in size and baffled. The wiring on the car has been cleaned up as I added a few things after the harness was originally completed the first time.
We've been really busy getting ready for the arrival of the dyno the last few weeks and I haven't really had too much time for the Maxi:(

The first event will hopefully be NHIS April 4th (I think). Matt Koestner is going to remap with 4 nozzle water injection, leaner mixture and more timing. The mapping now is very conservative, so...

Lookin gangster as usual, good stuff ;)

[yokotas13]

LOL at cannon plug usage!!!!

Best way to do it!!
good job on the progress man, i love it!

[PoorMans180SX]

Honestly my favorite S13 ever. Props!

[Maximamike]

Damn, you guys got a dyno now too? I gotta come check out the new place and the car again.

[PoorMans180SX]

Hey do the classes you run in allow variable valve technology? I was just thinking of a friendly recommendation. Why not put a SR20VE head on your SR? You obviously have the fabrication skills required. It would make the car even more of a beast. The VE head flows so much better and the valvetrain can withstand a ton more rpms. Guys on SR20forum rev theirs out to 9k daily. You have to use a FWD front cover, a VET CAS, and remote mount the VVL solenoids, but seems like all that would be easy for you. Maybe on the off season or something? Just my humble opinion.

[white97s14]

nice build =)

[driftstyre]

Thanks guys.

Mike, you should definitely come by. We are building a cell for the dyno now. Should be fully operational by this time next week.

Turbo711, maybe a good project for next winter. I've been hearing good things about the VE engines (we have a customer who rallies a SR20VE Sentra with SR16VE cams and makes very good power) There is so much to do before april now that I don't want to take on anything else. I mounted up the gearbox (bare with no internals) and am in the process of making the tubular chromoly shift linkage.

[O3DigitalBath]

Guys on SR20forum rev theirs out to 9k daily.

if I remember right the guys with soild lifters on normal det heads rev that high as well....MBV from XAT comes to mind.

[PoorMans180SX]

Not to jack the thread, but it won't be near as reliable with a DET. 9k isn't even trouble for a VE with springs/retainers. 10-11krpms is possible. Look up the head configurations, the VE is superior in valvetrain design and flow.

[driftstyre]

New plenum w/ 4 nozzle water injection and twice the volume.

[staygold24]

craziness. Went to 4 different places to find this mag. Yall's car looks amazing.

Interesting to hear about the ve head.

[Maximamike]

I sat in that exact seat today. But I didn't see the manifold.

[wootwoot]

I'm kind of disappointed about the water injection. Anyway I can talk you guys into using methanol? Water does hinder detonation but still takes away some power while methanol does not take any power away at all. All you have to do is use near the same setup but eliminate all rubber in the system; not that big of a deal.

[arkive43]

the s2k killer will eat again whats next? a vette? lol looks good.

[forum04pl]

dsg ftw... mad dryft stylez

[driftstyre]

Gearbox is almost complete and I am just waiting for the clutch discs. We'll be running the car in on the dyno in a week or so if everything goes to plan (it never does so it will probably be a couple of weeks).

I'd love to watch that.

[R33GTS-T]

any pics of the full belly pan??

congrats on the feature, the car is coming along really well. i hope to see you guys at some of the track events this season

[KidSaru]

Top notch work. Good luck.

All you have to do is use near the same setup but eliminate all rubber in the system; not that big of a deal.

Contrary to popular opinion, water injection allows you to make more power. You just have to use it sparingly and tune it right. It's not to fix a detonation problem, it's to raise the detonation threshold, allowing more boost to be run.

[wootwoot]

so what you just said is what I said/knew in different words...Water does take away power though. it just allows you to run more boost. But you dont understand what I mean.

on another note...How much did that tranny set you back??? Trick ass stuff. Any links to where you were able to pick it up from?

[Boney]

Just had some stuff done there (i live local) great guys good work.. wish i still had my s13. i'm having them tune my standalone after HIN.

[MavericStephenc]

bill,
looks like the build is comming along quite well,although i have a question. whatis the purpose of the water injection into the plenum? (sick plemum btw)

ps sorry i havenot been able to come down yet,been really busy up here.

it removes heat from the combustion chamber allowing more boost because of the lesser chance of detonation. Makes the head run sigificantly cooler really helping for long runs at full throttle.

[MavericStephenc]

doesnt that take from the amount of fuel going into the combustion chamber aswell? taking some performance?

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Love the car love the build!
