DSM, Fast, Reliable in the same intro. I about lost my breakfast on that one! DSM=Daily Service Maintenance. This is chock full of memberberries! I had a 1995 Talon TSi AWD back in 2006ish making around 440hp to the tire. Haltech standalone (using DOS!), 25 lbs on a PTE SCM-61, 880cc injectors, 6 bolt swap with 90 big rods, JE pistons .040 over bore, Cyclone intake, comp 272 cams. Tokiko 5 way adjustables, Baer big brake kit riding on some Volk GTC's. Crank walk, boost leaks, popped couplers, fried piston rings, cracked manifolds, always something, but she was my first love. John Shepherd was our DSM hero! Got fed up with the nagging from my ex-wife and sold it...then got rid of her too. Should have got rid of her first.

[@Tea_1745]

Exactly! You can always get another women but finding another clean dsm is a needle in a haystack!

[@randoawesomemix9501]

The crank walk and cracked manifold were your fault. So were the popped couplers. You gotta upgrade when pushing more boost and laying on the throttle CONSTANTLY.

[@celestialknightsffxiv6566]

You crank walked a 6 bolt block...I have questions - as that was the split collar thrust that failed on 7 bolts, not on 6 bolts.

[@mikescherrer4923]

Crank walk is caused by bad engine building. A tiny percentage of 7 bolt cars crank walk. Very, very few 6 bolts. It's really not a thing. LS engines have just as many thrust bearing issues as 4g6x engines.

30:00 having done a BBK similar to this. The holes in the rotors are larger than the studs so there is a gap & play, meaning the rotor will slam into the stud, then start braking. I'd suggest finding a small enough diameter metal tube that fits over the new stud & between the rotor then cutting them to fit the gap. For the kit I did 1320 Performance actually sold a "limited" run of stainless-steel inserts.

Loved the DSM Talon/Eclipse AWD 2.0 Litre turbo cars from the nineties. I use to own a 90 Eagle Talon TSi AWD that was modified from stock. I changed the whole exhaust system from turbo back with a 3 inch stainless steel mandrel Buscher Racing exhaust. Boost controller, upgraded fuel pump, fuel injectors, ACT clutch, upgraded intercooler pipes, blow off valve and so forth. Car stayed stock appearance wise, except if you saw the exhaust system from the back of the car. Loved the power it made to all 4 wheels when accelerating. Surprisingly, I did get great fuel economy close to stock when driving it normally. I did get 389,000 kilometres on the original engine and turbo. Miss that car.

[@DSM_Josh]

When working with brakes if you want to stop the fluid from leaking out, use a brake pedal depressor to hold the brake pedal down and the brake fluid will not constantly leak out. You’ll of course get some fluid initially leaking, but it’ll stop. I used to do it all the time when messing with the brake system on various types of vehicles.

[@Dwigt_Rortugal]

I use the ghetto plastic bottle and fuel line method. But I'm definitely going to search up brake pedal depressors. I like Alex's vacuum method, though.

[@DSM_Josh]

@@Dwigt_Rortugal I meant when swapping brake hoses, calipers or anything like that where there the brake fluid is going to constantly leak out, you can stop most of that from happening by depressing the brake pedal while working on the system. While bleeding the vacuum bleeder does work well, but I’ve found a good pressure bleeder works better.

[@terryross1754]

Alex, as an engineering QA/QC person, I know from many years experience, thread failures, and tests, that ALL threads should be very clean and lightly lubricated - i.e. enough to remove dry friction from the thread surface. The torque you apply to a stud or bolt is intended to extend the stud/bolt within it's elastic limit, and apply longitudinal pressure to the mating surfaces. If the threads are dry, or even lightly contaminated with corrosion or dust etc., it will affect the accuracy of the torque you apply. Another issue with dry/dirty/corroded threads is the creation of micro-stress cracking over time. Both issues can cause either under-tightening or rupture of the thread. The reason that this is not a very frequent failure issue, is because the threads, bolts and studs are typically over-designed to account for poor use (mainly over-tightening of corroded wheel bolt/stud threads). But there are limits. Better safe than sorry.

[@glynnepritchard2526]

As an Engineer you do not lube to any extent bolts or studs that are on moving parts, especially wheel studs, they can work loose.

[@terryross1754]

@@glynnepritchard2526 If threads can work loose they are either not correctly torqued, or in need of a locking mechanism. I am not suggesting the use of special low-friction lubricants, just a few drops of light machine oil. Whenever I visit a tyre shop, I see many cases of bone-dry & corroded nuts/bolts & studs on cars/vans, being removed/refitted using unregulated airguns. And if they use a torque wrench they sometimes go way past the 'stop' indicator. It works until it fails.

Manufacturing QA/QC personnel are indeed normally in a 'captured' situation (e.g. Boeing ?), but not all QA/QC activity is limited by directives from engineering.

I worked at MMSA (Mitsubishi Motors Sales America) from 96 to 97. It's funny looking at this engine. The front of the engine is on the drivers side as all FWD Mits had until the 97 model year. The Mirage as I remember was the first car that the engine was flipped and the front of the engine was on the passenger side. I asked engineers why they did that and I was told it makes it quieter for the driver with all the belts and pulleys on the passenger side. I am sure there is a more engineering answer though. You mentioned the different impedience injectors on Turbo and Non-Turbo engines. Remember that all turbos were a 2.0L Mitsubishi Engine. The Non Turbo was a 2.0L Dodge engine used also in the Dodge Neon. Mits had so many warranty problems with the Dodge engine. I remember when they introduced the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse and all models used a Mitsubishi Made engine all the employees cheered.

51:45 Yes I am of the same mind set. I put a set of smaller type turbos on my car instead of a huge big boy and I am SO glad I did that. The low down torque is SO MUCH FUN!

It's just bragging rights. And I don't care about top speed I like the PULL from DOWN LOW!

[@michaelallen2501]

Typically, you adjust coilovers the opposite of what you did. The lower shock body adjustment is to dial in the compressed and extended ratio (2/3 of travel for compression and 1/3 for extension) and the upper adjustment is for ride height. Which will not affect spring rate, especially with linear rate springs.

The wheel poke is the reason we offset the CTSV calipers inward by reducing the boss height instead of spacing the rotors. PS I also never got rid of the V, I liked it on my DSM and just painted the rear brakes on the same silver paint.
