Sorry to hear you're getting out.  I know how these cars can suck the money right out of you, though.  I guess, now you can help Cory build his turbo Ranger wink.gif

I remember when I first got into DSM's, I was just planning on an exhaust, an intake, and a mbc.  Ha.

I don't know what your thinking Nate, but I was thinking a single 14b at 7psi nonintercooled would suit him pretty well for the way he drives. The only thing I'd like to see would be a 7cm housing on her.

As for you plans, well mine were about the same. I had intended on using a 14b to turbo my car and only to spend $1000 at most. We see where that went. It seems the longer your car sits the bigger your plans get.

Sounds like a good plan. Might wanna opt for an intercooler anyway considering how cheap you can buy DSM smic's for. I imagine he may see some creep with 3 liters of Ford V6 muscle pushing on a little 14b. An intercooler would help keep the temp down if this happens.

So why are you giving up on the DSM?

When you say the car is eating you alive, you mean it costs too much to repair/maintain?

Why do all of your projects seem to cost more than you expected? Does the added HP stress the rest of the car too much?

I've got a lot of bills in general and the car needed lots of cash to be thrown at it(struts, springs, tires, rims, rotors, etc).

My projects always went well when I worked on her, I had just done to many and sunk myself into debt to do them. I wasn't in over my head, as I was getting out, but it would have been a year before I was clean and by then I'd like to have a house.

There will undoubtedly be another project car starting in a year or so. I can already feel the modgremlines biting.

What would you like to shoot it with? 300whinchester mag? .308? (7.62X54)7.62X34? .3030? .223?44mag? .40sw 9mm or .22? I have access to 8mm mauser and .357/.38 mag as well. Id recommend shooting it from a considerable distance with anything you try. I was on the recieving end of a 41mag that fragmented, caught some in the thigh and knee, kinda felt like a hot knife as I recall.
