400 is a good number, gonna be quick!



In a perfect world I hope to get at least 500 out of her

You can easily do 500, especially since you're running front wheel drive.  I'm going for 400 because any more than that and I really have to start worrying about blowing transfer cases and rear ends since I'm running AWD.  I don't need insane amounts of power, I don't plan on racing it really, just a good kick in the pants and the joy of blasting every other car at a stop light is all I need.

Sounds to me like it'll kick my car's ass for at least a while. This summer I'm just focusing on my engine and transmission swap and some brakework. Are you going with the John Shepherd dog box or a staged reconditioning?










It's not gonna be done for a while, so I would say your car will kick ass first



I'm probably gonna go with the stage 2 FWD reconditioning. It's got the LSD


It'll kick ass first, but I'm not going to be building it anywhere near the sort of power you're after.  I was going to shoot for 400hp and call it at that.  I'm just doing bolt ons with this car

That's right! always stay on the possitives, even if it's a lot of work and you're tired of it, just picture what it WILL be and that's all you need.

DSM eh? Fantastic choice. Are you running an AWD or FWD? What have you done to it so far?










"Running" is a poor choice for a word, lol. "Sitting", is more like it It's a FWD. I bought it really before I knew anything about DSM's. Started learning more about em, as well as looking deeper into what had been "done" to the car. Ya, I got had in a big way I haven't really done anything to it persay, other than strip the interior and get the motor ready to be pulled. Hopefully I will make some progress this summer. I noticed you have a Talon. Mods?

No mods, just like yours my AWD talon is sitting.  I had to drain all the fluids today because it was dumping oil and transmission fluid all over my driveway.  It's waiting for an engine swap, up until this point the only mods it had were a 6-bolt swap and a K&N filter.  I'm doing a JDM 6-bolt swap with yellow top injectors, high flow fuel pump, and possibly a 5-speed conversion next month.  Beyond that, the plan is an Apexi N1 turbo-back system and loads of body work.  What are the plans for your DSM?
