my last car was a 92 tsi with full 3'' exhaust and a underdrive pulley. but when i was driving it home one day the oil filter came loose and it blew up. now my question is does anybody know if swapping out the motor in my 94 gt would be faster than just rebuilding my eagle.

QUOTE(Silver94CelicaOwner @ Mar 2, 2006 - 1:41 AM) [snapback]401700[/snapback] I'm glad some people agree with me....I figured alot of people would tell me to shut up since the swap owns all around here.  Seriously though, i think alot of the DSM reliability gets a worse wrap than is neccesary. I have a shop called DSM Motorsports in my town here in New Jersey, and they do some sick stuff with the 4G63. I've seen alot of their cars and they run an EVO VIII as their shop car and have a 9 second Talon that I've heard alot of stories about. Definately a great and forgiving motor. I know a few guys with DSM's and they all say they love them. Never heard of any major problems from any of them except some loose and cracking vacuum lines on a 1g GSX and of course the common ECU defect. Definately rebuild the Talon, its a good inexpensive platform. the problem with those cars is that they have a great motor, with the worlds worst tranny, rear end and chasis build around it. as far as the reliablity, its pretty bad. i know at least 6 guys that have them, and they pop motors, and change synchros ever 6 months. dont get me wrong, i really love DSMs. they have a huge after market advantage over the 3sgte. you can get a dataloger for around 100bucks, and AFM remover, tons of turbo, exhaust , etc upgrades. its the cheapest, fastest car you can modify, but over time people get sick of having to fix things all the time and get rid of them . -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I'd say 5.0 fox bodies are definitely the cheapest, fastest cars you can modify This post has been edited by creamed_corn: Mar 2, 2006 - 1:20 PM |
