So, I'm trying to figure out what to spend my paycheck on, brakes and clutch or megasquirt?

LOL, how bad are the brakes and clutch?

Looks great. That picture is proof that your wheels can look really good, if they were a lighter gunmetal rather than the matte black or whatever they are. Very nice though, much nicer than my pos. I think you should spring for the m20 clutch fly setup, and get a nice strong m20 heavy duty clutch. If the car is drivable day to day, I would just get everything else setup, then start throwing money back into the turbo build.

Not too bad.

Clutch isn't slipping real bad and brakes are about halfway.

Their better than I thought they were.

Corvette killer.

Once Todd finishes my MS I can run 12 psi, I probably won't but I might try it for shits and giggles.

Now comes the difficult part.

I'm very impressed with Todd and DTM in general, they're quality guys.

I will buy from them again.

I agree with Danny all the way, Todd is the man. I have ordered a butt load of stuff from him for my build. He is also great on advice. Are we all running about the same setup?
Stock M42 motor
good and tight manifold
t3/t4 turbo
Custom built pnp MS by Todd
looking to run around 8-12psi
Any more pics of other builds?

Danny707 · « **Reply #204 on:** February 26, 2009, 10:45:03 PM »

This is with a modified M50 manifold, but basically the same.

gsxrcop · « **Reply #205 on:** February 27, 2009, 08:11:49 PM »

Forgot to ad the M20 clutch kit and lightened flywheel from Todd also. Is it just us 3?

Danny707 · « **Reply #206 on:** March 01, 2009, 12:26:37 AM »

I guess so.

My buddy and I fixed the mess under the intake, no more vacuum leaks ftw.

Also installed a catch can.

It's good to see other young fellers out there messing with m42's.
I won't be boosting till next year thou, but heres the test bed:

Mines only a dedicated track car, but it means i dont have to worry about reliabilty or keeping road legal

Let me know when you get some m42 mega squirt maps. Im going to need those when i boost/Mega Squirt too!

Keep up the good work

Danny707 · « **Reply #208 on:** March 01, 2009, 09:22:28 PM »

Tglazier on this forum uploaded his exact timing map to my m42.

Todd is a great guy.

Catch can in.

From valve cover breather:

To catch can, other hose goes to throttle body.
