Anyone have their DASC installed yet?

[DustenT]

I'm just curious if anyone that participated in the group buy got their DASC installed yet? First impressions? Please share with everyone how the installation went, if you had any problems and how it feels now compared to stock.

I think there has been a couple of post from people who have gotton it installed. I don't recall names but there was one or two people.

i just started mine 2day,im in the middle of it,its not to bad but i had to polish the inside of the dasc manifold the castings were very rough.and the supercharger bolts were a drilled to close to the supercharger so i had to dremil them out a little so i could fit the torque wrench on them.and i decided to clen the fuel injectors out they were very dirty. some im in to it about 7 hours so far,im going to try and finish up 2maro,but im just takeing my time so i dont have to do anything over,but it really isnt that bad pretty straight forward.

Honestly, it doesnt feel like im going to fast but i know i am cuz the rpms are climing quicker. It doesnt feel like it but i am, i was just ripping it up for a good 30 mins. Testing it and what not. I went to a lot of places that i drive daily and tested when i climb hills and what not. But yea for sure its more power. I love the sound my car is making. Its making a different kind of sound that i have heard of (from ppl with the dasc). When im driving normal shifting at 4k rpms it sounds like its stock, when i throttle it, that noise pops in, i love the sound. I had heads turn to my car when they heard the sound. The CEL light came on, im thinking because that DISA sensor isnt plugged in?

I need to remove the governor cuz when i hit 120 it felt like my engine stopped working. I guess it stopped giving fuel. On the gauge, it stays on the vac. side and doesnt jump over to the psi side, why?

After driving it for a while, i started smelling burnt but the temp was in the middle. I open the hood and noticed a little bit of oil on the engine cover. Not sure if when my dad did the oil change a lil fell on it or its coming out from somewhere. Tommorow morning i will dry up the engine cover and when i get to school, im going to open the hood again to see if more oil came out again.

I need to see how much power im pushing so im going to race my cousin again. Last time we raced we were dead even, so i just want to compare how much farther and faster im getting at now.

Next im going to track time it and do a dyno when theres a dyno day. I hope i am hitting 190 torque or 190 rwhp as some people get it. If its 190 rwhp, how much is that in HP like the dealership announces? Ex. M3 is 240 hp but at the wheels its like 196 or something like that?

Anyway, im happy with it and who knows what ill do next with the TI.

P.S. You guys still pissed off at meh?

I woke up open the hood and cleaned the engine cover. When i got to school, i opened the hood and it looks like their was a little bit of oil splash on top of the spark plug cover?

When i was driving it, it felt to me like the car is still stock. Im not sure if im just not noticing it or what. Im not sure if this helps but the vac. reads 18 when idle. Im not sure if the car is stock, the vac. will also read 18? I assume it's on correctly or else how would i be able to drive the car around. As for the boost, it doesnt read at the psi side at all. Ill take a picture of where we did the bypass for the tube. Well hopefully ill get to dyno it soon and well see if its just not me not noticing. Or maybe i just have to get used to it more. Ill find out for sure when i leave from school and i climb the daily hill. (im at school now)

Definitely sounds like you don't have it setup right. The difference should be very noticable. And you definitely shouldn't be spitting oil... It will sound different with a SC, you will hear it spin up when you get on the throttle... Different sound than a turbo spooling up.

M3 is 240 hp but at the wheels its like 196 or something like that?

I've seen dyno's as high as 215 on stock M3's.

I'd be suprised if you hit 190 with only the DASC... The one on understeer hit 191 with flywheel, exhaust, etc...

Your bypass valve is hooked up wrong or stuck open. Vacuum = open.

well i finished my kit 2 day 10 hours more so it took me a total of 17 hours,but i had a few problems,the new idler pulley didnt fit the bolt was to big for the pulley and spacer so it wasent machined right,so i just used the old pulley,then the prv valve wasent sealing it was warped so i put a oring in there to seal it up.and the afm and air filter brackets wernt even close to fiting.so i had to make my own ,and the wires to the afm were to short,and the long vacum line was way to short ,and there wasent enough loctight,so i had to make a few trips to the auto parts store,but once all that was done, i fired it up and it purred just fine and idled and reved up great.didnt have time to test drive though cause i got done so late.

I had a similar issue with my pulley and ended up using thick washers to create a better spacer.

good idea, but that dosent help the bolt fit through the center of the idler pulley.just the spacers on the back,i called jim he's sending me a new pulley,spacer ect,figured i payed for it might as well get the right part,plus the old pulley works fine.untill he sends the new one.

Yeah, my issue was the alignment of my idler pulleys. But I ended up getting new ones from Jim as well.

Most of these installs are ODB II M44s? Just wondering?
