DMC stage 1 and stage 2 engine differences

[QuadcityDMC]

I took some photos of my motor. This was installed/built in June 2011. I have 1,125 miles on it now.

I got my Stage II done down at DMCFL. I used to have a black throttle cover plate, but when I got the car back it was not installed. I also was told to run premium fuel, and noticed a significant increase in fuel milage (23-26mpg) this modification was performed to a stock engine will less than 20,000 . Besides the StageII I also had other work done down there. The StageII mod has performed well, but the "fixed" door locks broke again by the time I hit Jacksonville and a few weeks later one of the top nuts on the fwd drivers side Eibach shocks came off. I'd love to get one of those cool stainless steel cover plates with the DMC logo.

On a side note does anybody know what will have to be done to a Stage II engine if one wants to take there StageII to a StageIII?

Call DMCMW, they get them over in Europe.

That is a very nice Stage 2 engine!

Thanks for the info on the SS throttle cover. But does anyone know the answer to the above question?

I have heard that Stage III engines will need a completely different set up. You can't just add them onto Stage II

What does DMC do with the over-50k engines they remove from Stage II and III customers' cars?

Unknown. Design is not finished.

I noticed you had 'DMC' on the hose leaving your coolant expansion tank. Do you have the silicone coolant hoses all around?

I loved my Stage II upgrade for the whole week it ran when I got it back from DMCFL. My engine had 12k on it when I sent it down, she came back with a totally different breather, mine still had the DMC sticker on it, the sticker wasn't road rashed or worn or anything. When I got it back I had a plain black breather box with no sticker, I didn't get my Stage II badge in the engine compartment and as stated before the car ran exactly one week, I was fortunate enough to get it in the garage and she has laid there dormant ever since. I believe my bill came to a little over 10k including a rear main seal that if anyone at a show ever asks me about I'll be glad to tell them about. I wish I would have waited a while before I blew that wad of cash down there, I would have sent it to Josh instead.
