Evo X upgrades

[mlomker]

Those pillars sell for $50 or so. Crazy what they get for plastic. If you end up wanting it then I'm sure I'll owe you for something by then. lol.

Shane surprised me by getting my car on the dyno today! He said he had to raise fueling by 10% in the higher rpms. The Bosch flows pretty well compared to two Walbros, in other words.

I'll try to go grab the Evo over lunch tomorrow. It's a PITA to transport the car around since I live alone. Will have to have my Dad help me retrieve the beater on Saturday. I was thinking of running over to that MAP event on Saturday anyway...I'll have the cool car now. :)

Still at 430ish I am guessing? I don't know if I have ever seen a graph at that level...do you have one? Would love to see torque, spool, all that good stuff.

I'd assume so. He said 25psi. My boost gauge read 24.2 on a pull the other day so that's pretty darn close. Shane said that the ECU pulls timing at about 7k rpm due to running out of MAF, so the graph wouldn't look very pretty.

I have a track day on the 26th but hopefully I'll have an intake and will have Shane retune with that and the ID2000's...end of the month or early Aug.

My goal is to have the car DONE by the Cookout. It's totally do-able. I just have the APR splitter and the brake upgrades to do...along with a few quick things (bushings, endlinks, corner balance, etc).

It's still in the 390-410 range. It's isn't running that much boost or timing yet. The fuel gets a little sketchy when it gets close to maxing the MAF. I assume we will go for more a bigger power tune once the 3.5" intake is done and the 2200s are back in. It's just something for him to drive on for now.

Ah, gotcha, fair enough. I knew it wouldn't be a ton just because the MAF was going to be a problem.

If you need a ride or something, or someone to cart back teh beater I'm usually around my list is getting smaller everyday so that means i have more free time to help out.

Good to hear its running

Went over to Shawn's Dad's tonight. Installed the Torque Solutions driveshaft bushings, the o2 sensor, and some adjustable end-links for the rear sway.

As usual the o2 install resulted in both the o2 and the boost gauge not working. I guess I'll be fiddling with wiring, yet again.

Might be my imagination but those driveshaft bushings seems to have made shifting smoother. Even small improvements are noticeable since the 6 puck has made smoothness more difficult for me.

Got the gauges working. Now my front o2 keeps throwing CELs. Not sure what's up with that...did it the first time on my way home from DB a couple days ago. Always something.

For sure man, less slop in the drivetrain! See how you like the rear diff bushings when they go in, they should help a bit too :)

I have an appointment for Wed at Stellar Autoworks for corner balance, alignment, and Road Force balance on the tires. I went to their open house the other day...the owners seem nice.

I'm debating between -2/-1 and -2.5/-1.5 on the alignment. I'm leaning toward the former since I care more about road course than auto-x. I have a little time to ponder it.
