lol i was bored at work and surfing evom. I was just playing with you. I'm excited to see what you do with a vette

If you can burnout in your evo you need new tires :) I can't even do that in mine, too much traction.

Man so much covette hate here lol.

I guess this is a mitsu board.

Don't get me wrong, I will buy another evo eventually, prolly a 9 when they are more reasonably priced.

But for now I want my summer fun car to be something different.

On a side note I haven't even posted my evo for sale yet, at least wait til its sold before the hating. For all I know I end up keeping it.


I'm just giving you a hard time! I would like to have a vette someday as a summer car.

I can only break them loose when its a cooler night. when its warm i have plenty of traction.

I think i posted the for sale link in this thread a couple weeks ago...

Pic from Cars and Coffee last Saturday. I shined it up a bit, still not too much, still needs claybar and wax etc.

But shots like this make me want to keep it...just a bit ;)

Hey, I saw your car at c&c. I parked a few cars down (got there late, white evo x), and was hoping to talk to you but didn't have a face to put the name/car to. Looked good though!

I didn't know you got an Evo X Tim, awesome. Maybe I'll run into you at a Mitsustyle dyno day or something and you can drive the vette again if I still have it.

That would absolutely make my day if I do run into ya and you still have it :) I do miss that sexy bitch!

I just got it a couple weeks ago. Didn't stay stock for long (and wasn't when I got it anyway).

Well, so just a little update.

So the whole reason I lowered my price $1,000 after a week was I found this while logging recently...

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/Murlo26/yikes.jpg

The first run was at half a tank...I logged it then I filled up the tank, ~7.5 gallons or so and did another run, perfect. So Jon and I talked and agreed bad fuel pump pickup. I have always been skeptical of my double pumper as it hasn't started because of "low gas" at like 1/3 of a tank.

So today I went ahead and bought a used OEM fuel pump hangar as my stock one is modified for the double pumper and I am going to redo my fuel pump system soon, maybe next week (aka drop it off at MAP).

They are going to do the following which is what Chris Carey is prolly going to do to his Evo X as well.

-Remove double pumper (sell for cheap with hangar)
-Wally 400 e85 version
-MAP fuel pump install kit, includes aluminum sleeve and flex hose
-DW hardwire kit to get battery voltage to it, get rid of fuel pump relay
-6AN fuel line for my feed from rail
-Turn current hard factory feed line into return line as its bigger in an effort to reduce fuel pressure as the fuel pumps flow more at lower pressures.
-Modify return line orifice to reduce fuel pressure drop

So hopefully with all of this Chris thinks it should be good for ~600whp on E85 and I tend to agree after reading several tests online.

I want to move back to a single pump to simplify my setup as I don't like the dual pump setup unless you really need to run it. Chris said when he ran the old 400 on his car he could do pulls until the gas light so I am looking forward to that big time.

My thoughts on future fueling needs if this isn't enough or I want a bigger turbo...run a BAP for easy mode or more likely, do a surge tank with big weldon like Lomker's setup.

More to come.

I will then re-raise the price on the car to $32,000 for sale and then if someone brings me the cash I will make a call, otherwise I am going to rock the car as its working well and I am enjoying it again! Then hopefully rock the car on the mitsustyle cruise again for more pumpkin smashing fun.

Hell yeah man. A strong running car is damn hard to part with. Keep it!!!

I am going to follow along closely on your fuel system. I was hoping to just do w400 e85 version + hardwire + drill mod but figured the return line would get owned.

I shall test it out and report back.

I want something that works down to the gas light on my car even though I rarely run it that low :) Just need consistency so I can not worry. Then I can turn up the boost again!

Do you have some kind of BlaqOps hanger in there now?

[Murlo26]

It's the OEM hangar, blaqops just modified it to fit both fuel pumps. So I have two bulkheads on the top of the hangar. I could maybe reuse the blaqops one and change it back to stock but I don't want to screw around with trying to plug holes.

So I found a decent priced used hangar which I should be able to sell the blaqops one for more than I paid for it to offset the cost.
