311evo's ev-oh

[Matt D.]

Keep in mind that you are talking about turning your car into less of a street car and more of a track car. This is a big step you're considering. My measly 300whp Evo is scary on an autocross course (ask brown man), and I have a hard time imagining actually road racing something faster than my 116whp 1985 MR2 (even though I hope I eventually do). Make sure you take everything into perspective before making your decision.

I have been taking all of that into account, after all I did decide to have the motor built instead of getting a stock used longblock for a lot less money. :)

I would like to give the black one more chance, if it fails again in 6 months then I'll fully commit to the switch. I'm not ruling it out right now though either.

Sounds like FP will be getting me the turbo back before the cruise, and along with that cutting me a break on some of the rebuild assuming my wheels are fine.

sweet man! Glad to hear FP is dealing a bit and you will be primed and ready for the cruise. Could've been a lot worse.

Great news!

[311evo]

Turbo's back in, FP didn't charge me a dime even though they rebuilt it and put on an updated/clipped exhaust wheel!

It pulls pretty good now, I can't wait to get on my new intake mani and throttle body, along with the new grimmspeed EBCS I picked up. And of course a Shane tune.

One thing that's been a little weird again is my clutch. It happened before where it would feel light, be very inconsistent, and when I start to push the pedal down it feels like it's shaking.

Also, I got locked out of a gear and hit redline. The clutch pedal stuck to the floor for a few seconds until I pulled it back with my foot. After that it was still working normally.

(I've already bled the clutch multiple times.)

Do you have a clutch fork stopper, and is it properly adjusted?

[Kracka]

Sounds very similar to what happened when my TOB dislodged from the PP ring. Clutch fork stopper would be a good idea IMO.

[311evo]

It is adjusted properly, but no I do not have a stopper. :( It did this before though too, and then it seemed to kind of.... fix itself.

[Kracka]

Any extra wavy spring washers added to the TOB clip or just the standard two?
