Finally got my Evo

[scheides]

You'll do fine with either, but if I had a choice I'd just go with the Centrics. Call/email MAP for best pricing and def get the coating. I had the rotorpros on my evo8 and they were dandy, but for (what should be) only a few bucks more the centrics are the bomb-diggity.

I shopped around for some rotors a couple months ago, give these guys a try: http://www.frozenrotors.com.

People say the cryo treating does nothing, but so far these rotors have worn outstandingly well. I think they can also get you prices on non-cyro rotors as well, brembo blanks or whatever. I did quiz them a bit about the centrics, they said that they have tried them on some vettes with mixed results, they instead recommended using a premium NAPA rotor or a brembo blank instead if going to go for oem replacements for track duty as they seem to hold up to prolonged heat cycling better without warping.

Give em a call, these guys are local, have a tons of track experience, good prices, and great customer service.

Rotorpros sell centrics. You can buy straight from rotorpros and ask for the centrics. I was going to do that but ended up selling me car. They will have the best price.

The Frozen Rotors are $272 for the blanks, I guess I understand the reasoning and all, but meh. It's not like my brakes see a really hard life anyways, so I'm not overly concerned with prolonged heat cycling and all that. I can get those Centric's for $30 less or whatever, then spend that on the blingin coating so they don't rust. I just think the rust looks like poo, I'm not woried about the wheels getting stuck on or anything. From the reveiws I have read, the Centrics do seem to hold up much better than the OEM Brembo blanks.

Trevor, that thread I posted was all about the Rotorpros/Centric discussion. They are no longer the same. For a while they even had the same part #'s and all, but they switched to the C-Tek or whatever, and used the 121 PN#, and then apparently changed it back to #120? IDK, that thread was a mess. lol

Huh? MAP Doesn't even have Centrics on their site? Though I did see them on tirerack for a great price! hmmm....

Good to hear. I would think the coating would be mainly for keeping rust off of them.
I bought my set through MAP.

The coating is to just keep them looking nice.

So last night I attempted to put in my walbro 255 HP I got last month from MAP. I went to the garage with my tools, got the pump assembly out. (After getting that bitch black ring thing that sits on top)

And brought it upstairs to the apartment for disassembly, popped the old pump out.....just to find out my car already had a Walbro 255Hp :lol:

So, put it all back together, test drove it and all is good now. I took some pictures along the way also.

p.s. Anyone need a Walbro 255HP for an Evo/2g?

Ring is bigger than the hole:

Bitch ring:
(found out the trick here is to take out the ring and the pump assembly together)

Took the pump out......wait a second...does that say wal....its the same one!!

Then when I was done putting it all back it, I made sure to etch a small "B" on the side of the ring that faces the back, since it can only have one orientation. If you get it wrong, it can be kind of time consuming to squirm it back around so it faces the right direction while also dealing with the 3 rubber hoses and electrical connector that all go to the pump assembly.


Should also note, after unplugging the electrical plug on top of the pump assembly, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start the car and ruin it till it dies MORE THAN ONCE, I followed the directions from EvoM and only did it once. This still resulted in a good amount of gas being spilled while unhooking the high pressure line.

Awesome!!! and I bet you could change the pump next time if needed in about 1/2 the time!

Do u guys need to do a fuel pump rewire or is that a last resort to get everything out of a pretty maxed pump?

[Murlo26]

The Evo's all come with the "rewire" that DSM's needed I believe.

[DoughtCom]

Haha I remember when scheides installed my pump in like 10 minutes when I needed my tune, that was so awesome.

[goodhart]

Yeah, probably took me right around 45 minutes or so to take it out/put it back in. That stupid ring took probably 20 minutes taking it out. Putting it all back in took maybe 5 minutes.
