Tim's evo x

[timschot]

Turbo... MAP EF3. I originally thought about putting one on the stock bottom, but I would rather just build it at the same time and get what I can out of the turbo without puckering my cheeks every time I get on it. If I were going stroke/bore I probably would've gone EF4, but for stock displacement, I would rather have the relatively quick spool of the EF3 with pretty good top end potential.

Motor...
MAP ultimate duty rods w/ ARP bolts
Wiseco HD pistons -4.5cc 9:1
ACL main and rod bearings
ARP head studs
Stock crank, stock sleeves, stock bore, just honing. Stock head, valvesprings, and cams for now. Will likely do cams and valvesprings over winter.

Ron will be building and installing it. For what he quoted, it is really hard to say no and do it myself.

It is also getting shep diff pins while we're in there.

I am hoping I can swing a twin disc too, but I will be pushing it. Trying to find a deal there. The comp 3 does not seem to like 5500 2step launching.

If you can swing it, id recommend doing the twin disk at the same time since your tearing apart the transmission anyway. I give it a 2 thumbs up and a smart upgrade. I we ever meet up I will let you drive it to see if it is your cup of tea.

Good to hear. It absolutely makes sense to do it at the same time too, it is no more work to do a new clutch than to put the old one back in when the motor and trans are coming out anyway. Just hoping I can make it happen without breaking the bank. That would be really cool. Are you going to the mitsu cookout?

Shawn's clutch drives really smooth.

No cookout this year for me sadly, it is the first year I am missing. I have a conflict with a chumpcar 24 hour race @ iowa speedway. One of these days I will make it to a Wednesday sonic meet, Spaz and Josh both tell me that's the place to hang your wang out.

No that's cool. I have been to Sonic once is all. Will try to go a couple more times though probably.

Talked to my parts hookup buddy ;) I am getting an exedy hd twin. I will just take everyone's word for it. Ron says he always uses exedy and other than improper install issues I'm reading about, they seem like the way to go.

My wallet is :redface: but otherwise I'm :Banane55:

Exedy twins rock!

[timschot]

I hope so! :)

Diff pins and openport 2.0 showed up today. Going to be at the Amery AutoX tomorrow and hoping the DW65c holds up! Going to be logging and watching AFRs like a hawk.
