Little bit of a drop with some swift springs, some fender rolling and maybe a bit more camber and it will look solid i think. The grip is insane though.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

It's gonna look flippin sweet when its lowered!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

I hope so, lol. I bought some rally armor mudflaps today too, need to protect my paint more with this combo.

Updated numbers!
 

Fixed my boost issue finally! DB plugged the wrong solenoid plug into my 3 port, so i was running wastegate pressure, lol. Fixed that and all was well.

What I baselined today at vs. final numbers...a bit different :D

Vs. Last tune with FP wastegate, i have blouch one now:
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/scan0007.jpg

Once we fixed my boost issue my baseline off the old tune was in the 390's, so the heavier wheel/tire affected me big time. But we still made a bunch more power! Car feels awesome.

I am going to try my new bov when true e85 comes back and see what happens.

Another note, we needed to adjust my knock sensitivity tables. Had to search online and got the table location from a tephra post. We were seeing knock up top for no reason and once that went away power kept going up!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Very nice! That thing has to pull like crazy now!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Thats badass still climbing at the top of the graph!!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

mmm. 390tq. Me likey.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Looks good!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Whoah, I didn't even notice that! Hell yea, an X with some real torque!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

And we only needed 33psi to do it, lol.

We hit 36psi a few times, but that was when we were troubleshooting the boost;)

I still am thinking the stock bov is opening up, but we will see when i get my new one and then when real e85 returns. Another quick retune and see what she does.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Nice numbers!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Sweeeet numbers!!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Thanks guys:)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

awesome. update that sig!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

^i already did!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

So it sounds like you found the limit of the stock 4b11?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Pretty much...motor is toast, we will see if the head/turbo are salvageable.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

^Did you have an oil pressure gauge in the car?

Sorry to hear about your loss, but how come no update over here?

Sadly trying things out/being of the first to do something comes at a price, i know.

(Crossing fingers so as much as possible can be saved) - I'll be home from wed, I'm local so hit me up if there is anything I can do.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

I did not have an oil pressure gauge, sorry about no update here are the pics vids...

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

So were you just cruising along when this happened, or were you WOT?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

On EvoMN he said they were just cruising along.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Well, i was going into boost, i was accelerating onto 94, nothing crazy though, not sure i would even call it full throttle. It was roughly 3k rpms and boost was just hitting, then boom.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Definitely not full throttle. My first time in a car with that kind of power, though...I was sitting there thinking 'god, I can't believe my car will be like this'. Was damn nice while she lasted.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Shitty dude. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Any plans on what you're gonna do? I'm sure long/short blocks aren't cheap.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Not sure yet, i have a few emails out right now to MAP and i called DB. I am hoping MAP wants to develop a crate motor or something for the X, that way we could split costs, but that might be a dream.

First thing, i am praying just the shortblock got damaged. I talked with Ryan Gates and when his motor went down he said just his shortblock was damaged.

Otherwise another option that is looking tempting is this...

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

I honestly don't see any reason to go with a Buschur engine when there are two very capable engine building shops locally (MAP & DB). Better to have one shop do all the work than mix & match for something like this. That way if you have an issues there will be no question who to go to.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

It might be cheaper. The buschur stg 3 block is pretty dang cheap compared to other prices i have been seeing.

I am by no means set on anything right now. I am exploring my options right now. For all i know, i sell the car and go completely different route. But I agree with you, i would love to keep it local.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Don't sell it, you'll take a bath on it and be pissed off forever. Just save up and get it fixed, you'll be 100x more happy!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Probably true, i only owe like 10k on it now so I could get out of it free and clear selling it, but there is so much labor money into and my own labor i really don't want to.

I will probably build it, that is my goal right now. I just need to figure out pricing.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Price and turn-around time are two factors that might work against a local shop (sales tax is a bitch when you're spending kilobucks). I know he's already talking to MAP. They know how to do a stage 5 head now! :)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

That Buschur engine looks like kind of a waste. I'm sure the local shops could hook you up for cheaper than that. Have you found out exactly what failed? any educated guesses as to what failed? maybe a rod bolt let go?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Actually it appears the rod let go from the wrist pin on the piston strangely. All i know is that the rod went through the block and until the motor comes out, i won't know anything else.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Turn around time on this isn't going to be a factor, i will prefer a slower build in order to save and make payments on it!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

It is quite possible that it seized on the crank side before the wrist pin let go. It must be hard determining root cause given the amount of damage that will occur in a fraction of a second...

If you are in no rush then you have a lot more options. Get your center diff pins done and whatever else you want to do while it is apart.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

I plan on it:) Well the diff pins.

Obviously i want the car back asap, but this is too big/expensive of a job to expect quickly.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Yeah, this is one of those six month deals. I imagine it could take a lot longer if you don't keep things on track, tho.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

I would venture 3-4 months, but 6 isn't out of the ordinary probably. Mind as well be 8 if that's the case or 12 since 6 puts me into winter!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

I was just thinking in terms of the race car that DB did a full build on. It'll depend on where you have it done, of course. Small shops take longer...no way around that.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

I got your email sir and will be responding shortly :) We've already built a 4B11T (the white MR) and I'm certain we will be cheaper than anything Buchur Racing offers ;)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

There will certainly be no comparison on customer service...Buschur builds good stuff but my interactions with them...yikes.
