Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Relying on VDR is a waste of time. It's an estimate and nothing more, using it as a tool is foolish.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Okay I thought i could trust vdr guess not. My boost stays the same. Car does feel slower tho..

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Do you have logs at all? Is timing being pulled? Bad batch of gas possibly?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

To use vdr you have to log it. I think matt and Chris are right tho. I looked at another graph and it said I had 438whp. My tq is low but that all shall be fixed when Shane tunes it! Im gonna mess with the car tomorrow if its not nasty out!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Stop worrying. :) We'll get the double-pump in and get it on the rollers at DB. That will tell the truth :) VDR is nice for quick before/afters, but unless you are careful to keep all conditions exactly the same (starting/stopping RPM, same stretch of road, keep steering wheel 110% perfectly straight) it is not super consistent.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

We tried MCCC last night, and if the problem was cause by carbon build-up, the damage is already done :(

You'll have to deal with 'only' 400whp until the head is back up to 100% trev! :)

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Yes ha ha 400 whp for now!
Scheides is da man we worked on my car till 1am last night at his house and he still wanted to try more stuff on it.
Thanks again for all the help I really appreciate it!
Matt d thats for the help to buddy!

Re: T-revzr's Evo

Thanks again Scheides for all you help! I would be so lost without a good friend like you! Car is going to sit at Scheides house till Wednesday. Will start working on it that night. Sorry Anna I took your spot in the garage. I will make it up to you I promise! Also thanks to spaz for the help and delivering the Taco Bell!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Nice, good work man! Get that thing running, defy the gods with a local evo that runs well!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Awww yea, check out the green shirt/red boxers xmas combo! fuk those bolts on that IM bracket. fuk them right in the ear.

Overall a relatively painless teardown and clean. Got my head prepped and trevor's block cleaned. All we need are some headstuds and a headgasket and we'll be in biz.

Oh, since you've been going nuts on pulling weight out of this thing, we gotta yank the charcoal canister too. It takes 10 mins and is worth 10 pounds.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Nice work guys. Are you picking up the headstuds today from map? Or when are you finishing up the job?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Awesome man, sorry I'm not there to help.

Evo's run just fine, don't get tied up with these other yahoo's.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

What headstuds are you going with? L19's?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Wednesday 6ish
Picking up the Hg tomorrow hopefully if map has it in otherwise it will be there Tuesday. And the headstuds are already in just gotta pick them up as well..

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Just going to go with arp headstuds..

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Yes those bolts were very gay! We had to use the impact lol..
And ya I forgot to start taking that charcoal canister out!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

I can pick them up Monday after work for you if that will help speed things up.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

It looks like we would have to order in an Evo 8 OEM gasket if that's what you are after sir, but we have ARP studs in stock (only 1 set so let me know ASAP) as well as our new A1 high performance studs which I highly recommend and can do for the same price as ARP's ;)

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

I kind of wish I had used those. :frown:

Trevor, call Brookdale and see if they have a head gasket in stock. If so, pay for it over the phone with a credit card.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Dude, if you can get the A1's for the same price do it!!


...The A1's for my DSM cost ~$200...

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

I hope MAP makes those for the X. The Cossies were a wee bit more $.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Keep in mind the A1's I linked to are the 8740 chromoly (same as ARP standard studs) but we do have the L19 material available as well :)

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Are the A1's better than the arp's?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Im on the phone with Map if they dont have it I will have to ask for a refund and go to Brookdale! I did order it 20 days ago or so...

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

We feel they are with the added dog point provision :)

Oh I didn't know you had ordered it already, hopefully its here I wasn't aware of any HG backorder?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Ended up going with the A1's they cost a bit more but map covered that for me..they couldn't get the Hg in on time. I called Ron at Rs and he will have one in tomorrow morning for me! Thanks Ron!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Did you get the normal A1's or the H11 tool steel ones?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Normal A1's

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Who were you working with here sir? It sounds like our normal supplier may have been out of stock, but if Ron will have it tomorrow that means he is sourcing it locally and we should have been able to do that as well.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Nate and Dave.. It's no biggie Chris I just dont wanna have my car take up Anna's spot in Scheides and her garage.. I called brookdale they dont have them. Closest dealership would be Iowa that has them in stock. I have no clue where Ron got me it.... Thanks for giving me your A1's at the same price as the arp's I appericate it!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Just got the head on tonight! Eveything went smooth! Big big thanks to Scheides, Mlomker, Simulatedwood, and Matt d for all the help! Car is runnin great I just gotta check for leaks for a couple of days..

Scheides once again I cant thank you enough for all this help man I really appericate it you have no idea! Tell Anna I'm sorry for going past 11pm!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

^Woo....dyno soon? Or you going to just throw it on at the dyno day?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Not sure yet what to do... Save for a new tune or just throw it on the dyno... I'm going to guess it needs a retune now but I dont know...

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

^Well have you drove it hard already? Hows it feel, lots better?

Side note: do you want an omni 4 bar MAP sensor? I have a brand new one I never got to use, payed like 110 for it, i will give it to you for like 85. I know you had wanted my X one when i used the 4 bar, but that never happened.

Ps. I want another ride!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

No I just drove it nice home might of seen 10 psi... Ya Id like to pick that up sometime.. I still have to pay Scheides for the head first tho.. Will you be at the dyno day?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Yea probably, i could bring it then.

Well update us when you hammer on it a bit...i am curious if the spool will change at all now. I am guessing the top end will change for sure, but curious to know if your spool was affected.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

If your at the dyno day I can give ya a ride! Not sure what Im safe to boost or anything prob just set it to 25 once I fell its safe and not going to leak etc...

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Haha Trevor, I saw you going around the exit from 694 onto 252 right as I was exiting from 94 onto 694.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Lol I cant believe I dint see you!
