Re: My Evo
Dude, this is great news! First off, you have a CLEAR answer as to why the car is down on power. Second off, you can get bigger cams, since the ones you have in there are kinda lackluster (on accident of course), and thirdly, going through the head will not only get you your power back, but do a basic set of springs at the same time (GSC's are ~$200 and plenty awesome) and you'll be able to rev to the moon while doing driving events.
I had MAP do my head for me and I'm SO happy with it. Prices are extremely rough, but valvejob and stage3 port was only $800 using the stock valves and fresh seals all-around. I saw a pretty solid 10-15whp and 15-20wtq with this and having a fresh head the car feels so so so solid, I will gladly rev it to 8000 for years to come. Doing just the valve job or just the porting cuts the price down a little, but in the end I say if you're going to do the job, do it right. I say use this as a stepping stone towards having a nice reliable and powerful car to keep in the stable, doing the swap is really not that bad...I will be glad to help. |
Re: My Evo
Great news? lol hmm, not my idea of great news.
Sell it and buy a SRT8. :D haha jk dont do that. |
Re: My Evo
If I were you I'd be happy the car was/is this good after all the events and hard driving you do on it. Take the off-season and pull the head and refresh it if you're really worried.

Dont sell the EVO Seems like an aweful big price to pay for a $800 fix. esp if the car runs but is down on power, if its not going to mess anything up further, drive it till you can save up the money to have it done right. Or get the tools and do it yourself. :) Plus you will regret it later when you decide to come back to EVOs or DSMs, then you will be sitting here going dammit i gotta start all over again? I get that feeling a lot nowadays. Knowing that if i wanted the power i had before, its going to take a lot of money and effort. |

MAP had the core head mostly done, Anna and I pulled the head off on a Friday night in about 1.5 hours, spent a few hours with thielen and hughes cleaning/running around/prepping, then hughes and I put the head back on monday evening...Matt, we can do the same for you and it'll be a sweaty but painless process! A few pizzas and some beer and we'll have it done! |
Re: My Evo
I'd be willing to help out too, if I'm free when you do it.

Re: My Evo
Double check your lug nuts after all the work is done, if Spaz helps out.

Re: My Evo
^LOL
Glad you found the problem! no get her fixed up and back in fighting shape, I also will help out if I can! |
Re: My Evo
Maybe you should of kept that 2g?
I say keep it man, you seem to love the car and the amazing handling it has, like scheides says you can do it, assuming you got the $$$ or just get it put back together cleanly, but its not like you can't drive the thing for a few more months as is. Good luck in your decision. 1g? |
Re: My Evo
Get a new ford taurus SHO. Twin turbo, awd, I think. Ballin'
|
Re: My Evo
I'd sell it to find a better Evo, you knobs. :)
|
Re: My Evo
Get a slow DD that gets 90mpg, then buy a new evo. Then you can break it all you want and not worry about it.
|
Re: My Evo
All depends on what you plan to do with the head. I have a spare one here than you can use to send out to get built to ease your downtime.
If you're just getting it rebuilt back to stock, it really doesn't take that long. |

Re: My Evo
The terrible Minnesota roads decided to kick my car's ass. Pretty sure one if not both front shocks are blown on the K-Sport coilovers. Good thing I didn't swap out the suspension in the fall like I thought of doing. :madashell:
