Re: My Evo
 

I do love Bob's porting :D

HKS 264's on the left and GSC S2's on the right?

Re: My Evo
 

I thought those were the Ebay mystery cams. :madashell:

Re: My Evo
 

They're HKS for sure (look at them closely and you'll see the logo) and I believe Matt looked up the part # and learned they're 264's. He thought he was buying HKS 280's.

Re: My Evo
 

The colored cams are GSC and the others are HKS. GSC S2s and HKS mystery cams. One HKS cam (intake?) has the exact part number of a 264, but the other has no reference.

Re: My Evo
 

I wish I could have taken video of the look on Matt's face last night when we fired it up! This car is definitely transformed from a mild-mannered evo to a nasty mean and manly machine! The cams sound absolutely epic at idle, and the motor free revs quite aggressively. I spent a few minutes getting it to idle (sorta) and we did a quick bit of logging, but the car kept blowing couplers on the side of the road (stock UICP and crap clamps) so ....we were both absolutely toast from a long two days (helped Mark move on Thursday, gahhh!) so we just called it a night. Still need to put in his 850's, then back to shane before the cruise.

Thanks spaz for the motivation to hurry up and finish...whether it was because you helped turn a few wrenches or because I wanted you to stfu about your cars, I'm not sure! LOL!

Good times, we ran into no probs aside from the coupler thing.....I'll let Matt share his thoughts.

Dizzle get some good clamps on that beast!

Dizzle, here's the pics off of my camera!

Re: My Evo
 

Wow, I'm alive. Definitely an exhausting 2 days between working on the car and helping Mark and Ali move.

During the drive home the car idled fine when I came to a stop so who knows what was going on there. Need to get an intercooler pipe kit ordered and a small battery kit, install the bigger injectors then it's ready for the dyno. Already have time planned with Shane on Tuesday 4/12.

Thanks to scheides for taking time out of his life to help out with this, and even bigger thanks to Anna for putting up with it all and letting me use her car to run around and pick up parts.

Re: My Evo
 

T clamps ftw!

Re: My Evo
 

very nice matt d

Re: My Evo
 

Ya dude I say get some tbolt clamps (from napa or wherever) for now and then worry about piping later. No need to stress about the hoses blowing off, you should be able to flog on it endlessly w/o that being a concern.

There's always a big list of stuff to want, but I think with a bit more maintenance and little stuff you'll have a solid setup to rock teh cones!

Did you hit the rev limiter yet? :)

Re: My Evo
 

No, I don't want to blow a hose off. :) I've just been taking the longest routes everywhere with the most amount of stoplights so I can hear it idle.

Re: My Evo
 

Ricer ;)

Re: My Evo
 

Revving under bridges with the windows rolled down? Yeah, I use to have a motorcycle with a D&D exhaust. Sweet.

Re: My Evo
 

NAPA is still open, go get $15 worth of t-bolt clamps so we can properly log this thing tomorrow!

Re: My Evo
 

Too late. Didn't even think about this, was out running errands all afternoon.

Re: My Evo
 

any vids of the badass idle? looks like alot of work man, good stuff for sure!

Re: My Evo
 

Of all the videos on Youtube of an Evo idling with GSC S2s nothing compares to hearing it in person.

Here's the best video I've found.

Re: My Evo
 

Nice. I can't wait to get cams in the 240. I got used to the HKS 272 lope, and the stock 240 cams idle way too smoothly.

Re: My Evo
 

I swear I'm smelling coolant but I can't see it leaking from anywhere. If anything it's from the thermostat housing or one of the hoses back there.

Re: My Evo
 

Excess coolant that spilled when removing the head? After I fixed my coolant leak I could smell it burning off for the next few days.

Re: My Evo
 

Oh, that makes sense. I'll give it a few days and see what happens.

Re: My Evo
 

I ordered more parts today. Educated impulse buying is a bitch.

Re: My Evo
 

oh dear, what did you order?

Re: My Evo
 

Shiny stuff.

Re: My Evo
 

a new fmic!?

Re: My Evo
 

Looking good! What piping kit did you go with?!?

Re: My Evo
 

Impulse buys ftw! I think all my major car mod purchases have happened between the 11pm and 4am.

It'll be interesting to see how much power it makes once its back on the dyno. Good job getting it done so quickly!

Re: My Evo
 

Patience. Get some. ;)
Yeah, Scheides and his wife were able to help out, our schedules worked out and we got it done. It feels good on the road even though it smells pretty rich, a quick log said 90% IDC so we'll put in the Injector Clinic 850s this week and get them dialed in roughly. I'm looking forward to seeing what it does.

Re: My Evo
 

Just check the overflow and radiator fluid level every few days, I'm sure that's just overflow/spillage you are smelling.

Re: My Evo
 

I didn't smell anything last night or this morning, so I'm guessing that it's passed.

Re: My Evo
 

you passed the gas huh? excellent! that always feels good:)

Re: Teh Dizzevo
 

Bump for new thread title :P

Re: Teh Dizzevo
 

^lmao. I was just wondering about that.

So how is it feeling now with the new alignment adn everything?

Re: Teh Dizzevo
 

The new title is going to take some getting used to.
New alignment is pretty much the same as the old alignment, just slightly less aggressive.

Re: Teh Dizzevo
 

After getting the new head installed I picked up a Nisei intercooler piping kit, small battery with Muse battery tray and an ETS 3.5" intercooler. Unfortunately the intercooler didn't ship until just before my dyno time so it will have to be put on later.

A recap of everything that was been changed before hitting the dyno:
MAP Stage 3 head with GSC beehive valve springs
MAP rev2 intake manifold with phenolic spacer
MAP ported exhaust manifold
GSC S2 cams
Nisei intercooler piping

Prior to this my car made 267hp/256tq at DB in the fall of 2009 which is when we discovered the leaky exhaust valves and I proceeded to have a head built.

Shane worked his magic and this is where we ended up after my dyno session on Tuesday 4/13.

I'll have to get Shane to do an overlay of my old graph versus the new one.

Anyway, it is what it is. Boost comes on really strong and it feels great through the midrange. Right now we're thinking the janky POS intercooler that's on there now is an issue which will be replaced as soon as the new ETS intercooler arrives. We also have no solid reason for the dip in power around 7200, I have my theories but am doing research before I lay claim to anything. I'm just not revving that high until I figure out what's going on. It wasn't there until I did all this work.

Dyno day in a few weeks, have the intercooler on, maybe a new intake pipe and see what it does then.

Re: Teh Dizzevo
 

Good luck finding the issue! What intake pipe do you currently have?

Re: Teh Dizzevo
 

Those are good numbers regardless of what ever issue it may have man!!! How does it feel on the street compared to before?

Re: Teh Dizzevo
 

That RMR one that was on there when I bought the car. I've been eyeing one of those Samco ones, or something like the Buschur one where the filter sticks up at an angle.
Feels really good, more responsive than before.

Re: Teh Dizzevo
 

Lookin good Matt D!

Re: Teh Dizzevo
 

sweet, i wonder what a E316G DSM would do on pump.

Well hopefully the new big cooler fixes your issues/give u more power.

I remember why I was wondering about a pump E3 car, because everyone uses E85, why haven't u made the switch, you would damn near make 100whp more.
