Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I am starting to feel better. The car feels better after today as Shawn stopped by after work and basically fixed the IC pipe for me. I am still kind of worthless and what not but he got er done!

Thanks Shawn you da man, I owe you again.

No turbo problem, was just the IC pipe, back to ripping again.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

so what happend to you? why you no drive evo?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I was in the hospital for about 5 days. Had surgery, a biopsy. Basically they cut me open to get a sample of tissue that isn't supposed to be there to make sure it wasn't cancer. It wasn't thank God.

They believe its a fungal infection called histoplasmosis. So for now I am still on the mend from surgery and fighting off the infection with some anti fungal antibiotics.

So getting better for now and I'll hopefully have the evo at carcraft if anyone else is going let me know. I probably won't be there too long as I don't have a ton of energy yet from being sick, so I wear out easy.

But moving forward and getting better.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Getting better=best thing you can be doing. I can definitely attest to that after today, almost getting crushed alive by our trench caving in on me, sucked balls....had a chunk of clay break off the wall and slide down on my legs and chest. i was pinned up against the other clay wall as my uncles dug me out. it was by far the scariest moment of my life. i sound like a chick but damn until that happens to someone you have no idea

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Anytime Brotato! I bet it feels good to be alive and ripp'n again. Get better soon! We need some good Murloski drama, board has been a bit stale lately.

;)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Pic from Cars and Coffee last Saturday. I shined it up a bit, still not too much, still needs claybar and wax etc.

But shots like this make me want to keep it...just a bit ;)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Drive it on the cruise...shotgun :)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

We shall see, if I drive it you are welcome to have shotgun. I would say its a low chance i take it though as I don't want to break it while I am selling it. Anything is possible, it has been running awfully good lately!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

i FIGURED out why u want to sell.

That guy "hot dog" who wants to suck your dick from teh back is selling his car!
Here I was thinking you were a smart guy. hahaha (i'm bored)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Hot dog is selling? Is he buying a Corvette too?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Hotdog bought some camaro forever ago while he was building his evo.

He is literally never on the forums anymore, so I have no idea why hes selling.

Not the reason I am selling either ;)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

But you still get to be GM butthole buddies!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Don't hate. You are just jealous of the displacement to come.

Reliable awesome burnout drifting fun!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I can do that in my Evo all year round! 110K miles strong!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

If you can burnout in your evo you need new tires :) I can't even do that in mine, too much traction.

Man so much covette hate here lol.

I guess this is a mitsu board.

Don't get me wrong, I will buy another evo eventually, prolly a 9 when they are more reasonably priced.

But for now I want my summer fun car to be something different.

On a side note I haven't even posted my evo for sale yet, at least wait til its sold before the hating. For all I know I end up keeping it.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

lol i was bored at work and surfing evom. I was just playing with you. I'm excited to see what you do with a vette

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I'm just giving you a hard time! I would like to have a vette someday as a summer car.

I can only break them loose when its a cooler night. when its warm i have plenty of traction.


I think i posted the for sale link in this thread a couple weeks ago...

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Hey, I saw your car at c&c. I parked a few cars down (got there late, white evo x), and was hoping to talk to you but didn't have a face to put the name/car to. Looked good though!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I didn't know you got an Evo X Tim, awesome. Maybe I'll run into you at a Mitsustyle dyno day or something and you can drive the vette again if I still have it.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

That would absolutely make my day if I do run into ya and you still have it :) I do miss that sexy bitch!

I just got it a couple weeks ago. Didn't stay stock for long (and wasn't when I got it anyway).

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Well, so just a little update.

So the whole reason I lowered my price $1,000 after a week was I found this while logging recently...

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...lo26/yikes.jpg

The first run was at half a tank...I logged it then I filled up the tank, ~7.5 gallons or so and did another run, perfect. So Jon and I talked and agreed bad fuel pump pickup. I have always been skeptical of my double pumper as it hasn't started because of "low gas" at like 1/3 of a tank.

So today I went ahead and bought a used OEM fuel pump hangar as my stock one is modified for the double pumper and I am going to redo my fuel pump system soon, maybe next week (aka drop it off at MAP).

They are going to do the following which is what Chris Carey is prolly going to do to his Evo X as well.

-Remove double pumper (sell for cheap with hangar)
-Wally 400 e85 version
-MAP fuel pump install kit, includes aluminum sleeve and flex hose
-DW hardwire kit to get battery voltage to it, get rid of fuel pump relay
-6AN fuel line for my feed from rail
-Turn current hard factory feed line into return line as its bigger in an effort to reduce fuel pressure as the fuel pumps flow more at lower pressures.
-Modify return line orifice to reduce fuel pressure drop

So hopefully with all of this Chris thinks it should be good for ~600whp on E85 and I tend to agree after reading several tests online.

I want to move back to a single pump to simplify my setup as I don't like the dual pump setup unless you really need to run it. Chris said when he ran the old 400 on his car he could do pulls until the gas light so I am looking forward to that big time.

My thoughts on future fueling needs if this isn't enough or I want a bigger turbo...run a BAP for easy mode or more likely, do a surge tank with big weldon like Lomker's setup.

More to come.

I will then re-raise the price on the car to $32,000 for sale and then if someone brings me the cash I will make a call, otherwise I am going to rock the car as its working well and I am enjoying it again! Then hopefully rock the car on the mitsustyle cruise again for more pumpkin smashing fun.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Hell yeah man. A strong running car is damn hard to part with. Keep it!!!

I am going to follow along closely on your fuel system. I was hoping to just do w400 e85 version + hardwire + drill mod but figured the return line would get owned.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I shall test it out and report back.

I want something that works down to the gas light on my car even though I rarely run it that low :) Just need consistency so I can not worry. Then I can turn up the boost again!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Do you have some kind of BlaqOps hanger in there now?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

It's the OEM hangar, blaqops just modified it to fit both fuel pumps. So I have two bulkheads on the top of the hangar. I could maybe reuse the blaqops one and change it back to stock but I don't want to screw around with trying to plug holes.

So I found a decent priced used hangar which I should be able to sell the blaqops one for more than I paid for it to offset the cost.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I thought you had a sale pending?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I kinda did lol. The guy was going to split the cost of the fuel pump fix with me as a downpayment.

then all the sudden he asked, wait this is tuned on e85, I thought this was a pump gas car? I asked if even read my post and he said you have the 2010 WW evo x right? I said no I have the 2008 RR X...

Needless to say he was a tard, and messaged the wrong guy. I wasted like half my day of vacation last friday planning all the fuel pump stuff and working with the guy to get compression/leak down tests done and everything.

So after that I figured trying to sell the car with a bad fuel pump problem isn't going to work and I should fix it first and then sell.

The car is hard enough to sell for what I want let alone having a problem where you can't go WOT at 1/2 tank of gas. So we shall see what happens.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Not selling car now maybe?

Because...broke? Sigh...FML

Never ever had a P030X code that wasn't p0300, this can't be good...

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/IMG_0064.jpg

Sounds like this...I haven't seen an evo x have a specific cylinder misfire code ever without actually having a problem that wasn't good.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drG6qIkCHrU&hd=1

Car running like poo poo...2.4L time maybe.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Sounds like a tractor.
Did you check spark on cylinder #4?
Edit: Your youtube link is broken.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Before jump off the cliff, thinking new motor bandwagon, a compression test and coil swap is in order. PM me... I can bring some tools over to diagnose.

Shawn

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Wtf man? Idle sounds gnarly and nice to me! :P

Go through the basics as shawn said, move injectors, coils, run tests etc.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I just found it very weird that on Monday when I drove the car it was running perfect. Then I went out of town for a few days for work, start it, and bam yucky running evo!

I am just a pessimist with the evo now, but I was planning to do all the basics or moving coils/plugs etc.

I did check my injector plugs, that was it, just to make sure none had come loose.

More to come soon. Shawn, sent a PM buddy.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

If it was running fine, then the next day started like shit, it's probably just something stupid. I've never worked on an Evo X, but apparently we live in the same hood so holla if you need an extra hand. If I'm around I can try to help.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Check logs on your MAF sensor....mine started running like ass and the sensor was not dead but was reading inaccurately....died a week or two later. You can borrow mine if you want to test it but quickest thing is to compare voltage at idle and see where it's at.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Sounds good, I will put that on the "to check" list.

I'll shoot you a text if I need to borrow it. But if shawn comes over maybe he will drive his evo to swap stuff.
