Dave,

Whats with this fire extinguisher business? I vote let it burn!

or the polar opposite: Fire system! https://www.safecraft.com/motorsports.php

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

^Dave you need that! not some pussy little extinguisher.
I have a small one but not close to glove box sized.

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

LOL, I don't want a fire system like that, well that would be kinda cool, but its just a street car, I just want it accessible.

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

Moar Pics!

From last week I think, manifold being welded up on the bench:

Looking Sexay :D

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

Very sexy!

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

Lol at its just a street car. If its a street car let's see it in some action this year. Manifold looks awesome. Hope this car makes it the whole summer without any major problems

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

Street action? Murlo owns it just so he can post on the forums ;)

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

Hey I thought we are supposed to be nice and not tell the truth!:smithreplicating:

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

^It's all in the winky/smiley faces!

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

I like posting on forums! My epeen needs stroking :)

I drove it a ton last year, mainly as a DD because I hated driving my honda lol.

I just didn't really go street race it anywhere on purpose, just the occasional run against silly noobs.

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

Paul is a silly noob, it sounds like a perfect race ;)



Did I do the winky smiley face right?

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

I'm a silly noob that's down for some races ;-)

The manifold looks awesome!

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

I am waiting for the I should of bought a vette post.

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

I should've bought a z06...

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

Yes you should of.

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

I like the twin wastegates, looks awesome!

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

So, just saw this today. An evo in florida getting tuned on pump gas. It's an ETS singlescroll t3 kit, single 44mm wastegate 6266 car with a built 2.2L motor.

This is on pump gas and the wastegate could not control boost creep so they stopped for now...this got me excited!

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

ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuu@powerband.

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

A good powerband is flatter and falls over up top, not one that looks like a VTEC Honda.

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

Dafuq? Where's the torque?

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

I'm sure it feels awesome up top, but that low and mid leaves a lot to be desired.

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

Boost creep is a pain in the ass. I have to deal with this kind of shit a lot with the cold weather here, which makes boost creep much worse. The VF52 Subaru's get it bad with a catless downpipe for half the year here, they are often fine in the Summer, then it gets cold and then you can't keep the boost from going over 20psi on it's own. With the newer more efficient big turbos nowdays, it happens easier since the turbos just want to make boost and you end up having to set a low revlimiter if running on pump gas. I have an Evo 8 here now with a 35R on it that boost creeps to 30psi no matter what and it's a pump gas car. If you run less ignition timing to try to keep it from knocking, then the boost creep gets even worse.

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

They were trying to run wastegate boost on this car that I posted which is 15psi. It's a pump gas car and the single wastegate got over run. He said it spiked to 34 psi at 7k rpms.

So it was more of a funny picture, but it looks like the turbo is pretty potent on a similar motor, I am excited.

So the torque is low down low just because it starts out at 15psi.

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

Wow, that's crazy. I know Cobb had to add a 2nd external wastegate to Chkmgnt's car for this very reason.

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

Glad I have twin comp gate 40's going on this thing, that is all I am saying! :)

Should be interesting...twice the wastegates means twice the epic ear splitting dump pipes!

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

Have MAP recirculate them for a more pleasant WOT tone.

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

Hmmm, nah....

I like the noise :) And the extra power. If it gets annoying I will have them modify it later.

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

I don't buy the extra power statement [assuming a properly sized and designed exhaust system], but to each their own :)

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

I dunno, I have seen plenty of results showing gains by switching from a non dump to a dump and picking up significant power.

If I didn't do the dump I would think I'd want a 3.5" exhaust at that point.

It's what I am getting for now so I will go with it.

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

Murlo needs to save his money so he can buy a corvette in a couple months.

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

Group buy on C7's?

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

Hmmm, I'd have a tough time choosing between the c7 and c6 z06 honestly. I think I'd go z06 as the aftermarket is there for it.

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

Starting to really get excited now!

Can't wait to see this in person, looks beautiful.

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

Looks good!

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

Looks awesome! Nice fab work MAP.

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

Two WGs is definitely the way to go.

My car will creep pretty bad with just one WG.

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

My car also creeps really bad with only one wastegate. I would like to add a second but I'm not too worried about it at this point though

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

Anyone know part numbers to get new OEM pieces for the following:

I am missing this stupid cap here for the AC line (i think)

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ps695b3d1d.jpg

My terminal cover is cracked and doesn't stay on well anymore.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ps509daaf9.jpg

I was struggling to find these on mitsu parts .net, any help would be nice.

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

call dealer?

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

PM Trogdor, I'm sure he can cruise over to the parts counter and have them ordered for you.
