MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
We had this build thread going on EvoM already, but thought we should keep our locals in the loop as well. Here we go....
http://maperformance.com/marketing/mapuu.jpg At MAPerformance we have big plans for the 2010 race season :) We have acquired an Evo 8 chassis that will be used to showcase our abilities with the platform. Needless to say, we are out to break some records ;) Don't forget to subscribe to this thread so you can follow our progress. Disassembly has already started, body panels have been sent off for paint, and the machine work for the engine has already started. As always fabrication, machine work, and assembly will be done in house. http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evo1.jpg http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evo2.jpg Looking for Evolution VIII/IX performance parts?

Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
Well to go along with the Mishimoto radiator that we posted pictures up of a little bit ago we have started fabrication on our radiator placement. We have decided that we would like to mount our radiator in the location of the factory a/c condenser. Here are some pics of the front end, and some pics as it's getting cut into.

Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
One of the things we have been waiting on is to get some parts back from paint, so we can get everything mocked up, trimmed and in place on the front end. Parts came back from paint yesterday, so it's time to make some progress.

Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
Final fabrication of radiator, and intercooler mounts was taken care of last night. Here are a couple of shots with the bumper on and off. The core sure fills the bumper nicely ;) http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evo30.jpg http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evo35.jpg http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evo31.jpg http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evo32.jpg http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evo33.jpg http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evo34.jpg |
Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
Haha, ok fine... I use the term "final fabrication" lightly because Kyle comes up with new ideas all the time. Here are some pictures of the intercooler with ALL mounting points on. The bottom has tabs that go back to, and bolt onto the rounded piping you see. Also, we've added the mounting points on the side as well.

Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
Here are some pictures of some of the fab work that has taken place in the last couple of days. Kyle mocked up our manifold, and intercooler piping today. It's starting to come together. |

Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
Those are certainly considerations we will have to take into account in the near future, but stage 1 is simply to get the car running and making power :) One thing I can say for sure is that there will be no AWD Motorsports parts on this car ;)

Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
Pics of the metal work, and the fuel cell. Final riveting will not take place until the cage work is done, so we don't have to do it twice. http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evofuel1.jpg http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evofuel2.jpg http://www.maperformance.com/marketing/evofuel3.jpg |
Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
That is a work of art. Clean work with sheet metal and rivets makes me smile.

Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build

Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
Car is looking good! Can't wait to see it running!

Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
About damn time you posted this up!! I heard from a birdie that you guys had issues with the turbo on startup...?
|
Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
It seems to be leaking some oil into the comp cover :(
|
Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
Yea, I was wondering why I was asked if I had a turbo for you guys or not lol. Either way, hope it gets figured out. I'm wondering if there's a seal behind the comp wheel that is to blame? Bob take it apart yet?

Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
Not as of yet.
|
Re: MAPerformance's Drag Evo Build
hmm..Time to throw it in the trash, and find something that WORKS!
