Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I don't frequent this site much, but i am exhausted at work and can't focus so i figured i would start a build thread here.
Here it is when i first got it, outside hasn't changed really, shorty antenna is about it: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...lo26/photo.jpg Here is my first dyno at DB with catback/intake: AMS Intake Buschur Bullet Catback Also has my baseline with the mods: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...lo26/DAVE5.jpg Then came a UR testpipe and a retune: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/scan0001.jpg Then came these parts: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/photo3-3.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...26/photo-6.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/photo4-1.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/photo2-4.jpg And E85 retune: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...scan0002-1.jpg This is where the car currently is for power until next week. My fuel assembly after 6 months on E85 using DIY install kit, worked alright, wouldn't recommend. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...26/photo-7.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/photo4-2.jpg Now for the current state: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/photo6-1.jpg Clean and then dirty: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/photo9-1.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/photo8-1.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/photo7-1.jpg Me installing my new parts two nights ago...man it was cold. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...26/photo10.jpg catch can moved when new LICP went in. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...26/photo11.jpg Got rid of the hard plastic for the MR mesh on driver side. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...26/photo13.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...26/photo14.jpg Then off to MAP http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...26/photo12.jpg For these to be installed: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/photo6-2.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...o26/photo8.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...o26/photo9.jpg New Installs before retune next friday with Shane: AMS LICP AMS FMIC AMS Widemouth Downpipe Ported FPred with antisurge and FP porting and MAP coating Ported Exhaust Mani with coating Blaqops Double pumper, progressive based on boost Fuel Lab AFPR (maybe fuel rail).

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Fucking sexy! The 4B11 really loves mods! Did you gain ~15 awhp just from the test pipe and a tune?

A sidenote for people not familiar with my build at all, still on stock clutch...and will be for a while on the FPred too, lol. /pray it holds until funds come. I think i might sell stock parts to pay for it, but would rather not, who knows. |
Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Welcome, dude! More Evo Xs here isn't a bad thing.
|
Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Looks good can't wait to see the power!
|
Re: Dave's Evo X Build
In blaine I see, welcome sir.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
^Yup, moved to Blaine from Plymouth last June.
I noticed that it is strongly recomended to post in the newbie section, or that is what it said there for your first post, lol. Ooops. Thanks for the welcomes, i will update the thread when more stuff comes in. |
Re: Dave's Evo X Build
What are your goals for the car?
|
Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Well 450 on DB's dyno would make me very very happy.
However this initial tune I am thinking 410-420 hopefully. I guess we will see. 500+ on MAP's is also a goal. No real goals, just a street monster I guess. I will be happy regardless I think. |
Re: Dave's Evo X Build
UPDATE:
I had an oil leak from the timing cover:( Apparently Mitsu has a TSB out for this, but I am obviously not going to take it to the dealer for this since I had cams put in...well that sucks. MAP is going to fix it, more expenses...man it keeps building up. I am going to be carrying some balance on my credit card for a month or two I think...owie. |
Re: Dave's Evo X Build
sucky dude. You think they will even notice the cams? (are they that smart?)
Thats a lot of power, I am expecting the same from my car, but I don't really care since its about what I want. That motor good for that amount of power? |

The 4b11t has held up to 700whp stock block. People are running 550-600whp without problems on a more consistent basis, so yea i think the motor should be ok. But there is always the possibility i am the lucky one, i guess we will see. |

Dave was at the MAP dyno day for those of you that were there. Dave, I find Style a lot more user-friendly for posting pictures. It tends to be more of a mechanic/DSM-oriented site. Overall a nice group of guys but ignorant ballers (pretty much anybody owning an Evo X) aren't granted much sympathy. haha. |
Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Hmmm.
