Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Well, i was going into boost, i was accelerating onto 94, nothing crazy though, not sure i would even call it full throttle. It was roughly 3k rpms and boost was just hitting, then boom.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Shitty dude. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Any plans on what you're gonna do? I'm sure long/short blocks aren't cheap.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Not sure yet, i have a few emails out right now to MAP and i called DB. I am hoping MAP wants to develop a crate motor or something for the X, that way we could split costs, but that might be a dream.
First thing, i am praying just the shortblock got damaged. I talked with Ryan Gates and when his motor went down he said just his shortblock was damaged. Otherwise another option that is looking tempting is this... https://secure.buschurracing.com/cat...76880a75cf4b9e |
Re: Dave's Evo X Build
I honestly don't see any reason to go with a Buschur engine when there are two very capable engine building shops locally (MAP & DB). Better to have one shop do all the work than mix & match for something like this. That way if you have an issues there will be no question who to go to.

I am by no means set on anything right now. I am exploring my options right now. For all i know, i sell the car and go completely different route. But I agree with you, i would love to keep it local. |
Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Don't sell it, you'll take a bath on it and be pissed off forever. Just save up and get it fixed, you'll be 100x more happy!

I will probably build it, that is my goal right now. I just need to figure out pricing. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
That Buschur engine looks like kind of a waste. I'm sure the local shops could hook you up for cheaper than that. Have you found out exactly what failed? any educated guesses as to what failed? maybe a rod bolt let go?

If you are in no rush then you have a lot more options. Get your center diff pins done and whatever else you want to do while it is apart. |

Obviously i want the car back asap, but this is too big/expensive of a job to expect quickly. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
I would venture 3-4 months, but 6 isn't out of the ordinary probably. Mind as well be 8 if that's the case or 12 since 6 puts me into winter!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
I was just thinking in terms of the race car that DB did a full build on. It'll depend on where you have it done, of course. Small shops take longer...no way around that.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
I got your email sir and will be responding shortly :) We've already built a 4B11T (the white MR) and I'm certain we will be cheaper than anything Buchur Racing offers ;)
