Re: Tim's evo x

Haven't posted updates on here in a while... copying from evomn

Old turbo...


New turbo and some quieter pads for the street...


Motor ready to be torn into...




Empty car


The motor ended up having some scoring in the cylinder walls, so we were going to just overbore .020 on stock sleeves, but that didn't work out, so off the block went to ERL, and they sent back this... bored and honed for my .020 over pistons. Would've gone a bit bigger bore, but I like having plenty of meat and the extra ci isn't worth a 3 week wait on pistons.




Also picked up the AMS CMC kit... no more plastic CMC. Adapts evo 8/9 oem CMC.


Ron started getting things put together.



Ron noticed this... "T1M"? It was meant to be.


Turns out the block I got from ERL is the newer style with the deleted timing chain oil squirter, which threw us off at first but I guess that's good news. We were also missing two galley plugs from the core, so ERL shipped those up, waiting on those to arrive now.
