Re: '03 BBY Evo
What the hell is it with this year and EVO's?! Sorry to hear about this Brad. If you ever need an extra set of hands, let me know! Shit, if the belt is in good condition I'd say a probable cause could be a bad tensioner. Either way, I hate to see this happen to any of us!

Re: '03 BBY Evo
Yea not 100% what caused it. Either a tensioner or my fuck up. Exhaust cam has a nice groove in it and looks like my turbo might be fucked too. Beer makes the world better?!
Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it!

Re: '03 BBY Evo
I suppose if you put any amount of shrapnel through the motor it will end up in the turbo. No good

Re: '03 BBY Evo
Well, at least I wasn't the only Evo to dump on the way back from Cars and Coffee I guess (lol JP)...seriously though WTF, I just did this 1 year ago...my car has spent more time on a tow track then the road lately.
I feel your pain man, I hope you get it sorted out, it really sucks!

Re: '03 BBY Evo
Holy crap! That's way worse than mine was, sorry to hear it man. Hopefully your block and/or head are salvageable, cores for these things are not cheap. But look at it this way, here's your chance to go with a 2.3 or 2.4 and throw a real turbo on it. I've been putting mine together this weekend, but after seeing all the carnage recently, almost makes me want to sell it the minute it's together and get a Volvo.

Re: '03 BBY Evo
Dude Brad that sucks man! This is just a sign that you should build the motor and turn this car into your new "tin can". How you explained what happen sorta sounds like how I blew up my subaru...weird

Re: '03 BBY Evo
BRAD:
How many Evo timing belts had you done before doing your own?
As someone who personally is more familiar with DSMs, I had helped a friend do his Evo Timing belt. Did it exactly as you would a DSM, and didn't understand why the belt had too much slop in it. Realized, oops, The eccentric tensioner pulley GOES THE OPPOSITE way than on a DSM. I made that mistake, but caught it after scratching my head why the belt seemed a little loose. Could that be a possibility?

Re: '03 BBY Evo
I've done zero evo timing belts but when it was put together the belt was not loose in the slightest and didn't make any strange noises for the 3 weeks I had been driving it and the close to 3k miles I put on it since doing the timing belt.
I also did the put the pin back in the tensioner after spinning the motor over and letting it sit 3 times to be sure there was the right tension on it. Who knows, probably my mess up at something but it just really blows.

Re: '03 BBY Evo
Yea it kinda sucks but I think I'll pull the motor tonight and see if the block and lower end are messed up beyond repair. If it doesn't look too bad I'll get a parts list over to Shane and see what the $ damage could be or buy a beater to get to work in and build it as I get the extra money. All I know is a need a car asap though as riding my motorcycle to work this morning in the rain and it being like high 30's wasn't fun.
I think I'll keep it though and make it a little more fun in the process. I missed the power of my 2g anyways but do like being able to turn, have 4 doors, heat/ac and most of all a radio. I didn't think this project thread would be updated very often, boy was I wrong. haha
