Glad your issue was fine, but now you must be good at pulling the pump.

I was already good at it, done it a bunch. I just hate doing it, gas gets all over, its smelly and the backseat isn't a tight spot so its not fun working there. BUt I did figure out a few quicker ways of doing things. It's only like a 30 min thing, more of an annoyance if anything.
Now I can't go tuning though as mn weather is lame....

True.
I was planning to do that tonight...need to go buy an in/lbs torque wrench and I need a new low pro jack too as my car is pretty low now. I also have to redo all my gauges as well and move to my new gauge pod. I have plenty to do...I'd just rather be driving it.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
What torque range do you need in in/lb? I have one that you could borrow but it only goes from 10-50in/lb. Otherwise you can convert in/lb to ft/lb

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I'll just buy one, need one that goes to 60in/lbs I think, for the battery terminals. I like buying tools, trying to start a good collection, can never have too many.
Thank you though for the offer.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
60in/lb is 5ft/lb solid you have a ft/lb torque wrench that goes down to 5ft/lb you could use that. A lot of people don't like buying tools so u figured I'd offer lol. And I agree you can never have too many. Not sure how much you want to spend but there are some nice electronic ones out there that do ft/lb, in/lb, NM, and torque angle. It's nice having one that does everything.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Extreme photoshop tuners?
I thought it was pretty well known they were a pos fraud company?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I dunno, I just thought the idea of an 11,000rpm engine in an evo was cool lol. I would never actually buy it
I found it funny they didn't even have a website though.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
There was a huge thread about it on High Boost forums, then the OP lost his balls and took all the pics down proving them to be fakes after they threatened a lawsuit.

That was my favorite thread on the internet last year!
I love how it just started out with a few people wondering why their "God" cars ran slower at the track than some fairly basic setups.
11,000 (or even higher) would be cool. But I'd look to an American racing shop who has years of proven results to build you one. They tend to have better results than photoshop in the real world.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
^Shit we can do that?
My bike would've made over 200whp and ran 8s a long time ago!
Ever get the chance to get out and test the new fuel setup Dave? Weather is supposed to be nicer next week!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Fuel system is good to go. We are cranking boost up tonight after i get a battery tie down for my new battery.
The fuel line showed no signs of leaking and it was working ok before. My tuner just questioned how much fuel he had to add in the tune itself to get it where he wanted and thought it might be leaking. So now we think its just my setup flows that much air lol.
So hopefully tonight brings fun I'd like to get to 25psi tonight, that should be 650ish I hope.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Turned it up, still not refined at all...635ish at 24psi
Car is surging though..it can't eat all the air down low at all. Kinda sucks, need more displacement lol. Lil lean when we turned up the wick, lean is mean No knocks or anything, car is feeling very strong, this is at 30%wgdc only haha.
Edit: Jon just sent this...
Car is for sure surging, Boost vs MAF, you can see the surge down low.
