Oh, that makes sense. I'll give it a few days and see what happens.

Impulse buys ftw! I think all my major car mod purchases have happened between the 11pm and 4am.

It'll be interesting to see how much power it makes once its back on the dyno. Good job getting it done so quickly!

Yeah, Scheides and his wife were able to help out, our schedules worked out and we got it done. It feels good on the road even though it smells pretty rich, a quick log said 90% IDC so we'll put in the Injector Clinic 850s this week and get them dialed in roughly. I'm looking forward to seeing what it does.

Re: My Evo

Just check the overflow and radiator fluid level every few days, I'm sure that's just overflow/spillage you are smelling.

I didn't smell anything last night or this morning, so I'm guessing that it's passed.

New alignment is pretty much the same as the old alignment, just slightly less aggressive.

Re: Teh Dizzevo

After getting the new head installed I picked up a Nisei intercooler piping kit, small battery with Muse battery tray and an ETS 3.5" intercooler. Unfortunately the intercooler didn't ship until just before my dyno time so it will have to be put on later.



A recap of everything that was been changed before hitting the dyno:
MAP Stage 3 head with GSC beehive valve springs
MAP rev2 intake manifold with phenolic spacer
MAP ported exhaust manifold
GSC S2 cams
Nisei intercooler piping

Prior to this my car made 267hp/256tq at DB in the fall of 2009 which is when we discovered the leaky exhaust valves and I proceeded to have a head built.

Shane worked his magic and this is where we ended up after my dyno session on Tuesday 4/13.






I'll have to get Shane to do an overlay of my old graph versus the new one.

Anyway, it is what it is. Boost comes on really strong and it feels great through the midrange. Right now we're thinking the janky POS intercooler that's on there now is an issue which will be replaced as soon as the new ETS intercooler arrives. We also have no solid reason for the dip in power around 7200, I have my theories but am doing research before I lay claim to anything. I'm just not revving that high until I figure out what's going on. It wasn't there until I did all this work.

Dyno day in a few weeks, have the intercooler on, maybe a new intake pipe and see what it does then.

That RMR one that was on there when I bought the car. I've been eyeing one of those Samco ones, or something like the Buschur one where the filter sticks up at an angle.

Re: Teh Dizzevo

sweet, i wonder what a E316G DSM would do on pump.

Well hopefully the new big cooler fixes your issues/give u more power.

I remember why I was wondering about a pump E3 car, because everyone uses E85, why haven't u made the switch, you would damn near make 100whp more.
