Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Just finished the last "install" piece just now...the undertray! I confirmed no leaks after the 6 times or so I drove it, so buttoned it up. Next will be a full detail, but might have to settle for just a rinse this year with how cold it is.

My idle/cruise trims are almost done being dialed in, hopefully do some boost here soon.

Still thinking about cruising down to the lunch spot with us this weekend?

Depends on if I can get my hog tuned by then. I am still considering it, haven't decided though. I am sure this will be a game time decision. I haven't wondered too far from home yet either just because I am nervous that the car isn't "perfect" yet but will have to try sometime.

I also had illusions about maybe rockfalls this weekend, but the cruise is more likely that that as my clutch is still iffy at best right now.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Driveability is mostly dialed in now, its been a bit rough as its so cold out though, but fuel trims are in line and once the car warms up its great to drive. Probably work on this more in the spring.

Might have some fuel pump/pick up issues still somehow...no idea how, brand new everything there. I think something might be tangled up in the tank, like the siphon line not on or something.

But we added a ton of fuel to WOT as it was angry last night and this morning the car pulls clean now so back to boosting, yay.

I can't do cruise or RF tomorrow though, finishing deck which needs to be done before snow flies.

I cannot, the carpenter helping me is coming saturday. Sorry dudes. I will make the spring one now though, no excuses really.

House mods have taken priority over getting the evo running the last few months. They are almost as satisfying.

So what you're trying to say is you now wear socks with your sandals, cargo shorts, and hang around hardware stores talking about your project?

You going to be short shifting ftw. Lol. Glad to see you got the jack stand queen out on the road. Hope you keep the car running and enjoy it for a couple months.

Me too man, me too, glad its off jackstands for now

And yes, short shifting big time, but the powerband is still there, just shifted down for tire burning action

Just leaned it out some and here is current pull:

Dude almost 13:1 and 36psi? Not what I would do. :P

Still, epic torque!

Why are you starting pulls over 3000rpm? Hit the gas at 2500 or less dude, let's see how low this thing will hit boost!

I thought it was a bit lean on spool too and I asked my tuner. This is literally like the 4th map or so that we have done since I fixed my fuel shit so still dialing it in.

Strangely the car pulls very clean and no hiccups and literally zero knock.

But I will make sure its all good before I beat on it too much

I tried to start lower, part of it is just traffic, making sure no one is behind me before pulls but part of it is I feel like Virtual dyno doesn't import the lower stuff. I will try to get one starting at like 2000 so that maybe it shows up by 2500 on the charts.

The car feels good again though and 2nd gear is a riot. But have to shift by 7000 otherwise feels like poop. Maybe not such a bad thing, guessing stuff will hold together better not winding out to 9000.

You know it doesn't go back to true E85 in the summer anymore, lean that biotch out to high 11's to redline! haha
36psi is pretty beastly on stock turbo.
Congrats again on getting the car running, must feel amazing to have your investment giving smiles again.

BTW, what was your fuel issue? I hate fuel issues. So messy, and should be so simple but they never are.

Yea, I was planning to lean it out some, tuner man is working on it.

It does feel great to have it driving/running well again...now quick, time to sell

Main issue was my fuel hose in tank was kinked badly coming off the pump. It was a hard plastic hose (bendy one but hard plastic at ends) that I had to heat up A LOT to get it onto the pump. By doing that I deformed it enough to screw it up. So I put a Gates submersible hose in there for the feed which fixed a lot of it. Then I redid my fuel pump ground, ran it back to battery and then my tuner worked the tune as well and it all seems good now.
