fuc-ing evo owners!! What a bunch of asshat dbags. That is fuc-ing gay they are acting that way. But it seems to be the norm with a lot of evo people. They seem to think they are these holy god of car guys because they have a evo. I don't know how many time I have had to edumcate evo dbags as...

I just posted a dyno sheet of my evo with a 2.3 with GSC S1 cams. So take a look at that and it should give you a idea of what a 2.3l is like with smallish cams.Also remember with a 2.3 your rpm redline is moved down because of the pistons speeds. So in my case I rev mine to 7,500rpm with a...

Great vid. Just a fyi. I have broken in a act clutch per their instructions and also put one in and never did their break in. Took the car right to the track about 2hrs after install. Both clutches lasted me the same amount of time. After that I no longer break in a clutch. I just bolt it in...

Here is the dyno sheet from my 2.0 3052/HKS272/9.0:1/e85 motor. This motor is now in slugs carDyno slows spool done. On the street with dsmlink logs showed full boost 30psi at 3600-3700rpms

Just buy ecmlink and don't try and steal it.

Well forgot to do this a few years ago. Parted the galant out and got a 05 evo This is how I picked it up. Lots of rice of the carbon typeGot rid off all the rice and put it into ski car modeThese 2 pics are what the car looked like the day I picked it upAfter a good...

Only way to really know if your at MBT is to put the car on the Dyno and go to town tuning it. Every car will be different. On my galant MBT at peak torque was around 17degs and peak hp was around 23degs.

Make sure the meth kit is working like it should. I would tune it with low timing and low boost. Watch afr and knock. If all is good I would add a little more boost and log again. If still no knock then add some timing and repeat. Keep doing this tell you get some knock. Once you get some knock...

I have tried lots of plugs over the years and I always came back to ngk. When I got my discovery it had this miss. So I replaced the wires first to see it that would fix it. Nope still has a miss. So looked up plugs and all the disco forms said to use bosch. But all the forms also talked about...

Looking to trade or sell. Trade i'm looking for NT03+M in 18x10.5 +30. Selling for $1800 will come with 265/35/18 toyo r1r that have been used for 1 autocross season. I know its a long shot on here but figured I would see if any one is looking

can you get NT03+M in 18x10.5 +30

Quote: I picked up an accumulator and was going to use it along with a slave that used a larger diameter piston to slow the engagement point of my old twin. But I honestly don't think it would have improved it enough to make me wanna keep the twin. I don't think I'll ever run anything with an...

Quote: Yea, but that's not the best solution for a DD. Drag car and track cars yes, but I've heard really great things about Southbend single discs.If twins didn't chatter so much I would use it for DD. Plus if your shifting at 9k, your probably making serious power anyway.you can make...

Quote: I'm really curious how much we sacrifice gear set longevity to compensate for poor shifting. It just makes me wonder how well a gear set would do if you have double syncros, a twin plate clutch, and THEN you used a much heavier gear oil because you don't have to increase syncro friction...

Push the clutch to the floor then let it back out. Now put your foot under the pedal and try and see if you can pull up on it. If you can the clutch pedal is worn out

In my galant I used RP 80w-90 in the trans and 85w-140 in the tcase and rear diff. In my evo I run 75w-90 redline in the trans and shock prof heavy in the tcase and rear diff.

coil on plug

for every one that PM me about parts. Sorry for the delay on price. I will get those this saturday. I was gone last weekend on a ski trip.

Got some parts sitting around that I have no use for.Gab strut bars. Need to be repainted-$$100 for bothBattery box-$50BR old school FPR that bolts right to the end of the rail. $125Also have a gr4 carpet that's in really good shape. Make offer as I don't know what its worth.

I sold my old VPC/GSS/hks intake and hks boost controler on ebay for $500 a little over 1 year ago

A few things you can do. 1. go to a early style oil filter housing that does not have the oil cooler. Use a external. 2. pull the oil filter housing apart and put new seal and then torque to spec. 3. build the bracket that was posted.I has a few filters come off due to the stub coming lose...

The issue with running the stub shaft and having it fail was because of 2 reasons. 1st timing belt set to tight. 2nd to thin of oil used.running 20w50 helps support the gears.The idea of the turned down shaft was nice but I have see far to many motors die because of the rear bearing going...

Quote: When I did mine, all there was was ARP's off the shelf sh*t.I say off the shelf sh*t because if you go much over 85ft/lbs they stretch. Stock 6bolt head bolts will hold up to and over 400hp. So the upgrade from 6bolt to ARP 8740 studs is not much of a upgrade. Then add the fact...

I have always done mine to 100 with Molly lube. But I also only use l19s and not ARP's off the shelf sh*t.

what coils are you running? You may need to replace the boots and coil leads that go to the plugs. I had to replace mine once a year. They are cheap at carquest or any other auto parts store. I ran mine with No CDI box plugs gapped to 26 running e85 at 30psi. Mine was the BR unit.

I had more issues with Ujoints and tcase then I did with rear axles. I think I spit out 4-5 u-joints. 4 tcases and I think 3 axles. I also killed a 4bolt rear diff by ripping 6 teeth off the ring gear. I base all my carnage off how the power came on. Way to much HP and torque down low. braking...

Quote: In response to Poster: vr4play Subject: Re: Spring Auto-x UpgradesI rescued the car from a field and it was sitting sunk down to the rockers in mud and had about 6" of water floating on the inside. The interior was covered in green nasty slime. I gutted the whole car and don't have...

Why are you running in XP and not SM?

Clutch pedal is worn out. To check put your foot under the clutch pedal and pull it up. If your are able to get any movement the clutch pedal assembly needs to be rebuilt

I gapped my Arias at .019top .024 bottom and I used a 4.5tho Piston to wall clearance.

1g and galant vr4 mounts are all the same other then the front roll control mount. I have installed more then a few JDM motors into 1gs and the roll control mount is the only one I change out.

I have Ohlins on my Evo and love them. Words just can't explain how the car is now vs the old shitty tein's that came on the car.

I ran RP. I did it based off a report I fund from a indepent oil test and the efects of e85 on motor oil. RP got the highest score of all the oils tested. I wish I could find the info but can't for the life of me. But like Spencer said any oil will work. I would just make sure to change it every...

Its just all depends on where you want your power band. Remember shep went 9s on hks 272s So with the right set up they will make power. If running a big intake manifold then I would say kelford280s if running a stock or smaller plenum intake manifold I would run the hks 272s. But that just me...

Your co2 is low. Put a block off plate between the EGR valve and intake manifold. A egr valve lowers CO2 but raises HC. Your CO2 will go up but HC will go down. You should pass with out a problem. Funny because HC do more damage then CO2 yet the EPA still pushes EGR valves.

I know I don't have a vr4 any more but this is good info for people looking for a clutch. I just replaced my stock clutch in the evo. I did not want a ACT 2600 as thats what my friend has in his evo and has lock out problems. So I looked at the new comp clutches for the evo. English racing likes...

Quote: Thanks Brian, Im gonna try that next time Sorry been a little bit for me playing with dsmlink. You want to add a little air when starting. Also. so you know how it works. When going 100% on the throttle when cranking, will activate CRANKING FUEL CUT. Do that for 3-5secs Then let...

Quote: I'm about to move into the E85 world. Got my 2200cc injectors and big SX 1000hp fuel pump.I'm thinking of running my fuel system for a few hours with the lines looped. So out the fuel pump back into the surge tank return. I'll just swap out about 3 fuel filters and hopefully all the...

Taking some Air flow away at start up and holding the throttle open when cranking helps with the cold start

Quote: ^^As soon as somebody starts having to throw out names, their credibility goes to the drain...thanks for playing and good luck on the gamble.Sorry for the jack ass comment. That was uncalled for. But I'm speaking from years of experience of running e85. Maybe you can answer this...

Quote: spread misinformation like it's "OK" No misinformation. I ran e85 for 5years in my car with stock fuel tank,lines and rail. Nothing was corroded and falling apart.Quote: E10 is on the verge of no issues though, fwiw and many studies have been done with E15 with the jury out if...

Quote: Not zip-ties!! They're "space age high tech nylon retention devicesYou mean CNC machined mounting brackets

its still usable. Just knock down any high spots with a file and smooth out with sand paper. Those marks are most likley from the piston being tossed around on a work bench.

Quote: Rather than rely on internet folklore on ethanol, I encourage anybody interested to do their own non-biased research into why this is not the great stuff it's promoted to be. Sure you get extra octane for cheap, but you also have 2/3 the btu energy output (100%) and the incompatility of...

How much was the head ported. If the person that ported the head has the idea bigger is better you could end up with a head that has really bad exhaust volocity.
