Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Relying on VDR is a waste of time. It's an estimate and nothing more, using it as a tool is foolish.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Okay I thought i could trust vdr guess not. My boost stays the same. Car does feel slower tho..

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Do you have logs at all? Is timing being pulled? Bad batch of gas possibly?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

To use vdr you have to log it. I think matt and Chris are right tho. I looked at another graph and it said I had 438whp. My tq is low but that all shall be fixed when Shane tunes it! Im gonna mess with the car tomorrow if its not nasty out!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Stop worrying. :) We'll get the double-pump in and get it on the rollers at DB. That will tell the truth :) VDR is nice for quick before/afters, but unless you are careful to keep all conditions exactly the same (starting/stopping RPM, same stretch of road, keep steering wheel 110% perfectly straight) it is not super consistent.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

We tried MCCC last night, and if the problem was cause by carbon build-up, the damage is already done :(

You'll have to deal with 'only' 400whp until the head is back up to 100% trev! :)

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Yes ha ha 400 whp for now!
Scheides is da man we worked on my car till 1am last night at his house and he still wanted to try more stuff on it.
Thanks again for all the help I really appreciate it!
Matt d thats for the help to buddy!

Thanks again Scheides for all you help! I would be so lost without a good friend like you! Car is going to sit at Scheides house till Wednesday. Will start working on it that night. Sorry Anna I took your spot in the garage. I will make it up to you I promise! Also thanks to spaz for the help and delivering the Taco Bell!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Nice, good work man! Get that thing running, defy the gods with a local evo that runs well!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Awww yea, check out the green shirt/red boxers xmas combo! fuk those bolts on that IM bracket. fuk them right in the ear.

Overall a relatively painless teardown and clean. Got my head prepped and trevor's block cleaned. All we need are some headstuds and a headgasket and we'll be in biz.

Oh, since you've been going nuts on pulling weight out of this thing, we gotta yank the charcoal canister too. It takes 10 mins and is worth 10 pounds.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Nice work guys. Are you picking up the headstuds today from map? Or when are you finishing up the job?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Awesome man, sorry I'm not there to help.

Evo's run just fine, don't get tied up with these other yahoo's.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

What headstuds are you going with? L19's?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Wednesday 6ish
Picking up the Hg tomorrow hopefully if map has it in otherwise it will be there Tuesday. And the headstuds are already in just gotta pick them up as well..

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Just going to go with arp headstuds..

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Yes those bolts were very gay! We had to use the impact lol..
And ya I forgot to start taking that charcoal canister out!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

I can pick them up Monday after work for you if that will help speed things up.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

It looks like we would have to order in an Evo 8 OEM gasket if that's what you are after sir, but we have ARP studs in stock (only 1 set so let me know ASAP) as well as our new A1 high performance studs which I highly recommend and can do for the same price as ARP's ;)

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

I kind of wish I had used those. :frown:

Trevor, call Brookdale and see if they have a head gasket in stock. If so, pay for it over the phone with a credit card.
