Hopefully when spring comes you can actual drive it and in joy the dam thing. I give you props for sticking it out. anyways glad your getting it back before it snowed out.

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

Nice.

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

Did you take it out for a spin? Any initial feedback?

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

Only drove it home from DB so far but here are my thoughts.

The car is WAYYYYY better just driving around. It feels very smooth. Shane said he spent like 2 days on just the driveability part and got the fuel very good. He took MAF out down low too which seemed to get rid of some if not all the bogginess.

I did a few WOT pulls, didn't have much space so I had to left off a little early but they were smooth no problems. I also didn't see any knockCEL so that made me happy.

Shane said he collapsed the high and low octane tables to 2-3 degrees lower in the RPM range but left them higher from 5 or 6krpms on up at like 6 degrees or so.

I am quite satisfied for now and will update after some more driving.

Woo! Awesome!

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

Woo hoo!!! Glad to hear that it's running better!

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

Well packing up my car for the winter for sure now...

Just found this at work before I left...

I was praying that I made it home, thankfully I did. The evo gods are angry with me.

In case you can't tell, that is a long strip of shredded belt.

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

ouch.

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

WTF

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

Im not sure, one of my pulleys is off though. Shane didn't see anything while it was there after 2 days on the dyno, so not sure.

My car likes to break I guess and not when it's convenient.

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

Time to put the stock plastic pulleys back on.

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

Not sure where those are even.

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

What pulleys are on there now, stock ones or those Hyundai ones?

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

haha it never is

sorry to hear, but at least it ain't something big!

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

Hyundai ones

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

Ugh shitty...back to stockers I guess? Or inspect the Hyundai ones...they come off really easy once the belt is off.

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

It sounds like I might need a washer or something to adjust the tensioner pulley I guess. Trying to talk to a few others who have the hyundai pulley's.

I probably still will not fix this until spring though.

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

Fix it before the car just sits for too long :D You'll feel better about firing it up come spring!

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

Agreed. Having it down all winter will just piss you off, especially come that first really nice spring day.
