Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Update, just found something interesting. Here is like 1500 miles tops on the manifold i have.
I started smelling burning and was like WTF. I have the MAP firewall heatshield but am still trying to figure out how the hell to install it, doesn't seem to fit over my manifold, but I might be retarded haven't tried hard yet lol. Need to email Chris. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/0b4f9d4a.jpg So basically...don't run no heatshield on an X! On a much better note..200 miles or so on the new belt, all looks well still. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/40a2d363.jpg I haven't really gone past 5k rpms at all or beat on it yet so until then I will hold my joy. Saturday is fender rolling, Monday/Tuesday I am going to Shawns again to do springs/Rear sway install and then Friday the car will be at stellar getting a new alignment and then right to MAP friday to put on a new gasket between the turbo and o2 pipe as DB never received the one for the O2 dump downpipe. SO I have an annoying exhaust leak and I prefer to keep the two streams isolated. |
Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Did you see the thread AMS made about running w/o a heatshield and burning the firewall?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Dang busy beaver! Awesome!
Good to hear on the belt, keep us posted. IDK why you are having issues with the firewall, mine has not had this issue....do you like rod on the car and then not cruise around to let things cool down before you stop/park the car? Just curious. |

So got this installed...kinda. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/46cbbb9e.jpg MAP heatshield, the pic makes the engine bay look even dirtier than it is lol...easily the fucking worst install for such a simple piece...ugh. I think they need to recommend only installing if you have stock manifold or no manifold on. I had to bend, push and force the shit out of this and its still not in fully. My car will be at MAP next friday and I will have them look, but for whatever reason I can only get 1 nut on there. The thing isn't going anywhere but its not right. I struggled and cursed a lot at this but the one runner that really pokes out on this manifold really caused issues with clearance on getting this in. Not fun at all lol. Not to mention i dropped a 14mm strut bar bolt in the engine bay which I had to jack up my car and pull part of the undertray off to get to :( So while i was looking for my bolt I found this (amazed sticking my phone down in the bay got this pic this well): http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/8a9c21ab.jpg Looks like the source of my oil drip/leak. What are those two connections with the banjo bolts? Good size pool there now. Also, never noticed this, but is this how people should mount counterweights on nice wheels? I never had these before. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6/c21e74a0.jpg SHould I be pissed? Or is that the only way to balance them. |
Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Those go to the oil cooler, they are banjo bolts, I'd say snug (1/16th turn if that, maybe 1/32nd...) them a bit and see if that fixes it, otherwise fresh copper washers and try-your-darndest to torque them properly w/o removing too much stuff.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
The weights are correct.
|
Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Yea, was just checking on the weights.
I will see if MAP can further check the leak out while the car is there for the new downpipe gasket. |
Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
You should go see my cousin, if whoever was balancing had 1/2 a brain they could put all the sticky weights on the inside lip of the wheel.
|
Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
The wheels are tape-weighted properly.
|
Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Yep, just maybe tape off the wheel and spray them black if you want them to stand out less.
