Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Two WGs is definitely the way to go.
My car will creep pretty bad with just one WG.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
My car also creeps really bad with only one wastegate. I would like to add a second but I'm not too worried about it at this point though

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Anyone know part numbers to get new OEM pieces for the following:
I am missing this stupid cap here for the AC line (i think)
My terminal cover is cracked and doesn't stay on well anymore.
I was struggling to find these on mitsu parts .net, any help would be nice. |

PM Trogdor, I'm sure he can cruise over to the parts counter and have them ordered for you.

I was really hoping to pick it up tomorrow but I haven't heard squat so I am guessing that is out 
I would assume next thursday/friday time frame. I will help you lift your shortblock into your car or you could load it into knoxvilles Tahoe if you want I am sure he would help ya out and we could haul it to your place. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Got to lay eyes on this thing last night and a nice long gentle cruise back to the city from MAP's new 'fortress of solitude.' I have to say this kit looks super nice end-to-end and MAP's new shop has transformed into something out of this world!
Car fires up and drives pretty nice for the rough scaling for the 2150s it has on it. With some work I'm sure it'll do just dandy. Good luck murlo!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Well started tuning tonight, maybe went through 20-25 revision over 5-6 hours. Ugh, worn out after that and working all day.
Trying to get this turn ready for the cruise.
Well, went to start WOT testing...no bueno. LEAN as shit. The lean kind that basically points to a fuel pressure issue. Jon thinks I ruptured the in tank fuel hose, he said he has seen some cars do it 4 times before. So I am going to drive to work and around tomorrow to get the gas level low and pull the assembly.
If anyone is bored tomorrow, and wants to review my fuel setup with me to see if we can figure out WTF, feel free to drop by.
I will probably be home around 6pm and start playing with shit.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Where is it at power-wise, and how much boost? Seems odd to just have it split suddenly.
