I assume these are different than the ones on their website, since you said that these were coated. Were they more than Buschur's version?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
They were more money yea...but its AMS, to be expected.
AMS said they have tested them up to 800whp on the X and they have used them on 1000whp+ builds on the 8/9. The AMS spec ones simply handle more power.
Not sure the exact differences, but here is some bullet points from the AMS website about the ones i got:
* Specially designed quench area that improves power and reduces the chance of detonation
* Annular pin hole grooves with double forced oil holes to prevent pinhole galling
* Taper lands to prevent scuffing
* Extra thick lands for superior ring groove support under extreme pressure
* 4340 taper bore, hard-chromed extra heavy duty pins for high strength and low weight
Taken from the AMS spec ones from the IX, should be the same features though.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Most aftermarket pistons will hold plenty of power, but detonation will kill anything.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Haha, anything by AMS though is usually the highest of quality though. I would have done the same thing, I feel your hurt (of missing a fast vehicle).
Should have stayed with the manley's. Then DB could have got mine done while you were waiting. :P LOL jk.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I haven't read up on this fix yet. What exactly is it attempting to correct?

When you go over 30psi you'll get a whole lot of lights on your dash along with the 'ASC off' indicator. Your fancy drivetrain features will remain disabled until you shut the car off.
On a hot E85 tune this will get disabled on every drive (like for Dave). What's interesting is that this turned out to be the same fix for MR owners as well. The ECU would stop sending data to the tranny secondary ECUs and that'd cause them to go into limp mode.
The assumption is that this is a safety feature but obviously it was based on the power output capability of the stock turbo at that psi, anyway...

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I wonder if Mitsu chose ~30psi since that's near where the stock MAP sensor maxes out at?

Another reasonable guess. Consensus is that it reads to 33. They haven't found the tables for going to a 4bar yet. I've got one of those sitting and waiting, as well.

Found that in SSP's thread on his MR. The fix is the same, apparently.

Yup, its a 3.3 bar sensor. It's actually the same one that came on the JDM IX's. The "JDM" sensor I ran on my IX was actually just a an Evo X one I got from Brookdale Mitsu.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
My new SSP clutch master cylinder finally shipped out today. My relay pack from the Mitsu TSB shipped from them yesterday so i should get that today.
Dropped my AMS front motor mount insert off at DB's carcraft tent on Saturday when I was there just in case by some miracle the motor was going to go in soon, didn't want to create extra work for them.
Man am I getting ancy...can't take it anymore!
