I have heard very good things...it won't leak though, which is what I care about most
Mike, I am sure those other plugs are solid, but I needed some sooner than those would of came...well maybe i do (i don't like parts holding stuff up) and for over double the price, I'll stick with something that has been shown to work...I do get a little nervous about the insulator from the plug falling in the cylinder though.

I was being facetious in that post...no way I'd buy those plugs when the stockers work so well. I assume the insulator issue is heat-related and less likely with E85.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Oh have you seen the stuff about getting longer set screws and such?
IF you want them I have them still i think.

For the synapse? I haven't.
Didn't hear any problems with it yet, they just released a new version with an integrated port C and its the evo specific one so I hope it works alright. I have seen 1 or 2 complain that the set screw might leak, is that what you meant?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I can't find it, but something about the set screws that attach teh bov to the flange are really short, I got longer ones that someone did a writeup on recommended.
The longer screws help to make it seal better.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Wow, 2 weeks since my last post, that has to be a record, if I wasn't so bored right now I wouldn't even post, lol.
I exchanged an email or two with Danny today, I sent him a pic of what FP sent for my oil line kit and it looks like they forgot a banjo bolt and the oil line filter for the kit...LAME. I asked him jokingly almost, so since you are working on the turbo you are close to putting the engine in and he said yea real close. So I am not positive but it sounds like this stupid banjo bolt and filter could be the only thing from starting to drop the motor back in. SHIT, if this is the worst of my build problems I will be all grins.
I am very concerned about my injectors working out, seems like a coin flip for the new DW 1300's to work, i guess we will see. I really doubt this friday will happen, i hope to be driving the car next week sometime though

Damn, there is more to dave then whores and cars!
But since you ask, this weekend looks promising, but hopefully something more than a one night stand. Time will tell.
On a side note, my roommate is moving out, anyone needs a place I have an open room for pretty cheap I think for what you get

Reach around? j/k.
I genuinely hope you get all the luck that I didn't. You do realize that you'll be the first X on a Black on E85?
Is Shane a fucking world-class tuner or what?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Stopped by DB...motor is very very close now, the missing parts from FP will be there Monday and probably Tuesday they will start putting it in the car I would assume, so next Friday is looking good for starting the car up Jake's car should be running now, it was basically done when I was there, if not then Monday for his
Snapped a few pics of the motor basically all buttoned up.
Rust spot, damn you MN winters!
A shot of the intake port, it looks like the did a good job porting it, i could easily fit three fingers in there, almost 4.
And I realized I haven't posted a pic of my actual car forever, so here it is...so Sad looking
Man, I can't wait to drive this thing...I am going to get them my stock injectors for startup just in case my DW injectors have problems like some have been seeing.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
After seeing Scheides' results for his tubular mani, I know my stock ported one will be holding me back...so winter time I have the ultimate question to address...get a tubular mani and another 30-50whp (I would assume gains on an FPblack E85 will be bigger than that even but being conservative, also I have a ported stocker so that could be right) or stop screwing around with stock frame and go T3....
I am thinking I will keep screwing around with stock frame as the whole reason I like it is you can keep adding pieces 1 at a time to help with paying for it and I would lose quite a bit of money on selling the black etc.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Engine looks good! Is that a coated valve cover or the plastic one from a '10?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Coated, primo matched it to my AMS IC pipes and my new primo intake...all the stuff is flat black Lomker has an oil cap like mine but black that he offered me, so maybe I will try that out to keep it all black.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Motor and Trans are back in, just got word from Danny this morning WOO WOO.
Now all the little crap time, which will take a few days I assume, if all goes smooth.
Hopefully picking up Lomker's stock injectors for the break in period, as my new 1300's could be an issue.
Man so close I can taste it.
