I wait until my car is at full temp, which is half-way on that temp gauge.

Not sure about the IDC's, I know we had enough fuel though, as in the injectors weren't a concern, so I would think that's a maybe on the 1400's.

I believe Shane before said that 1400's were good for 540whp on his dyno, roughly.

Same. Put-put-put with slow, gentle, shifts until my car is at full operating temp. This gives my drivetrain and transmission a chance to warm up too (this is why letting the engine sit and idle then beating on it directly from the garage is a bad idea).

I just checked your log from the dyno day, ~82% IDC at 7500rpm and ~87% IDC at 8886rpm. 2 counts of knock @ 2900rpm on one pull, i.e. nothing.

Cool

Very strange why it would be acting up on the street then ?

Glad those logs looked good, that should be enough fuel for another 25-30whp I would think, I know we can push it past 100% if needed.

Because it's being loaded differently.

Yeah, not enough for E98 though. Would probably have to bump the base. Hopefully DW figures out how to make a 1650ish injector behave on the X.

I don't see myself doing E98 ever, but who knows, maybe I will try it. If i did that I would more than likely run higher base fuel pressure to try to get it to work...but E98 seems like a pain to try and I don't think I want to stress my motor that much...not now anyway. 550whp on Shanes dyno would be cool though

Hmmmm. An Evo X that is fine on the dyno, but has fuel problems that cause knock on the street, where have I heard this before.

Looks like the oil pan was leaking a bit. They are fixing it now. Then I think they are going to bleed the clutch again.

EDIT:

Oil pan sealed now again now, clutch bleed again, we will see how they hold up.

These evo X's cant get away from miscellaneous issues.

Ah, yea they don't seem to go as smooth as the 8/9's...but people have had a lot more time to iron out the 4g63 than the 4b11...we will get to easy street someday too

The oil pan was a used one and was bent slightly in a corner, so they reshaped it and resealed it...so should be good to go now.

X's will get to the point where dsm's, 8/9's are... the point where things like leaks and things needing to be fixed constantly are normal/acceptable on a daily basis.. That's just Mitsu's Style.

Oh joy, I cannot wait, lol

For some X's they are there already, you just have to mod enough stuff with really complicated setups

If tonight's work doesn't pan out should I go with one big fuel pump or add another? lol. From what I've read, parallel 044's is the tits setup. I would probably just do a Magnafuel though.

You're telling me my car's supposed to break and leak things? Huh...

I think it's broken, everything's fine!
