Re: beaterX project thread
Well just like I thought, work owned me most of the rest of the week. Finally got into the garage today and cranked in one bolt after the other for a couple hours...made some progress despite several 'ghey bolts' and my own stumbles :P
Wiring harness ready to string up:
all accessories, pullies, IM, fuel rail, harness, and turbo system bolted up and ready to go back in the...wait what the....
I forgot to bolt up the m-f'ing xfer case! I had left it on the trans jack in the corner of the garage since I was sick of tripping over it....
Gah! I ended up trying to bolt it up through the bottom but the dang thing is so huge even with the downpipe off there's no chance of getting it up through the bottom. So, off with the turbo system again, on with the xfer case, and on with the turbo/mani/downpipe. Since I had the downpipe off I inspected the ef4 again and it's looking ready to rip!
Axles took about 30 seconds to put back in and suddenly I was ready to do the deed.
bolted up the chains, up with the chassis, and yoink in goes the motor/trans/subframe:
Fiddled with the motor mounts for a few minutes and decided it was enough for the day:
So, a few more hours of work and she'll be ready to fire up...hopefully next weekend I'm ripping around in this thing and breaking in the motor/clutch...Proving Grounds I see you coming!

Re: beaterX project thread
How's it feel having a DD other than your Evo so you can work on it at your own pace?

Re: beaterX project thread
Memorial day weekend, I got a few hours here and there to work on the car! I was gunning to fire it up but as I went to button up everything I found a bit of a roadblock...nothing to screw the oil filter into!
The missing fitting is on the old block which is sold and out of state already...sigh. I got some seriously mixed info from a few Mitsubishi dealer parts counters, but I believe what I'm looking for is part MN163825 and I heard everything from it being on backorder/discontinued to 'I can't find it on the parts diagram.' So, anyone that could verify it, I appreciate the help! blackrosenova pulled apart his 1G oil filter housings and they do not appear to be close, way too long.
But, I forged on! All accessories are bolted up and belt is on, power steering is plumbed and filled, radiator hoses and all coolant lines hooked up and coolant is filled.
Filled the trans and xfer case in floppy sandals w/o getting my hands dirty:
Disassembled my Cobb BOV for its yearly lube-up:
Struts are back in, shifter cables and clutch slave done, FMIC mounted back up, UICP, LICP, and intake back on, ECU is in, all wiring connected (except for the battery):
Brakes are apart, I need some brake cleaner then I'll be installing my Girodisc SS pads and some freshly turned evoX MR 2-piece rotors. So close!
Oh, and gotta bleed the ACD line...I got a copy of tephra's tool for doing that, hopefully it works!

Re: beaterX project thread
Any way to McGuyver the part? Any dealerships have scrap blocks laying around that may be a retro fit? I am guessing it is not the same as the base lancer.

Re: beaterX project thread
I met this crazy guy Kung probably like 4-5 years ago, he was working at a small shop near my house and had just bought a shiny new IX...years later he's worked at RS and built the heck out of his car and tonight he called me up...said he had a little thing out of a hyundai 4b11 motor and thought I might want it
Picked it up, threaded it in, fit perfect!!!! Put on oil filter, topped up the oil, checked connections (missed one plug), turned over a few times w/o injectors to help circulate oil and then she fired right up! Got it good and hot while sitting there and then changed the oil.
Also got my front 2-piece MR rotors (thanks Shane!) turned tonight (thanks spazzy!) and they'll go on the car tomorrow with the orange Girodisc SS pads.
After that, bleed the ACD, check the oil and off we go!
