Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Just got done doing 35 miles of vacuum pulls, well part of that time was "mini" vacuum pulls as I had cars around me but a constant speed up and let er wind down the whole way!
Got a CEL already though, p0140 for my o2 sensor. I am guessing that is from the new downpipe though. I cleared it for now.

Good deal. What motor oil are you using for break-in?

I think just castrol 10w-40 non sythetic.
Got the p0140 again already, glad I have a tactrix now so I can clear it. I'll have shane disable it during the tune. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Very nice, A lot of people say that they don't seem to dyno more power with the extra compression, but the butt dyno loves it.
No replacement for displacement!!!
Feel free to stop by anytime if you get bored.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Washed the car today, I need a good camera, the iphone doesn't cut it. But the car just looked good from here, I felt the need to take a pic.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Got just under 300 miles on the car now, it feels great so far! After about 100 miles the engine started to feel like it tightened up or something, hard to explain, I think its a good thing 
I did dozens of vacuum pulls so I should be good on that front...tune is a coming soon. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
It's tough to say for sure for two reasons.
1. I haven't gone over like 3, maybe 4psi.
2. The new motor is totally different from the old one, 10% more displacement and compression.
But initial impressions are very good, meaning I think this thing even with the tubular mani and being a bigger turbo will spool pretty damn quick. It feels peppy for sure. Before I didn't feel much around 3k rpms, now it wants to spool around there on the new setup.
I am hoping for full boost around 4k, but we will see.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I don't know if you will get "full boost" by 4000, I know the EF2 would, but also depends on boost and such. Good luck. Let me know how the tunage goes.

remember this is a 10 not an 8/9.
My black hit 36-37psi by 4200rpms on DB's dyno last time on my 2.0L.
With an extra 10% displacement it should be another 400rpms or so lower on the EF4 I would think.
The EF4 is a bit bigger so it could be more like 4200-4400rpms but I wouldn't think over 4500rpms on the setup, we will see. I am also not boosting high 30's this time, so that is another factor. |

Andrew is getting full boost from his EF3 with a 2.3L faster than a 2.0L spools a Green.
