R/TErnie's Evo 9 2.2L 4G64 EFR7670
Lots of updating to do. Been busy actually working on the car to give any updates. Going to bed now.
I opted to do a Top Mount 7670 instead of a bottom mount. One of the gates will be very fun to route. The LICP will also be a riot. The 3.5" downpipe is fitting pretty well surprisingly.
I should've gone with a -8AN oil drain, not -10. Anyway... probably some updates early this coming week...with a ton more pictures. I made a Titanium bracket for my Kinsler FPR
haha... that took about 3 hours.

For you Marshall... I will upload 235MB worth of photos.
I ordered a bunch of AN fittings today. I opted to change my drain line to a -8AN for fitment reasons. -10 is too freaking big and I don't have much space. Freddie also gave me this awesome 1/2" flex pipe that has tube nuts machined and welded onto it. it's pretty awesome. Since I have my 1/2" tube bender which you'll get to see in use in the next post... I can bend up my hardline AND put a flex joint in it. I removed the -10 drain fitting from the EFR and used one of my 3/8 NPT to -8AN fittings (I know... I hate pipe thread) and for the oil pan which I permanently welded in a -10... I ordered a -10 female to -8 male adapter. Easy beans.
I ordered the 1997-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.8L Radiator from Napa. 120 bucks and it'll be here tomorrow. I called Chad at CBRD and contemplated getting his radiator, but I'm broke... so that was an easy decision.
I ordered some Taylor (vertex) battery terminals, heat shrink, ARP 1/8" NPT aluminum weld bunch (for the Deutsch IAT sensor), ARP 3/8-16 bolts and washers for my turbo to manifold bolts. Called the ARP guy and had a nice chat. Accidentally called Taylor Race (makes diffs) instead of Taylor vertex. That was a fun phone call.
I also ordered CCW center caps. I bought my wheels from a guy with an s2000. Means he has 2 different hub bore sizes 64.xmm and 70.1mm... which means that my 67.xmm bore on the Evo fits inside of 2 of them and not the other 2! woop. So I got a hold of Dan and he got them in the mail.

here are part #'s for fans if you dont have them.

thanks I actually have an old 10" fan I'll use on the driver's side and a 12" spal that I'll run on the passenger side. I'll have them both push to give me more room for HUGE TUBES.
Quatermaster 8 leg twin plate 7.25" diameter clutch. I got the street flywheel. meh. I could be convinced I made a bad decision with the street flywheel, but meh.
HRB (Hydraulic release bearing) It's not bolted up here, but I got some SCHS and made it happen. I used washers too.
FYI,
Screws should be used in blind machined holes and bolts should be through bolted and nutted. If you were ever wondering.
Vipec PnP Box for the Evo 9 with the expansion harness.
Cover plate installed. It was hidden in the box. Makes it look like it seals flush with the OEM case.
Nice Duetsch Air temp sensor with connector. Win. Way smaller than the GM air temp sensor. This is what I ordered that ARP weld bung for.
Glovebox out with ECU wires dangling
Vi-PEC with expansion harness loomed with the Oil pressure sensor (I went back and changed this 3 times)
Maf to MAP/IAT.
WBO2 wiring... switched from a serial logging into my laptop with ECU flash to pinned directly into the Ecu.
That pin! Don't mind that it's blue. The AEM output is WHITE for analog 5v, but I swapped the wire color because I didn't want to repin a white wire for the duetsch since the blue wire was going away. Call me lazy or efficient...I'm not sure which one is more apt.
Close up of the pin
How the pins are routed in the ECU harness
The pins will Pin into the OEM connector when installed
where I routed the expansion harness and extra pinned ECU wires through the firewall. Great spot. There wasn't a grommet there which made me scratch my head. Just an extra place for noise to make it's way through?
Factory Hardline brackets... I'm modding them. I know it now, but I was doing it wrong then...
This shows how they break apart.
These things are a pain to remove... good thing i don't have to put them back in... oh wait!
All the under car fuel/brake line holders modded.
Hardlines removed
Fuel lines F&R removed
Fuel Blown after being taken apart 3 times and fixed so makes the pumps sit at the right height.
Empty Engine bay... exciting I know.
My new Parker -8 and -6 Hardline benders. AWESOME! and my trusty flare tool.
Flare tool in more detail so you can see how it works
Flare tool again. Used for Tube and Nut Hardline fluid transfer systems. I think it's clean.
Yes it was difficult to put them back in. Lots of WD-40 later I was in business. Turns out the lines need to be spaced out more. So by filling in the middle one it actually fits and looks a lot nicer.

I'll break this up so it's easier to write details
Down
Up
There I fixed it.
What I thought it would like like...v2.
My 10 micron fuel filter. it's huge.
Where I thought I was putting my Ethanol content sensor...
This area looks so nice now that all the hardline crap is gone.
Hardlines... v3. These look far less complicated than they really are. PITA.
Transmission with Hydraulic Release Bearing installed!
Engine and Flywheel on Hoist
Bolts
It's together
Chain is too close to Magnesium valve cover for my liking... so I went to hardware sales and got a longer chain.
Longer chain is too long... not enough Z on engine hoist....
Plan C... make a spreader bar.
I win.
In! Unfortunately I forgot the transfer case... haha.
In again! Unfortunately I forgot the bolt that goes from the transmission to the engine.
in again for the 3rd time in the same day. In for reals
And it starts going back together.
Side shot of the engine.

yeah the ethanol content sensor is flippin huge! i am planning on mounting it upside down to the strut bar with a 90*-6 going in it from the regulator and a strait -6 down to the return line. are you planning on running all the fuel strait thru it? i hear it can only flow 200lt/hr max. i might need a bypass loop to keep base fuel pressure low enough.
