Worry about it (getting pulled over & REF'd) every time I drive

your car should be easy enough to return to stock.

Thanks Don

Actually have been pulled over approx 4 times in the Evo & have never been ticketed or my hood popped

Reason: Older, cool dude behind the wheel (been lucky)

I don't drive enough to get pulled over. Lol

Your car stands out much more than mine. Mine is a simple gray car.

nothing special here. Just a simple Lancer. Does this look modified to you?

what are these injectors worth? Since I bought larger ones, I only need these to drive to RRE so I can get a retune with bigger injectors. Wonder if anyone buy these and for what price (I have no plans to have them cleaned again)?

Quick update, as of Saturday, my head got sand blasted to remove all the buildup. Notice the roughness around my intake seats. Going forward, I will only fill up with E85 if I know I can refuel with 91 before letting it sit over 2 weeks.


Here are the +1mm oversized valves. The seats still need to be cut, so maybe another 2 more weeks to complete.

Also, I picked up a spare head that was "race prepped"
What's wrong with this picture?


Here's a closer view:

I also found a splinter of aluminum barely hanging on from getting milled. Makes me wonder how trust worthy these race shops are.

Looks great there Don Big O Valves

With the all the breathing mods, have you considered the Skunk intake mani ?

Building a short block to match these flow mods will be needed I know youre working on that

This is an easy 500 WHP (DJ) tune

I'm not sold on bigger manifolds and throttle body. I actually think the 71HTA will run out of breath around 6000 RPM. I may need to start looking at the FP Green for the better bang for the buck.
Once I get my engine back together, I need to do compression test to evaluate my piston rings. If good, then prepare for retune. If bad, push up my build on spare engine.
I'm not aware of any way to test my rings with head off. So it's just a waiting game at this time.

Update: oversized exhaust valve seats are cut!

Looks great there Don. I see they use Dykem to die the milling surfaces for a clearer view of the work being done

Looks proper

FIC 1650 are actually 1400cc @ 43 psi?
