Well, my parts have been trickling in slowly, so i decided to take some pics of some of the parts, then continue to update the thread as they make it on the car with a video to follow.

UPDATE! Pics on pg# 2
UPDATE! TURBO HERE!!! Pg# 3
UPDATE! Turbo install pics Pg #4

I went with:

FP Evo green turbo with all the options
SS 02 housing
880cc injectors
Walbro fuel pump
Innovative LC-1 Wideband controller
GSC valve springs and retainers
Cosworth evo 9 cams
All motor mounts (front, 2 sides, rear roll stop)
Schroth racing 4pt ASM harnesses
Exedy twin disc cerametallic clutch
ARP headstuds
One step colder plugs
And im sure theres more i forgot...



Heres some that i have now....

 

Youre not going to need those valve springs and retainers. Sell them and buy something else cool!

 

Everyones telling me that, i want to rev it out to 8500rpm to cross the line in 4th without worrying about floating a valve. Its a piece of mind for me.

 

looking good, hopefully ill have a nice set up soon.
have fun with it!

 

Ah thats right, dont know why but I was thinking you had an EVO8, missed the Cosworth part of the mods!

 

Soon2BEVO, How do you like your green compared to the stocker?

 

nothing like doing it right the first time!

Good choice of mods and doing it all in one shot!


Cheers!

 

Don't rev the stock block too high, or you'll be stretching rod bolts and crying about it

Looks good though! ETA on the green?

 

some one is happy!!

 

I ordered my green from FP about 2 weeks ago. They told me that it takes about 1 to 1 and a half weeks to build and ship it. So i should have it very soon.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, more pics shortly...

 

you must being buying it brand new.

i ordered under teh exchange policy...

still waiting, ordered 4/9/07

 

Yeah i did. I was gonna have mine rebuilt, but i sold it to a member on the forums to reduce downtime. Hope you get yours soon man.

 

+1 on the stretched rod bolt issue - especially if you are planning to rev 8K plus.

My '03 is apart right now because the number one rod bearing spun. The bolts on #1 were definitely stretched. The rebuild is getting ARP bolts on the bottom end as well, already had them in the head.

The car did see alot of hard use; the first track day was under 1k miles with temp plates and the engine made it to almost 40k before letting go. It is rough to know I could have prevented this however.

 

sounds like fun when it all comes in, keep us posted

 

Coming together very nicely. If you going to void the warrant w/ mods, do it the right way.
