Well Just for info; Last year I launched my evo7 at 31psi - basically side stepped the tilton CC and I think the car only moved about an inche!!
On inspection the damage was;
Gearbox casing completely shattered and busted open to hell.
Three of the bolt/nuts that hold the clutchpack together sheared.
AND A BENT CRANKSHAFT!!
I need one of them there aides

Funny thing David, I *have* been working on these cars since 1998. Not to mention the techs at the dealership and quite a few Mitsu Regional Service reps coming to me with questions on a regular basis Surprisingly, none of the cars I built had issues with *VERY* large cores overheating in 90+ degree weather in Philly traffic---including a couple that were using undersized, crappy Scirocco Style radiators. We tried some of your cores back then, and had issues like a ton of other people. I guess the 20+ Mitsus I've owned, and the hundreds I've worked on that didn't have overheating issues (unless there was something amiss that was causing it and then corrected) were just "lucky draws".
Bad IC setup plain and simple. I suppose if the shoe fits..
Since the X is still pretty well untested in these realms, I'll err (and take risks with my customer's cars) towards safety.
Is the "no longer produced one that "performs the same as the new one" but isn't the new one so other results don't matter" unit that you tested going to be included? How about your great, lincoln-log-style one that you sold for years? And this wouldn't be in D-Sport would it? The one where you're a contributing editor??
That was kind of unstated. "Box"?
I posted up a suggestion, you fired back as if under attack. Guess your hide's a little thin these days. With all of your subtle (and not-so-subtle) attacks on a plethora of other vendors lately, I suppose I can understand why. Glass houses and all....

A few points
I dont think it is appropriate for a vendor to chime in on another vendor's thread (this is my thread) with a lot of
and totally unrelated matters Also - your comments are vendor bashing and against the rules
There is PM - email and telephone is you wish to continue your dialouge with master Buschur you are free to do so there or on NABR

DSSA Do you build all of your own parts? I see you are a gold vendor what do you sell? Not a slam I havent been here long and just want to know what you have built for the evos. I might need something you build since you have been doing this way longer than I have. You probably have much info to share with all the experience with all the street cars you have built. Thats experience you can not put a dollar amount on. Please take your fight with Mr Buschur to a different thread. Thank You
I agree that he should take his comments directly to Mr. Buschur and also feel that he should be given warning points for vendor to vendor bashing

This is what the launching aide is deisgned to help minimize
JFWY!
This is 100% incorrect information. Who is JR Fabrication anyway?
If you meant JM Fabrications, DSSA has zero ownership/employment ties to that business and JM would prefer to stay out of the soap opera drama.
Thank you.

Sorry for the but i hope all these haters understand that it has taken along time for the builders/tuners to share there information. Now that they start to share with the community and what does the community do but talk trash to there findings which they were nice enough to share in the first place.
All these people want to know the secrets to go fast and then when some of those secrets are brought to the surface they are talked down on and criticized. Im sorry for the rant but its actually ruining it for the people that take the information shared and put it to use.
Indy_Evo has made a great product and is willing to share it and look whats happens. He didnt have to tell anybody about it at all and could have just shared it with the tuners/builders and once agian everybody would be scratching there heads wondering how they can go so fast and not break anything. David Buschur did the same thing with the intake manifold and look at what happened. Al shows allot of his findings in videos "which is great and amusing" and now since everybody had to talk trash about Al i have not seen any videos posted since.
ADMIN: Can you please clean up this thread and keep things on track?

I'm going to be building another evo and would love to learn more about how this system works for a more mild setup. I think its a great idea.
But i do not think we are going to be able to keep people quiet that have been rubbed wrong for so long

Poluting tech discussions with these kind of gossiping and insulting is disrespectful to the community and to the forum administration and moderation team.
In my opinion there is no legitamate excuse for this kind of behavior.

I have not posted any links to videos becuase I recieved warning points here for making my videos - for example showing a fast car being driven on the road etc which is against the rules of the forum. If you go to my You Tube channel you can see my videos - some 100 of them. I have been very busy lately but will have more videos as time allows.
