I have been toiling and slaving away to get our Evos ready for the DSM Shootout this weekend - my 6th. A lot of little problems arose in the last two weeks. Apparently, one or more of my valve springs became somewhat weak for some reason and was floating open at high rpms. This condition resulted in a small crack occuring in my exhaust port.

6 days from the big show and stuck with a cracked head was not a very good place to be.

Thanks to the kind assistance of Buschur Racing I was able to secure a bone stock head to use so I could make the shootout. Thanks to Buschur as there was no other way I could get a head on such short notice.

Today I thrashed for 8 hours to get the head back on the car and button up everything and get it back on the dyno for some last minute tuning and testing.

I was so happy to hear the sound of that first pull and see that my power is right up near 800 whp - 794 corrected

The stock head may be holding me back slightly up top but the TQ was wonderful - 610 !

I am so happy to see my whip ready to head back out to Ohio for the Shootout and share a wondeful day at the track with so many other Evo Fans.

Hard work, sweat, blood and tears and the fuel to get a racer to the race, making the show is often half the battle when you work on a shoe string budet.

This is my car on Q16 at 41 psi of boost





Here is a interesting comparision between the HTS GT35 R Bad Bish II on our dyno at 38 psi of boost - vs my Gt37 at 41 psi of boost

 

You're the man Al! Combined with Buschur that's a great team. Best of luck to you and everybody else going this weekend to Ohio. Can't wait to meet ya down here in Tx in Sept!

 

This is with a 2.0 or 2.3l?

Crazy torque!

 

Yes the TQ is rather suprizing - its a Buschur Alum Block 2.0 L

Good luck at the shootout Al

 

Aluminium ????

I think my block is not ....

Never heard of a 4G63 with alum. block

 

He meant Aluminum Rod..

Good luck Al.. I cannot wait for the shootout.. I dropped some serious cheddar on a high def video camera.. I expect you to be on your A game for the camera, Bro..

 

The Buschur short blocks come with alumn or steel rods - in my case I have the alumn rods

Al

 

See you soon bro !

 

Good example of how power doesn't drop off even after 9.5k rpm with turbo's this size.

 

^^ he said BRO......good luck bro

 

Good job Al and really nice to see that the stock head is working good.

Looking forward to see you at the shootout.

Gudmundur

 

See you soon Al!

Congrats!

 

Nice Al! Its like AWDMike said... bring the camera. You are just to funny with that thing

 

I posted a video of the process of tuning in the Dyno Flash You Tube Channel

I cant link it here as it includes a 1 through 4 pull of the Bad Bish on a road- not allowed here
