So sorry to hear about this David, I've checked my screws due to them fears myself several times! Basically each time I've rebuilt my car I check them in fear it could one day happen.

Can't wait to see it together again and making power I've been checking your thread daily waiting to see more numbers!

 

I can't wait either! I'm so ready to drive the wheels off this beast this summer! I can't wait to autocross it with this power band and the new rear diff set up. I changed springs last fall, sway bars etc. I'm hoping it's a big improvement. No more autocrossing on M/T Drag Radials either and the power down low dwarfs the old power. Then I've got the new wheels and tires for the drags.............believe me, I didn't want this, it SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS!!! Nobody to blame, fix it, rebuild it and get back at it.

I told my brother I wish there was a car God. I'd have liked to been offered to just pay the price up front and never had it happen....

 

If it were only that easy

 

Sorry to hear this Dave. Its like the Evo Community lost a little Baby lol...

Cant wait to the New thread comes out with some BAD BISH results.

Good luck man

That really sucks David, Sorry to hear about your motor. Will you be posting pics?

This thread definitely proves dumb **** can and does happen to anyone. Sucks to hear Dave, as I know you were very happy with this set up. Hopefully the new motor will be just like this one (minus self destruct mode)!

 

Same thing happened to my friends Talon awhile back. Good luck on the new motor

 

Supra guys were having a very similar problem with the Hypertune throttle bodies.

 

That sucks! Sorry to hear

 

Wow man that is a good bit of info. I will definately make sure I always make sure the butterfly screws are either loctited or something to make sure they stay stuck.

 

I feel your pain. I´m yet to finish rebuilding my engine and gearbox but sometimes I think that problems like that can happen. I hope not. I can´t take more problems. Not until I have some fun with the car.

 

We had a hypertune Tb come apart on the dyno with Brian Krocks car. The car reved to the moon and I shut it down as soon as I could only to find the screw in the intake manifold. Boy was he lucky.

Damn. That sucks.

 

thats all i would do if that happend to me
