Just got my new motor put in and running! Dealership told me to give it 1,000 miles and then I'm back to my old self again. Then it's off to AMS for cams, cam gears, EMS, injectors, ic pipes, new ic, studs, and road tune. So if you live around chicago and see a guy with a black evo who is smiling like an dumbass sometime next month, that's me!

 

NICE ill be there right with you in 2 days. Just finished my full engine build from crank to cams and am taking wed off to put it back in the car. One thing make sure they didnt put synthetic in for oil for the break in period. Also i have done allot of reserach and most the tuners say after the first 50-100 miles bring that thing up to redline. But you might not feel comfortable doing that. I will give it a try and se ehow it works. They say it will help the performance down the road. Anyway congrats and have fun!!!

Is your evo at AMS or at another tuner somewhere?

 

I did everything myself. Blueprinted and balanced. .20 over ross pistons, eagle rods, BR valvesprings and retainers, Tomei Cams, Port and Polish head and Intake Manifold, Pocket port the Head, 1mm over Sodium filled Nitrate Valves, ARP everything ect ect.. Of course i got the machine work done at a shop but as far as the build i ahve done everything.

damn. i wish i had that kind of time, maybe i'd be pulling higher gpa then. alas i always feel like i'm a chicken with my head cut off.

 

HAHA i just noticed i have been talking to you in 2 differnt threads and PMS. LOL.. Anyway ya i mean i had allot of fun doing it and i learned allot but i did not like the 1 1/2 months of having my car sit in my garage while i still made payments. But live and learn i guess.
