ya ya chris no matter what you do you still my little *****$.. anywas listen to this guy because he knows what he is doing. but I have no idea how you take your engine out with no TRQ wrench??? I mean spark plugs need to TRQ wrench...

if I were you I would take the car to a shop and pay $$$$ to get it fixed... this guy is dumb and with out the right TRQ specs i can tell you that your fly wheel will fly front of you on the first rev.

 

Tell you what then. You sign a agreement on that and ill fly down and get it running for him. All i will ask in return is for the engine he can have the rest....lol.....

Sorry but i have seen worse damage including my car and becouse i dont trust any shop around my area i rebuilt it from the crank up to the cams. Everything!!! Kinda sucks that it only had 9K miles but thats what you get for trying to push the HP i was on stock internals and be border line. All i can say is it was worth it in the end. I cant wait to get back onto the dyno real soon!!!

Chris

 

how much was your car again? $3,500.00 only? if that is the price of my car, I would save tons of money by going it this way but for a full price evo, that is what I call poor judgement.

 

Ahh honey thanks for the kind words! I told you once you get that little thing of yours up from the 2" you measured (HARD) then i will give it another shot!

Anyway how is the east coast treating you?

Chris

 

thx 2k4evoviii .... i have talked and showed more pics to 2k4evoviii and he seems to see it my way....it isnt as bad as it seems to be. Yes i agree wit everyone on this forum, the guy did screw up, but when things go bad in life, u dont just give up and throw it out and get another one. I'm trying to fix things because it isnt that bad. If the tranny cracked in half or something, believe me...welding wouldn't even be a thought, i'd tell his *** to give me $3,000 so i can get another tranny. but yea...last night...i found a torque wrench in his toolbox (guess he had 1 ehh), and 2k4evoviii gave me the torque specs so i untorqued the flywheel,pressure plate assembly and torqued it to specs and hopefully nothing else is wrong. I separated the tranny/TC WITHOUT scratching up the entire thing. Today, gonna put the tranny/engine together using the torque wrench and torque specs. See how things get better? Anyway, will keep posting... oh here are some pics of my old clutch, BTW: I bought this car off a friend, KNOWING he doesnt know how to take care of this car that well. Only thing he knows about the evo is that it need premium octane gas and idle the car before shutoff (no tt). But i took it in hand hoping to bring it back to where its supposed to be. I got a handfull of redline gear oils on me, and use this forum as a mitsu manual on my evo. Well here's the clutch he burnt out (when i got the car, it was already slipping)...

BTW: What are the torque specs for the flywheel again, forgot where my pdf file went, because i wanna tell the mechanic the specs for it and see what he says..

 

Bolts for TC to Tranny = 50+6 ft lbs
Flywheel = 98+3 ft lbs
STOCK Pressure Plate = 13+2 ft lbs
Transmission to Engine = 32+3 ft lbs

Let me know if you need anything else

Chris

 

haaa i love this clutch no meat on it at all..... smooth like chris's a$$

 

LOL.... Ahh the things we miss in life! Your hot wife and the things your hot wife did!! Say hi for me!

But ya that clutch i would say is shot. I guess you could put dials on it and make it a clock

Chris

 

HAHAHA.... LMAO Chris..................

 

This is why I paid 450 for my install. It's not that easy on the evo.

 

Leave my hot wife alone you fat bastard. after all she did I decided to keep her


NOW I AM INCHARGE OF MONEY AND BANK ACCOUNTS

 

ahh another day of this crap...today went the best outta any other day. Basically meaning nothing went wrong...after i told him to retorque everything down to spec, we dropped the engine into the bay along wit the tranny and TC. 3 of the mounts are completed except for the front one. The throttle cable, AC, power steering, and some other sensors n stuff are done. Both the axles are in, the brakes are on ready for wheels. Some of the IC piping is on... tomorrow is the last day and the outcome of this mess which has seem to come into line now thx to help from some guys on here and a fellow mechanic friend of mine around here who works for a Toyota sports tuning shop (good stuff at the shop. 2jz gsV300, TRD supra pushin nearly 800). Anyways...tomorrow we only need a lil bit of work... (Radiator needs to be put on, some more senors, rest of the soft IC/hard piping, intake/bov, bolt up down pipe, plastic undertray, driveshaft, fill tranny/TC, and change rear diff oil, put on the wheels, start the car and take it for a drive PRAYING TO GOD that it runs as it should...then come back, give it a thorough wash and take it out for a night breakin that damn clutch in properly.

 

btw: is there any things i should know before i diagnose the condition of the car? ie: weird noises i should be hearing cuz i have a new clutch setup, anything of that sort would help. thx!

 

Before you seal the deal make sure it goes into gear. I did my clutch only to find out the pressure plate was faulty and when I turned the car on it toated a brand new pressure plate and the newly resurfaced flywheel which was installed correctly. Make sure linkage is on correctly. If anyone pushed the clutch peddle in while slave was off tranny, you will have to bleed the clutch.

so make sure it pops into gear BEFORE i turn the car on? ie: run it thru every gear and if it goes in smooth, its all good to go and start it up?
