2026: What Did You Do To Your Evo Today?
Put some new german castrol in the engine and BG II in the transmission. Tranny shifts MUCH smother than before and requires less effort to row through the gears. I am abit concerned that the BG II may be a bit too thin for high stress usage, but since I don't track or launch the car at all it should be fine.
Installed an HTA71 w/84 mm FP FA cover and TiTek O2 housing. It was a lengthy process but fortunately I had no broken bolts or studs (surprising since everything was factory with 80k miles, I'd like to thank Kroil for the assist) and even the O2 sensor came off without a hitch. The biggest pain was the intake pipe - I have Injen piping and intake current and wasn't aware the Injen UICP relocates the BOV so I ordered the FP intake but couldn't use it. I was able to make the injen pipe work though, surprisingly. Otherwise it was pretty smooth sailing. I didn't take the radiator out - I could see where it might help but it's not necessary.
Cooler weather has graced us in Texas! Filled up on E85 and going for a cruise, after that going to get my SS clutch line and bushings installed and hopefully the previous owner left enough wire to the head unit so I can wire in a new one.
