just check the oil level.

 

stocked up on Diaqueen, Amsoil and MT90 for a fluid change this weekend

 

^ +1 lol

 

Babied it all day after installing brand new rotors / pads / steel braided lines

 

just ordered a couple parts for my evo 4,i do have a question though, i took her for a drive and under full boost (12psi) the car jerks possible wastegate problem? what do u guys think.

 

switch to 93 from E85 last week... its slow..

 

ask and you shall receive. i just wish i snapped a pic or two before i tucked it all away and while i built them but this should do:

new style bosch ev1 pigtails from ballenger motorsport, very well built, highly recommended.
heat shrink the two wires together near the connector for enhanced durability.
installed clean cut mesh jacket and heat shrinked the end to the connector so it doesn't fray or move around.
cut off stock connectors and soldered on, then heat shrinked.
mesh jacket covered and heat shrinked that end as well.
labeled each connector.
OCD like a ****!

also similar treatment for my camshaft sensor wire that was extended as part of the wire tuck.

 

Momo, that's nice and clean! What kind of fuel rail r u running?

 

thanks, it it's all b/c of the aluminum valve cover being powder coated wrinkle black and the wire tuck that makes it look clean.

it's an AMS rail (gold) along with the AMS FPR kit.

 

Changed the oil so far. Anyone else have such a hard time getting the filer off..

 

I had a hard time getting my last one off. I only use OEM filters and I'm the one that put it on last time. I always just hand-tighten but damn if they get stuck on their good sometimes. I bought the filter cap thing that you use with a ratchet, works great. It would be nice if OEM filters had a hex bolt on the tops like some Toyota filters do...

 

Ordered my rear rotors and new pads all the way around.

 

Yeah I only use the OEM ones and put them on hand tight. But they do get stuck on there good. And its so hard to get to. I'll have to look into one of those. I just have a regular oil filter wrench that goes around the filter but there is like no one to get it to work good

 

another reason to use k&n oil filters.

i only put them on hand tight so i can typically take them off by hand but the k&n filter is nice to have in case it gets a bit slippery or tight.

 

how tight you put it on determines how hard it is to get off later... I only ever use my hands for oil filters. Also make sure you put some oil on your fingertip and rub it around the rubber seal on the filter. This helps get it off but also ensures you don't double-gasket and paint your driveway with oil
