looks like your doing a good job putting it back together

 

looks really good man..caint wait to see it all complete.

 

Well its been a while since I have updated this thread, but I haven't forgotten about the car. I have been pretty busy working on other projects in the shop. I have really been waiting for some small parts to come in for the car. Like oil and cooling lines for the turbo and a MAF sensor.

I was able to spend some time working on the car last night and got it running. It feels good to hear the car finally run after owning it for nearly a month!

There will be more updates to come as I have a nice long break coming up for Christmas!

 

awesome man! i plan on picking up a salvaged evo or a shell and rebuilding it in the next couple years. just need to get out of this condo so i have a real garage to work in.

keep up the good work!

 

great job...car is looking like its coming together very quick

 

Welcome to the community and good luck with your build. I'm sure you will be able to find everything you need on here.

 

I would not mind doing something like that myself. Its interesting to see the progress when building a car up. How much did you get the car for. I am new to the site too.

 

Well if you need any help locating one let me know! I buy from the insurance auctions every week.

 

I love taking a car that was heading for the salvage yard and turning it into a nice car again. Its much more fun then buying a new one and just driving it! haha

I picked the car up pretty cheap but I bought it not knowing if it ran. It turned out to be a really nice car though.

 

Hey if you dont mind me asking, how much did you buy the wrecked evo for? I plan on doing this quite soon.

 

Little update. The car is back from the frame shop. After getting the impact bar, I noticed the passenger frame horn was still a little tweaked so I had that taken care of. The MAF sensor also showed up. Boy the car idles a lot better with that! haha

 

Also, can someone tell me where I can find the lines to hook up these three ports?

Do I just tee off of the BOV line?

 

The lines on the turbo & wastegate are just vacuum line that go to the boost controller. You can pick it up at any parts store. Make sure you zip tie it on though. The nipple on the intake takes a little bit larger hose & goes to the valve cover for crank case vent. That also could be picked up at any parts store.

 

actually after looking at your engine pics again I see that the crank case vente tube is still on the valve cover. It's the one on the drivers side front corner of the valve cover. Looks like it's either just tucked out of the way or it's routed to a catch can. I'd guess its just tucked out of the way since it looks like the stock line still. Just route it to the nipple on the intake pipe.

 

Thanks! I got the vent tube hooked up but since I dont have a MBC can I am not sure where to run the other vaccum lines from the turbo and wastegate.

I see that there are two nipples under my air filter mounted to the frame with a harness plugged in it. Any chance this is the place where I should run the lines.
