My VIII has been on and off the road a few times .

But the good news is that it is back on road again .

Some parts have been eliminated, changed, modified, etc. I think overall, the car has been improved.

A build motor is nice, but that only includes rods and pistons and machine work.

This time around, I did more things to the Evo than at any time before now.

So it is runing very good as a result.

Here are many pictures of the detail work that went into it, to make sure everything runs well. And some pictures of the car as it is now.

Some other changes: Now using a single Walbro Hi Flow Pump, a thick Cossworth Head Gasket, New 950cc Injectors,
Transmission re-Done and Tranfer Case re-done by Pollo.

New ECU Tune by TTP Engineering for Pump Gas, now using Competition 272 Cams, Etc.

There is zero Lag on this set-up, and the boost does not drop much at all.
Over all, I am very happy with everything.

Here are 2 Dyno videos of the car:

Nice setup. Congrat on the new power

 

Good luck Mannie.. Keep us informed on how it holds up this time around please..

Mike

 

Thank you, Mike.

It should last a while again.

The car has 77, 890 miles on the odometer now.

I never had an issue with it until the past 3,000 miles.

It has been a good car for the past 5 1/2 years, and as you can see, it is practically brand new.

No warranties in the World of Racing as you know.

You can build one today, and it can blow up as soon as tomorrow.

I have been driving it for 2 weeks now, and I can tell you, it runs like a dream.

So far so good.

By the way, I found the answer as to why my nice engine build failed.

So now I can concentrate on new and better things.

the dip between 6100rpm and 6850rpm should be tuned out...drop a few degrees of timing and add fuel so the ecu stops doing it. other than that nice parts list and build
