cant wait to hear about how it runs

 

ok guys...

here we go,

fired her up today..

warm water and coolant in her... topped everything off.... flipped the clutch switch...

and on the first crank... she rang to life...

ran her between 2500-3500 rpm... got the water and oil temps up... after about 5 mins, shut her off, sat a dyno blower in front of her, to keep air moving...

checked fluids... no leaks, then repeated... no is time for her first oil change, cut the filter open.... make sure it all looks good, new oil and filter... then repeat... and a little light load on the dyno...

here is a video... (sorry its crappy) a better one tomorrow

hope you guys enjoy....

little valvetrain noise until we get everything built with pressure etc... oil pressure looked good!

cheers

I really like what you have done to the OEM sterring wheel

 

Cool project. Thanks for keeping us posted on the progress. How much will this Evo weigh?

 

very nice, have you consider re-routing the throttle cable under the intake mani to show off your newly painted valve cover and for a more clean look.

 

thanks dude,

ive considered lots of things... but... i want to get through the break-in... then ill re-evaluate everything..

I still have lots to do with the vacuum lines and such.

cheers

guys

very nice car/engine...

 

Very very nice

 

so, can you still use your stock battery?

Edit: I saw the pics on the other page.

 

here are some pics from today....

just strapped her down... wanted to make sure the clutch etc was adjusted properly.

you can see the vacuum block/manifold on the firewall... and the aem true boost on the left hand side of the firewall..

hope you guys enjoy...
