BEISSEN's Build
Ok I bought the car less then 2 years ago and had got the bad side of the deal as far as when getting a used Evo its either good or bad mine was bad. When I got it, it needed to be retuned,Replace the Head Gasket and needed allot of small items like exhaust "had a weld on tip on stock pipes", had 3 holes in the UICP, Replace the Tial 50mm BOV with a stock one, get a new MBC and replace the wheels which were rota torques 18 x 8.5 with horriable offsets and had spacers in just the rear to sit flush with the front tires. Then fix allot of small things that were done poorly.
It was not long I had the tires replaced by a member on DCEVOCLUB doing a direct swap for stock GSR VIII Enkeis w/New tires. I had the car retuned for the cams and had the head gasket replaced within one month and swapped the BOV out and had all the holes taken care of and also ordered the HKS Hi-Power with a test pipe. At this point the car took a major transformation from here on out. When I got the car here are the modifications XS POWER 3.5 core FMIC with short route pipeing & Tial 50mm Stock Intake with K&N Filter Comp 272 Cams ARP Head Studs E-bay 3" Downpipe Gutted Cat Defi Mechanical Boost Gauge AEM A/F Gauge walboro 255 lph ACT Clutch Rota Torques 18 x 8.5 5mm Spacers in the rear Extended wheel studs in the rear I bought a set of IX SE BBS Wheels for summer time and the VIII Enkeis for winter and replaced allot of parts on the car to get back up to where I want it. Current Mods Engine FiD Equal Length Tubular Manifold Full 304SS "Even the Flanges" 84mm Ported FP Red FP Gen II Install Kit Comp 272 cams ARP Head studs Omni Power 4 bar MAP Sensor for SD JM Fab Intake Pipe "Modifed for SD" JM Fab Oil Catch Can" New" FID Vacuum Block "New" HKS Super Mega Flow Filter Kit Forge RS BOV VTA ETS 3.5 Core ETS 3" UICP ETS v2 LICP "Modified for Dump Clearnace" Injen Super SES Downpipe "Replaced E-bay 3" DP" DTM 3" Test Pipe HKS Hi-Power Cat Back Walboro 255 Agency Power Front Motor Mount Spark Tech non-CDI Ignition Toxic Fab Cam Sensor Heat Sheild Suspension/Brakes Stock Bremebos Slotted and Drilled Rotors Swift Sport Springs Blox Shift Knob Electronics AEM Boost, A/F & Oil Presure Gauges Gruppe 52mm Molded Gauge Pod Dash kit HKS Type 0 TT HKS EVC VI Boost Controller w/Easy Writer Software Alpine Headunit Here are some current pictures http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/HKSEVCVI.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2.../DashSetup.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/Fullshot.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...s/IMG_0383.jpg Newly Done Valve Cover with toxic fab Cam Sensor Cover"NEW 11/02" http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...t/IMG_0493.jpg Here are the parts that just came in this week. "NEW 11/02" http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...t/IMG_0489.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...t/IMG_0490.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...t/IMG_0491.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...t/IMG_0492.jpg Ok well here is a Update and a small write up on my install of the FID Vacume Distrobution Block. This was a very easy stright forward install and the Block is desined for the Evo VIII-IX a X is being made the bracket is whats I guess is vehicle specific but again there are those who will do as they want and mount in a differant location. Parts and block. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0590.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0591.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0592.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0593.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0594.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0595.jpg Step 1. Remove the Two 14mm Bolts on the center section of the strut bar. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0599.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0601.jpg Step 2. Remove the 3 14mm nuts on the shock tower holding the strut bar on the passenger side to allow clearance for the plate to slide in place. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0602.jpg Step 3. Assemble the block as needed with givin fittings I used Thread Tape to make a perfect seal. I had smaller vacume line so I think it was 3/16 so my socket was a 7/16 to tighten the fittings into the block. Step 4. Install the FID Block. Step 5. Lightly tighten the center bolts and then tighten the strut bolts all the way then finish with the center bar bolts. Last Step Install vacume lines into the Block Useing one as a main source. I did not have a 1/2 line to use so I used the 3/16 from the manifold in the Picture its the first fitting on the passenger side. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0606.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0614.jpg Now for my install I just ran the hose where I had it "T" so I could run my Boost Gauge and read it and have a solid line there now and its on the block with the rest of the hoses. Before http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0597.jpg After http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0608.jpg I have in my setup the BOV,Boost Controller Solinoid and the Boost Gauge all ran on the block with no more "T" fittings. Main Source of vacume "#1 passenger Side Fitting" Before http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0598.jpg After http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0614.jpg Before with "T" Fitting connecting the BOV and the Boost Controller Soloniod http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0596.jpg After with no fitting http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0607.jpg Here is a Shot of it all together with new Parts installed currently mod list updated on page 1. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0616.jpg New FID Manifold http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0611.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0613.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...1/IMG_0612.jpg Tuned at Ptuning 1st time 100 degrees outside high humidity http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2..._Dyno_Tune.jpg Open House/Dyno Day Ptuning "no retune" 10/17/2010 http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...10-17-2010.jpg I will add more and update the progress and results when completed this will all be done on straight 93 oct for tuning no Meth no Race fuel and no E85.
