lol im sory bro I'm new to these forum things so I'm trying to get used to it I found some links earlier but when I try to look for something that I need help on the topics go randomly so its kinda hard so I just ask. but hey thanks for your help at least im learning new stuff so later on maybe I can help someone else

 

Just an update, was planning on installing my new tie rod ends today but the dips*** ordered the wrong one so now have to wait until tomorrow, I think I might start going elsewhere for parts...

 

So those dbags did it again!!!! Grrrrrr.. this time they said that the warehouse had none even though the dude once again said there on order in stock and would be here wednesday. Now no matter what I do it will at leat be another day . I think my long relationship with this parts store is over... Side note anyone here do there own front end alignment? I have the manual but it gives me degrees for a standard value and I dont have a turning radius guage. Basically just wanna know how much tow in (inches if posible) I need.

 

of subject and maybe waaayyy back there but are you running VTA ir recirc...

 

Stock evo 9 recirc bov. Can't run vta without speed density. Or really careful drving so you don't stall on decelleration but where's the fun in that!! Lol

 

Not true. You just need a valve closed at idle. Look into a forge twin piston or even a hks ssqv and you wont have a problem. A recirculating dv/bpv will be open at idle and will stall out between shifts.

 

I think he just meant that you can't run the Evo bov's vta without speed density.

 

think you may be right. Missing the word "it" which would of clarified it.

 

Yup my bad was kinda rushing.

 

Well I FINALLY got some tie rod ends, installed them then using a method I found online did my own front end alignment. I must say it turned out very well it is wayyyyy better now then before however I still have the squeel Soooo I still cant drive it . Just gonna have to drive my 10mpg (no joke) truck until I can get tires and a new wheel bearing again...

 

That sucks what is wrong with you car? And hey 10mpg is a lot better then 7 but still sucks compared to 27 like we get in our lancer's!

 

Well long story short I effed up the pass tie rod trying to remove it when doing my turbo install. This caused my alignment to be off putting too much stress on that wheel bearing ruining it. So that coupled with the tire situation my car will be turboed for over two months before I can Officially "drive it. on a side note so when I ported my intake I don't think I really smoothed it out. I mean its not jagged but could this be why my hp numbers seem low? Does turbulence in there have major effect on power?

 

When you port something you are trying to remove turbulence. So yes it could effect your hp number. And when you ported it what did you use to do it and what grit sandpaper did you finish smoothing the edges with?

 

Umm ya... Thats a big negative lol. I just dremelled it out and semi smoothed it and didnt think about anything else. Thinking since its down at the moment anyways I might pull the intake mani back off and smooth everything out. What do you think grit I should use to smooth it all out?

 

So just an update..... that is there are non lol. I am very happy with my alignment although I am slightly off (not any more than any time I have gone to a shop and had it done) I am going to do an adjustment after getting my tires and wheel bearing and gonna take pics and do a write up in the How To section as its really easy and extremely accurate. I havent been driving it much as the bearing still squeals but not as bad as before. Almost done with a tranny swap which will help pay for some of the tires as soon as thats done I can pull my car in the garage and probably tear it apart, gotta do the wheel bearing, shift over the radiator and some other little things
