well im pretty sure if I got an evo I wouldnt know what to do in the first place. Im glad I took baby steps into learning tuning. I still have a few questions here and there but its all a learning process

 

Some of the guys I've met with evos....*sigh*. So, what's the boost set at right now? "I dunno" Do you have any plans for anything? "I dunno" Is it low on blinker fluid? "I bet so, I haven't checked in a while"

You're certainly right, doing things yourself is the only way to learn. Reading for hours on end still didn't prepare me entirely for putting the turbo on.

It's not just evo's though, it's with anything...friend bought a cobalt SS...and I asked, so what turbo comes on those? Does it have an intercooler? What kind of oil are you using? Does it have a LSD? What is the Redline? Single or 2 cam?

His response..."I...uh, not sure, but I'm gonna put a cold air intake on it..."

 

Dont forget the hydrocelator and muffler bearings those damn things are a pain to get to!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

also the (H.M.P.S) hydraulic mirror pressure sensor is a pain to install!

 

wait what do I do about my flux capicator its not fluxing hahaha

 

ok so I think I found out my idel issue, my rom was completely jacked up and im not sure exactly what happened. So I used a rom from a 2003 evo 8. Right now the rom im using is going to be a complete evo 8 rom. Im going to take it slow from there and see how everything goes. I can lower the timing if I have knock issues but I got a good feeling im going to have less problems tomorrow!!! I will keep everyone posted about the new test rom.

 

What part was jacked up? So your basically starting over from scratch? Why not just copy over the values from the evo 8 rom that will fix your idle issue?

 

no idle is still not working I cant fiure out why, im going to use the stock latency and decrease it by 1 perent on each test start hopefully that corrects it

 

Congrats on the motor purchase!!!!

 

thank you zulu for helping me out with the motor, spring setup will start in march

 

hey guys im selling zulus ported head because I have to buy the whole motor to prevent further damage so if someone wants it im selling it for 350 with or without payments.

if your interested please let me know

 

Pm me the details on the head

 

ok guys there was a misunderstanding I thought zulu had an extra ported head with the motor im buying off him, but hes actually using it for his car so the head won't be for sale unless zulu can get another one.


I already started on my evo 8 interior. I bought these parts for $20.00 which was a steal. Zulu ill be sending 40 probably by tomorrow.

here are some pics

 

well little update running 12 pounds is pretty cool still having a little bit of idling issues im almost there to solving the clue, my afrs dont drop as low and my stalling isnt that bad. im going to keep playing with the stepper values and if that doesnt work I will tweak the throttle body screw and open up the butterfly a little bit more for idle and increase the fuel so I dont lean out.

also installed my evo 8 wing, itsr really sick. I made one hole a little to big in the rear part because freaking ebay sellers cant tell me everything wrong with the spoiler "broken bolt in the back found out during install..." like me and my brothers say all idiots need a good A** wooping!

 

Damn ebay seller anyways , so you were stalling out? That happened to me the other day but it was my own fault. My work hosed me and I was pretty upset so I flew outta the parking lot and just baked my tires to redline through 2nd and 3rd. When I finally let off the car died I was like oh ****!!!!!. She fired right back up and never had another issue but I babied it the rest of the way home.
