I assume you have all new gaskets for exhaust and a fuel pump? list looks good post up pics and enjoy it! install is half the fun. also what are you tuning with ecuflash/evoscan?

I do have new gaskets for everything, no fuel pump. Do I really need one? Theres a wally 255 here in the classifieds I could get.

The fuel pump is needed yes , they cheap hundred something new.I believe 03 was the first years for the non return fuel system correct? Idk much on theem I know the return system ones need a rising rate regulator.

I'll grab a new fuel pump, I must've read right over that portion lol.


I'll take some more pics tonight of all my turbo bits!

Alright boss, also done forget fluids, new plugs, run your fuel low and replace with 93 unless you already run that. Also you auto or manual.

I'm pretty sure the 02-03 have a return fuel system so you would need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. As for the fuel pump you only need one if you run 10+ PSI and same for the EVO 8-9 Maf and 440cc injectors but might as well get it if you have the rest already! The stock engine can take 10 psi easy if it's healthy.... i have proof from running it on the track for over 2 years no problem! If u ever need help u can send me a PM i come on once in a while to check my messages.
Good luck!

I'll probably just buy the new fuel pump, just so there wont be any issues with fuel starvation. My engine is a bit tired at 175k, but i have a fresh head i can slap on if the need does arise. I still plan on 10psi!{thumbup}:rolleyes:

Pics as promised

Looking good sir, and you will like that cutout if it's your DD had one with the old setup and it was nice.

Your weak point really lies in the pistons/rods. That would be the first to go before anything really. As long as the engine is healthy you should have no major issues. Ive seen between 7-13 psi on stock internals with no issues.

Oh yes, I would rather not have crazy loud exhaust ALL the time. I may get creative with 2 of the flapper parts so it can fully dump all the exhaust out the cutout vs most of it.

Oh yea ive read the heads are pretty dang decent. If something does hit the fan and the bottom end is good, ill be happy. If not, then im going junkyard 4g64 with a hyundai dohc head and continuing the boost dreams, with more ponies and easier sourced parts lol.

Thank you guys for the protips!

Build is starting tonight! I am gunna tear it apart tonight and post up more pics, cause who doesn't like pics right?

Ran into a problem with my oil feed, the used setup has some rust in the fitting and wont screw into the sandwhich adapter.

1) can i buy a new fitting, cut this end off and put the new one on?
2) should i buy a whole new feed line? If so what specs do i need?
