this should tell you how to do it. I am sure there are a few specific tools you are going to need one being for the timing belt.

I dont have any of those special tools, if we were to work on it, might needa to find a garage with somebody who owns these specific tools. Or maybe if you guys got a ft eustis or military base hobby shop card we can go there. Hey Alex wanna join in and help us out too 8- ) If so I would greatly appreciate it 8- ) I would pay ya to help me out Alex, but I am broke as crap, sorry I keep saying this 8- x Man I didnt know the gas on the evo was gonna suck, I needa get a custome tune wheneve I get the money to get one.

i just had flashbacks to this old movie...the way it worked was they would tear down the car completely (engine bay) and take everything out, put the car back together and then go race!

i'd like to be there for the cam install as well. and unless you know exactly what you're doing, i'd invest in the tools. cheaper in the long run.

or, just bribe someone qualified to do it. give them the after though

Yea I wouldn't mind getting someone qualified to help me, but I don't got the finances to pay for all of the labor. So might help, but I don't know any alcoholic evo owners around here 8- X hehe, But yea, I am afraid if since I've never opened the before or even take a part of the head, I think I could fawks somethin up.... I am lookin for some qualified people that wouldn't mind helpin me maybe, pro bono, then afterwards food and on me!

hardest part seems to be keeping the timing belt on exact cam gear sprocket; and messing with the cam angle sensor housing/trigger.

I got my car dynoed yesterday at Promotion Tuning, those guys are great up there. i got some boost surge issues to solve but other than that I was satisfied with the result I got roughly 60 more whp and 30 more wtq with just a catback and ebc than my previous dyno with just a flash. Cant wait to see what it puts down after I upgrade the rest of the exhaust(dp, hfc, exhaust manifold, and o2 housing) and a custom tune.

I think its just a bunch of cars meeting up, I heard today that a bunch of 350z's are gonna be there and some s2000's. Hopefully some Evo's or Sti's show up.

I was pretty much shocked when I saw the dyno results, I hoping to be somewhere close to 300 hp. At first I thought something was wrong with the dyno.

Eugene, if you read this someone in the dcevoclub.com forum is selling a used Works cat-back. I know a while ago you said you wanted to switch over to their product; I dont know if that is still your plan but either way.
