I won't be able to drive my Evo for 3+ months!!
I am having surgery tomorrow at UC on my knee. I got a tibial plateau fracture that needs surgery..bone graft, plate, screws. It got taken out in jiu jitsu parctice this past Friday.

 

that blows. no snow fun!
i hope surgery went well today for ya.

 

Damn Eli....Quit trying to be the ultimate fighter....sheesh...OW. Sounds like a knee bar that got you.

Talk about a great Xmas present. If you need any help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hope you feel better soon.

 

XI BOV and wideband hooked up today! cant wait.

im putting the wideband in the middle of my test pipe (where i have an extra bung) I know this isn't ideal as the most accurate reading is in the o2 housing, but is there general rule of thumb like "it reads (this much) leaner/richer when its (this distance) away from the turbo" ....there has to be an equation.

am i going to need a tune for the BOV? research says no as long as i keep my boost the same. Im open to suggestion though.

 

As long as you don't have an exhaust leak the reading should be the same. And no you shouldn't need a retune just for a BOV as long as you are recirculating it just like stock.

 

good and good thanks

 

got the XI BOV on. car drives much smoother. no part throttle flutter or bucking.
not as much throttle response, but i think that is more a tuning issue.

so what i thought was a boost leaking greddy type S, is actually not that.
at full throttle, around 5K rpm my boost slowly fluctuates from 22- 24psi then stays at 24. wideband reads a solid 10.5 (was 11.2 with the greddy)
is this called a boost spike or boost creep?

on another note, I ran over my phone!
i need everyones number please. just PM me.

 

mark, nice job you moron... but we should go on a spirited cruise down some narrow KY roads when I'm home next week, sound good?

 

oh, and my car just got out of the shop finally.. it went from this:


to this


and now it's sitting behind this beautiful subie awaiting the exhaust to be re-positioned better in the JDM Rear, and then getting a 4 pt roll bar as soon as this subie's cage is finished.

 

oh, and tonight in Manhattan I saw this beauty parked.... I don't know if it's a real GM8 or not, but it had sti interior too, and it wasn't GBD interior swapped, so that's preety ****in awesome.

 

I would love to but have no way to contact you.
in fact i tried to call today. but alas, no number on the SIM.

 

looks good.
ditch the wiper
get a vg
and lob off about 4 inches of that GIANT TIP.
needless to say im jealous as ****. i love me the JDM rear.

 

Your exhaust looks a little crunched.....I have an 80mm 5Zigen hanging in my garage....Fits perfectly with the JDM rear. Sell it to you on the cheap.

 

wiper stays
and the new muffler isn't on yet, therefore the exhaust looks retarded. But Tyler will make the new one sit beautifully.

 

thanks for the offer Paul, but I already ordered the muffler a few weeks ago :-)
