wish cams worked that way. when one stops spinning, the other well... wont do much


never sent it back to cosworth. just going to make something fun out of it, mabe a lamp or something.. Any suggestions?

 

Yeah I went back to stock cams. The broken rocker (due to a ton of lift) is what sent me ballistic. I put in stock cams and ran 4mph faster go figure. Too bad the head is damaged pretty badly already. I honest to goodness went to the barn, grabbed my stock cams, sandpapered the rust off them and went 4 ****ing mph faster.

The broken cam? My dog buddy would love it. Ask travis, my retarded dog eats rocks.

 

I mean i kno builds pics are gay but, holy cow!

Looks like you might be almost ready for install?

So is this car going to trap 155mph? Thats just insane IMO. I want a ride!

 

My car is too heavy to go 155!! I dont like to make predictions. I guess I will have to wait and see how it go's

As far as install , I still have alot of stuff that I want to get prior to building. I dont want to cut corners. I would rather have it sit than come up short of my goals , all because I was impatient and jumped the gun on it

 

that's the way to do it man. get it done right the first time!

**** is looking good dan.

 

So cosworth just gave you a new cam and did not require the defect to be sent back for inspection to determine why it broke? Usually if its a warranty/defect item they make you send stuff back - pretty cool they admitted defeat so easily...

 

mmm finally someone that will be able to keep up im picking my car up today i think! to bad there is snow everywhere lol

 

so im in the process of designing an intake manifold for the evo since im going to school for mechanical drafting right now. I was wondering what you guys would like to see in an intake manifold. I was thinking about doing something similar to the AMS design only with the throttle body section be more cuved towards the front of the car so there is a straighter piping route.

give me some ideas! even if its not an intake manifold since its just an idea for now and didnt really start yet

 

if anyone wants to inspect it i have it on hand, maybe someone can give me some input on it... I did not pay for the new one either, evodrivesme (ryan) will vouch for that, he deals with sbr/tpg first hand also.




Ryan, i stopped by and was watching your car idle. its so quiet

Nate had all but moving, and said dyno by the weekend maybe?

weather sucks.


After looking EVERYWHERE for a part # maybe a local can help.

I am looking for an alternator brace and alternator stay for my 9 They are totally different from an 8 to a 9. Maybe someone with a service manual can help.

For an 8 the brace is like # mn 119680 and stay is like mn 115860

thanks in advance!

 

easy cowboy....nobody even claimed you didn't pay for it?

Its just surprising cosworth didn't require the other cam to go back for inspection seeing how it was a manufacturing defect. Cant beat a company standing behind there parts due to failure - if I wasn't on the stock cams fo-life bandwagon that is a good selling point.

 

I think once a company gets as large as cosworth they may just not care.
It may help them in future R&D but in the mean time if they attempted to call back thousands of cams and force uninstalls from people they would also be forced to pay the labor fee's which i am sure they may not be interested in either.


Dell sent me out a replacement HD for my computer once, had a return box to send it in, and i forgot for like a month. called them explained to them and the dude told me not to worry about it.

I like the products of cosi, just to expensive for me.

 

well im starting the manifold and the hardest part is making the flange for the intake manifold. Im copying the dimensions out of a Hondata heatshield gasket i have. Here is a quick capture of the overall dimensions of the flange. No round or radius are inserted yet (only some). I found some good info for calculations on runner length and overall size. Still debating if i want to make this manifold for a big turbo car or a car with a smaller turbo such as the fpgreen and red.

If anyone has an extra intake manifold around that doesn't need it and is okay with letting me see if for a couple days let me know

 

Sick little project that you got going on there. maybe we can get one CNC'd or something after you are finished!!

 

awesome! once i get this rough design finished i will be looking for a SLS machine or some type or 3d printer to give me a prototype mold of the product so i can do testing with it. But the final product will def need to be CNC'd. My goal is to have an improved manifold design that will allow for shorter intercooler piping without having to get a mini battery or moving the battery in the truck...while still improving power of course. Cost will also be a hell of alot cheaper then say the AMS manifold, and i mean ALOT, since this will be my first product. I hope to see this finished by spring time or beginning of the next summer at the latest.

 

so what would it take to start building suspension components?
