On that note, Turco/others, are there any differences in the Evo 8 & 9 shortblocks? I know the head is different due to MIVEC goodness, and they use a different timing belt, but not sure of any other differences. Someone is selling an 8 shortblock (all internals, but no front case or accessories) for pretty cheap. Ajay may need something like this...

There is a difference in the 9 block, it has an oil feed line to the head for the Mivec. Supposedly you can fix that pretty easily though.

I think he was questioning because he wanted to see if the 8 shortblock would fit in the IX with the IX head. I wouldn't recommend it personally, i would just shell out the money for a IX short block.

fits any 52mm i believe. also, iirc it was packaged separately (i.e. it wasn't made by greddy). it is just a strap that tightens down (i.e. its not even really a "pod")

you'll probably want a cup for the UEGO... IIRC, the gauge is not all that big but has two heavy wire sets coming out of it... for one thing, it will be a challenge to have it sit right in a band clamp... also, i think it will look like monkey *** if the sides/back of the UEGO are exposed.

I recommend the Autometer gauge cup... it's like $20, shipped. I think Autozone even stocks them now.

NSXERZ- It is made by TRUST, GReddy's parent company

7th item down on teh list http://greddy.com/products/display/?...SubCategory=60

EDIT- Besides, it was only $10. Not much of a loss if you take it out and not use it anymore.
