When are we gonna see some numbers

 

If all goes as planned...this saturday

 

well i just picked up ARP rod bolts and COSWORTH Bearings. hopefully when we rip into it this weekend, it will be easy. i cant do without the EVO. im riding my ZX6 temporarily but i dont know what imma do if it rains.

the trunk is living in Alabama now. Thanks again for workin with me on it. ill keep yall posted on the car.

 

Wish I had some time Jr... I'd come down and help out.

Anybody in CT looking to ditch some stock parts for free/dirt cheap? We are looking for more spares for our rally car...

 

what are you looking for?

 

Anything and everything... Its a rally car. Its not a question of if it will break... its a question of when.. lol.. Suspension/steering parts, body parts, engine parts.. pretty much anything you are looking to get rid of / want out of your garage/shed/closet/bathtub.

 

Hello boys and girls.
I think im finally done adding parts to my car for a while.

Pics are in my signature from my old for sale thread. Big sigh.

 

great to see another rally enthusiast on the board using their evo to do with it was made for. where do you guys rally around here?

 

Currently we are doing TSD's & Rallycrosses, but we will be running NASA & CARS events when i finish the cage modifications and get the car logbooked.


Where in CT are you from?

 

Well guys car was put on the dyno and tuned with the AEM EMS

Car put down 441whp on WASTEGATE boost.(19-20psi) on pump gas

Going to be driving it around like this for the next few days and then Wednesday we are going to turn up the boost and let er rip

 

Looking good Noah

well guys, another connecticut EVO bites the dust. spun bearings suck!! replaced the road bearings in hopes as a fix until i can afford to get the block built. it works but i dont know for how long. i dont want to take any chances. so the evo will be parked in the garage and collecting dust for 2009.....or until i can afford another short block with internals. anybody have a spare evo i can use in the mean time?...lol

 

wait..what? You were just trying to bearing slap it after the spin? You didnt turn/replace the crank, or do any machine work?

 

no i didnt bearing slap it.... i started to hear a slight chatter (like valves) on deceleration when gearing down but from the lower end. but you could only hear it from inside the car...barely. i put it on the lift and opened up the bottom end assuming spun bearings. when we pulled the bearings out, cylinder 1 had some light scoring on the coating that began to wear off. 2, 3, and 4 were normal for wear. overall, it looked like something contaminated the oil and caused it. while the bearings were out and engine apart, why put back in old bearings. so i had some ACL bearings that were put in so that i could get the car home. hence the statement "...the EVO will be parked in the garage and collecting dust..." i knew i was getting the crank and associated internals redone. but since i dont know how long until then....parked up. bearings were only put in since we were already in there(from the bottom) to get the car 12 miles to my house. once i put it all back together though, i slight joy touched me as i turned the key and the chatter was gone. it sounded normal again. so i will bring the car home tomorrow and start my search for a built block or a stock one to work with. what was done is a band aid to get the car home and prepped for the work to come.

bearing slap?.........bwaaa......anybody know if AMS does military discounts on built short blocks?

 

oh ok.. you are forgiven...
