Jason, where's the hook up on race gas in your area?

 

None nearby. There is one station on the dragstrip itself and a Shell station in Auburn that I hit on the way to the track. They have trickfuel 101 unleaded.

 

Looks like it's going to be tight since I have a race in Portland that same weekend. I might be able to make it work, but I still need a lot of parts and have very little money at this point......not sure whether my stock clutch would last on the dyno, that's kind of the big ticket item at this point.

 

the clutch should hold up during the dyno since you won't be doing any fast starts, downshifting or anything in the high rpms. shift from 2nd to 3rd at 2k then just bury the foot til redline... no much clutch there

 

Speedwear in Redmond or Woodinville Sports Cars in Woodinville have VP fuel. Speedwear is open on sat.

 

good info autox. i work near speedware in redmond and never knew they had race gas. there is a place in bothell too but they only have the leaded race gas.

 

Count me in. I just need to get my new turbo ordered and installed before then. Shiv tuned my car at his shop last summer. He did about 20 dyno runs in about an hour tuning two maps for $200. He does great work.

 

Eric,
If you need any help with that turbo install let me know, I'm not far at all from Sammamish and I recently replaced mine.

Hey you can count me in for a custom tune on the dyno... Thanks Alot i really need this

 

looks like I'll have to wait. Think I'm going to put the money into my rally car instead. good luck guys.

 

Would you wanna lend a hand helping on mine too
Renton area.

 

I wouldn't mind helping, but the right tools are a must. Plan on having a nice big vice to use to seperate the O2 housing from the turbo, and some big breaker bars. You will have to replace some studs too, do your homework and be prepared. Do a search for one of my threads to see what was needed. You, for the most part, can't reuse the studs and shouldn't reuse the bolts.

Kyle R is steppin' up to the big dog GT3037 . No need to seperate the O2 housing from the turbo.

 

True, didn't read that he was putting in that turbo. But. I did the whole cam/turbo/exhaust/fuel pump upgrade very recently, you'll need breaker bars and a vice. I ended up using both parts of my jack handle to break the cam gear bolts. The vice was necessary not only for removing the O2 housing from the turbo but also for extricating the cam from some stubborn bearing caps.

Thanks for the advice. I assume I can order all the necesarry studs and bolts through the dealer. I've done turbo swaps on S4's before, but the evo is still new to me although it should be straightforward.
