You need to go somewhere else, I have had a car im'd with an VTA blow-off valve and they didn't say anything. Try conti subaru they are used to seeing cars with those kind of mods in there.

Hmmm...Was the evo8 ecu conversion easy to do? Back when I was running my dsm's SAFC's were all we had, lol. You bringing it out to the track this year?

Hey Buddy,

I went out and cleaned the area where the the spring contacts the strut as best I could a few days ago. There is a lot of dirt and pebbles up in there due to this break up nonsense. I sprayed WD40 where the binding is and the popping/clunk has seemed too stop for now. Although I did hear it going over a speed bump last night. I searched binding/popping and came up with this post.

"I have the answer!
On the struts are small rubber "dams" on the bottom of the strut. This rubber dam is supposed to keep debri from getting into the base of the strut. But it does not work, rather it traps small rocks and these small rocks grind around in the spring, causing the "clunk" sound.
The Mitsu Dealer told me and he cleaned out the bottom of the strut and cut off the rubber dam. Now it is quiet.
He told me that Outlanders all have the same problem, because people like to take them off road. Also he knows a lady with one that drives on a gravel road to get to her house, and her shocks sound horrible because of all the rocks that get trapped in there and he keeps cleaning them out, but the rocks always get back in"

One of these weekends when I'm not studying for finals I'll probably go ahead and do this.

Thank you for you help, I hope this gets rid of it.

Evo X FP Black 19 psi on 90 Octane...compared to Blacksunsets evo 9. 3rd gear pull.

907dsm

Nah it wasn't hard at all.. just very time consuming to do correctly. I really don't care to try to set records with my car just a fun little street car would be nice. It's a DSM remember **** breaks alot which is something I'm not looking forward to oh well.

Hmmm I know a friend of a friends friend that is an IM tech and might can work his magic. Maybe!!

blacksunset

wow,
I was running like 23 psi of boost spiking to 25 at the time and your only running 19 though that, I want to see that tuned and running 25psi though it and see where it really takes it,

did you throw some timing in there as well? and i could be wrong but why on earth did you AFR go that route lol, its steady then blam, (depressed clutch??)

and when i get everything in and a "tune" as some call it, would you mind doing another pull and seeing where it is at from the base pull, and possibly (when free) look over the newer map and "fix" what doesnt seem right in anyway?

Edit: if you want GSC S2 cams you should order some now because there on a month back order from MAP...........they had them in stock and they are out the door on the same day...... (Evo IX)

Edit 2: reason for it was GSC made the evo 8 and evo X cams first and pretty much everyone is waiting/wanting the GSC S2 cams, they had a few in stock, kelford hks, cosworth M2 etc but very limited, why is having the IX so hard to find parts for that are in stock.......anyone.....someone lol....Oh and everything else is being shipped today...so i guess thats a plus

^I don't know why the AFR chart looks like that...because my log showed 11.1-11.2 all the way up to 8000 rpm then the rev limit kicks in. No knock by the way, timing is very conservative. Soon as you get the parts let me know so we can do the install.

blacksunset

ummm, thats weird, no knock and your AFR are are a little leaned out that really isnt to bad unless you start dropping way below 10's would be nicer to see it around 11.5-11.7 unless the 4B11 loves to run lean, (dont know to much about the X, I dont have one and barely read up on them)

And I know what its from now that i think about it (AFR log) Its when you hit the limiter it started to bounce up and down causing it to push more with less (if that makes any sense) causing it to spike, similar to when boost creep or a spike hit on the log, does the same thing.

And ill send a text your way when they get here. MAP said they would eat the shipping cost for the cams, so Im thinking ill go though them more often, everything with MAP is better then alot of places up here, I got the back bumper fixed on mine and parts had been sent to the wrong place and they called the insurance and asked them to bump the price up another 500.....and they did.....

You got it backwards...the lower the number = richer. 11.5-11.7 would be ideal but the car doesn't agree with 90 octane.

blacksunset

Haha,
Just another reason I'm NEVER taking my car to underground again. I'll throw a message or text your way about it tomorrow. But I figured you would know either way lol.
So, what can I do to just mine to run a little richer, like it's at 14.7-15.4 (I want it in the 11.7-12.6) as of right now I won't need to and is fine the way it sits but with the new fuel pump and cams I would rather it run at those levels, will upgrading the MAF be a huge factor from the OEM or is the OEM just fine till you hit crazy HP. (600 up)

wxksos

Let me know!! im tired of seeing the evo sitting in sunny weather.

iTrader: (3)

That 14.7-15.4 is at cruise/idle and you're fine....at wide open throttle you are running very rich (10.1-10.2) according to the 3rd gear pulls you did with me. Once you hit the track and have some better octane we'll lean it out a lot and see what she does.

blacksunset

wow, I really need to get the AFR log on mine working again, I went to log yesterday and the AFR didnt hook up (was on a limited time set-Dinner or no dinner lol) Tried switching comports restart the log nothing, tried playing around on USB connections and switching comports nothing, Ill go and play with it some more today, if all else fails ill wait to do some pulls,
