GSX tranny? Nevermind

 

That sounds good, im down for whatever

 

WORST color for the evo! And its become all to common these days. You should have really splurged and gone all-original with silver or black! Yea!!!! Those are cool colors!

 

 

My car needs a bath!

 

That's probably what I'm gonna end up doing lol, but I wanna tear mine apart first and see what's wrong. Bt if I do that, I also need the tcase and rear ring and pinion

 

yeah black looks terrible. Ken, check out your old Evo

 

^^ holy fawk!!!

 

So, last night I had the front bumper off to remove the intercooler because the PO had painted it black.

A few things I noticed:

The HKS EVC stepping motor is installed upside down. I've been reading over the install instructions to try and understand it more. I see it says it needs to be installed with the ports facing up, but I can't find anything as to why. (I think this may be why I have terribly inconsistent boost -- Sometimes only 11-14PSI, sometimes spikes at 26-29PSI without any changes between shut down and starting back up)

But another thing, the coupler connecting from the IC to the UICP has a one of the EVC lines tapped into it with a plastic fitting held on by a hose clamp with a hole drilled in it. I would think by drilling a hole into a silicone coupler, you've kinda ruined it. No? I did my best to seal around it with high heat silicone. But who knows what good that will do.

The coupler was barely on the UCIP before I took it off. Everything is snug now, no trouble there. Well, except the still persisting boost issue.

Kinda makes me wonder if I should get rid of this thing and get a MBC. But it would be nice if I could get this thing to work. It doesn't seem to matter how I adjust the settings.

I couldn't flip the stepping motor around because the lines were too short. I'll have to get new 8mm vac lines to do this later.

I've searched everywhere. Doesn't seem like many people use this thing. But if any one knows?

 

Ishii motors knows that ebc well. Have him fix your piping and reinstall your ebc

 

I'll call them this week. Thanks!

 

new *flood damaged* Evo X GSR

http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/2636030319.html

would you do it for the price??

 

I don't think I would. Flood/water damaged stuff always sucks.. but that's just my opinion.

 

Man, I really want a X, but I'd have to pass on this. It'll probably smell like mildew for the rest of it's life...
