Found a trans and tcase for the evo today . Picking it up tomorrow, should have the car on the road soon!!

 

LOL @ that Skyline on Craigs...someone's been watching too much Epic Meal Time!

 

Oh nice. Ur not that far from me. Im down by top foods.

 

Today has been a long day already...

 

Thanks for the link! I like that they put it all together in one easy to purchase kit.

 

Installed some amber tail lenses on the wagon, nice subtle changeup in the colors on the rear end again.

After


Also installed a '75 chrome bumper (No more fugly rubber corners) on the front over the weekend that I picked up while I was down in Vancouver picking up a transmission for the coupe. Still need to get a matching rear bumper, but it's fine for now

 

^such a cool old car. lmk if you ever decide to get rid of it.

where's pics of the coupe?

***Edit*** Poker night in Monroe this Saturday night. Start time is 7:00PM, and buy in is only $20. Very laid back group, hanging with the guys, drinking beer, playing cards. At least 2 of us will be there, possibly 3 if Minh is able to make it.

 

Soo anybody care to join up with yahu and I for some Sonic in Ferndale on Wednesday night at 9? Meeting up with him to swap tails

 

I made a new thread for this mini-mid-week-Internationale-Extravaganza! AKA, two guys meeting @ Sonic; one coming from Canada and the other coming from the US.

 

Hey if anyone can make it today (Would be nice to have another Evo X there other than me) there is going to be a local Meet at the SUPER BUFFET in Dupont off Exit 118 on I-5 The food there is really good and it's Friday! We are starting at 11:30 till 1pm the latest. I know this is last minute but I figured some of the guys that are already going, may have thrown the word out to some of you. Anyway, if any of you have time for lunch today, the spot will be at the Super Buffet!

Quick question: As there was a boost leak during the last northend dyno day (loose wastegate) I still need to get the car re-tuned.

Would you guys see a material benefit in switching from OEM rout UICP and OEM IX BOV to short rout UICP and a synapsis BOV?

Car is SD flashed (not tuned) with stock turbo, currently running 25psi.


ER's previous (MAF) tune dyno sheet:

 

UICP doesn't provide any real gains aside from being shorter. If you don't want to go mini-battery or trunk battery, keep OEM route but go with aftermarket piping. the synapse BOV will probably be better, i just know next to nothing about them as i havent read into aftermarket bov's

 

My buddy has synapse on his 8 and loves it, full recirc, nice performance, and niice sound

 

shorter route should spool faster, but I don't know what you have now and whether it will be a benefit you will see/feel.

 

I currently have a leak-prone POS-FUJITA UICP. It was on the car when purchased. Please note that I have only recently gone to the mini battery so now is the opportunity to switch piping.

Also, since the car is SD tuned my understanding is that there is no benefit to recirculating (which has an impact on which UICP to order).
