The blue bomber will start tonight. Motor and trans are in..just some buttoning up to do.

Oh yea these guys did mention to you about the battery being dead...did you want us to pick up a fresh one for you.

there you go update on the evo. so it will be running without the STM Oil cooler as soon as Brian recieves it back he should ship it right back out so we can get that installed on it. Then it will be time for tuning. Ill see if i cant get some updated pics since i got all that stuff powdercoated on the engine bay and All those STM parts installed and ONCE AGAIN THANKS for Strictly Modified getting my whole clutch situation striaighten out even when the parts where not in stock. Now just waiting on USPS Service as usual. ALSO TOXIC FAB PEACE CAME in and shop was impressed with it.

We need to talk about map switchers and if i should up my injector size as well. Hence the fact why i Keep pushing on the double pumper system. DID you look my turbo over to make sure its Perfect since its been sitting forever lol??
Alright...the motor started up perfectly..sounds great. We ran the 1st set of oil, drained it, looked clean. The clutch and trans are shifting good.

The double pumper system has not been forgotten, just we want to get the foundation proper again. We're going to take care of you on the double pumper for just 500. That's with parts and installed.

E85 would be GREAT

We would need to step it up to at least a 1650cc injector setup and the double pumper to support the power this beast can put out. It's up to you. Usually I stay away from 1600cc injectors, but the new FIC high impedance injectors that are 1650's should be something special.

I'm actually tuning an evo this weekend with those injectors on the stock ecu, so I can let you know what I think on the driveability, idle, etc with them.

I can set up map switching for E85 as your primary map and have the 93 as your secondary. Not a problem.

That's a roger solid copy on that lower radiator pipe.

The battery I wasn't blaming you man about it going bad, it goes bad from sitting there..we tried charging it for a while but it wasn't holding a charge. So it's bad.

The turbo,filter etc was checked, cleaned and is good to good.

I recommend also an FAL slim fan in place of the ugly stock shrouded one boss, contact antonio..he sells them a great price. Not that the stock one isn't working, but the slim FAL will make the engine bay look a whole lot better bro.

Anything else, let me know.

yea the engine bay looked nice last time but its even nicer now with the stm parts and carlos taking things off and powdercoating The fortune auto complete bolt kit and Toxic Fab making me that custom cam shield just more niceness for sure. To be honest first thing i told him was engage the clutch since that was the weak point last time. He pushed it in and was like thats what its suppose to feel like


On a lighter note check out all the lastest stuff i have done to the Z all posted in perivious pages

I'll do it Rock, no prob...and yes Black is cool I know what you mean about the data rants, I've seen people post lol...I'll have good stuff for you guys, what I'm really hoping is that the manifold will do is pick up a lot of mid-range for me so the car can feel awesome on the street.
