Question. Is dropping the entire assembly still together and taking it apart easier then taking it apart while in the car? I had pretty much the same issue as you (valve float) and it took out my piston and head. Then the tow company blew my tcase up. So everything is coming out. Just wondering which is easier, take the tranny and tcase off while everything is in the car then drop the block or drop it all at once.

 

Drop k member and everything at once

 

Cars look nice

 

Thanks, The ETA is this week so I'm pretty anxious to get behind the wheel again.

 

Well I just got off the phone with Michael from ETS and ordered the 4" FMIC which should arrive this Thursday. I also wanted to give him props for the damn good customer service as always. Thanks!

 

ets fmic ftw! I have the 4" ic and love it.

 

Yup! Same here!

 

Nice , I'm glad to hear everyone is using them. After I saw the quality of the turbo kit I really didn't feel like using anything else.

 

Thanks man! I was just about to comment on your thread about the ebay style tube and fin intercooler above. But once i read the rest of the thread, I realized I spoke with you yesterday about the intercooler going to Titan.

Build is looking great man, thanks for the support and I look forward checking out your build once it's all completed and dialed in.

Keep up the great build.

Michael

 

No comment on the previous intercooler haha. No but really you could literally see straight through the IC. No problem, and thanks!

 

Everything should have been completed Wednesday with the exception of the ETS fmic arriving yesterday. However... the installation of the fuel system and fmic wasn't done till today... Honestly, kinda bummed because I finally thought this was "THE DAY."

Also.... during the cars various moves someone mysteriously lost a 340 pump which kind of pisses me off.

So, the new eta is Monday or Tuesday and it will be tuned for pump (daily) and E85 for now.

 

I have to say thats the worst I have ever seen an evo x engine....looks like a .50 caliber heavy machine gun put a round through your piston.

 

Yeah man... she has made my life a living hell in every imaginable way possible for the last 1.5yrs. You should hear what the GF says when I mention anything about "white rice" haha. She gets pissed...... but honestly, I couldn't have done this without her taking me to and from work at 8am (she works at 6pm), getting groceries, picking my *** up from "Day Care" (Starbucks haha) when i couldn't find a way home afterwork and stayed till close.... **** sucked.

 

this hurt my nuts to see.. beautiful car though. and nice wheels

 

Thanks man
