Great progress. I see a lot of ppl running those Aem coils. It's funny ppl with evo's almost never run parts that are used widely in the industry and always run their own thing.
I've followed your car and build since the stock block days lol. I am playing with fire now with my car haha
I changed my dumptubes to point down for SE class as well. Damn rules !

 

Thank you kind sir!

Thanks! Yeah, it seems most people in the Evo community don't really run too many other products out there because of how easy it is to just purchase a plug and play unit and throw it on the car. I would have as well if I had $800 extra dollars to throw into the ignition. mine will work just as well though.

Stock block days were fun but it was stressful knowing a rod could be coming out anytime to say hi lol. I believe my car has made the most HP on buschur's mustang dyno with a stock block (632). I'll be modifying the car a bit to comply with the SE rules also!

 

What is the SE class? Humor me.

 

Copied from the Shootout rules:

STREET ELIMINATOR-Sponsored by FUEL INJECTOR CLINIC(SE)
-Any Talon, Eclipse, Laser, Galant VR4, Evolution 7's, 8's, 9's, X or FWD/AWD Mitsubishi bodied AND 4g63/64 powered vehicle.
-ANY DOT tire. Full exhaust with muffler exiting the rear of the car.
-Wastegates MUST exit under the car.
-Air filters mandatory.
-Car must run FULL interior, back seats, front seats, full dash, door panels, head liner, wipers, carpet, center console, mirrors and factory glass.
-On your windshield you will put in large print, SE followed by the number from your tech card. This is your class/car number for the day.

 

Wow

 

damn i would run in this class, except my WG exits through the hood vent... i suppose i can relocate it and have a alternate pipe made... (V band FTW)

 

Bump.

Any updates on your build? Keen to see how the AEM smart coils turned out?

Great build so far! Been following since your HX40 days.

 

great build mate. defs impressive

 

Thanks sir. I do have some updates. I'll get a post together in the next day or two.

I haven't been able to test yet, but I will as soon as winter is over unless I get the car on a dyno before spring.

Thanks!

 

I measured the turbo as I wasn't sure what it was, and the turbine exducer measured out to be a 61.XXmm, so the turbo is actually a 6262. The past two years I thought it was a 6266 as that's what I ordered from MAP. I may look into upgrading further down the road, but the 62 will do for now. It's a tad larger than showed in pic because it was hard to hold while snapping a picture, but its just below 62mm.



I made a front lip for the bumper, credit goes to Jason/angryevo8 for letting me use his idea.



I'll be making block off's to cover the front holes.


I also deleted the brake booster with the Whalen Speed R&D delete kit. IMO it's nicer than the Buschur Racing kit and lines used.
.

Also, a fresh tscomptuned bottom end will be going in the car for 2015+

ARP 625+ head studs, fancy...



I'll write a review of the coils once we start tuning and such. Dead hook motorsports made the bracket and wiring for them .

Here's a little teaser video from the last time I raced the car to current. The last time I went out raced it was at the end of 2013 when it spun out. Planning on making 2015 a great race season

 

I've been wanting to make a front lip like that for mine, looks good man what material did you use?

-Nick

 

Thanks buddy. The lip material is .100" ABS plastic.

 

Where did you order all the push lock fittings from? Those looks super clean.

 

Nice, where did you order the material from? I was going to use aluminum but abs sounds like a better option.
