Nice build, what's your aim in the long run with the car?

 

nice just a few hours from me , looks like theres a few more nz guys on here now

 

haven seen one of these in a while thats awsome

 

Yeah, there are quite a few now. They seem to be multiplying

Where in NZ are you?

 

palmerston north man , should get all the nz guys 2gether haha

 

Hey mate, aim is to get it in top condition end of the day irs my daily driver, but i caught the bug big time cant stop adding bits and pieces going to rebuild my spare head i have and locate a later model evo engine block for now just getting rest of the car up to speed.

 

Do i hear people calling for a nz evo club??? Lol i see we have performance car magazine park ups and what not be good too see more evos getting amongst the likes of that.

 

Put my new turbo on today. Went for test run definitely spooled alot faster and harder however blew the boost line off, and has a bad oil leak which willjust be a turbo return line gasket id say, still ran sweet. Bit worried when 1st started was idling like s**t. So unplugged air flow meter and went fine indicating was water in the afm so air blasted that and away she went running sweet as. So need to suss that oil leak and work out this boost guage as its just free boosting now then can slap it on the dyna pack again and hoping to push 200kw easy. Seems the factory crap rubber intercooler pipe has developed a kink ok though as i have my alloy pipes on the way.

damn beat me to it , though mmc is pretty quite thou

 

saw this for sale today

 

yes its on trademe but more as an interest if someone gave me 12 for it I would take it but if anything only looking to upgrade to a evo 7 8 or 9 thought about an airtrek also, but if I complete what I want to on my evo iv and am ready for engine transplant then will no longer be for sale.

 

I'd sell my Airtrek if offered some reasonable money as I need a tow car. Reasonably modified making around 200kw atw.

 

Recieved new bov and kinugawa braided lines. Bov is driven performance plumb back and vta. May leave braided oil feed line off as apparently they not too good they end up leaking often? Anyone tell me differently?
