That is an Advantage Lifts unit. pretty beefy. It does go full height and I put a car under it. With 3 inches to spare on the ceiling. It has a hydrolic jack between the rails to lift the car off of the rails.

I also recently installed some hanging cabinets above my tool chests and also bought two tall cabinets. It's so nice to move stuff out of plastic bins!


One of the cleanest Evo 10s I've seen. Wish you the best in NY!

Razorlab,
What is your power level now? Are you concerned at all that the half shafts or rear diff cannot hold the level of power your car is producing? I think you mentioned the ACD being overwhelmed, but it wasn't an issue.

I haven't optimized my tune for the new head, cams and turbo so no idea. Soon, once I get it back together after I complete the new fueling upgrades.

With the OEM port head, Kelford cams and 5858, the car made 640whp DJ on the street at 29psi and low 500's on track at 24-25psi. With my street map, the car was basically making 400wtq. I purposely keep the torque "lower" to preserve my HDSS clutch.

I don't see 400wtq hurting anything.

Got all the fuel upgrades done and took the Evo out to fine tune.

Changes:

- OEM fuel rail changed to Radium Fuel rail with fuel damper
- OEM fuel feed line with small inline filter changed to -8AN line with Radium SS fuel filter
- OEM return line change to -6AN and using OEM feed hardline.
- FIC 2150cc injectors

These upgrades completely smoothed out my fuel pressure at WOT, before it was jaggedy and would also drop pressure past 7500 rpm. Now it's flat and smooth.

Before:



After:

I am betting that fuel filter upgrade was 85%+ of smoothing out the fuel issue. But it's just a guess. That torque curve is RIDICULOUSLY flat !!!

When I pulled the Evo out of the garage today the sun was hitting it just right so I had to snap a photo...

Does that thing ever stop making power? Looks like you could spin it to 9k no problem.

If he had a real clutch, it could easily make over 500wtq on the hit and carry it pretty far as well.

Indeed, if I had a more stout clutch, I would run the turbo at 32-34 psi and let er' rip.

Maybe one of those new ACT twin discs is in my future.

It's from my iPhone 10. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max for my job which has a much better camera but it's so large I never have it in my pocket.

An extra 100wtq would be fun! Especially if it stays going up top.

So this 5558 GEN2 continues to need a ton more WGDC for the same amount of boost versus the 5858 GEN1

I have it basically maxed out WGDC up top and it won't make 30psi. I'm using almost 40% more WGDC up top and it's making less boost than the 5858 GEN 1 did. I guess time for me to do a boost leak test.

5558 GEN2:



5858 GEN 1:
