Ok I finished it over the weekend. Fired it up Sunday night. Maybe im just nuts, but it felt like the idle was WAY smoother. Less vibrations from the engine area.

Cant wait to get it on the road and test it out now. Took 2 pics:

 

Good work!!!

Also that's a huge coolant fill funnel. I need to find one that size lol.

 

Awesome, now lets see 50psi!!!! lol

 

haha 50psi I dont know if I have the ***** to do that to be honest. It is fast at 31psi as it is. cant imagine 50psi. Might need a diaper for that.

I'll get it out soon. Really anxious to see how it feels now with the heavier crank. I expect its not gonna feel as snappy now, but will be smoother in between shifts since its a heavier rotation assembly, it wont drop RPM's as quickly as before.

Thanks Scott. I'll get you the part number off the box for that Scott.

 

Tom, your so meticulous with your builds, very impressive. turn up 50psi!

I need a ride! Hahaha.

 

I took car out few days ago did about 30 1-2-3 pulls id say its good to go. If it passes my torture test it will pass anything lol.

Its only 10.8 AFR right now, so i suspect once i lean it out its gonna make a lot more power (hopefully). boost gauge shows 32-34psi feels pretty decent.

Not gonna touch the mbc yet, its still on wastegate pressure. I need to feel it leaned out first.

Blue evo is sold, but this is a cool pic i thought id share.

 

looking great my friend keep up the good work .

 

the blue evo has been my, i wish i had enough money car since u posted it..

 

Blue evo sold for 26K. I have been giving the silver evo some nice abuse lately. On the way back from picking up food in it on sunday (it is a daily driven car), I captured a 3rd gear pull.

AFR is a little rich in the 10.8 area and boost is 31-32psi wastegate pressure.


Next update in this thread will be a really cool picture!

 

Looking good! What Radiator would you recommend, my stock one is leaking on the bottom where it's crimped. Been looking at CBRD or having Ron Davis make me one.

 

If its a mini radiator let CBRD do it. Mine cools better then stock.

 

I live in lovely California, no FF setup for me that's a instant Ref if pop the hood! I'm looking at the full size CBRD radiator. I contacted Ron Davis, just waiting for phone call to see what they come up with.

 

Oh man, the state referee, yea many reasons to live in California. That's one big reason not to. lol

 

I just want to give a quick update. I already posted it on facebook here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...7302897&type=1

But after I sold the Blue Evo, I got a 2009 GT-R from California with only 3,700 miles on that was used as a show car from a multi millionaire. Very cool guy, and gave me a hell of a deal on the car after I told him what I do and what Id be using the vehicle for (learning the platform).

He also has some serious cup cars 2 race cars he drives a viper ACR and Porsche GT3 cup car among other things like Ferrari's and Lambo's etc.

Whats crazy though is, I expected the evo to feel "cheap" vs the GT-R but it doesn't. Feels nice. The only big change from the Evo and GT-R is the interior in the GT-R is massive so much space.

Obviously I still have my silver evo, and will for the rest of my life, it is a car i will keep forever. Its the last of the 4g63 cars in the world, so to me the cars priceless since i grew up with the 4g63 and know it inside and out.

Here are a few of my fav pics i took out of the bunch. I want to get a pic of the evo beside the GT-R and post it up here when i get a chance to.
