This is my fourth Evo and first to go all out build on. My plan for it is to do a somewhat budget build using as many used parts as possible. I got it a couple months ago for an insane deal it needed some TLC when I got it but no big deal it had the making for some high power. It had a BR 2.1 built motor with built head and cams. I bought it on a Thursday and was at the track Saturday, well it needed a tune first off which I knew but went for it anyway (running rich as ****) put down some garbage times that I won't even post then I broke the clutch. So I ordered a QM from the guys at STM got it in two days (NY to FL).

So far this is the stuff I've done.

Custom made forward facing turbo manifold v band
Custom ac condenser with lines
Tial mvr 44mm wastegate
Precision 6266 ball bearing
Quartermaster 8 leg race with hrb
Tial Q bov
ETS mini battery
Short route uicp
Hoosier drags
4 bar map sensor
Wheel bearings
Fixed oil leaks
Fixed boost leaks

As far as goals I want to run a mid 10 while driving to and from the track.

I will post the important stuff later.

Ready to go fast!

 

This is a fun build. Car needs a wash.

 

Car needs paint haha I'm debating whether I should just leave the exterior as is or plasti dip it pearl white.

 

easy 10s

 

Little update...I spun a few bearings during the tuning process so now it's under the knife for a 2.4 long rod build. Apparently the person who assembled the block before I bought the car put the rod caps backwards, so it toasted all the bearings, the crank, and 3 of 4 pistons. Here are some pictures while she is down.

 

Parts list update as well

walbro 450
ID 2000
BFG KDW2
Manley 9:1
ACL bearings
2.4 crank
O-ringed block
painted some stuff for it to be all pretty

Will also be doing a small tuck on the bay running some ac lines a little differently and some other stuff to try and clean it up a bit. Also got some dip to spray the exterior of the car with should look pretty sweet when done.

 

This is bad *** dude, I Gota get myself the hydro clutch bearing lol I don't think I can take it I'd I pop another fork

 

nice build mate defs will go hard

 

Machine shop just finished the block so here's some more picture updates!


New Pistons are a little better


Block all purty and o-ringed





One down three left

 

Did a good amount of work this weekend. Did plasti dipping and put more of the motor together.













I think it all turned out pretty well. I know there body work that needs to be done but it's not a show car by any means. The color is burnt copper from dip your car.

 

Looks good. Plasti dip turned out pretty good. Cant wait to see how she looks all done.

 

A lot has gone down in the past couple weeks! Everything is wired and back together. Having a issue with the new pump building too much pressure causing valves to stay open. But I think we got that figured out.


Got the wiring ran a little better and cleaned things up quite a bit


Coming together


New fuel line ran and it's all ready for first fire up!


Also did the DIY engine bay bolt dressup well worth the $20


From when I first had it til now
