I purchased a 2003 evo 8 in november with 100k miles. this is my first evo and previously I've owned Honda's. I still have my s2000 though. I'm in wichita, kansas.

I started working on it last night and so far I've removed the following list.

the whole turbo assembly( Including manifold and downpipe)
Radiator
IC piping
Throttle body
Fuel rail and injectors

Tomorrow I'll try to get the Intake manifold out. Also, get some pics uploaded.

I'm sure I'll need plenty of advice and instructions along the way from the much experienced members. (YOU!)

Thank you.

 

Welcome! Whats your plans/goals for it?

 

Until something fails internally, I won't touch the internals. I'll stay within 400-425 tq. My plan is to have all the external mods done sufficiently so when the time comes I can jump into the internals.

 

Hey bro! I'm also from Wichita, KS on the east side. I actually just started working on the Evo again. I Just got done with replacing the timing belt/balance belt and installed Camshafts. A little advice, since you have the throttle body out, replace the seals, they leak. Also check your injector seals, they also leak. Once you put everything back together do a boost leak test. It will save you doing additional work when you start tuning the car. Let me know if I can help you out.

 

Today I got the FP green turbo, the radiator, fuel pump, mini battery tray and one catch can. So I'm a lil pumped up.

 

I'm on the east side too. near Hawker. We should hook up. My buddy just got a evo x too. I'm looking to replace the TB since it has more gunk than the exhaust. Plus i'll be replacing the injectors and seals. I have little to no experience with evo. I'll PM you my number. Glad to find a fellow local evo guy.

 

Looking good! Just PM'ed you my number as well. Yeah lets meet up, just let me know when an where.

 

stuff I received so far

 

some more..i have to take a pic of the radiator. ebay catch can suppose to be silver but i guess silver in china is yellowish.
