Thank you!
I'm going to enjoy the holiday here and get some fresh pics up tomorrow!

 

Update!
Well I finally settled on a Big Brake kit
So I ordered
An Stm small kit with scalloped rotors for drag
And
An alcon kit for street use.
Coilovers will be a set of ohlins with external reservoirs I will mount to the front and rear strut bar that I purchased from a family member in the UK.
Everything should be here in two weeks!
Im enjoying a day off
But tomorrow im back at it

 

Update!

Here's a picture off eBay of the flapper I ordered for my hood exit dump tube






I plan on welding it to a piping assembly im making and then to the flange that came with the WG and keeping my sheepey turn down pipe for DEQ inspection

It'll be the first ive seen on an Evo

Not much else going on until I get the dual pumper from Strictly Modified
Which will ship on the 28th

I will be putting in the koyo rad tomorrow.
Also I have a new exhuast, fuel lines, fuel rail,and spacers to put on in the coming days

Thanks for reading

 

Update

The Koyo Rad is in









Also got the old fuel system out and a few shots of replacement parts












More in the next post!

 

ALSO......















New wheels got a coat of paint
And spacers were put on.....they look extra flush!!

I also took some pics of the old turbo and my Evo parts shelf






And I got some shots of the battery relocation and shifter bushings installed










And I switched my hideous triple pod and glow shift guages for some Innovative MXTD and MXTL guages
and a tasteful twin pod





Finally more shots of the turbo setup







Enjoy!!!!!!
More on the way!!!

 

Update!
Well tomorrow I install the fuel rail and new exhaust!

Monday the car wil get some new kelford 290/287 cams, a kiggly HLA
and the Wrinkle Black valve cover.

If all goes well post fuel system arriving and install I will have part 1 of my build done by FRIDAY!!!!!

 

My SM double pumper arrived!
Really excited to try this and excellent quality! Thanks Strictly Modified.



Also
I have decided to sell my machined 2.3 Shortblock to a friend in Seattle because his failed. I'll be receiving his block as a core with additional proceeds.
Fortunately I had not purchased a rotating assembly ( I was trying to focus on one thing at a time) so this can be fixed easily.
I've decided to go a different rout than a 2.3 and I'm going to reach out to English Racing and see what they would recommend for a high rev (10.5k -11k street car) low displacement engine assembly to compliment my 6766 and get me into low 9s.
I plan in stopping by ER Monday to grab the Kiggly HLA from them before I install my new cams so if they are not to busy I hope I can get some answers and update.

Also I'm aware this isn't the most exciting build ever, The pics are crap and it's been done a million time. So thanks to all that contributed. I will try and have some new exiting stuff coming asap. I also ordered a 1080p Nikon since my 720p Fugifilm will not turn on anymore so I will post sine better pics.

Tomorrow's agenda
Installing Kelford 290/ 287 cams
I have Kiggly support mods to run these
Kiggly HLA installation
Valve cover painting
And SM Double Pump setup install

Arriving this week in mail

Extreme psi OFH feed kit

Finally here is some pics of the cams and head studs prior to install all wrapped up.....and some shots of the sheepey manifold off the car
Cuz
It's so pretty








More tomorrow!

 

Update
Went to finish up cam install but noticed something...
There was what I thought looked like a slight bit of slack in the timing belt.
So I went to pull on the belt....and it was tight....but barely...I could almost pull it off the cam gears
Bear in mind this is with no work being done on the tension assembly yet
So next I go to see if the tensioner is loading at all
Went to bench load it....and noticed my belt was in the same spot when I took the tensioner off
So on to the idle pully
Which was ramped down with torque
And used to hold the tension
When I pulled the pully off the belt went slack.
I inspected the idler and it was blued
And it spun about 1/16th of a turn ...not freely
I couldn't believe the job someone did to that timing belt
That is unsafe and unacceptable
Im so fortunate I only drove this car for a few days prior to build


Anyway needless to say now I need a timing belt kit.. so im having one overnighted to stay on schedule

So until next time friends
More delays! Coming soon

 

Damn, so were there any weird noises coming from that pulley?
I am having a random grinding noise from the passenger side and checked almost everything. I am beginning to think its a pulley in the timing belt area.

 

What's surprising is it sounded just like normal. But it's a good idea to check if there is any slack on your belt and look for any obstruction
Also if you pull off the access panel
check if your tensioner Is loaded at all

 

Looking good

 

Will do, thank you.

 

UPDATE!!!
Fuel lines have arrived


The RTM kit is awesome and comes with everything you need
Here are some pics of the hose abd fittings
-8an Feed -6an return













However since I went for the double pump post ordering the fuel system an additional -8an to 1/2 barb adapter was necessary which Amazon is one day shipping to me.

Timing belt kit, barb adapter,and OFH feed kit arrives Friday

If all goes well should be running by Sunday!

Tomorrow I pick up my new short block and proceeds.
After taking with Lucas English at the ER headquarters I've decided to switch my PTE order to a 6466 BB
and go with a clever 2.0 setup
I will be stopping by ER next week to purchase my rotating assembly.

Also my new camera is arriving Monday so soon no more looking at ridiculously blurry cell pics

Thanks

 

Update
Short block received
Sorry for no pics but my machine shop said I could bring it in the day I picked it up and I couldn't pass that up considering how far behind I am.
I will be at ER Tuesday to buy the new rotating assembly

Also I finally got tracking numbers for
The Alcon brake kit, QM 8, and AMS cylinder head so im hoping they arrive soon. Now all I need is my 6466 to ship.

Now I shall enjoy my last cup of coffee and get some work on the Evo done.
