Hi Everyone
I'm ready to post up my build currently and whats to come to get to the low 9s!

Backround

 

Clean car looking forward to the build!

 

Thanks! Ill have new pics up today.

 

your set ups are pretty sweet! I love the spare set up! I have my original stock block still in the garage on a stand!

 

Okay so more today !
Pulled the old turbo assembly off
(Will have pics of the stocker tomorrow)
And got the new setup in minus a lower IC pipe being delivered.
Heres some shots going through install sorry they are terrible...I am picking up my camera tomorrow so I can get better shots.






Stage one loose mockup of piping ic and getting the turbo in place




Another good one!







I got the hard piping in for the turbo kit Sheepey is amazing and to Alex! Thank you so much
The fitment and quality is top notch!

Also I do have a vertical hood dump I personally decided to fab that will have a semi flapper
I should have pics mid week of that providing im not to swamped














Here I have the radiator hard mounted with spal fan front and rear/push pull whichever you prefer

Oil lines are routed however I noticed the kit is not OFH feed so I just bought a kit to be over nighted




Also my filter came while typing this haha

Tomorrow
Fuel injectors, fuel pump hard wire, oil, TB shaft seals and first startup!

Im holding off on AEM rail till my RTM kit arrives

And my sleeper wheels came today
(No peaking till on car)
Arp extended studs and spacers will be on Friday to help fill the gap for a clean look
Stay tuned

 

Thank you! Im trying to simplify so I hope to strip more down and make it so clean it's sterile haha

 

PULLED MY WHEELS OF JUST IN TIME!!!!!!
Look at my front passenger wheel!
XXR something or others....I don't know wheels...I build motors and fab a bit so I can't give you details




<br/>

 

Good luck on the build.
Can't believe the damage to that wheel, that sucks. I was just thinking I should not buy cheap wheels for the Evo, even though I ran Rotas on other vehicles.

 

Haha.....when I bought it I told myself those XXR wheels gotta go
Im just happy they didn't fall apart before the new wheels came.
I haven't heard bad things about rotas though....lots of guys use them in drag racing.

 

Its definitely the way to go. I don't mind down time....but ive had an itch to build and drive this car. Im happy to be able to drive and have a block build going on so I can ease into the modifications I'm doing and verify all systems are working before I drop in a motor with very expensive parts and a whole lotta my time involved

 

I bought my evo 8 with a set of nt03's and found out the front two were bent

 

Bummer... it's always good to do a thorough look over. I had my shop inspect the entire car and it was around......I'm more than sure it was due to some spirited driving on my estate grounds post purchase that broke mine. I jus didn't realize how flimsy they are

Ill have pics of the new ones today

 

Update!
So wheels are on



More pics of them on car to come

I got the injectior, afpr, and hardwire kit installations finalized
But I hit a snag once we fired the car I noticed it ran but AFPR reads 0psi
And any throttle causes car to die

So while I study what to do

I can just appreciate the final product

























Hopefully I can get the car operational

Also I'm apologizing for my engine bay wiring and rust
I will be tucking and painting everything once motor goes in
But for now and just to drive (when it fire's) it's going to stay that way
.
More to come
10mm spacers and studs
TB and shaft seals
New fuel lines and rail
And tranny rebuild
All coming this week!

 

Update
Can't figure out fuel feed issue so...
I ordered a Strictly modified double pumper since I'd have to go dual wally 450s, an inline 044, and surge tank anyways to accomplish what I want to with my car.
I have a new exhuast coming in
And my new replacement koyo rad will be coming in on wed.
Fuel feed and return line kit and other
Goodies on the way
And tomorrow ill get some pics of my fuel feed and return hardline disassembly.
Mire to.come

 

Awesome build man, keep it up!
