nice thread build. have you tune on pump gas? what are the 2.2 specs?

 

Thank you. Its a high compression engine with a small turbo. Its run on Ethanol 99% of the time. I don't run it hard on pump gas but would expect 450-500whp or so. Here are the specs.



New Evo 9 Block STD bore
Manley Billet 94MM Crank
RSP Spec 153MM Carrillo Rods
RSP Spec Custom 10:1 CP Pistons with all the options
ACL Bearings
OEM Gaskets
Head Games "Pocket ported" Mivec Cylinder head
GSC Billet S2 Camshafts
Full GSC Valvetrain

I read every page of your build and overlook on the spec. thanks for providing again. lol
what caught my attention is that u gotten 600whp on mhi fp red with 2.75" tomei dp.
which engine oil u use?

 

You're welcome.
Thats what was on the car and at that time. Back pressure is always a concern but with tuning and good fuel , good results can happen. I've moved on to the new Tomei 3" pipe since then.

I use either Rotella Syn 5-40 or Brad penn 5-40. Brad penn would be the choice for track days or high oil temps

 

November update. Car has been running well but the 6 puck is getting tired. Between the 4.11 Final drive, 20K miles of abuse on the pressure plate its not happy about it. I had some slip in 4th the other day.
With this platform being over a decade old I'm growing a bit concerned with parts availability . I may have talked myself into pulling the trigger on a new trans just so I have a backup. I see myself owning this car for a long time.

I ordered a new evo 8 transmission and a mfactory 4.31 Final drive. I'm going to shorten the gear slightly and go to a taller tire. The small change should also put me closer to the limiter in the 1/4 mile. I'm not into drag racing much but I like to optimize my streetcar combination. I'm going to move from a slippery 300TW tire to a RE71 as well.

Trans shipped to TRE yesterday and is getting some detailing.

 

 

Like your style there, Tim

New trans already shipped to TRE for final modifications

Dont think thats a smiley face LOL. Could be a Q.C check of some sort?

 

OMG such a well documented and detailed thread, awesome build! Did you ever measure the pack pressure difference the 2.75 and 3 dp's were?

 

Thank you. We didn't measure back pressure but It picked up some power on both ends. I can probably dig up some dyno charts if you want.

 

Trans came back from TRE a few weeks ago. Just have to fill fluids up.

104XXX miles on the chassis.

 

Went out and put a few miles on the new setup. Gearing and clutch seem spot on.

Sidenote, Had an idea for a skit last year and made it happen .
Merry Christmas !

 

Mmmmmm that TRE trans!!!!!!!

 

 

Who goes on a 60 mile cruise in the middle of winter Pics obviously taken months ago

The car is looking on point...just need to re finish those brembos
