03 2.4 evo 8

picked up my 3rd evo
first one was stock evo 9 turbo
second one built 6466 730+ hp


this one here is some of the info
2.4 Evolution Dynamics motor...
-Built Sheps 5 speed trans
-Stage 5 Competition clutch
-FP Red turbo kit external gated with heat shield
-BC 272 cams
-ETS piping with Tial bov
-FIC 1200cc injectors
-Buschur double pumper
mitshimoto rad with spal fan
3 inch exhaust
jdm rear end

dyno sheet I was given puts it at 566/506 on e85

recently fixed an issue with temp gauge and temp, the car was missing the ground from body to intake manifold and that fixed the issue with gauge
replaced rad with a mishimoto one a friend had from his evo he sold with a nice big spal fan so got those. spal one evo came with looks new but smaller ill have it for sale soon.


changed out the thermostat , shifter to OEM one ,turbo filter, oil, plugs and added a spark plug cover since It didn't come with one, exhaust it was pretty much open downpipe, and ac fan

also put a new wideband sensor since one it had went bad.

have a cam sensor heat shield In the mail I need to go get it and a coolant reservoir my friend gave me for free, I need to paint it and get it on .


waiting on carlos at TCC here in tx to do a set of calipers for me and replace the ones on the car that look like straight CRAP lol.
need to order an oil cooler since it don't have one.


here are a few pics to start with



























this knob is for sale ^

Well, the dipstick shouldn't pop out without the spring.
That would mean you have crankcase pressure @WOT which is not good.
