Hey guys, got a question. My car seems to be burning oil after i do a wot pull in 3rd and 4th gear. The thing is that it doesnt smoke whilke on the throttle, its as soon as I let off it smokes for 3 or 4 seconds. Now doing a little research I am thinking I need a catch can, Is this right?? Any advice greatly appreciated.

I was just curious. There seems to be a lot at a really low price nowadays. Pm specifics and I will help you look.

So I had to take the car out and see how different the VIII is from the X and all I can say is WOW!! The S-AWC is freaking amazing, I was having way to much fun.





Somewhere under this is a Mercedez, I guess you can tell wich cars I value more. The Evo and the Cobra get the pampering.

I was going to get a ETS kit but did some research, for about the same price you can geta 3.7 Nicei FMIC which flows better and looks 100% better than the ETS IMHO! In the thread I started about the NISEI unit even Chad from CBRD couldnt say anything bad about the unit about looks, or flow capabilties, I think thats saying alot as Ive have seen him make comments about Perrin and other FMIC in that theres out flows , is bigger etc etc.
I just left Balad I was there for 15 months, and I was there at Taji when I 1st went over back in 08 for 3 months.
I am now in Kuwait and I'll be taking my vaca next month!!! Freakin need it bad.
I looked at the NISEI, looks good, but I also wanted to go with a black FMIC and since ETS does that for only a bill more I was gonna use him, ETS Michel gave me a good price on the UIC, FMIC and Intake, I already have the LICP so I was just gonna go with his full System. Should be getting that probably next week if everything goes good. May look into Nisei's battery kit cause I'll need a mini too.
Cant wait to get back!!!
And WOW!! Freakin Snow. Thats crazy, Hope I miss all of that tho, I hate that crap. HAHA

I got the MAP O2 dump installed. It is freaking loud lol. I love it though. All the mods are bolted up and will be going for the tune on Saturday. Only thing left to install is my EBC, but I will do that when I get up there and start tuning.

By all means stay away from an EMS as the stock ECU has proven to make over 700whp. Why even bother wasting the money? If you have a bone stock EVO, I'm sure that the fellahs there will let you know how to spend a good $1.5K.

Very good advice and it's certainly on my parts list. I have two E85 stations within five miles of the house/job so I'm sticking with it. There is more to follow in my future review of my blown engine.

I have the same O2 dump and I love it as well.

You mean to tell me that you fellahs have some snow there? Heck, it's nearly 70-degrees here in Arizona.
