As of 2013 Point #8 I broke my Evo. I broke my transfer case and possibly my transmission.

Originally I was planning on disassembling my car at the end of 2013 for upgrades on the motor and building the drive trains ( transfer case, and Rear diff mainly). BUT, upon removing the T-case and Tranny I discover that what could have really cause the problem lies inside the tranny, the fluid from it has so much metal shavings in it, it was silver when I drained. ;(
Hers goes. pics from day 1 9/22/2103. C

Here's the car



Here's engine bay with almost everything removed, turbo, radiator, tranny, transfer case etc etc.


differential removed from transfer case housing.


Metal shavings from a magnetic stick



This is where the transfer case is sync on to the tranny. notice the metal shavings on it??


This came out with the T case fluid



The plan for it is to sent it all to Sheptrans ( www.sheptrans.com) the transmission is going to get a stage 1 build, front open diff will be swap for a lock type LSD, and the rear diff is also going to get an upgrade to a 12 plates set up ( instead of the miss aligned 8 plates from Mitsubishi) and HD side plate, also while the rear diff is out Im also going to be replacing most/ALL the bushings with energy suspensions, and whiteline. Its going to be interesting what a real LSD and rear diff mods is going to do for me next year.

Suspension: not much is going to be change other than stiffer springs for now 600lbs front and 700lbs rear. Replacing the front lower control arms since the passenger one is BENT, upgrading rear toe arms for more toe adjust-ability, and front sway bar. Again MOST if not ALL soft stock 122k miles bushings are going to be replace with solid energy suspension/ whiteline stuff.

POWER: The motor is also going to get some upgrades, Kelford 272 cams, Valve springs and titanium retainers, ARP head studs, 1100CC injectors up from 860CC, ported turbo manifold, gonna change out the intercooler piping's as well for even quicker spool up.

Ill be posting pics of the progress as parts start to arrive at my house and installation. Any comments and inputs are welcome. C

SloGST Nice ride. My Nephew Hunter was telling me about your car. I think it was at the drag strip where he said y'all talked about it.
I read over your build thread and it seems that you are on the way to some good power. If you ever need any help i'm not that far. Its hard to get out of the house sometimes but I will try my best to lend a hand if needed or just hang out.

 

Who's sexy red car in the first pic C??? LOL

 

you mean this RED one?

 

Yessss that's the one LOL

That at the shootout?

 

Yes

 

Is there ANYONE between Huntsville AL and Nashville TN that would be willing to help me do a GST basemap flash to my Ralliart if I buy the cable? Apparently I'm too dumb to even download the software. I'm going nuts with this and really don't want to go the Cobb AP route. Please help. I've posted a similar request before and got no replies. Thanks guys.

 

Just ordered the AMS boost pill and I'm ordering the tactrix 2.0 on Friday. So who's feeling helpful?

 

Ill help. Im in Anniston tho. C

 

Want to try a phone consultation?

 

I've got ECUflash downloaded and my openport 2.0 will be here tomorrow. What I can't figure out is how to DL the GST maps or anything about the .xml files. I'm almost a total PC tard. (No offence meant) if you could walk me through it the first time I can take it from there. I'm a hands on learner so I have to do a thing to really understand it usually. Thanks man.

 

What do you mean by GST maps? Are you trying to pull a rom file from your ecu or are you wanting to write a file to your ecu?

 

Here's a video details of how to flash your ecu.

 

The GST base maps from the ralliart section here. I got it figured out. Thanks the video helped. Buuuuuut I wrecked my car a couple of nights ago before I got my tactrix cable in so that'll have to wait a couple of weeks.
