Runner porting. I didn't take a pic of the 65mm opening port job, but he definitely ported more than just the opening. He smoothed it deep within the opening to smooth out air flow.

 

my car does the 2000rpm hang too...and it didn't do that when my j-pipe was leaking :s

 

Also, just an FYI, mine used to have the 2k rpm hang too.........until I switched to SD

 

so maybe our maf sensors are going bad then?? i'm gonna take it off to clean it and see what happens then.

 

Ehh..I don't think it's a problem...maybe just the car situating after not running for 6 weeks. I drove it today and it's much less noticeable. It's probably nothing.

 

I don't know if anyone else has seen the yellow Evo rolling around here, but I finally got to talk to him. Here's what I gathered:


His car apparently makes 390whp with a stock 8 (9.8 hotside) ported turbo running at 22psi.

Apparently he has cams (sounded like 272's, he couldn't tell me what kind though) and nothing else and has revved it a couple times at the track to 8500rpm (he doesn't know if he has headstuds, but definitely does NOT have anything done to the head otherwise)

Apparently he ran a 11.3 at 129mph (with a 1.8 60ft) with said modifications and power level.

Planned to put a 4G67 block (I've heard of it, but don't know much about it) with an HKS turbo of some sort



Seemed like a nice enough guy, but the information shared with me seems a bit.....skewed. I know a bunch of people have seen him, but no one seemed to know him or have talked to him. Well....I have now.

And no he's not on the forums. This is apparently his first "tuner" car.

 

good find. I havent even seen a yellow evo around. I have seen an orange-ish one with a crazy paint job, that was on lejeune one day but other then that no yellow one.

 

Skewed ? Very polite way to put that... the time and speed look right possibly, but with that HP level and that 60ft, i def dont see him running an 11.3 unless he was racing down hill with a tail wind and his 1/4 track was shortened about 200 ft

 

I think I'm the only person that hasn't seen that freaking guy. Everyone's like "you see that orange and black Evo?"

No one has said anything positive about the way the car looks yet though. So I'm assuming it looks retarded.

 

I've never seen it either.

I pulled the valve cover today to check/re-torque the headstuds. It's been suggested to me a bunch of times if doing the 1x1 method. I will say that 4 allowed for a smidgen of a turn from when I first torqued them. Everyone that reports back after doing that hasn't had a failure so I have high hopes. I finally ran a clean 1/8npt tap through the meth bung and she screwed right in, so that's good to go now too. As best I can tell, she's solid (boost leak wise) and ready to go.

 

haha thats exactly what i was thinking, but didnt want to have an awkward moment when some random guy pops in here and is like "yeah i drive the orange and black evo with whacked paint"....awkward.

 

Thats when you use the word .... custom

 

LOL. i think im going to get with being brutally honest and just say... retarded... new paint job pls? last time i checked this isnt the fast and the furious.

 

although when i come thru the gates on bragg, that is always the gate guards response.... wow, nice car, fast and the furious ... blah blah blah. I want to get out and shoot them in the face lol. Thinking to myself, yeah fast and the furious, only more horsepower, actual races, unfortunately no hot chics, but on the brighter side, no paul walker

 

11.3@129 with 22psi on a 8 turbo. Not only no but hell to the nah.
