Yeap ported evo 8 10.5. Hoping for 350/350 which should be doable for now. Then change it up when I awd swap.

I like the fact you used longer bolts instead of studs for the spacer on the ex manifold. Also what made you go with the evo non-abs master?

Couple reasons. First wanted to see if it would work, second they have a built in prop valve so I don't have to do the v6 it is the perfect bias for the brembos, third once I change some things up I can move the brake lines down the drivers side of the car making the firewall cleaner.

ahhh I see what your saying now. You know what if the nuts look like bolt heads (which Ill be honest I thought they were) the studs may be to short if there torqued down in the pic ending in 010238

They aren't torqued down at all. I just ran the studs I'm and did the first couple threads. They will be fine once I set them in. Reason for studs over bolts is that I hate trying to align bolts. Easiest to slide it on a stud and run a nut down. Also I like the look of the copper nuts.

U be able to do so easy with those pistons. And an insane response. Awesome.

Those are sick rims!

[spdracr]

U want that fuse as close to the positive terminal as possible. I replaced it with a breaker sitting 6" from the positive terminal in the trunk and used a distribution block in the engine bay.

[mrg7243]

I am going to have a breaker at the battery as well.

This is way off topic.... but, I love the surroundings of your house bro! Anyway we can see a nice panoramic view from far?

[mrg7243]

Yeah I can shoot some tomorrow. It's my parents house.

Just read updates on S/W, so had to come here and give props due to me not having an account there. Hope all goes as planned for you and h20i. Every vid I see of it makes me wanna go. Don't wanna get too off topic from your build, but is h20i just mainly cruising the strip and hitting lots or is there a show? I've always wanted go for the strip. Night life looks crazy.

Anyway, nicely done on the motor, paint, and other bits. Also the score on wheels.

h2o this year was pretty much rained out. But there are tons of meets everywhere and lots of stuff to see just parked. There is a show but no one ever goes. The car did not make it due to cracking my compressor housing. So I took a bit of a break from the car.

Last pieces to the suspension are in

Here is the most current shot of the bay.

Within the next week I am trying to start it up. I have a little more wiring left, mounting the IC, putting a battery in, and fluids

[mrg7243]

Been a busy couple of days. Can't seem to get shit done between school and work. Life has been 5hrs of slep, then school then work then build the racecar. Wash rinse and repeat but things are coming to an end so I am glad.





All new hoses.





Brackets I made to adapt the evo 5 radiator.



Paid 6 bucks a filter with new crush washers. Figure with the amount of oil I am changing why not.



And I got 1 injector wired.

Tons of little buttoning up stuff left. Then crank it and hope it coughs.

[mrg7243]

Finished the exhaust up today. Custom downpipe, evo test pipe, to 2.5 inch megan. Which is very temporary. I want to change the setup to some 3 inch oval.

[spdracr]

Is that hose going from the brake booster to the intake manifold just a plain hose?? Cuz u need a check valve in there.
