Azgalant's evo head build and 5-speed

[azgalant]

Alright I have decided to start this build thread because I am almost done with my swap. I decided to go on this route because i basically done all the performance bolt on things like from ebay which I wasn't really happy with the results it gave me lol. So after a lot of research I thought this was the best route for me. What has been done to it is that it has been built from top to bottom with mostly all performance parts so we'll see how it comes out can't wait . I am thinking of being NA for awhile until I have enough money for turbo lol

Evo 8 head-
HKS Adjustable Cam Gear-
Brian Crower stage 2 cams-
turbo manifold and Magnus intake manifold and magnus fuel rail-
Evo 8 Ecu-
Eagle Rods-
Weiseco Pistons-
Arp studs-
Hks timing belt-
Evo 8 Injectors-
I know I am missing more but can't think of it lol

5 Speed Tranny
Tranny with the whole swap setup-
Exedy Stage 2 Clutch-


This is my first car and i have had it for about five years.

Looks good so far. It's nice to see another AZ member. You should look into the thread made by another member so we can get a meet.

[azgalant]

Yea thanks and yea i'll try had more pictures but I lost them already lol and yea I have seen it, but my car won't be done for like another month hopefully less lol and yea we can arrange a meeting sometime in the future lol

[mrg7243]

hopefully my car will be like this in a year or two, ive hade these plans just not money. But nice build anyways, JW what head work is done besides intake??

[stvn_mj]

Well we haven't done one in a while so when it's done let us know. Your build makes me want to install my own 5 speed but it just sits in my garage atm. Goodluck with the build keep us updated.

dang where the hell did you come from?! lol this is nice keep up the good work

[azgalant]

Actually the head is basically stock parts just machined and all i have for internals is the eagle rods and the Wiseco pistons and the Brian Crower Stage 2 Camshafts. Other than that the block just got cleaned and bored out.
