I have it sitting in my garage in a box, need to throw it up for sale.
The comment was made in another post that there are so many projects going right now that next summer (2013) is going to be awesome! It seems that the nic-name of "cruel summer 2013" Is sticking! lol
It would be a good thing to be apart of. Nothing bad!
OoOoh that momo wheel is tits. I have a proposition for you :P I bet you can guess.Quote:

I've hit a snag with the intake pipe, I have no idea what to do in order to clear the slave cylinder bleed screw, any suggestions would be welcome.
weird.....I never hit the slave cylinder bleed screw. I think Jigz had the same problem. Hopefully he'll chime in
Nice.
Yeah thats a problem with the stock evo mani is to closed by the slave.
Bro are you running any oil cooler?
You need to mill down a flange at an angle, I have the same issue when I was working on my buddies 3g, if that's to much you can add a 3rd flange not sure if you will have the room near the fans,

As you can see i had milled down at an angle, still .5 on the bottom .25 on top,

Here it is installed, it will barely clear the bleeder valve, with the intake pipe on, with this set up I have just enough room to slide the fans it and it all clears, I pretty sure you can add a 3rd flange and still clear it as well since the 8g has more room

I will be running an oil cooler, I just haven't installed it yet, it's a setrab unit

So I got the evo stock intake to work
a combo of things, first, I replaced the bleeder screw on the slave with a stubbier version from a local parts store, then I took a sander to some of the little ridges on the intake to effectively narrow it down a little where it would be touch, there's about 1/8 inch of clearance now which I'm happy with, means I'll have to pop the intake off for bleeding the clutch but I can deal with that
Good deal man, it cost me 120$ to get the flange milled.Quote:

I rather use a tubular manifold and pay a shop to cut the runners and angle it up to make it clear the starter than use milled flanges and extended studs.Quote:

ok, car is mainly together, only thing left is injector wiring, ecu install, running the knock sensor, installing a fuel pump and making an oil cooler bracket. Most of that is on hold since I'm waiting for a package from underated that includes my injector clips, resistor box, and ecu in it. Looks pretty OEM to me which was what I was going for.

wait wheres the bov? and I'm digging the oem look. oddly enough its the look I'm going to be rocking for now too. great minds think alike.
BOV is a stock 9 bov that mounts into the intake and then the crinkly hose you see runs from it to the upper IC pipe
You have it mounted on the intake? It should be reversed. Bov mounted on the uicp and hose is recirculated into the intake pipe
I know it sounds weird but this is how they are mounted on stock evo intakes, the blow of valve is by a hose that leads from the IC pipe and then recirculates into the intake pipe, it's the same concept just the bov actually dumps directly into the intake :)

ooooooooh! ok! I got yah. same concept just a much longer hose. had trouble visualizing that. good deal
yeah, the way the bay was laid out I had to use the longer house, in the future I'll hardpipe and probably go speed density and run VTA
for sure! going speed density cleans up the bay SO much. its ridiculous. I'm going to be tuning a 69 swapped eclipse on speed density here pretty soon. cant wait to see the power and drivability difference on this platform. I'm curious to see how your numbers will turn out as well as some track times when the season comes around
GOOD DEAL. looks good. get better pics. is not clear.

track wheels picked up for next season :)
Just keeps getting better doesn't it lol
what the.....rockin bbs's for track wheels! :)
^yeah, what's wrong with that lol?
Everything, and I mean everything is done other than the injector resistor box wiring and the evo ecu install however I'm waiting on those parts to show up from underrated in vegas, hoping they are here in time to get the car tuned by English Racing on the 28th. In the meantime I'm gonna copy the tow hook design that XD-01 so kindly shared with us and find a nice bronze TOW sticker to place above it.

put the OEM prefacelift VR4 mesh in, haven't decided if I wanna keep it in or not, benefits include protecting the intercooler from debris and making the fact that the car is boosted much stealthier, but at the same time my inner ricer kind of wants the intercooler exposed. Opinions?
Take it off and paint the cooler matte/satin black. I've had no mesh for years w/o having problems.
Leave mesh.
Leave IC silver.
Clean and classy with that ricer flare.
Trust me, I'm a ricer. (As proven by massive tip on my GREDDY exhaust)
Lose the mesh. I think it restrict air flow.
^Agreed on removing the mesh.
As for airflow restriction, not enough to make a real difference.
Also vote for black painted IC for stealth. Not that any one will suspect a Galant to be turbo.

well I know for a fact it won't restrict airflow enough to matter that much, I'm mainly worried about driving the car around 80 miles per day and having something damage the IC, I've already had a decent amount of the fins get damaged in the past month that it's been mounted, there's a reason why stock cars have mesh over their intercoolers. We'll see how it looks once the car is off jackstands and out driving.
So just to confirm for those who are curious, stock evo downpipe works perfectly if you use the stock evo pan, not cutting or trimming necessary, I retained the stock evo heatshields too so it all looks very OEM once again. Made a test pipe today with the help of a friend, it's exactly 15 and a quarter inches from flange to flange and connects the evo downpipe to the galant catback. I do have a question though, for those of you who are catless or have run catless, is it worth getting the rear O2 sensor spacer (which I have but have not installed) if the car is going to be tuned on the evo ecu to be able to "force pass" emissions?

thanks for the responses guys, I'm almost done, just getting ready to wire up the injector resistor box but I'm having a hell of a time with it, I know that I'm suppose to wire in the box at the point where the red wire from each injector collect into 1 but I've stripped the harness back quite a bit and they just keep going forever. Am I doing it wrong?
