Galantman03's 8G Build

[Galantman03]

Ok is an oil cooler required?

Ok is an oil cooler required?

At the very least yes. You may or may not need a fan on it depending on where you put it, if it's up front by the radiator you should be set with just a basic external cooler setup. It will prolong the life of your oil (and turbo) as well as knock out a lot of your cool down time whether you're driving or idling.

[underated]

grab the fitting with vicegrips and wiggle it back and forth til it comes out. or cut it and drill it out

[Galantman03]

Hmmm...


Ok i have three connections...


What do i need/not need, no egr at all...

[GOOSEY2099]

You need all 3, nothing to do with egr..

[Galantman03]

Ok well there is four on the filler neck... You can t see it in the pic, the small and large are granted easy...but the 2 middle sized tubes, i only have one on the tank... It looks like I'm missing some sort of canister up by the rear tire

[GOOSEY2099]

Is this a gsx neck?

[Galantman03]

Yes... Found the part number on dsmtuning, and i used a gsx vin so it should be.... I'm gonna shoot a cracker if it isn't!

[GOOSEY2099]

just make sure it looks like the one in my build. other than that just connect one of the thin tubes to the one that comes off the tank. and plug the other one

[Galantman03]

Well i know the 95-97 are diff then 98 and 99. I have a 97

[Corey2kG]

Yakayakayaka I like pic a tures :D lol

[Stewi]

Lookin good.

[Galantman03]

Thanks man, just need a evo power steering pump. Cams are getting ordered tomorrow.

[Galantman03]

actually, got a pondering question... how much hp/tq can these prothane mounts hold? or actually, when is a good time to go solid mounts? and if I go solid mounts, can I just to the front and rear tranny mounts, and leave the engine and side trany mount prothane, so it isn't as "harsh" as all solid mounts? I think I'm going to have to go solid, but I dont want the whole dam dash vibrating lol

[master_visionary]

Hey bro the 90s f150s and broncos have a big ass tranny cooler that should work as an oil cooler that's what I picked up pics in my heart transplant thread

[Galantman03]

I would but i kinda picky and like things new and clean...

[Silvertune]

Well I'm nearing 500 torque and I have elongated the holes in my Prothane mounts. I'm getting Energy suspension solid bushings to replace them since the Prothanes have those relief holes to put more give in them. Just that little play has lead to me bending the steel mounting bracket and I have not even power shifted it yet.

That said IIWY get solid bushings if you can, I'm not entirely sure what's available for the Evo. Since you have the four you'll still get plenty of vibration but it won't feel like you're sittings on a type writer like solid mounts will. They're cheap and it's not like you can't upgrade if you blow them.

[Stewi]

Im using a Energy suspension front mount, pro thane side mounts (no holes, solid) and a torque solutions solid rear mount. As soon as you go to a solid rear mount, the dash is going to vibrate, no way to avoid it.

Which cams are you going with? I started with HKS 272's which suck, swapped to the GSC S2's and now this winter im going to switch to S3's. If you power goal is 550+whp I would go straight to an S3. Im hoping for big gains after winter. I ended up with 557awhp with a small FMIC, stock TB, lightly ported stock Intake mani and S2's. Im going to a 75mm TB, AMS F1 intake manifold, S3's and a 24x10.5x3.5 FMIC, I should pick up a solid 75-100awhp with those changes at the same boost level. I've been looking at a lot of 2.4 tuning threads on EVOM, these motors love huge cams. It seems to be all about letting the engine breath up above 6,000RPMs.

Hmm good point, I'm just worried about tcase knock. I might go gave to change the front and rear mounts to energy suspension then if they have no Holes.

I went with s3s lol. They gonna idle Nice! Why not magnus v5 with boomba? You should pick up more then 100 imo from that swap.
Is your head ported? You can't fit a 4 inch intercooler? I'm trying to fit a 27x12x5 inch but i think it will be 4.5 so it doesn't rub on the frame lol and i can't find one so ets has to make mine. The only thing I'm curious about is spool up time with the s3s

[Silvertune]

Which short block are you building? You're going to want to rev way up with the S3's.

Also, what size charge piping are you using? You don't want to go too big or you'll sacrifice a lot of speed in spool time and loss of efficiency.

A big intercooler is important but air flow through it is just as much so. If you get air through it you'd be fine with a 3.5 inch unless you're going for way more power then I think you are. I'm going to have to start from page one!
