My Motor did not fail "catastrophically" Actually - I was ideling in a parking lot of my favorite nitrous refill station when, sadly, an intake valve guide tip broke off and started to bounce around in the combustion chamber.
The breakage is atributed to either a casting flaw in a cheap stock valve guide, installation error by the machine shop, or the very high lift JUN 272 cams causing the retainer to hit the guide
Either way - it was not too bad as it was at idle and I shut it down right away. All it really needed was a little sanding down of the piston to make it run again. But since I had it all apart I elected to refresh the entire motor again with new pistons - experimenting with a different piston ring gap - new bearings and make it all mint again.
The good news is my friends George and Tommy at the local Ferrari shop took an inetrest in my sad situation and whipped my engine back together in about 1 day. If I didn't have to go away on a little business trip and IF I wasn;t so busy with the Dyno Flashing I would have had my car running a lot faster. I got it back together and running two days ago and I couldn't be happier!!!!!!!!!
PS - I also noted the same results with retarding my cams a couple of degres. It seemd to get the action slamming much harder in the mid range and more detonation resistant.
Thanks for the interest in my EVO adventures!!!!!!! If your not prepared to break a few parts you certainly won't be at the top of the Evo game for long !!!! All I can do is quote my ole friend Jam Shim who very wisely once told me - "Welcome to Motorsports"

Shiv, thanks for the explanation. So your cam gears are not adjustable, right? Also, would you please elaborate on the difference - in generalities - between stock, yours and 264 and 272 cam gears if one were to use them with stock cams. I read up online and kinda understand the theory behind retardation/advance and open/close duration, but cannot seem to make the connection.
Thanks

This adjusts the amount of time that the air/fuel mixture has to flow into the cylinder (because at BDC your cylinder will be able to hold the most obviously, so timing the intake side of things is critical to how much power you make and where). It also allows for adjustment of the exhaust side, so the piston cycle (up-down-up-down) can push out the most exhaust gas possible without overlapping too much on the intake side. That, of course, drives the turbo turbine which forces more air through the intake tract, and so on and so on.
At least this is how I understand it, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

When are you going to be Verona? Car pulls like it's got a point to prove. Clutch is next does not feel like it's liking the power. Oh and I still did not get in the whole turbo back just cat back.

HeyEric , when we talked on the phone a couple days ago , you mentioned that the B&B muffler was restrictive and you didn't know if you were going to switch to a different exhaust. I had a suggestion. A couple days ago , I got a GReddy catback installed on the Lancer but had the muffler cut off and replaced it with a HKS Hi power muffler. Maybe something like this would be an option instead of switching the entire system out. If you went with the B&B downpipe and cat delete , you would have the full B&B turbo back with a straight through muffler replacement. It would be less restrictive and you would have a one of a kind system. Just a suggestion !

I think if you pik up the B&B cat delete and downpipe , you will be a bit happier. I know that you said the B&B muffler is restrictive but it still produces the same , if not more hp and tq than the other systems.

Eric I am still on the fence about the cat back from you. DRC you have a PM.
