Good Lord Al, will the madness ever end???? What number are you planning to stop at?

 

Yep!!! 2nd that one. Changed my oil after I left the dealer lot. Yippy!!!

Good numbers!! Glad the stock motor is so strong. I can't wait to see what Pruven does in SCC UCC. I hope they win.. They have all the right ducks in order.

Don't let the dealer find out, if you don't use Mobile1 Syn you just voided your warranty. If you're worried about that stuff, Some people, like myself, know if something happens I'm paying out of pocket.

 

Don't care. **** them if they do. After the car get full broken in it will have a fully Voided warrenty after I'm done.

You play you have to pay.

Absolutely untrue. It's a violation of Federal law in fact. Check the manual, there is NOTHING about requiring the use of Mobile 1. Personally, I love Mobile 1 and will continue to use it because of the protection it provides.

 

And how are you coming to this conclusion? The bearings from your own car? Haven't you been modifying/drag racing your car from day one? How do you come to this conclusion? Have you pulled apart several stock Evo's with 5K miles who've all used synthetic and inspected their bearings? Or are you using your own experience as a conclusion to this hypothesis?

I am no doubter nor am I hating, I just want to know why you think Mitsubishi is making a poor recommendation to their customers.

 

I don't understand. There's a huge debate about this, but synthetic oil can't be a serious thing, since they left it in from factory. What do the bearings look like after 5k miles and how serious is it? Or is that statement for cars modded like yours only?

 

hey al, your evo's a sled bro. when do i get my ride? shouldn't i take priority over all these guys cuz i work for...well, you know where i work.

 

518 AWHP??? GAWD DAYUM!!!

 

First - I took my rod bearings out a few weeks ago and determined they were "on the way out" at only 6 k miles as diagnosed by a master Porsche mechanic - -

Then I just took another evo engine apart completely and that was a stock turbo evo with 5 k miles = = the engine builder at pruven - who is a master DSM expert - DOES not like the condition of the bearings and says the initial break in is not going well on evos due to the oil

Take it for what its worth - agree / disagree - - when my motor is built ot will get regular oil for the first 2 k miles and then mobil 1

 

You get priority - we can do that ride tomorrow or sat for sure !

 

My inital goal I had in mind when I started to think about moding the evo was already met - 400 wheel hp on street trim

Now that i have it - and on low boost - I realize that 450 is going to be possible on 94 ocatne and over 500 without nos on race fuel

I guess I want a 600 plus wheel hp dyno slip and to be the first in 9's with a full interior and a/c

 

Agreed 100% - the typical user would get like 30 - 40 whp gain on the reflash and trottle body alone

Only super nuts like me need to think about adding in extra adjustments - you only pick up a couple of additional hp and you need a dyno

 

They are making us some kick *** evo cams !!! Nothing like good ole USA tech to rock your socks

We are a little disspointed with the hks 272's - not enough lift - they are a mild cam

We needed something with more *****

They are making it

 

Wow! That's Unbelivable power!

One question, if it's not too personal. How much $$$ would you estimate you have invested to this point? I'm mostly interested in the "go" and not the "show". Just curious how much it costs to run with an Enzo.
