Boothy's progress thread / build thread
Hi everyone this is my first post & first evo, im not new to the turbo scene but always wanted a evo, It came up on ebay with a blown engine and i thought it would be a great project to get my mits on, Anyway after a 350mile round trip i finaly have it sat in my garage, ive spent the last couple of days taking the engine out, The block is totaly shot and the head is salvagable with only a very minor bent valve, So im thinking about rebuilding the head with new valves and porting and polishing it, There are a few modified parts on the car like boot floor brace, hks dump, air filter and i think the ecu has been played with, The ecu says 8000rpm on the side which is frightening maybe why it blew in the first place.
In the garage undergoing surgery
This is the ecu, i still need to take it out and have a look inside
This is the millage, don't they have to be converted to mph by law?
This is the damage caused by a conrod bending
SUMP
BLOCK
Got the engine out Friday, was going to take it straight out of the top but my engine hoist hydraulic fluid needed topping so wouldn't go up far enough so it had to come out the bottom which was easy enough anyway,
As you can see the con-rod bent and the crank has eaten the piston lol
