Saturday is a NO GO for me....Family stuff planned for the holiday weekend. Sorry Heather. If you can make it on Sunday...I should be able to free up some time to knock it out.

Again, I apologize.

Paul

 

My days off are monday and wdnesday.. Sunday after 6:00 im good for, or fridays

 

Sunday is good for me to, just let me know when to stop by and I'll be there!

 

Kent,

Thanks for the offer. I'm not looking for the one that connects to the TB, I'm looking for the piece of hose that is connected to the pipe that goes before the TB. If you have that one let me know when I can give you a call.

 

Sunday....any time after about 10am....come one, come all.

 

I'll be seeing you around 11am!!

 

Heather.....pleasure meeting you and working on your car. I hope you like the way it runs.

 

Thank you so much!!!! The car feels like a totally different car, and I love it!! It also was a pleasure meeting you and again thanks for all your help! Check engine light came back on but I'm ordering the o2 sensor thursday

 

Its hard to believe what some people will do to their evos to make them run like crap, but you took it to the right guy! Nice meeting you and your friends (I was the guy that showed up in the white evo)!

 

Yeah my poor evo..Loose clamps and zipties, that's an srt4 thing, I was surprised to see all of
that! But thanks to paul the evo is back to her
normal nuts and bolts self, no zipties or crappy tune.. It was nice meeting you also!!

 

The head is back on the car. Should have it 100% in about an hour.

 

Paul whats wrong with your car?

 

Head gasket was leaking coolant and compression was low in cylinder 3. Replaced the crappy cometic head gasket with a new stocker. Compression is back to within spec and the leak is gonzo.

I'm gonna drive it this way for a week or so, then pull the valve cover and re-torque the head studs. Then, I can tune the heck out of it.

I have to say, the car loves the Perrin silicon suction pipe much better than the HKS pipe. It was $ well spent. The HKS pipe will work great if I ever go speed density.

 

Heather,

Glad to hear you got your car running the way it should be. What was causing your boost issues?

 

The boost issues were caused by loose couplers and the stock solenoid being installed without the factory pills installed. Thus the car only ran wastegate pressure.

I repaired all of the leaks, tweeked a few other little things, installed an old school Buschur MBC, and put in a tune for 24-25 psi on pump. The car is now putting down an easy and reliable 300 ish hp and tq.
