He ran with NASA. Look at your region's NASA schedule on their website and see when they're coming to Mid-O.
This is probably the region he ran with. Looks like they go back in August: http://www.nasagreatlakes.com/season...p?eventid=9774

 

That's a pretty good trick for the overflow bottle! Yeah I didn't want to make it sound like all Evo's are overheating and pressurizing their cooling systems out on the track, but my experience has been that it can happen to just about any car when being pushed hard so being prepared is never bad thing. If you need a new head gasket then worst case you can get some headwork done and make more power.

That cracked rotor is scary looking too!

 

Awesome. Thanks for the clarification.

 

Good seeing you too Greg! Sorry I wasn't around longer. It was a rough weekend for my cars.

Unfortunately, right now it would appear something is wrong with the EVOX. I drove it and ended up with it not starting. We put a set of new plugs in it as they were very fouled when we pulled them. Tonight I drove it home, got a CEL in it and it has little to no power. I don't have my scanner, so I'll see what's wrong tomorrow. Hell, it ran great but seems to be having some troubles. It may just need to come apart and checked out. I'll keep this updated.

 

Alright, cancel the last post.

Got up this morning, car fired up instantly. Drove to the shop, grabbed the scanner, found it had two CEL's for the TPS, I haven't had that since the car has been tuned properly. I re-set the CEL's and the car runs/starts/drives 100% perfectly. Who the hell knows what happened there.

I'm going to drive it for the next few days and stay close to home, make sure things seem to stay fine.

 

Sounds like a limp mode of some sort when you drove it and had little to no power. One of the many failure modes won't let you build any boost and the car will feel like a total dog. I triggered that one once when I went WOT at low RPM and one of my "Limits" tables was actually too high at 2000-2500 rpm range for the larger turbo where it was expecting a higher target airflow for the Throttle you were using. What was strange is that I use an MBC so it really cuts down timing and/or limits throttle to prevent you from building any boost. It's somewhat odd that it wouldn't let the car start but you may have tried to give it throttle and it flooded the engine with fuel and fouled the plugs, hard to say.

If you have the specific codes or how you were driving when it entered the limp mode that might help explain what part of the limits tables you may need to adjust.

Thanks Chris, it's for sure not the torque limiters. I'm not sure what set it off but the car has worked perfectly for about 8 months so any type of limp mode caused by the torque limiters aren't it. It actually ran fine on the way to shop this morning, power wasn't cut to nothing like the typical limp mode. Seems fine now.
