We've been discussing the need of a tuck, at this point my goal is to get the car driving again. I'll come back to cleaning the bay up once i'm confident in the cars reliability. But that'll give me a good start once i'm at that point, thanks.
Chaz, at this point i'm not quite sure. I'm having it tuned by Aaron, he's pretty certain that it won't be able to hit 500, on pump, although i've seen other builds get above 500. However, without an o2 dump, s3 cams, and a better flowing IM i'd be happy with 450 for its intial tune.
Edit:WOW, your tuck looks amazing. I've deleted a small majority of what I want to in my engine bay so when I have time i'll do that. Evo's are a bit daunting. I did the tuck in my GSX, which was very straight forward. It seems my evo has double the amount of wiring and the additional Mitsubishi BS option offered from factory. Were there complicatons you ran into? The only things I can see actually cutting out at this point will be the emissions, as I already have most of it removed.

The Evo harness is filled with a ton of crap and it really is a pain to work around, especially compared to DSMs.

Thanks man! The only thing I cut was the EGR stuff as I had it all removed already too. Honestly, I really didn't run into any complications. The way that I did you only have to cut and re-connect like 3 wires just to route each plug separately. I could've gotten a ton more aggressive with it, but only it's the difference between a weekend and two weeks of work, and only I would've noticed a difference.

Excited to just drive it again...

Well. We got the car started. Everything seems to be in decent order except a few concerns, that is extreme oil pressure. Reading at 110psi. Is that normal for most motors? I know cold starts are that way. So I'm hoping that's all it is. And the loudness of the gsc lifters. I read something about some gsc lifters not allowing the valves to function properly, I know they're new but I've never heard it quite like this. Going to address this today and make sure the valves are closing, reactionevo is also going the bleed them again to ensure that wasn't the issue.

Well,like Ricky said,we got the car started the other day...it had a dead hole(number 1)...I rebled the lifters since i suspected an issue with them..still had a dead hole...swapped the injector,resistor pack, and coils...still no luck..took the valvecover back off and pulled the lifters on cylinder 1..found the issue..one of the gsc lifters was defective..
I swapped that out and it runs perfect now..going to take it for a spin tomorrow and check it over closely but she is about ready to tune..
got his out of the garage and its onto the next one:-)
