Mike, You better be careful copying phrases such as "got evo" from Got milk commercials. I'd bet they have it trademarked. Also...whoever took that picture of the engine. Just gotta watch out for people with copyright/trademark rights. You don't want to deal with that.

 

Ben,

Is your guy still interested? He still coming down next weekend for FF? I just drove her down to TTP and made 495WHP on pump gas on my GT30.

 

Haven't seen him because he is no longer in my company. I will see if I can run into him tomorrow.

 

yeah i know what u mean. I didnt even think about the either. but that the one that i made today at a t-shirt store. I will be in town the thursday. so any word on the track this fri. im only going if we have a good turn out!

 

Luke...I fully expect to capture a picture just like this one of you rounding the main gate...when/if you ever get your car back.

Lol, I told my wife that last night! she just laughed and said if i blow another engine ill never get the chance to get that type of build lol

 

I graduate sniper school tomm a week off then team leaders course..

I wanted to throw my turbo, dump, test pipe, LICP and gauges on this weekend

anyone down?

 

im down

I went to see if by the grace of god my car was done even though i hadnt heard anything from mitsu yet, and after an engine rebuild including a brand new block, a machined head and other oem parts that were destroyed in the engine all being replaced, cylinder 3 still has no compression, and thats the cylinder that said F**K the world and made me crap my pants that day. The mechanic asked why I changed the spark plugs and I told him that one of them had blown, and it wasnt the cylinder 3 one, and he is just clueless as too why after the rebuild theres no compression there, i am now highly frustrated and losing my mind!

 

You have got to be kidding me.

 

And he calls himself a mechanic? Not that I could do better but come on. Absolutely no compression in a cylinder must be a huge problem that has been seen before, at least by an experienced mechanic or engine builder.

 

would the ecu need to be reset since it registered the problem when the motor went, will it still read no compression in that cylinder and cause it to stay that way?

 

I'm assuming he's doing a physical compression test. I'm not sure if the ECU can even tell you current piston compression. That'd be crazy, but I'm not an expert on this stuff.

 

^ I agree

I'm no expert, but I would assume that the mechanic is taking a physical compression test so that would have nothing to do with the ECU.

I feel your pain though. I bought my Evo 8 September 2008 thinking it would be complete by November at the latest. Here we are in August 2009 and it's nowhere near done!! Mine is getting sold as soon as it's complete though. I'll buy another Evo that's not so troublesome!!

 

anyone by chance have some turbo hotside studs lying around?

 

mmm sounds like yet another stubborn o2 housing.
