exactly where the car sat the whole time. i begun the project by getting lucky and finding a pair of the exact same seats that it should have for 1k within an hour's drive. maybe they were the seats that got stolen years ago after passing hands a couple times? dude bent the brackets up to fit them in a civic

cleaning it up some more. around this time we sent the coilovers to tein in california to get completely redone and ordered the EDFC active pro system which is a controller and bunch of stepper motors that can adjust shock damping settings, either by selecting presets, or with the active pro you can set it up w a G sensor or gps to stiffen specific shocks automatically, front on heavy braking, outside wheels in a turn ect, or progressively over a certain speed. i have it hooked up both ways, it's neat!

don't be sad. they're all in capable hands with a loving owner and are going to get the same treatment as this evo.

here is said evo after the first full detail. at this point i have driven it and it needs brakes badly and only makes slightly over wastegate boost. back into the garage it went

well the idea would be to get it to dailiyable+ condition and buy and i'll build another motor/trans while he drives on this one for a while, and knowing him, probably plays with the boost controller and maybe breaks stuff but i'll hopefully have a fresh swap almost ready before that happens

>>steam cleanined the inside of the bumper and intercooler and shit while bumper was off to replace the shit spectre t-bolt clamps that didn't have a tension spring (need the spring ones for high boost stuff where the pipes expand and contract a lot- the lower hoses kept blowing off at shitty times and i was summoned via uber a couple times to fix it on the side of back roads at night) and installed hella supertones while bumper was off

after a full steam cleaning and running properly! this thing made 420whp last time it was tuned by jeff evans. i have an evoscan cable coming to tweak the tune some when the cusco power brace, ETS 3.5' intercooler specifically made to fit and andonised blue to match the power brace, and full ETS full titanium intercooler piping. because it looks bitchin as fuck and it's gonna be needed with the new motor and larger turbo anyhow,

this is where the car is at now. the owner just left with it right after i put the bumper on today, and i know he's playing with the boost controller and beating it (i told him to stay under 28psi but have fun otherwise) and thankfully the intercooler hose hasn't blown off *yet*. i cant wait until the new piping comes, hopefully today?

i've been diagnosing his race-built super crazy yfz450's plug fouling issue all day. i hate carbs ugh

Good luck finding one of those TRD superchargers.

They are rare as all fuck.

Finding a 1MZ-FE in good shape is piss easy though.

damn, i hadn't considered that. i was hoping i could buy one from the dealer still. guy wants me to buy the engine brand new from yota regardless of price, so i should be able to find a supercharger even if i have to overpay and get it shipped. i used to work in salvage and have damn good connections for finding parts

>>17709561
If you can find one, you will shell out 3K and it will take months to find.

Just buy a jap crate motor 1MZ with VVTI and turbo it. It will be alot less of a headache.

the go with 2.3 is usually a TD06 but if you're wanting to go north of 420whp you'll have to go bigger. have a look at some of the AMS setups

i've been looking at the 2.3rr 17k motor lol. dude was actually down but i could build basically the same thing for so much less and get all the labor for myself. i dunno, they had another built 2.3 for like 9k that was somewhat more reasonable and like what i'd end up using if i didn't do it myself. looking for as much power as possible on pump that's theoretically dailyable. i'd like to see somewhere in the 600 range before i'm finished with it.

>>17710084
thank you. i think it's neat too. it's like i'm on car vacation and getting paid for it. living on a farm in the woods a couple weeks at a time and working on cool stuff is so up my alley i can't believe my luck honestly. i did some work for sam hyde and i don't think i was this excited even then

>>17710112
the jist of their engine is a destroked 4G64 head on a 4G63. it will start to get laggy past 600hp but even that is pretty overkill in an evo. less weight goes further than more power on those later models

honestly i don't know why he want's that much power other than just because he can, the car is already scary fucking fast at the current level of tune. when i finally figured out the boost control issues and hit boost- and kept going the first time, it scared the hell out of me. 1st and 2nd are fucking raucous in this car. it's got carbon hood and trunk already, dude maybe wants fenders, and doors are just too much money. it's legit a daily and being built as such so there isn't much more weight i can take out without gutting the interior. bumper bar is gone for the cusco one and the trunk is completely stripped as well.

gotten a price check for doors of an RS? They weigh quite a bit less than the standard doors and are a lot cheaper than going aftermarket.

Does anyone know what this recaro is from? I wanna clean it up and make a shop chair out of it, I think it looks cool. If I had to guess I'd say it's from the mr2 before the custom interior? Maybe the Miata?

Is there a seat tag with a serial on it?

Holy shit op this is one of the best threads I've ever seen on /o/. I'm amazed at the transformation in that Evo. It looks really good, and I can tell you know what you're doing.
I'd love to be the personal mechanic/tuner of some crazy rich guy and just build all the things I dream of. I saw you saying you had some trouble in the past, but I really fucking envy what you're doing.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

I feel exactly the same, but not to the extent of what you're doing, they just shrug it off and aren't interested.

i love this cusco power brace. it actually secures the bumper pretty damn solidly still, which i was worried about. doesn't really look like it but pushing on the center of the bumper you'd never know there's no actual bumper beam.

04 yfz450 i rewired. carb on this thing had been giving me nightmares. when i was done wiring it the damn thing started pissing race fuel out of the carb drain by itself, and when i got that fixed now, 2 weeks later it's running way way too rich and fouls plugs in like 5 minutes after running great the whole time. i would just buy a brand new carb but this thing is built to hell and it'd still have to be rejetted etc. just fucking, ugh! carbs aren't included in my diagnostic wizardries

also it doesn't charge for some reason but it's been like that since i first looked at it. these specific quads have a weird charging system that requires resistor packs to be added if the stock lights are taken off, this one has every stock light removed and some LED headlights added, which don't draw much- i figure this is the problem, or maybe the stator is dicked. who knows? if anyone knows about these please chime in.

pic- damn mice literally make a brand new nest in the quad by every morning if it's in the barn. annoying, but i surprised one out of the airbox and into the plastics and got the dog to notice before he got away, which was entertaining to watch. mouse ded now

Like textbooks I think idk

Unrelaed but if you want to learn, or just want a reference to check up on self-taught skills I very much recommend these books on Amazon. Like 20$ each and a lot of good info I loaned them to the owner to help him keep up with me when I'm getting technical and they really helped

i did 4 years of vo-tech in high school and a 2yr associate's program in automotive at a local community college, and took a year of welding courses. i'm well trained in OEM type stuff but mostly self taught on anything weird or aftermarket, i also somehow got through school without understanding electrical fully, as well as flash/standalone tuning and spent a lot of time teaching myself from various sources, as well as faking it till i made it (i've always been great at this)

op here. i just realised something that blew my mind- the last inspection was in '08 and the car is an 06. fucking thing was only driven for like 3 years max which is kinda nuts. a lot of electrics and solenoids are fucked but the motor appears to be running a+ with only 43k miles i think (?)
