STM's Evo is ready for the Shootout! Are you?

4G63 girl · 08-09-2008, 11:34 AM

Just wanted to post an update on our 05 Evo:

Since our last pass at our local 1/4 mile track in Leicester of 10.1@137, we haven't been able to run due to our lack of a roll cage, but we've been finding time to tune it here and there. We are having a hard time turning the "RICER" into a full-blown race car and we just aren't ready to tear it up with a roll cage yet!

We are certaintly hoping to get this stock-block 4g63 motor to see a 9 second pass! As of now, this Evo is the fastest and quickest stock-block Evo in the world and I would personally like to see it as the fastest stock-block 4g63 in the world!

I've had some unconfirmed reports of someone's DSM running a low 10 on a stock motor- if anyone has anymore information on the fastest stock-block dsm's, I would like to see what has been done.

When I say "stock motor" I mean the head has never been off the block. Stock head gasket, stock internals, rods, pistons, no porting, stock valves... It does have ARP head studs and 272 cams.

None-the-less, we plan on building the motor after this season, I think after the shootout we will have pressed this motor to it's limits and, most likely, way beyond!

Here's some pics!

We just put on the Japanese Evo IX rear bumper...

Hope to see you all at the shootout!

So when you guys blow the headgasket halfway down the track on the first pass, got a spare?

Looks AWESOME...Maybe some paint on that chrome finish trunk lock..... That's really nitt picking, I love that CAR!

if you guys classify a "stock block" car with not having the head removed and stock headgasket, how did you put ARP head studs in? so if you were going by your standards of a "stock block", your evo would not fall into this category.

You don't have to remove the head to install head studs.

The head has never been off the block. The head studs were replaced one by one..

Thanks

Can you go more in depth with this? I heard this is not a good way to do it. Something about uneven sealing of the head. If it works though I would like to do it then.

As long as you take the old bolts out in the correct order, shouldn't be a problem.

The way we did it is not the right way and does not work every time. Do it at your own risk.
