For shits and giggles i turned my Evo3 rwd just to see what it would be like using the Shep viscous coupler eliminator.While RWD is FUN it is also pointless in autocross even on 12psi of boost with the 225 series tires i have on at the moment.I am planning on reinstalling the front...

This was a pull i did from last week, i have since backed off the actuator rod a little so the boost is lower but the curve is the sameBasically as it is now from 3500-5300 the boost stays at 12psi, from 5300-7500 it creeps in a linear fashion to 18psi.My setup is quite the bastard...

Hi guys,I have all the parts to do this now but i have one last question.The ball joint taper on the stock ball joint appears to be 8*.I measured the smallest diameter at 15mm, went down the taper 15mm and measured 17mm which gave me 7.8*. I doubt my caliper was the most accurate...

I just got done doing a full rebuild. Before the car did not have any fuel pump issues (other than a loud as hell walbro).The car has a rewired Aeromotive Stealth in tank pump in it now, i have 12ga wire running directly from the battery in the trunk and i am using the pigtail that comes...

A log of my Evolution 3 going from daily driver duty to an autocross animalI got the car with a few things done to it, Ralliart front and rear strut tower braces, Cusco Coil overs, Whiteline rear sway bar, Kakimoto 3" cat back, HKS BOV, a Blitz SUS intake and some suspension bushings that...

Got the block back from the machine shop today :) Very pleased with the transaction. The bore finish is excellent in my opinion and the deck surface appears to be more than suitable for MLS use.Got it home and gave it a bath. Used a gallon of H7 and sprayed water through the water pump...

I bit the bullet and asked the machine shop to barely skim the block deck. He understands what i want in regards to surface finish and says he can do it. Should be picking it back up next friday.Today was a day full of work. Got the front suspension and subframe off and got the angle...

Finally managed to get the motor out today.My exedy organic is in top condition surprisingly enough.Every last piston had a broken ring land between the top and middle ring.Washed down with degreaser and waterWiped downATF sprayed every where (i didnt have any motor oil)...

After much searching on evom for what the stock Evo X turbo was capable of and not seeing many 350whp + on pump examples i decided to bite the bullet and get a 20G compressor wheel and housing.The conversion is made by Arashi from Nickel_Sport on ebay. The quality looks decent. The housing...

I decided i was hell bent on getting an Evo X turbo on the car and happened to find one locally from a good friend. The only issue is that no one made a manifold. I have dabbled in mig welding before but never really attempted anything like making a manifold. Bought a Lincoln 125 mig, weld els...

I am building a short runner, unequal length manifold for my Evo3 for use with an Evo X turbo.Everything is carbon steel because i cannot weld stainless. I am not in the US so it's not so easy for me to "just buy a new flange", shipping a $70, 5lb flange will be more than double what its...

Hey guys,I am trying to find off the shelf stuff just to make this easier since I am not in the US.I cannot find an off the shelf piston in 10:1 CR for use with the stock 88mm crank and 156mm rods. The closest thing I thought i found was Manley pistons meant for the 94mm stroke/150mm rod...

I don't know if anyone's posted the weights. I could not find searching so here they areThe DSM stuff should be the same as the Evo3Evo8 valve train on the intake side, Evo3 on the exhaust sideThe scale is a paint scale thats made to mix automotive paint by weight so very...

Well after completely screwing up at a local drag meet and breaking out of the 8 second class i could smell the poor Exedy stage 1 organic cooking up a storm.After talking with Tim Zimmer from TMZ i have decided to get the SS TZ/FE with the heavy duty 6 spring hub/disc to replace the exedy...

So my caliper conversion is completed. I didn't want the weight of the Evo 4+ brembo conversion and i had a pair of FD3S calipers in the shed so decided to research what rotors i needed to make them fit.2005 Nissan Altima 294mm rotors fit the bill.I had some steel brackets cut from high...

Been a while since i updated this and have gotten alot done :)Got some apexi el 60mm gauges boost and tempTraded my stock reclinable Recaro seat for a fixed back Sparco Corsa and got a Schroth Profi 2 6 point for when i auto x.Rewired the fuel pump with 10gauge wire and a 30amp relay...

Hey guys,I am just doing this swap on my Evo 3 with an Evo 3 RS non-abs proportioning valve which looks like the same shape proportioning valve as the 2G.Can someone just confirm that i have the ports ID'd right?"top" ports go to the master cyl"middle" to the front calipers"bottom"...

YouTube - Al & J Bodden Memorial Time Attack Nov 2010 Evo 3A much longer course this time AND we got to do 2 laps.This was done with the Evo 8 ECU swapped in, 5500rpm 2 step :hellyeah:. I was running 40psi front and 37psi rear tire pressure and backed the rear damping down to combat...

The last saturday of every month we do Time Attack here which is basically Autocross on a closed off industrial area road.The course this time was around a 52-55 second course with the fastest time of 52.208 seconds being set by an old Corolla with a heap of workThe AWD street tire...

What a day, and i still have to do the rear trailing arm bushings!Ended up having to remove the turbo to get the stock O2 housing off. The turbo to manifold gasket went and there are none on island so i had to make one with some Felpro graphite high temp stuff. It's holding great so far...

I am in the middle of installing a megan O2 housing and downpipe for a 2g GSX on my Evo 3 (car not the turbo). Ended up having to remove the turbo to get the O2 housing off.My gasket between the turbo and the manifold failed but i cannot find copper sheet or another gasket on island. I did...

Should have some install pics on monday hopefully!Its a 2g GSX downpipe that i am going to use with an ebay O2 housing. Hopefully it lines up relativley close to the cat back i have on so i don't have to do too much fabricating.

Got the new wheels and tires yesterday :hellyeah:The Enkei's are 16x7 +43mm offset (ordered em from Tire rack using a Nissan Altima as the application LOL )The Toyo's are 225/50R16 and 140 tread wear. It's our local autox street class tire limit. Hopefully i get to run next event:pray:

What a pain in the ass job....Dropped the rear subframe, swaybar, diff etc and got the rear bracket and front mustache bar off to swap out to new Ralliart solid rubber mounts. They needed it BAD, i hit the middle part out of the old bushing out with one soft strike of the hammer.Before the...

Whenever I have parts i just can't resist the urge to install them. So 3 days before i get married i am under the car changing out bushings much to the wife's disapproval ROFL. As such i only completed the drivers side.The inner bushing's inner sleeve was rusted solid to the camber bolt so i...
