95 evo III rebuild

[Shaggie907]

well i've been working on this for some time already but i figured i would post here for you guys as well so other could see the project if they wanted to

Disclaimer** yes i suck at spelling... but i'm just going to copy and paste the post from the other forums to sum it up for you guys


well got some new info this will be a bit of a slow process but i'll update when i can some have seen the pics in my first postings but wheres where the car is at
2770lbs.
372 whp on 93 oct pump gas when tuned in cali years ago
390 ft/ tourqe
and some side damage
but i do got the replacement parts on the way here's some pics

bit of a update got the doors off and was able to look a bit more of the damage off to the frame rack it goes before the side of the car comes off figured it was best to undo the factory spot welds and just replace the side like the factory woulda put it on the next thing is do i put the sticker back on or just go back to white

so here's a bit of an up date got the doors on and the car straighten back out the bad metal cut out new metal fitted up ready to go in


and also was bored in forza...

and found some pics of the car when it was first imported

So some more pics of it becoming whole again

 

[Shaggie907]

so before it gets painted
we ran it down the street figured it's the only time we'll see this

i know a buddy was taking some as well but these where my crappy iPhone pics so i'll get his later


well still working on it doors are done was to tired to take the last primer pics and realized man i hate sanding more chassis work to come btw how do you take the front bumper off?

he doesnt help

 

[Shaggie907]

time for another up date been a bit cause well i've been working on the dang thing but now it's in paint...well the car and most of the bits are just some loose ends need to be finished but now come the reassembly job but i've had enuff 3am and other late night for a bit

here's some pics

ill get some pics as bits get on the car

ill get some pics as bits get on the car


sitting at my house for the moment got some odds and ends to finish up but took it out for a bit last night i got a bunch of work stuff coming up so won't have much time for it for a while but for the most part it's together

Thats as it sits now need to find a new front lip the old one was to far gone and all the duct work underside as well for the brakes needs new weather stripping and center console and need to find some evo 3 seats and rails might stick some evo 10 seats in idk yet but the exedy clutch is slipping under boost so need to find a cheap decent twin or looking a spec clutch i have a act 2600 6 puck unsprung but dear god it wouldn't work on the street
did pick up a aeromotive 340 fuel pump that thing is impressive way better then the 255 of old and it would out flow my current bosch 044

best thing of all its awsome to have this thing back on the road the looks and stares and reactions are great and to say i got a real evo 3 from japan is even better and that well all the hard work was done by myself and had some good freinds to help along the way next part of this thread will be the mechinical side of things wich is about time for me i hate sanding now i wanna get back to what i know how to do..


Well replaced the clutch and pressure plate restored the stock tank and sealed it turned the 300zx rotors and new pads in the gtr aluminum calipers and fixed some other misc items and picked up the whole under side of a Evo 8 mr so I'm trying to figure out how to mount the 8 stock suspension under it for now so I can get the ohielns rebuilt so any ideas would be Awsome or links to write ups or specs

ok havn't had time to finish some things and infact found out my top end sputter problem was infact some crap ass champion plugs gap to 45 smashed those down to 28 and way better but had time to take it on a cool cruze thing we do only time you can run what ya brung with no tech inspection but 90 oct with 15psi and no meth and the blown ohleins and all seasons i managed a 13.04@105mph with a 1.83 60' time first run down that track in 5 years in a awd apperantly i'm not as rusty as i thought next will be faster once i have some time to sort out the bits

oh and heres a vid the lights wheren't working on the first couple passes but i got a time slip

update
fuel cell is out and 044 pump gone
back to stock tank now using the aeromotive 340 pump
fuel presure gauge was leaking well it was blown out so capped that off for now

the mismatch front seats are out now inplace of some temp sparcos for the moment

the evo 8 mr bilsteins are under the car for now till the ohielns can get rebuilt

the vce is on odrer for some dyno time to get the car tuned
but here's some pics of the progress

ound out one of my issues with the car was a plug gap i kinda knew it was there and since it's my daily beater well just never did any thing about it till the other day went from 28 to a 25 on the gap running ngk br8es plugs and well that woke it up a bit now i can run about 1.4 bar on 90 oct with about 19 deg of timing on the top end and 21 deg at about peak torque and have about a 10.0 afr i know its rich as **** and the fuel is keeping that timing in check it'll sort it out later i got the vce in now and i'll sort it out on the dyno later but not running the meth and no knock i'm happy

we did a rally cross the other day at a state fair been a few years since i was on the dirt but got 2nd place outta the open mod class by only 4 tenths of a sec to my bud with his suby go pro died but here's some vids of the practice runs
