I've been having a blast driving this thing. I think i've driven it almost every single day since getting it running again. This forged build has a lot more grunt out of boost than the old 6.0's, it would definitely hurt some feelings without the turbo on it. We took it for it's maiden longer...
Back with another update! Gambled on engine number 2 and to no fault of anyone's I lost. We put the gen 4 in, fired it up and it seemed to run great, however, oil pressure was pretty poor. 40psi cold and 20psi hot which is pretty low for an LS. I pulled the pan as I had inspected everything...
Been a while for an update. I actually drive this car more than most of what I own at this point. Everyone that sees it loves this thing, even the people who questioned my sanity when I purchased it have grown to love this thing. My boss has refused to drive it and we think it's because he knew...
It's eagle summit/mitsu RVR/LRV/EXPO/Spacewagon etc etc on facebook. There is a guy on there that did exactly what you're wanting to do with success which I've considered as well but I'd be more comfortable with a full replacement stub.
2g non LSD axles would probably be your best bet but cut down and resplined as they're too long for the N23 chassis out of the box. I have a bunch of axles here I can potentially dig out to measure off of but I know this was discussed on the RVR facebook page without much success. I have a local...
I run the spal 30102038 on pretty much every one of my dsms as theyre the only fans I've found large enough to keep the AC pressures under control in AZ summers and have a continuous use CFM rating. I'm currently running them off the stock fan wiring in most of my cars with the hi/low tied...
Step one- throw the long tensioner rod in the trash. I tried to use mine on the first timing job I ever did and have never once touched it since.
Step two- remove the hydraulic tensioner from the car. 2 bolts, stick it in a vice and SLOWLY compress it until you can put the pin back in. I always...
I really need to update this since the sound dropped half way through a few years ago and it was taken on a 1.3mp camera phone, but you get the gist of it.
I think you're overthinking cylinder wear with the stroker. I've had a buschur 2.3L in my evo 8 for 10 years of my ownership with an FP black on e85, the engine has well over 70k miles on it at this point and I just had the head off last year, Cylinder walls still have cross hatching and it...
Excited to see this back out on track again, as far as the power steering return line goes you can use 3/8" transmission cooler line to replace the rubber return line. It's hydraulic fluid rated obviously and works really well. I've had the same hose on my 98 spyder for the last 9 years after...
More upgrades! It's getting hot in AZ finally and that means its time to make this AZ heat ready. This car was a base model when I started so manual windows, locks, and no A/C factory. Its also a fishbowl so you bake in the sun driving around. luckily for me a local knew about a van in the yard...
I really need to get better about updating these things more frequently. I've basically just been daily driving this thing since my last update. I drive it pretty regularly just because its fun to rip around in. It still needs window tint and A/C installed and it'll be an awesome daily. Since...
It wouldn't be a prerunner without some glass fenders and bedsides. My boss had a colorado prerunner and didn't like the fitment of his original besides, they've been in storage for like 10 years and I had mentioned to him I was looking at grabbing a ranger off marketplace to rob the glass off...
Ironic my last update was the terminator saving the engine, only for my next update to be about how turning off the safeties in the ecu (or not turning them on) was a dumb idea :tease:So I've been driving this thing since pretty much the last update. We put the holley in and with a little...
