Nice EVO, I would not mind one of those myself.

 

Geez r6, mr2, and now a evo? wtf man! lol

 

Reroute is ghey. Evo is sexy.

kbye

 

You still have the tC?

:thumbup

 

No r6, gixxer 750. We all have our vices... I don't drink, I work my ass off, no girlfriend, so I have my toys =P.

tC will be sold shortly. And quit hating on my re-route, I don't like going BAHHHHHH lol.

 

I knew you had some bike, close enough lol. Anything done to the evo other than whats seen exterior wise?

 

Two completely different beasts... gixxer > yamaha =D.

Before it gets too off topic... http://mr2oc.com/showthread.php?p=4943003#post4943003

Check that thread out... its got a complete mod list and more pics.

 

That evo looks familiar, looks like the evo on the latest dsport dvd

 

It could have been. It only puts down 360 to the wheels though. This car belonged to the owner of Touge Factory.

 

Small updates I guess...

Borrowing engine on engine stand for some mock-up. Head has FINALLY been installed on my car.

 

Working on creating a solid model to flow test with a friend (long story why) but baffle placement will likely change, possibly other features as well but this is the general idea right now.

ETA 1 month?

 

Interesting. I like the evenly exiting endtanks. My only thing is being as they are nothing entering and exiting at the bottom of the tanks how much of the core are they using you think?

 

I don't fully understand what you are asking, but I won't know until I flow test it. Ideally I would have liked to enter and exit on different planes, but since I'm using a 90mm TB, I just decided to go on the same plane. This isn't ideal in my opinion, or anything close to it, but it is what it is and I think it will still work better than any other off the shelf a2a that remains in the engine bay.

 

My bad man. My iPhone auto correct makes my sentences crazy! I was saying being as air is entering and exiting on the same side of the core how much of the core do you think it will use. Also after looking at the pictures I see that there are dividers in the tanks which is a good look. Looking forward to see how it does if you get a chance to get it flow tested.

 

It will be flow tested before I punch and bend up the endtanks so that I know theoretically I am utilizing the whole core as best I can.

The hotside baffle is exactly 50% of the tubes and opening area, and runs parallel to the "larger" tank. I'm hoping it will evenly distribute the air. On the cold side, due to the way air behaves on both the hot and cold-side, typically the first few tubes actually have a reversion type deal going on where the cold side air actually makes it back to the hotside, this is definitely UNWANTED. So I added a baffle on that side to isolate and help encourage these 4 tubes (or 8 if you look at it as two tubes side by side) to flow as they should. I know that is probably hard to understand through the interwebz but that is my thought process and that is the best I can do at 3:30 A.M.

 

Thats a killer idea. Where did you get the inspiration? I like it... and the new intercooler on my car requires end-tank modifications anyways....

 

Myself? Never seen it done but I seem to always over-think/over-engineer parts to eek out that last 5% of power.

 

Well my friend who has flow tested it says I need to remove baffles. I don't know why but I will find out Thursday.

On to the pics, let me know if you have questions. I may have to cut the dump off at the flex and re-do it... FAIL. 4" is NOT as easy as it seems. I need to buy thinner stainless rod, welds look UGLY!

 

On a side note, I may be moving ahead with another project that I didn't want to do till next year. But it involves some serious weight savings :thumbup

RacerX is still working on the intake but I'm not even close to being ready. Intercooler probably done soon-ish, as well as the exhaust which I need to get my butt on.

 

Nice!

 

If you want to eek out that last 5%, send that manifold to swaintech for white lightning coating. I like this build. Nice work!

 

Thanks Jeff. This downpipe has been a biatch, homemade transitions suck!

I'm going somewhere that I believe is even better than swaintech. But everything from turbo to head will be coated.

 

Update: Still working on evening the distribution on the intercooler core, I mis-understood what he was saying, my divider placement was fine. Ordered some injectors and a rail via Jeff at racerx as well as a 4" vanjen.

Discussing the possibility of relocating the radiator, undetermined if it will work at this time. So much to do....

 

Alright so the yellow mr2 I was working on for a customer is finally moving towards completion... so that means mine is up on the chopping block next.
