Heres some pics of my new car i'm getting in a few weeks, its a 2008 Evo X TC-SST MR Edition has all the cool shit on Sat Nav, BBS Wheels, Two Piece Brembo's, Bilstein Shocks, Leather Recaro Seats etc. I'm going with the black on black theme with carbon fibre everywhere and I already have the first few mods written out on a list, firstly will be a set of Rays Volk CE28N 19x9.5 +22 in Black (bonus as the evo x shares same offsets as the GTR's), a set of Coilovers probably Tein Monoflex's and Tomei Titanium Cat Back Exhaust. Also we are going to be Mackay's Offical Sucrogen E85 dealer and will be a performance parts dealer aswell, not to keen on building other peoples cars but if they pay handsomely then ill think about it. Our shop is called RBE - Race Bred Enterprises (Its a shit name my brother chose it) so if you's need some awesome fuel give us a bell, we should be fully operational very soon.

Anyways here's some pics:

Nice. Evos aren't really my thing but they are a good car. Looks tidy anyway, good buy by the looks of it

You can't have TWO cars better then all of ours so no mods :P

When you say you will be doing performance parts, how big a range is this. I kinda want to find a HKS GT2835 Pro S to replace my KAI as it's not really living up to the Pro S specs as it was supposed to. Otherwise might ask HKS if putting a .8 rear on it might give me the results I want

E85 will be a bonus :) just wish it was readily available so I could have an E85 tune to run everyday

  • 2 weeks later...

Lol i could have told u that Cal adjustable arms are the go so easy to adjust. As for the business really only wanna stick with the major imports like skyline,supras,evo etc and specialise in RB engines. I have enough project cars to keep me occupied for the rest of the year.

So after 2 years you finally started it? haha

Yeah if you want.... But I guess it will have to wait a week or two unless you want to do it thursday afternoon

I cant believe how much toe in I have a the rear of my car now lol. Hopefully the wheel alignment goes good, they said they could adjust camber bushes so they better not turn around and say "oh we've never done them before" or I will get super angry lol

I can wait a week or so, haha. I've got all the material and just waiting for the base plates to be Laser Cut and then it's just a matter of test fit and weld. After this there is going to be a one peice air box and radiator diffuser... thingy.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
