turboteks wife evo finally breaks :(

[ray@turbotek]

the car was bought in june of 2006, she had a chevy cobalt ss and hated it, ever since 03 she had been telling me that someday she hopes to have an evo 8 red with roof. On june 6 of 2006 i took the day off so she took my sti to work that day. I was so bored that morning that i began searching online for evo 8's i found this red one with sunroof at fredbeans with only 26k miles on it so my son and i took a drive out there. i test drove the car and asked my 5 year old if he thought dad was going to get in trouble by mom if he came home with it and he said yes you will be in deep trouble, so i bought it!!! from fred beans i drove straight to her job and asked her to see her keys for a second i took the cobalt keys of her key chain and put the evo ones on there, gave them back and she still had no clue. at 5pm when she got out i got a call from her, she was in total shock, i will never forget that moment.


this is the car when it was bought

a couple of weeks later we started working on her sponsorship proposal because she is going to start racing

http://usera.imagecave.com/revitup/brooke013Medium.jpg

her 1st mods were an safc and an mbc, bushur muffler delete, dejon tools uicp, short ram intake
http://usera.imagecave.com/revitup/Picture341-copy.jpg

we then realized that the stock clutch was starting to slip really bad so we installed a new one

[ray@turbotek]

looks good but i dont know about the red centers.....and you gotta get some black lugs

i figured id try the red , i may end up painting it black

[Munky]

Ditch the red center caps for sure and who cares about the lug nuts. Glad to see your wifes gonna be faster than you some day Ray.:lol:

[empera]

looking nice man...hell if everyone has an evo..why not me ;) lol

[StealthTC]

x2 on ditching the caps but looks good overall

[Vypurr]

The red caps look bad in the pics, but in person I think they complete the look.

[cburwell]

I saw the car at work today. I didn't think it was yours/your wife's then I saw the TST plate liner and the TTT windshield sticker.

The wheels look good. I agree with the comments about having the caps blend in.

you work in the same place as me and the wife? my sti is allways there

[06evors]

I highly recomend purchasing a lower I/C pipe. It offers faster spool up and that is never a bad thing.

we have the upper here just waiting on a lower and the new fmic to put them in

[ray@turbotek]

i just redid the caps looks wayyyy better

http://usera.imagecave.com/revitup/Picture028.jpg

[06evors]

The upper is more for show but it will decrease the chance of a boost leak, which I/C are you going with?

agp turbo

[redline]

It looks great, just needs JDM tails and blacked out or IX headlights! Keep it up.

[Kgmdawg84]

pffft, all ray's cars are slow :) <3 you ray!

[cburwell]

you work in the same place as me and the wife? my sti is allways there

I work in 1301, I think you guys are 1300? I park on the front side of my building, but I sometimes see your car(s) when we are heading to lunch. I think I might have met you and scapegoat a year ago at the cafeteria in 1300.

[Charged SVTF]

Cars are sick. Anyone you think interested in sponsoring a 215whp monster focus :screwy: lol

Keep the updates coming!

[PaleDSM]

Pretty cool that you and your wife can enjoy the same hobby.
I wish you the best of luck in dealing with Fred Beans. In my experience they deserve the nickname Fraud Beans.

[ThePrimerSuspect]

paint them diamonds. oh, and by the way, you got me looking for an sti now. thanks:screwy:

[Vypurr]

pffft, all ray's cars are slow :) <3 you ray!

Wow! I forgot that you even registered here! lol

[Philly-Night-SR]

Sick, good work ray! Needs the VII JDM tails though :)

[ray@turbotek]

thanks for the comments guys , and jeff please stop thinking and go pick up an sti.

[jjm4life]

The upper is more for show but it will decrease the chance of a boost leak, which I/C are you going with?

not trying to thread highjack here, but you really noticed a difference with the licp?cause i didnt at all. i guess its a subjective mod, it def. didnt hurt performance.

back on topic: red looks great. get some evo7 or jdm mr tails, it would complete the look

[06evors]

There wasn't a difference in power but there certainly was a difference in spool time because the stock piece is so restrictive.

[turbotool]

paint them diamonds.


+1 and do the red pinstripe on the edge of the rim. trust me

[gsrboi80]

Nice Evo Rays Wife. Center caps do look better black. I have to paint the wheels on both of our cars

[ray@turbotek]

we just did one on effrains car and did not have an issue, i think they changed the sensor position :)

[06evors]

The stock intercooler is good for 11 second passes and is perfect for the stock turbo. It's more of an upgrade if you go bigger like a 50trim/gt30 or if you going to run big boost with meth/alky. Just my .02

True, but the stock doesn't have the baller bar and plate look like the aftermarket. lol.

big turbo next spring :)

[redwrxwagon02]

30r? that would be alot of fun!

[peteyturbo]

I gained about 2mph trap speed by changing the intercooler alone on my stock turbo'd evo..The stock IC is great for the stock turbo, but an aftermarket (quality) ic will still give you a small gain, and you will benifit from it even more when it gets very hot and especially in stop and go traffic or as your turbo system begins to move more air..Also if you run meth or alky a bigger IC becomes almost redundant because the meth/alky will lower the intake temps probably even more so then a bigger IC would..The stock intercooler is good for 11 second passes and is perfect for the stock turbo. It's more of an upgrade if you go bigger like a 50trim/gt30 or if you going to run big boost with meth/alky. Just my .02

well thanks to jeff aka primer suspect, we almost have everything done. everything that could have gone wrong with a clutch install went wrong but we fought till we got it done. all thats left at the moment is install the drive shaft, install axle nuts, but on tires, intercooler pipes, downpipes and give her fluids. going to finish her up tonight so i can then figure out wtf is up with my car:roll:

[ThePrimerSuspect]

what about me man? i gave you a much needed break that broke your concentration....:wink:

[gsrboi80]

The biggest PITA I had with the clutch was the damn throwout bearing. That thing is brutal to pop off somtimes.

What cams you going with

[ray@turbotek]

yeah that throw out bearing is a bitch going with 272's bc


clutch grabs like a sob, during the test run i noticed some clicking in the passenger side front so i came back and put the front wheels in the air, move the wheel up and down and it has alot of movement front to back.... so now im in the hunt for a wheel bearing. SOB

[peteyturbo]

That should teach you to use a torque wrench!! I can't believe the wheel bearing is bad, they are such a pita on mitsu's..Need to find someone to pres it out..yeah that throw out bearing is a bitch going with 272's bc

weeee more fun with the EVO! haha at least it cant cost that much.... or could it lol!?

[ray@turbotek]

actually i just went on evo m and apparently is a normal thing on these cars for this bearing to go, that was that click we kept hearing last year, it was just starting to go bad. they do not sell the bearing by itself from my research, looks like i have to do the entire assembly. i guess that explains the uneven tire wear on that side, since we had the car.

[ray@turbotek]

weeee more fun with the EVO! haha at least it cant cost that much.... or could it lol!?

159 to 180 ish

[Buster]

thats not that bad then, it could be alot worse.

[tjf]

i guess all of mitsu's wheel bearings suck ass, the ones on my g/f's 07 outlander were recalled we got them changed last week

[ray@turbotek]

found a new one which needs to be ordered from the dealer for 105.00

found a used one from a local for 100.00

gee i wonder which one i should go with :roll:

[ray@turbotek]

well i forgot a friend of mine worked at beans.

88.00 ftmfw :wink:

[Buster]

haha you got luuuuucky!

[Evo8kid]

i didnt know you needed a wheel bearing, i have two sitting here. If you want you can return the one you have and ill give you mine, if you want.

[Vypurr]

^ DAMNNN! That a sweet hookup!

But did he see it in time?

[ray@turbotek]

Hey Ray do I get to "break in" the clutch today?

no , and i feel like a total asshole and im telling the world about it:cry: i feel so bad!!!!!! i made my wife cry this morning because i flipped out because of the way she slipped the clutch in 1st gear while being stopped up a hill and getting ready to go. i totally have to remember that its going to take time for her to get used to it, :cry: i felt like such an asshole after that, she got out of the car and sat in the passenger seat. I was so upset i lost it over something stupid like that.

[Buster]

She knows youre sorry. Remember we had this discussion yesterday lol

[wishiwasturbod]

[Vypurr]

That would make him happy! She has to practice for the shootout! lol

[ray@turbotek]

[Buster]

Hes had issues before with the BPV leaking I think.

that was mine it drives, has a screwed up pressure plate

[pinacup7]

Ah man I just pulled that motor on the evo at my work. That throw out bearing is such a pain in the ass to pull off. I tried breakin all the fingers off of it and still nothing. Eventuallly just unbolted the pressur plate from the whole where the shift fork is. Other than that it was very easy

[06evors]

A broken TC is accompanied by a loud whine.
