Making progress. My buddy blew his engine to pieces and almost cracked the block in half. Has 4 holes in it and a nice crack runing down one hole side of it. Anyways he is going with a new long block from AMS or MAP. So he sold me his head and Tomei Poncams for $900. I found 2 bent valves so i removed those and the only damage to the head is 2 busted valve guides. $170 to fix (parts and labour) so no big deal. Debating if i want to replace those 2 valves with the oem ones from my head or say **** it and go aftermarket valves and springs. Think im going to go aftermarket even though the cams allow you to use oem valvetrain since its only a mild cam (intake = 260, Exhaust = 250). Anyways heres some pictures

Dont have a picture of the head but once i get the valves/springs and install them ill post up the pictures. Gotta bring the head to work tomorrow to give it a nice bath..lol.

Why don't we line up, warranty to warranty Shamu?

NOM NOM NOM I like COBRA's!!! /little kid mode

Seriously, love cobra's

lol, somehow i beat a KB Cobra the night my engine blew. We came back around to line up and the dude was like "wtf do you have in that car? i laughed when they paired me up against this "lancer" and then when the light went green you were like a bullet off the line and i couldnt keep up"..lol.

So an update. The engine is at the shop getting the measurements of the bore, cylinders and valve seats. Theres a few little nicks in the seats so i might have to go +1mm over with the valves. Parts list is as follows...

Engine:

Ball Bearing FP Black, 25psi WGA, hiflow oil feed line and ported
2.2L Stroker kit with a Manley 94mm crankshaft, Manley I-Beam Rods, Wiseco Pistons (86.5mm)
ACL Rod/Main Bearings
Tomei Cams
Supertech Valves (possibly +1mm overbore)
Supertech Dual Valve springs
Ported head
Ported Intake Manifold
Ported Exhaust Manifold
MAP Oil Cooler
ARP Main Studs
ARP Head studs

Drivetrain:

Jacks Transmission Stage 0 tcase build (pretty much just replaces the orings/seals and gives it a good cleaning
AWD Motorsports Lightweight Aluminum Driveshaft
Torque Solutions Differental/Driveshaft solid bushings

Other stuff:

AMS Lightweight Battery kit (since my oem battery is dead)
AMS AC Delete Kit (dont use it and i eventually want to get the car to 3000lbs)
AMS Lightweight Front Crossmember

The new goal with the car is to have 500hp, 3000lbs and have peak boost by 4000rpm.

Ok so i might as well update this. Took a break from the car to get my ZX6R back on the road. Heres a few pictures of before and after. (still needs the gas tank repainted and dyno tuned)

As for the Evo. The build is progressing slowly but will pick up this summer. I plan to have the engine built and back to me in October. I get out of the army on May 10th, got a job lined up that ill make alot more. In october i get $75k from the army. $38k goes into RRSP's, $10k is taxed which leaves me $26-27k to throw at the car and debt.

So i picked up a used tcase for $700 from a car that was written off and being parted out. MAPerformance is releasing a new T4 twin scroll kit for the EvoX and there is a group buy on it. So im going with a T4 twin scroll 6266 turbo. Which will get me ~600hp and im jumping to a 2.4 stroker/bore block + fully built head from MAP. So that will get me my 4000rpm peak boost that I want to hit (or quicker).

The car as it sits... (well as of a few weeks ago)
