re: Possible dead motor |

Well instead of making a new thread Ill just use this. Last weekend I went to a car show/dyno day at the shop who built my car, they were having a grand opening of their new shop. Well because Im their poster child in the area I got a free dyno.
Heres the shitty and confusing part. With my cutouts open I made 505hp. With them closed I made 491...Something was very wrong considering less then a month ago I had it dyno tuned with it pushin 600+ again on the dyno. The next day me and a buddy starting going through it, and started noticing all the ghetto rigging done to the car. I was in complete disbelief that spending 30k in mods/labor they hooked shit up like I took it to a backyard mechanic in dirty south miami. So I called the shop owner and started chewing him out, and he told me to make a list(a looong list) and bring the car to him monday and theyll correct everything. After finding out all the shit wrong my dream of owning a vette felt like a raping nightmare. I cant even sit in the car and enjoy it. So when it comes out of the shop Im putting her up for sale. Time to move onto something different, something more fun....like a 08 Mitsu EVO X MR ------------------- Motor Cars ![]() | |

Wow, that makes me red. The only time nigrigging is allowed is when you do it yourself. When you pay someone to do it, it should have a 'factory' appearance. Hope you get this shit shorted out.
Get another V8. Maybe you should honor your screen name. ------------------- C2D e6420 @ 3.0ghz 4GB DDR2 @ 936mhz HD4870 512MB | |

I've already tried talking to him about his other options, but he's pretty dead set on this Evo-X. I honestly think he should just go for it; after hearing what he plans on doing to it and what he plans on doing with it, I'm all for it.

Yeah Im buying the Evo partly cause the awd, will make auto-crossing so much more funner.
Secondly, its not going to be stock for long. Possibility of it becoming a stroker motor as well, with a gt35r turbo, and cams...along with every other bolton. I plan to make it aroujd a 550awhp car, daily driven as well. I thought about buying a slobra, but after watching my buddies 363hp evo8 rape one today on a car club cruise Im gonna have to pass. ------------------- Motor Cars ![]() | |

Sooo yeah, after getting an email back from the tranny company for the evo, im def not going that route. After talking with some buddies, Im more then likely and this is a 90% chance going to happen, going to pickup a 03/04 cobra and do a built 4r70 auto swap and slap a kenne bell 2.8 on it. Ill be looking at half of what I spent on the vette and making more power.
So there ya go Ice, getting something related to my forum name haha. ------------------- Motor Cars ![]() | |

Yeah but your going the lame route... rear or front mount turbo instead of the usual KB super charger setup.

I'm going to show you what he showed me. Before I was like 'Mann, *bleep* that.'
Then I watched these videos of a SVT Cobra with the same/similar setup and blew my load. Nate SVT Watch the boost gauge. ------------------- ![]() | |

re: Possible dead motor |

I'd much rather see you with a built domestic auto transmission than an import auto. I'm sure there is more long-term reliability in the domestics.
So a built 4R70W will work nicely. You still 90% sure you are getting that Cobra? How about you just get a Ford Lightning. They already come with automatics, they also get the bigger, badder 5.4 which with both built, I'm sure will take more abuse. Sure, it's not a car, and you'll be hauling around 1000 more pounds for nothing, but if you make it run 11's, you'll have a super respectable ride. ------------------- C2D e6420 @ 3.0ghz 4GB DDR2 @ 936mhz HD4870 512MB | |

The lightning 5.4 is only a 2v motor whereas the cobra is a 4v. Plus the bassani exhaust system on the cobra sounds better then anything for a lightning and having a car I won't have ppl calling me every weekend to help them move if I got the truck.
