After break a lot of gearboxes i found a gearwheelbuilder who makes gears for private people.

A lot of tests and calculations have then brought these prototypes...

 

 

 

 

All build together and drive on the 1/4mile / Streetrace and German Autobahn without problems (at that time)

Here are two smal videos from the car

Well, anyone one else got woody?

 

100-200 in 3. something....... ffs.

after few months and a lot of blown headgaskets i have broken one sparkplugceramik and that smashed one exhaust valve also.

 

 

i have fixed the burned valve seat and have installing a new valve

 

 

and i have machining the head for using O-rings. was the first test and hope the Headgasket issures are go.

 

 

Head was ready. after i check the shortblock i found another problem. All four crower i-beams are bent :-)

time for a set of Pauters

 

 

and ready

What headgasket do you use now Matthias?

[Matthias]

i have test a lot of MLS. Hks felpro cometic and a lot of more. also i drive a evo 9 Headgasket. are good for 3bar boost. at the moment i drive oem mls fake (nippon racing) with o-rings in head. Never have any Headgasket issure :-)

Rearaxle build.

[Matthias]

i put the rearaxle 6-7times in and aut before all was sitting in the right position:-)

 

frontaxles and hubs are only a simple swap

[Evo-00x]

So does this mean you don't have the EVO 2 anymore?

[Matthias]

No. I have still the evo because without engine and drivetrain.

[Evo-00x]

Ah OK will it be on the road again?

Im not sure if you know, but the firewall and strut tops of this shape car flexes and cracks in the corner of the firewall when you have a powerful engine.

You could weld in the evo strut tower and firewall gussetts (braces) to help with strengthening the engine bay, or you can fit fender bars: http://www.maxaudio....UR-FD3-819W.jpg , plus a good strut top brace to help prevent too much flexing in the front. Here in Australia, all of our CC Lancer coupes, sedands, wagons and GSR Lancers get cracked firewalls with a powerful engine if there is no strengthening done to reduce flexing.

[Matthias]

yes i know;-)

 

here are my new rear ends, the original was bent :-D

 

 

 

build new all brakelines steering and fuellines

 

 

and fitted the new shortened Propshaft

 

[croket]

My god i love this thing , good work mate

X 2. 

[Matthias]

And another round of build pictures... :-)

 

Before i put the engine into the enginebay i demount the engine for inspection.

The engine have seen 8000km of hard street/hispeed Autobahn/drag with 9000rpm+ in my evo.

Here you can good see my modify oil pick up

 

 

Looks good.no bent rods like crover...haha

 

 

Bearings and OEM 88mm Crank looks good

 

 

Ceck the oilpump and put all together

 

 

here you can see my selfmade oil baffle and 6.8liter oilpan.

 

 

Head screw up

 

 

All was cleaned and ready to put together

 

 

ready for final install in the engine

 

 

put the engine in the car with a dummy gearbox (wait at the moment for a new clutch)

and without camshafts(also wait for a new set :-) )
