Will do!

 

Yay! 5 posts are up so now I can post pics!:yay:

 

Ordered some OEM window visors and also some tranny fluid. Went with the Red Line cocktail (1qt of MT-90 and 2qts of MTL).

 

So I couldnt get my tune done today. Had a check engine light that I thought was from not having a cat but it turned out to be P0017 which is crank and cam position correlation bank 1 sensor B. Had him clear the codes out and hasnt come back yet. Im up to 35 miles on it and still no codes.

Any ideas on how long it should take to come back if it ever does? I did some research and checked the obvious things (sensors/wiring/loose chain) and everything looked good.

Also found out that I have ID1000cc injectors, AMS downpipe as well as some sort of Kelford cam. Going to research and find out how to identify them.

Visors also came it today

 

I believe the kelfords have their identification laser engraved on the end of them

 

I checked the ends and didnt see anything but then again its hard to see when the cams are still installed.

 

So the P0017 light did come back on at around 50 miles. I ended up swapping the cam sensors around. The exhaust sensor did have a bit of build up on it when I removed it from the motor so I cleaned that off and reinstalled both.

Since doing that I have put around 250 miles on the motor and the code has not came back yet. I did call SpeedFactory and get another tune setup for next Thursday at 1pm. Hoping that everything is good. I would like to get to arrive 500 miles before the tune just to make sure that I don't have any issues and lose my deposit again lol. I did order one of those Bluetooth OBD2 readers (actually arrives today) so that I can check the codes whenever instead of running to Autozone and Oreillys to borrow theirs.

Yesterday I spent time installing the OEM visors. Install went pretty smoothly.

I also did pick up a new camera this past weekend. I went with the Canon Rebel T5i so I will be having a photoshoot at some point to test it out. Planning on detailing the car this weekend since its pretty dirty.

 

Nice looking car! I too own an Octane Blue Evo. One of my favorite colors.

 

Thanks! I love it too! I didnt see very many of them around in Octane Blue which was why I hopped on this one. Whenever I see another evo driving around its usually black or white.

if you have the valve cover off again and have a magnetic dial indicator you could just manually rotate the engine over while measuring a lobe from each side. The lift should be able to identify the cam set.

Ill have to look into this next time I think about pulling the valve cover again.I did go ahead and order a new OEM valve cover gasket just to be safe.

Washed and waxed her today to get ready for a car show tomorrow.

 

Well...had my tune today. Didnt go as planned. I was able to get the car on the rollers but it just wasnt making the power it should be. He pulled up the dyno sheet of another EVO X with basic bolt ons to compare and there was a big difference. My tuner suspects that there may be boost leaks. This would also explain why my idle still fluctuates. Going to be building a boost leak tester this weekend and see what I can find. :wallbash:

 

Picked up some Rally Armor flaps!

 

If anyone has Instagram feel free to follow me @Team_CGP


Did a few minor things to the EVO over the past couple weeks.

Rally Armor flaps installed

LED upgrade on the foglights: (New on the left and old on the right)

LED reverse light upgrade: (New on the left and old on the right)

Debadged

Took this at sunrise with Mt. Rainier in the background

 

Well got some parts ordered up for the EVO. Should be here this weekend hopefully so I can take advantage of the extended holiday weekend.

Just some pics I snapped last weekend:

 

Love that color

 

Did some work on the EVO this past long weekend. Picked up a set of Depo projector headlights so I could do a HID retrofit. Ordered a set of EVOx-R projectors and a Morimoto HID kit. While I had the headlights open I went ahead and blacked them out. Came out really nice!

While I had the bumper off I decided to black out the Mitsubishi logo and paint my intercooler (light coat of radiator paint). Really like the blacked out look. Planning on removing my front plate and filling the holes fairly soon.

Let me know what you guys think!

Also I am looking for a set of fog lights but mostly just the drivers side. Mine has 2 broken mounts on it so its kind of flopping around lol. Let me know what you have!

 

Added some 20mm wheel spacers

Snapped a couple pics (also deleted the front plate and painted the fog trim pieces)

 

Did some more work on the EVO over the last couple weeks. Installed Hella Super Tones, Torque Solutions diff bushings and rear diff mount. While I was under there I decided to do the transfer case and diff fluid at the same time. Also replaced my fog lights LEDs because for some reason one of the other ones I bought stopped working.

I would add more info and take pics of the install but it doesnt really seem like anyone reads this anyways

 

nice

 

Have you had any problems with your reverse LED's ? Also did you install a load resistor ?
