any updates?

[Silverdub]

Car is ruuning good! I am waiting for a tune refresh and email from local dyno for an appointment. I just received these today as well.







Pics of the catch can installed as soon as i put it on. I am also shopping around for new pistons, clutch/flywheel combo, injectors and fuel pump

Can't wait to see numbers, how
Much you going to charge me for my kit? LOL

[Silverdub]

Finally! Instructions are junk but this is a pretty easy install even for the usual dummy...






And while in the garage, i shimmed the hood and removed the ruber seal that is right by the wipers

Why did you shim the hood and remove the weather stripping? I did that to my VR-4 when I was younger because I thought it would improve engine cooling but I've come to the conclusion that it actually has the opposite effect. It's a great way to get cool air to an intake in the back of the engine bay (or to cool the fuel in a carb), but that's not applicable here. The air flowing into the back of the bay causes the low pressure zone there to increase closer to ambient pressure. Thus, the pressure differential (& airflow) across the radiator has been reduced. All that said, I never fixed this on my VR-4, and it's been fine, but I don't put that car on a road course or anything that might really tax the cooling system.

Here's a VR4 (not mine) with some string on the back of the hood to show the induction effect.

Finally, I've seen a lot of Mitsubishi pick-up tubes over the years, so this was the most interesting picture in the thread to me:



I'm shocked to see a lack of bell mouth (to reduce turbulence and improve flow) or a screen to keep big chunks out of the oil pump.

Here's what they look like on 20 year old Mitsus.



Looking forward to your thoughts. Congrats again!

The scrren is in the housing with the 2 bolts i believe, should of checked whilw i was in there. Thanks for the info and the vid! Soon enough i ll get a blanket and probably reflectivd tape for the tubing right by the turbo

amazing work!

I've already said it once in this thread, but I'll say it again now that the beast rumbles: the amount of talent on display here is absolutely phenomenal. If you ever swing all the way down the coast to Virginia, look me up- this car gets you a beer :happy0180:

I've got huge respect for your work, keep it up and I'll try to help (at least with my opinion, I already installed injectors and two fuel pumps wink,wink ) whenever issues come along.

On base tune using a virtual dyno and datalogging with ecutek. At 5psi.... Cranking it up this week!
