Already deleted a/c so that I could put the radiator up where the condenser went.
looks good so far, how much power are you aiming for?
pic of my evo before i pulled it apart for a full rebuild
a few weeks ago
now
is that an evo 3? Hard to tell from the pics.
I'm not sure yet. I'd like to be north of 525 on 92 octane unleaded and somewhere in the low 700 range on boost alone with a good fuel like VP Q16 or C16.
We'll see what actually happens though!

Wow, I thought oil filter was easy to get at in my 03 4-banger tracker... I guess an inline engine in a full size truck engine bay leaves lots of room! I still change my filter from the top but not that easy.

I see a lot of money under that hood.

1986 Mercury Capri with a 2.3L OHC engine that I have modified. This is an old picture taken shortly after the conversion. It had a horrible 1 barrel feedback carb on it and a computer system that was an absolute disaster. It now has a Holley/Weber/Motorcraft 5200 2 barrel carb and a Duraspark/MSD ignition on it. Runs a heck of a lot better now.

I liked this thread, so I decided to breathe some life back into it.
Here's the Camry Hybrid's engine room:
And here's the one item in there that you don't see in conventional cars, the inverter unit.
All the internet mythology aside,
the only thing that's really different about
working with this car is that you
don't mess with the orange things --
especially if the car is ON.
I assume the reason is fairly obvious...
Now, can any of you see what TWO things
that are almost always under the hood
of a modern conventional car are
missing from this one?

A battery and... ?
And a starter.
Here's my '79 Coupe Deville at a recent car show. Currently with 9,000+ miles. Engine is a 425 c.i., last of the big block Caddy engines.
I didn't know you owned a gas station...
That's one clean Caddy, Rumble! Nice.
