If you need to evac the fuel tank, it would be easier to just remove the rear seat, remove the fuel pump assembly and run a tube into the tank and into a gas can and siphon that way or use a hand...
Tricky since the issue doesn't occur when in vacuum. If it happened when boosting, I would agree to check the plugs for fouling and gap.
One more question for you, how much do you guys typically charge to tune an EVO 8? Â*The set up I would have is:
Stock unmodified ECU
Kelford 8-TX272 cams
1000CC low impedance fuel injectors...
I thought yousaid you had a 2008 EVO MR!Â* lol sorry about that :)
Yes then the 8-TX272 cam is the correct choice for you. Stock springs will be fine and we can go up on the limit a little bit...
I thought you had a 2008 EVO MR? If so then the 214 designated cams are what apply to your model car.
The TX line is for the CT9A 2003 to 2006 model years with a different intake cam for MIVEC...
The Kelford 214-B is a 270 262 duration camset with 11.0mm and 10.0mm lift respectively. I would do the upgraded springs with these cams.
They do make a 214-C which is their 278 272 duration with...
Hi everyone, I am about to start modding my engine on my EVO 8 MR. I am going to install a 3" down pipe , high flow cat, and cat back. I also want to install Kelford 272's for my Cams and then get it...
How much did the coil packs run you? They seem to be pricey (200$) from what I can find.
Thanks :)
Hey RRE guys, been a while. I moved far away and cant make it in for drivetrain fluid change, so going to do it in my garage here at home. Do you guys recommend the following for my 6 speed EVO 8 MR:...
Did you find out what that noise was?
Anybody know how much a job like that would cost? To have the starter replaced?
I got lucky, mine was like that when I purchased the car from a dealer in NorCal. They wouldn't fix it, so when I got back to SoCal, Huntington Beach fixed it under warranty. That was at 48,000 miles...
Nope, stock tune. Can a boost leak cause it to boost that high on full throttle yet just blow air into the motor with nothing happening? IE, the air is blasting out a tiny hole somewhere?
I was driving today on the freeway and when I mashed the accelerator to the floor my turbo hit peak boost of 24PSI as normal but the car just stayed at 80MPH. When I let go of the accelerator and...
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the input. Thermostat was getting stuck open, was time to replace it.
If anyone experiences a similar issue, the fix I would recommend starting with would be the...
I cleaned the MAF, changed the PCV valve, and checked for leaks (coolant leaks) none. I figured it was a boost leak if anything but then thought how would that affect the engine temp meter in the...
It wont. Cause there is nothing to report as the ECU doesn't detect anything.
[/quote]Ok cool beans. Looks like I am coming out of the pocket for a diagnostic then. The fact that the check engine...
Maybe I can pick up a scanner for less then 100$. Will an ODB2 scanner tell me anything even without the check engine light on?
I just moved up north :( I just left SFV. I prefer to post here because I am from SoCAL.
I figured whatever is causing this is happening electrically and causing an error code to be thrown at the ECU and in return, odd things happen. I don't have a data logger or ODB reader. :(
Nope, only mods are 3 inch CAT back, and coil overs. Car was sitting for 1 month, fixed coil over and reinstalled stock catalytic and down pipe and removed CEL fix. But car is stock tuned, never been...
Hey man, can you read my posting and let me know if you have the same symptoms?

Sorry, this is a re-posting because I put it in the wrong section of the forum.
I have a weird issue with my EVO.
1.) Start it up, idle and everything else is fine, no C.E.L. , no knocking,...
