MBK-8015HD - 215mm Mitsubishi - Clutch Install, Yet Another



I am not shy of a clutch change, its a long job but fairly straight forward.
The HD Exedy that is sold is basically the same OEM clutch with an upgraded pressure plate.
I should have looked more closely, but I didn't. It uses the same clutch disc.






Which I thought was strange considering the money you pay.

What it takes to make a 9second All Motor Civic - Years & $$$


Met this guy through the love of cars, he is also a home DIY pro. Self taught himself everything because shops couldn't be trusted.
Years later, he is just about done on the build.
I only caught glimpses of it in its final days. If only I could have seen it progress.


















New Coils - Why Not Use the Toyota Echo Ones :)



Okay. After having some spark blow out issues, I decided its time to address the coil packs.
The old coil packs, meh. So yeh. Here we are, after two weeks and a couple hundred dollars I ended up with some Echo coil packs made by Denso. I got the coil packs then it was trying to find the loom. Pain in the bum, but its done.






The idea came from the Evo boys, they have been using the Echo coil packs for awhile.









Yellow, IGF isn't need.
12V, GND & Trigger



















I had to modified the nose and muck around with the spring to make it work. The brass bushing also needed to be modified.

3" Dump + TD04 + Gate - RColt Loves Sum Boost
















Prints can be found here:
http://leklawbleu.smugmug.com/

The first home brew forged build v2 hit the road before Christmas. It ran well for 600km until some intermittent firing issues occurred.
Funny enough it was a bad ground due to the powder coated rocker cover.  The coil-pack wasn't earthing out.
v1 didn't last long due to shrapnel destroying the oil pump. Best guess is one of the oil galleries were clogged and let go after a couple hundred km. Contaminating the build and destroying the pump.

New bearings and she is back on the road.
Washing and bathed and cleaned everything once again.

It wasn't so long ago we were creating the gate for my ram horn style manifold.
