--------------------------------------------------

From the beginning:
Well I had a Ripp stage 2 running 8-9psi with the methobal kit. Reflash to raise the rev, speed gov, and fuel scaler to work STI 566cc pink injectors controlled with AEM FIC. RIPP mods header jet coated to 3" back custom SS exhaust to a Greddy TiC muffler. Greddy type s bov, ngk iridium one step colder plugs, k&n filter, innovative lc1 wideband.

Well had some back timing or heat issued and busted the edged off a piston and ruin 2 plugs and sure my heads look like shit. Also messages up a lifter making the engine tick. I'm sure if I replace the lifter no one could ever tell it happened and just sell the car.

Ahh - sorry about the misread. I thought you were referring to the 4B11 as the "crappy" motor :)

At least this time you're paying heed to the advice and actually building the motor up correctly. Kudos for sharing all the info about the anterior parts required for a proper build with the community. But just remember, just because you have a built motor, doesn't mean you're safe. You still have engine management and proper transmission / suspension buildup to think about. Nothing ends with just a stronger engine ;)

oh man tom I can't fucking wait...............................I will hopefully be following suit in not too distant of a future.
and of course I'd love an Evo X, but I still don't think it's as cool as the eclipse - style-wise, sex-appeal if nothing else. I also don't like anything like paddle shifting or high-tech transmissions - guess I'm old school. I saw on pinks lately they talk about launching off the line and they say: "I released the button and took off..." and I'm like - "YOU RELEASED A BUTTON?!?!" wow that is lame to me. as far as an Evo, I just don't see a sedan as intimidating in any way. but hey, that's me. just some dumbass from Oklahoma, so who cares.

Fuck an Evo, I'm going for import tuner cover, no ones seen a nasty eclipse in 10 years and I'm going to give it to them. I've done every fucking thing possible to make this motor/car over the top. Ever single part of this motor is friction coated, powered coated or painted. Silver block, silver heads, BOTH valve covers yellow, silver coated headers, polished intake for now, may powder the intake manifold silver, painted fuel rail and break calipers yellow and looking to have a silver carbon fiber engine cover made. Intake Spacers, NGK plugs, eiback sway bars. Stock y and mid pipe with a Greddy Evo2 muffler for now.

That's all stage one. Hopefully that will all take place by the end of the month and back together. After that i guess I'll be going PSI/RIPP SDS kit again at 20 psi and a front mount. Tial or synchronic BOV, larger STI injectors, walbro pump, K&N filter, and tactrix reflash.

Stage 3 is just 6 piston yellow brembos. I want my car to look stock as possible buy a monster under the hood

Motor yes, trans and suspension no...clutch and LSD will be later and I have lowering springs. That's all I really plan on those. This isn't a race car...but I do want a beast that I can beat up on some higher end tuners and euros. I hope to be the biggest understatement on the streets and see jaws drop.

And thank you guys who are following the build. For the help and encourgment. As most know I've had a few big builds while part of this community and have gotten a lot of shit because I never got either one fully done(eventough neather my fault). A lot of ass holes on here and ill be the first to admit to being one at times as well. But thanks to you guys on here for everythibg.
