You're doing a great job and sharing a great experience! Thank you! When you gonna make a first start of the engine, it will be very interesting to know the final budget of you rebuild) Are there any special recommendations about clearances from the camshaft maker? When I have changed timing chain on my ralliart I remember that according to the manual, clearances of the buckets on intanke side should be 0.2mm and on exhaust side 0.3mm, with max tolerance of 0.03mm. Or maybe I understood you incorrectly?
Thanks for the comment and I will consider making an expenses video. There is a factory clearance window, its not a set clearance. It needs to be within a window which these are
I have an 2011 Evo and I bought it brand new and it only has 50K on the odometer. The only mods I have are an Ohlins suspension and an Agency cold-air intake. I do not want to break the engine apart because I want to keep it as stock as possible but I would like to generate the kind of horsepower that the FQ-400 generates and would love to know your opinion on how best to obtain that from a strictly bolt-on perspective. Great video and thanks for sharing!
I wondered if its worth considering getting your tubular manifold ceramic coated? Zircotech do a good product/service. Trust me those things get pretty hot! Maybe worth considering given your power goals 🤔
Thats definitely a good idea. I was thinking of fabricating a heat sheild. I have a second sleeved 4b11t engine im working on going to town on but thats for a future build
did you reuse the cam cap bolts? The OEM ones are Torque to yield and are one time use. Swapping to some Grade 10 bolts is more than enought. ARPs are over kill.
I heard from the UK's leading evo builder that upgrading the bolts requires a Line Hone, maybe I should have installed new oem ones though. Its running fine but will need to redo cam clearances as i think i got them wrong
I hear you on the the line hone. Main cap for sure if you swap to ARP main. Studs. Not sure if the cams journals would distort amount since they are torqued so much lower.
@@rowanlewisuk indigo gt set my car up which is similar to yours but has dodson 500 clutch packs. Stock should hold 400lbft - your build will produce more than that so will need the torque holding off low down. Mine uses mhi 18k - I wanted more low down grunt over top end. Looking forward to seeing how yours runs.
@@ianjohnson4541 nice, a guy called az in the club had a similar build and he managed 540bhp with a wastegate spring that was too soft. He was around 410 torque so i think my idea of getting it revving works on paper but only one way to find out 😁
hello, been watching your videos for a few weeks now. just bought an evo x sst today and unfortuently on my drive home the service light came on. it wont select 2, 4, 6 gear. any ideas. hoping maybe just a sensor?

Great video rowan that evo is going to be an animal 👌
I hope so!

Excellent job 👍

Decat, 3 port boost controller and a remap is all you need for 400bhp
@@rowanlewisuk Many thanks! Enjoy your Evo!
So to summarise - you need spark plug Steve’s rag to remove broken bolts👍😂
The magic rag

Who's mapping the car for you when its running again? Looking forward to seeing what numbers it puts out.
Im not decided on a mapper, had a good experience with Simon last time but will need a dyno map the torque curve around the clutches torque limit

Can't wait to see what the outcome of all this is. I will be using your videos as a guide for my own 600hp beast so thank you
Good stuff 👍
Awesome vid
Hi mate - when you getting the evo x mapped? I'm interested to see how it gets on in terms of numbers.

Thanks for watching, Sounds like shift fork magnet failure
Which head gasket did you use ?
glad u didnt sell the evo
