Evo 8 FULL RESTORATION and 800HP Build Is Just Too Clean To Drive

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It's not every day you find a RARE 2003 Lancer Evolution with less than 50,000 miles on it. Even less likely in the color Lightning Yellow, and even more unlikely than that, one that hasn't been thrashed and needs a new transfer case. But that's precisely what happened when our producer Jarred decided it was Evo'clock and was ready to give in to the HDWerks process.
In Part 1 of this episode, Pete takes us through the entire process of restoring, building, and making this 2003 Lightning Yellow Lancer Evolution 8road ready. That includes sourcing the car from the get-go to inspection, teardown, paint restoration, parts lists, fabrication, welding, mounting, cryo blasting, testing, replacing, and rewiring every inch of this cult classic. By the time Pete was done, one thing was for sure. This car is just too damn clean to drive... BUT WE GONNA DO IT ANYWAY.
You'll also see Pete teaming up with the renowned Chris Carbee to tune this 800hp capable beast at @SFL_Dyno. You can check out his Instagram here: / slowpoke_r8
Included in this build as usual is a treasure trove of parts from companies like Artec (Manifold), Haltech (Elite 1500), as well as Platinum Racing Products (Billet Rocker Cover), who we have a discount code for here: bit.ly/HDWERKSXPRP)

    Thank you so much. That’s exactly What we wanted to show. No one talks about the bs and struggle of car building. It’s just the flash and glam and look at me. The real builders have no apprehension to show the whole story. Not just the fluff. Thanks for your support. Share share share.

    I remember building my Evo 8 for 2 months, waiting for the Ams to send me the bottom end of my 2.3L and within in 2 days the oil pump failed and thru the crankshaft. If I'm not mistaken Chris knows the guy Brandon from Jacksonville who helped me out with the build

    Great video guys! I had a similar situation where I bought a used evo 8 with a "built" motor, spent money on parts and fab work, waited months to finish it all only to end up with a spun rod bearing and scored cylinder walls. Had to start fresh with a new motor, but now everything is done short of body work and interior (working on that at the moment). Keep at it though, it'll be worth it in the end!

    When converting the throttle body over to the skunkworks TB if you deleted the IAC or still running the factory IAC unit wirh the Haltech? Also, when relocating the catchcan set up super low does that create any vacuum pull or flow issues?

  • @hdwerks

    10 ай бұрын

    We still use the Iac no problem. We never delete the Iac. Never had any issues down low like that. We sometimes use a trans mounted can with the same success.

  • @hdwerks

    @hdwerks

    5 ай бұрын

    Hey there. Yeah. We love the Artec product for many reasons but we love it for the simplicity and spool. Sometimes there’s a lot lost with tubular style manifolds. This model i would say is great for street + builds. They also make a bigger vband for larger frame turbos which flows even more. My favorite offering is the stock frame twin scroll manifold and complimentary 02 housing / 3.5 downpipe. Makena huge difference on stock frame turbos and keeps the classic evo tone. Grab them off PRP with our discount code for now. We will Offer them in the future on our site. -p

    Jjst really depends on the situation. Most cars need an overall restore top to bottom. We take them all the way apart and restore like oem. That’s the best results. If the car is good we can pick and choose. A la carte it. That’s usually not the situation tho.
