Sounds like another way to overcomplicate an already complicated setup. Sometimes less is more. Pre-turbo water injection, I think anybody that's done it can agree, isn't needed for your 11 second goal. Seems more like a bandaid fix for running out of intercooler.

So It's been awhile.
Couple things I've been up to.
I've adapted the 3kgt rear trailing arms to my car for over all 2" wider track width, internal drum ebrakes and larger rear rotors. (I am still looking for 2g 3kgt OR EVO 8/9 rear calipers)
Machine work:

Almost assembled powdercoated almost everything:

All assembled and tested now driving around.
It may be placebo effect, but a mix of the wider track new carrier bearings, rear toe delete and solid subframe bushings, but sure feels like this car turns 9000x gooder.

I also was able to find a 100mm 6bolt (2.4L) crank for my motor that died years ago. I found out it was the topline oilpump that shat the bed.

So I began tearing into the motor, have the head apart for porting and upgrades.

I took the motor to a friend whos done his fair share of motor builds on these cars, and we knocked out the bottom end in an afternoon. Plastigauge came out great, and cleaned up any imperfections.

While waiting on the head to be ported, I believe I have found a way to use the 4piston 3kgt front brakes without brackets and matching the rear track width.
I will update once complete.

Goal is to have the car tested and be competitive in autocross and 11.5 bracket at this years shootout!

That is some seriously awesome work, Mike. She's looking great!

Sorry to hear your Topline pump failed on you frown It does make me glad I decided to sell one of my kidneys to get an OEM front cover when I built my engine. What did you decide on for the new build?

I am going to re-use an OEM pump from a motor I have with around 130k on it.


I actually remember the distinct sound it was making at idle. It was a "Woo Wooo Wooo" sound, kind of similar to wind blowing through a tunnel/tube.
Someone told me it was how they cut the gears differently on the topline unit that made that sound, so I completely ignored it. grr

I doubt it, especially with the balance shafts removed.[

Here is the carnage for those interested.
I actually got pissed off however many years it was, and stuffed the engine in a corner.
It wasn't until this winter that I actually cracked it all open.

Looks like this guy had the SAME wear marks on his parts:

Ouch! OEM is the only way to go on the pump, seen it time and time again.

Make sure to toss in straight cut gears with the BSE.
