Building a Mitsubishi Evo | Kiggly Racing Springs & Retainers Install!

[@ELROYJETSWAG]

Ive built plenty cars in my home garage including 3 evos just like this and theyre all still running tops. Just torque everything to spec, good tune and if the engine didnt overheat ya aint gotta resurface it. My father owns a machine shop we check heads and blocks everyday its rare that they warp unless they overheated, its just a customer preference which most do since its apart but not 100% needed. That motor will make a reliable 500 with what ya got, powerband is up top so wont be to much stress on the engine. Cant wait ta see it rippin!

[@ill_sti4978]

I love how you do this out side your house no garage. doing the same with my evo man car is coming out bad ass!

[@erikyanez6531]

You build your car your own way with the budget you have and we make the best of the situation with ours cars. I’m building my evo x currently in my garage.

[@Ant-pu8cg]

Watching your content made me restore my Evo! Got it back to a running state, sent it to get repainted, got some TEs, next focus is some interior work. You, Devin, and Chris motivated me into restoring my Evo 8! Good lucky on your journey! Appreciate the process bc that’s the best part!

[@MiguelDsm]

Dude awesome! Based of your profile pic it looks amazing!

You have an IG to follow?

The fact you used an umbrella to finish what you could do kudos to you, bro. That's dedication 👏

My ocd is going through the roof with you guys building that motor outside in the rain lol.

[@MiguelDsm]

Gotta work with what you got lol

[@josepheaston551]

You’re absolutely right. Building a car yourself and taking your time definitely builds a bond. I did with my dsm and I couldn’t imagine not having it

[@GhostDigital2k]

I can't wait for the EVO to be done. Good video. By the way I ordered some merch from your site. The VR4 and the eclipse stickers.

[@MiguelDsm]

In due time 🙏🏼 Also, thanks for the support!

Awesome work 💯 I'm the same way my build is slowly going.

I wish I had that kind of motivation. Winter has me in a really bad head space.

[@MiguelDsm]

Stay up man. It’s temporary 🙏🏼 Always free to talk just shoot me a dm

[@DevonatSTM]

Love to see the progress. Reach out if you need anything!

[@MiguelDsm]

Appreciate your help always man 🙏🏼

[@_Machine631_]

you dont need to wear gloves when handling 625's. the L19's are the ones that dont like oily residue and contaminents. 12:20 if you dont give that puppers head scritches pronto!!! haha. And these are the builds that are the best. where you have a smaller budget but you learn more. im loving the progress.

[@MiguelDsm]

Gotcha. Good to mention just in case someone ends up with the L19s. Thanks or sticking along!

[@mikeydejon2148]

Keep pushing. I love this car looks great 👍

[@cesaralvarez6869]

You can’t use the cams on your eclipse ?

[@MiguelDsm]

They’re Evo 8 cams and would leave the car not running

[@정민-x7r]

Good job good job 👏😎

[@Ivn_IX]

Do some rear tail lights for the evo. Some like the gtr rings would be dope.

In the works 🤙🏼

Progress 💯

[@MiguelDsm]

Slow and steady wins the race

[@Cleanhvacinstalls]

Use aluminum brightener let it sit for a few minutes and rinse with water it will make aluminum look new, if you use a brush it will make the results better

[@MiguelDsm]

Thank you!

[@kristjancebulj8162]

Hey man, big fan - you're a great inspiration to us eclipse owners so please don't take this the wrong way, but I feel like you could/should have done more while you were at it... I undestand budget, I'm dealing with the same situation as I write this, but it costs nothing to measure clearances and stuff when you are putting an engine together AND in the end it might even save you money. I hope you guys at least checked how the valves seal off-camera. That's just my 2 cents. Good luck with the build, great shots as always🫡🔥

[@marlonswaby8824]

First clean the head with purple power degreaser then with Napa Aluminum brightener that works for me.

[@MiguelDsm]

Thanks!

[@josephnorman8657]

Try som alumi bright it works well

[@MiguelDsm]

Is it paint? I’ll look into it

[@josephnorman8657]

No its a cleaner you spray it on and let it sit and it deep cleans it and gives the aluminum a brighter look

[@marlonswaby8824]

@@MiguelDsm No it's not paint just spray it on scrub a little if you want to and wash it off with water.

[@cserrano-gi2if]

Those aren’t 625ca or l19 which are the ones you have to wear gloves with. Those are both silver almost look like stainless steel. The ones you installed are black which are probably arp2000s

[@mahreeohhhh]

Link for the LED lights vid?

[@Wickd_lX]

Aluminum brighter to clean the head 👌🏾

The worst part is the cost of what a new motor is gonna cost if you throw a rod pushing the limits of the stock motor 😢😢 but good content man! Keep it coming.

[@MrPrince2289]

This comment 100% he thinks the machine work is expensive now. If that motor lets go, it's gonna be 3 to 4x as much. I understand he doesn't have the money. Maybe just keep saving,do it once and do it right. Hope it works out for the best for him. I'm not trying to seem negative, I just know from this happening to me.

[@pFbSpecV]

@@MrPrince2289 yea I tried saying it in different ways on his other videos cuz I do like Miguel and he does help me sell my grounding kits so I for sure don’t mean to be negative also but dang….. these motors aren’t cheap when you completely need a block to rebuild lol

[@MrPrince2289]

@pFbSpecV yeah sometimes you just gotta learn from experience. I got the same advice I'm giving now and I did the same thing he did. Said I don't have enough money, I'll do this and that and it should be okay. We all think "yeah it won't happen to me I'll be okay" then it happens. Funny thing is might pull when my engine let go I had a flashback of everything everyone was tell me, then I came back to reality lol

[@lespaulguitarist92]

@@pFbSpecV miguel’s evo will be safe with a tune that limits its true potential.. but the results is: miguel’s evo will be slow for the turbo and upgrades he has because of that. Dealing with a laggy turbo that doesn’t make the HP to compensate for the lagginess.

[@ELROYJETSWAG]

@@MrPrince2289 my 6466 2.0 still running 3 years later 515hp stock bottom end built head tuned by Raif RRT same set up as miguel just not bs fab manifold, granted it aint the fastest but it runs great an pulls hard. If the bottom end was solid from the start itll be all good. gotta build what yer budget allows pal

DONT SAND THAT DECK! NO!

[@ELROYJETSWAG]

its 400 grit do you not pay attention? you can sand it for a year straight it wont make a difference. That grit is used to prep cars before laying basecoat, it will leave a smooth finish with no gouging or gashing
