Well my forge engine that i built is now in the Evo, happy days so far no leaks and running sweet just past 100 miles so need to do first oil change, only 400 miles to go before remap but already feeling more responsive only fault is im getting vibration when coming onto boost which i have got to work out, its either exhaust needs realigning or its cause i have got rid of the balance shafts. Has anyone taken out there balance shafts and noticed vibration? Anyway heres some pics one of engine build and other of fitting it :)

great pictures :)
always good idea for backing up the history :)


i removed balance shafts from my old evo and my current evo doesnt have any neither and although i might say the engine is noisey i wouldnt say there was any vibrations
