난이도 & 준비물

증상

Been in the garage for 9 months. Looks like a fking barn find. If I'd have said that's what it was and put in to an auction looking like this I'd have probably got twice what it's actually worth......

Thanks for the replies. I don't like car covers, I'd rather have the dust just lie on the car and blast it off. There's enough room in the garage to not have to touch the car when I'm in there, and with covers the car always has to be clean before you use them, otherwise they can scratch, The garage is on the ground floor ( obviously ) of a town house I've been refurbishing, the Evo lives in front of the space that used to be the utility room. I knocked that down to have a bigger garage ( as well as lifting the kitchen and dining room floors to make headroom for a ramp, there are three cars living in what is essentially a two car garage ), and I do a lot of work like cutting tiles and timber behind the Evo if the weather's bad, hence the clip of it. That's been going on for 4 years now, as bad as it looks sometimes, the paintwork on the Evo hasn't noticeably suffered.Back to the car. It was indeed a bit of a mare to wire it, probably a lot more info out there about it now, but at the time, for me anyway, it was hard work. There are only 10 additional wires to control the Mivec, and the 9 ECU will run an 8 engine with the Mivec disconnected, so I wasn't entirely without the car during the final stages, but it dragged on for a while. Then, when I did get it connected, we had problems mapping it, and it was suggested that the Mivec inlet pulley wasn't functioning correctly, so another headache.I tried another pulley without any difference and worked my way back through all the stuff that had been modified without getting anywhere. Out of desperation, I changed the ( aftermarket ) boost solenoid, and the first time I drove it afterwards, when it came on boost it nearly threw me out of the rear screen. Because the map wasn't right for a faulty solenoid I briefly saw 2.2 bar on the gauge! Other than the 2nd hand Evo 9 turbo stting itself 3 years ago on a blast around Scotland, it's been dead reliable. I can't blame the turbo, it was of unknown provenance and mileage, an
