Default Evo Project update... *PICS*

Hey guys,
Ive had my evo for about a week and a half now and decided to post a update on it. I bought the car pretty cheap and picked it up. Got it home and now its in peices in the garage lol. We pulled the damaged doors off, front bumper, hood is junk, and the bumper is going on ebay. I have all the doors and fornt bumper in the mail. A extra set of rims and tires that are almost brand new. I am going to do a carbon fiber oem style hood, JDM rear bumper with the diffuser fins, and a hell of a cleanup.
I pulled the engine out (the car has cams, 3ich turbo back exhaust, boost controller and a few other mods to it already)

Tearing the engine down, I found a hole the size of my first in the side of the block and piston #1 in the oil pan. thank god the head is somehow ok and has no damage. I found a longblock about an hour away and I am going to pick it up friday. Also ordered a set of headstuds, and a few other things while I have the engine out. my plan tis to use this longblock and use the 272 cams I already have and a little head work.

The turbo: the stock turbo is fine BUT (I cant stay stock lol) I found a KILLER deal on a upgraded turbo kit aka white rabbit turbo that put down 416hp on a 03 evo with same mods. I am selling the stock turbo as well.

lol her are some before and now pics... Hopin to get this car running and back together within two weeks.. then tuned the following

looks funny now... juts give me some time.

I don't see there being a problem throwing 400 and change to the wheels with a ported EVO 16g. Especially with 272s

Do NOT paint the hood. I'd keep it with the CF look. I'm very interested in your project and can't wait to see #s post larger snail.
