Well the big build on my EVOX has begun. We have two EVOX's here now, both getting engines, mine and a customers.

The first car was the customers and we found a damaged spark plug in the car, the strap was burnt off. The remainder of the engine was in good shape. Being curious as to what may have happened we shipped the injectors out to have them tested. We were running DW1000's in the car. The injectors have only a few thousand miles on them. Here are the flow numbers:

#1, 972 cc, flow was good
#2, 992 cc, flow was good
#3, 935 cc, flow was fair
#4, 959 cc, flow was fair

These were sent to RC Engineering to get an outside opinion as there was no reason for the burnt plug. The car was built and tuned here. There is quite an imbalance in the injectors. I am not forming an opinioin as of yet.

The 2nd car is my own EVOX. Same story, burnt the plug off in it, my car also has a damaged piston, surprisingly the car did not smoke and seemed to be just down on compression. This brings me to the next warning..........

Upon taking the engine out and inspecting it we found that every single exhaust valve has hit the piston. We were running the Cosworth MX1 cams, which do not require a valve spring upgrade. That very well may be the case if the stock rev limit is retained, but the car will not finish the 1/4 mile in 4th with the stock rev limiter, so ours was bumped to 8500 rpm. Why it happened or how it happened doesn't matter, this is being posted to save some of the rest of you the same problems. If you are running these cams I'd highly advise leaving your rev limiter stock.

The injectors in my EVOX will now be sent out to be flow tested at RC Engineering too. I will post the results when they come back.

Both cars are getting spring upgrades and ID1000 injectors now.
