Definitely agree, no need to rush when working with such a legendary Evo. Looking forward to seeing this icon come to life again! By the way the HKS foam filters are supposed to be replaced quite often but most people that install them forget about replacing the foam and expect them to last forever 🤪. Replacement intervals are.... Dry type: after 6 to 12 months, or 6- 10,000km Wet type: after 3 to 6 months, or 3- 5,000km
Considering y'all already need a new fuel tank, it would not be such a bad idea to redo everything fuel related. What would also be cool is to try and contact these companies and see if they can get some special parts for the car shipped to your doorstep like a new HKS turbo kit.
Fuel tank is thick metal, you can get rid of the rust in it with Bilt Hamber Deox-C. Will dissolve that rust back to good as new. It’s powder, you mix up with water, pour in, watch It bubble away dissolving the rust back to steel, like magic! I’ve done exactly this. 👌
It would be kinda awesome to see a full radium fuel line build and just everything on the fuel side refreshed, or new and it would look so nice like adams R34
Dustin, This video just triggered my PTSD! I bought a literal barn-find low mileage EVO 8 that was parked for over 2 years, non running, 2 dealerships couldn't even get it started. I bought it, got it running. 4 days later found out it was crankwalked. Got a new long block. It's running again. 500 miles miles later injectors went bad. Got em cleaned, 500 miles they got clogged again. Took injector filter baskets out, found debris. WTF. Pulled fuel pump and had mad rust in there. Then this video became my life for a few couple days. I felt every emotion you went through during this. lol. Thank God I have a lift in my garage as well! 🙏
Throtl's F&F eclipse build, Dustin's tokyo drift EVO build, Teej's RB mustang build .........ahhhhhhhhhh now i see the pattern....you guys better make a mini movie together when all of your builds is gonna complete.
Definitely fuel cell!! It fits with the car. Plus makes it easier other than new lines but that also gets rid of possible crap in factory fuel lines. So I'd say best option. Love this series!!!!!
After 60-90 days ethanol begins to start phase separation where the molecules separate and become water again. The more the ethanol the faster the phase separation is gonna happen. Working on fuel tanks in the SE has shown me some of the work ethanol can do
Good idea for a drain plug on the fuel tank, when I was a tech workiing on Jags they didnt, so when I had to pull a full fuel tank it would just spill out when dropping it out the car.
Considering the car has been sitting for 15 years, the damage really isnt bad. Replace the fuel system, run clean oil straight through the engine + gearbox until clean, fix the cooling and replace the air intake. Oh yea, while you are at it, drop the oilpan and replace the gasket, might be dry and start leaking. But after that it, should be safe for a start up. Of course after that many years, you never know what might give in once you get her going. Go easy on her boys, once you got her rolling, she needs to retrace her steps before rippin :-) Thank you for taking good care of such a legend
I would go OEM style fuel tank to preserve the cars original movie form. Rebuild the turbo on the car and fuel system. Needs to maintain it's early 2000's Tokyo Drift heritage! Great job finding the source of the problem! I cant wait to hear the Evo start for the first time!
change the fuel pump set, tank replace or refurbish if you can, do fuel line flushing too, i would prefer to the original tank instead of fuel cell. you can service the injector too see if it can be saved. for turbo first check on the fin if it breaks or badly shaking. if okay on both side of the fin, replace all fluids, see if there is any small bits of metal or not. if all okay you can try start the car. If white smoke appear, you might need to check on valve seal or piston ring or turbo oil seal. That is what I did to my Mitsubishi Airtrek Evo 9 engine. hope this helps.
Glad someone like you got ahold of this thing, so many of these cars like this just go into some collection nevr to be seen ever again. And if you are ever up in Seattle hit me up, would love to see this car and test its metal against my z32.
I love seeing Sparco hanging out at the shop, just be really careful with him getting any access to coolant, dogs think its candy and it will kill them.
about the oil in the intake. Thees filters are oiled with filter spray so that it has a better chance of catching small dust particles ect. The coat of oil in the intake may just be that filter spray being sucked of the filter itself
It is not rwd nor was this one ever in the movie. The movie one was also awd and they never made any of the stunt ones rwd as it wouldve cost more then the actual car. So no none were rwd
I used a picture of this Evo in a school presentation right after seeing Tokyo drift. Can’t believe you were able to buy this and I can’t believe we get the opportunity to watch the build come together. Much respect ✊
They have tons of ways to restore gas tanks! Basically you just pour acetone in the tank and it eats it all away. Then you can add a sealant if needed. I've seen way worse! Like I have seen varnished totally and restored fully. They also have places that do it for you.
that sucks you just can't start it up but you gotta be prepared to dig in deep and do it proper. it's ok if it takes time to restore it's been sitting for over a decade. i'd also suggest doing a prestone flush on the coolant so it can actually clean it instead of just swapping the fluids.
Mine sat for 3 years with a 1/3 tank of gas in it and no matter what, you'll have to pull the tank to clean and coat the inside because that rust will continue clogging pump filters. I just went with a 16 gal fuel cell in the trunk.
In tokyo drift trailer it says : 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR - Sean Boswell / Lucas Black It has an Evo VIII end but it's an Evo IX. Engine is a 2-liter turboed DOHC 4G63 with an RMR air intake system and downpipe. Front driveshafts were disconnected to make drifting possible. Appearance mods include an APR body kit and rear wing, APR Racing side mirrors, and Ray's Wheels G-Games 99B 19" rims.
This guy is changing he's tune, last video he said he wants to keep most of the original components as possible in order to keep the car original but now he's talking of replacing parts that haven't even tested to be faulty
I’d give anything to be able to replace my evo9 that was smashed years ago in a hit and run didn’t have full coverage and couldn’t do much with it my kids loved it and my little ones love helping me work on vehicles! My 2 year old is obsessed and loves evo’s and gtrs just like daddy, she’s the best.
1st thing I’d have done was order up a timming belt and water pump kit and pull the sump and check the bearings evos have a tendency to wear out the bearings if driven hard on corners and track use
End of the day you have an original Toyko Drift movie car doesn't matter how bad things are..Great to hear your keeping it original massive find , never sell it Justin...The only thing i would suggest adding to the car to increase it value - Drum roll please LUCAS BLACK signature on it..This is your mission should you choose to accept it Mr Williams..
Lucky me this video landed on my recommendation. Anyway, might as well replace the fuel lines since you already started with that rusty fuel tank.. You don't want to be so sure with the old fuel lines. Hope to see this rebuilt soon..
Are you guys going to check the timing belt and pulleys also? With that belt being over 10 years old and sitting for so long I would think it’s seen better days

Btw, I don't know much about cars and the interior, but yeah man take your time to work on that legendary evo. Work it to perfection.
Agree!

Overnight parts from Japan!
Calling @Devin Niemala !! Yall need collabo with this rebuild !
this would be dope!
Yesss!!
And Bobbi!
i would pay to see that
Get Devin to join in, and do a collab on fixing the Evo.
Yeah he is the go to evo guy...sure makes best evo content
i was going to comment the same thing!
Thats my name lol
Yes
YES
My boy Sparco is growing!!!
Literally came across your insta story and it said 11 hours ago and it had like 10 seconds left on the upload. Love the evo content
Thanks man!
Im so sorry man but what in gods name possessed you to slap an sti wing on a brz...
@@Chumeann it came like that, GT86 Aero edition
you should get sung kang over to show it to him
itll be a rush of memories for him

Stay all night waiting for this here in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Panalo!!!
Ano

Yuuuun!!!!! Letsgoooooo
eyyyy
Keep it as orgininal as posible man! Dont ruin it, its a piece of history!
YES
It would be kinda awesome to see a full radium fuel line build and just everything on the fuel side refreshed, or new and it would look so nice like adams R34
🤫🤫🤫 just wait!!
@@dustiinw awwwwww shucks got me excited to see some sexy fuel lines
When the Evo is back up and running you should re live the scene when Han was teaching how to drift 🔥

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ON THAT CAR! PLEASE! Just restore it. It’s a piece of history and needs to be preserved.
@shane its the literal car. APR built this for Tokyo Drift. Its not the wreck cars or the movie extras, its THE hero car. The original
@shane No it’s the original.
@shane there are 6 of these used in the actual movie and this is one of em
@@noahhall2268 its not the movie car. It was APR's press car. But it was a stunt drift car
@@AstroM340i I believe universal has the original hero car
Still can't believe you got the evo..still waiting for the 32 and curious on the whereabouts of the 33 😁
LOVE - the fact you have this and are bringing it back to life.
HATE - the fact you changing the setup instead of replacing like for like
Definitely fuel cell!! It fits with the car. Plus makes it easier other than new lines but that also gets rid of possible crap in factory fuel lines. So I'd say best option. Love this series!!!!!
It's amazing seeing someone truly living out their dreams and sharing it for all of us to see! Love this Dut
Hey Dustin. It is the real DK here. That is "My Ride"
EvanShanks Evo 8, Dustins FF Evo, and TJHunt RB Swap Mustang😭😭. Childhood Dream Goals👌
After 60-90 days ethanol begins to start phase separation where the molecules separate and become water again. The more the ethanol the faster the phase separation is gonna happen. Working on fuel tanks in the SE has shown me some of the work ethanol can do
Loving these videos! Appreciate you sharing to allow us to go through this experience with you man!
i love how Dustin considered this a “long video” when Adam LZ does 20+ min videos every upload lmao
we need longer videos always, Dustin!

Make it work brother, we are all super hyped! greetings froms Greece!
about the oil in the intake. Thees filters are oiled with filter spray so that it has a better chance of catching small dust particles ect. The coat of oil in the intake may just be that filter spray being sucked of the filter itself
What a way to end the week. Keep up the amazing work as always Dustin! You never fail to disappoint us.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
I can’t wait for this evo to be on a midnight run video by Harnett media 🔥
Am I the only one who his curious to know if this thing has been rearwheel drive converted like the stuntcars?
Was gonna ask the same thing!!!! And if not they need to convert it.
It is not RWD atm i bet you money on it ;)
@@Evo009 how do you know?
It is not rwd nor was this one ever in the movie. The movie one was also awd and they never made any of the stunt ones rwd as it wouldve cost more then the actual car. So no none were rwd
The car in the movie is right hand drive and this car is left hand drive
Glad this popped up on my TH-cam great content👍🏻. Love this car and how your doing it. Definitely subscribing.
My EK3 was sitting for some years just the same and like the Evo the fuel pump and tank was dunzo!! Hope you guys had fun changing it out lol!!👍💯
Dealt with rusty tank/fuel on my 05 MR... Best of luck! Hopefully since it hasn't ran means no cylinder head damage.
I used a picture of this Evo in a school presentation right after seeing Tokyo drift. Can’t believe you were able to buy this and I can’t believe we get the opportunity to watch the build come together. Much respect ✊
Waiting for first episode , 2am in singapore! Cant wait to get through the video!
They have tons of ways to restore gas tanks! Basically you just pour acetone in the tank and it eats it all away. Then you can add a sealant if needed. I've seen way worse! Like I have seen varnished totally and restored fully. They also have places that do it for you.
Fuel safe makes nice cells! Just ordered one myself
that sucks you just can't start it up but you gotta be prepared to dig in deep and do it proper. it's ok if it takes time to restore it's been sitting for over a decade. i'd also suggest doing a prestone flush on the coolant so it can actually clean it instead of just swapping the fluids.
Bro please show the removal of the gas tank. Would love to know, so I can do it on my car👍🏼 Glad your back in the Evo scene👌🏼
i hope he keeps all the old parts and makes a museum
I think the yellowing and sludge you are seeing is just typical varnishing of the fuel. You can save the o.e. tank.
11/10 for the rust in the fuel tank been sitting for way to long to not have terrible rust
Mine sat for 3 years with a 1/3 tank of gas in it and no matter what, you'll have to pull the tank to clean and coat the inside because that rust will continue clogging pump filters. I just went with a 16 gal fuel cell in the trunk.

Patience and persistence man. You're living the dream!!!!
What a bummer!! It’s all part of the process though take your time 🙌🏼💯
She deserves the best, please fix her and get her running healthy
That lil sneak peak of the 350z bucket seats 😳🔥
You haven’t mentioned the fact that it’s rear wheel drive. Any updates about that? Are u gonna make it AWD or leave it as it is?
Dustin, you are an absolute madman for taking on this project and I love it.
Great episode. Looking forward to the rebuild.
Hit up B&M Performance in regards to an OEM fuel tank. They have a ton of Evo shells that they part out regularly!
This guy is changing he's tune, last video he said he wants to keep most of the original components as possible in order to keep the car original but now he's talking of replacing parts that haven't even tested to be faulty
This guy Has to be somewhat safe
Don't forget the car did a lot of overseas tours, a lot of the oil your seeing in the intake piping could be preservation oil, and not blow by.
Great episode! Definitely into this series now that both you and Tim see what you'll be tackling.
Time for that stroker build!!!! Please go with a g series garrett turbo Dut!
I’d give anything to be able to replace my evo9 that was smashed years ago in a hit and run didn’t have full coverage and couldn’t do much with it my kids loved it and my little ones love helping me work on vehicles! My 2 year old is obsessed and loves evo’s and gtrs just like daddy, she’s the best.
straight replacement no cleaning that
Literally
Should just be replacing anything on that car tbh having been sat for that long
Super stoked for the end result man. Love from Malaysia 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Great vid, keep it up brother
bruh i'm telling you know this is gonna be a legendary series. How many people can say they own a FF car. This is SO awesome!
1st thing I’d have done was order up a timming belt and water pump kit and pull the sump and check the bearings evos have a tendency to wear out the bearings if driven hard on corners and track use
Filters will stop particulates but not bad fuel.
Up all night from indonesia!!!! Love the content Dustin. Love the Evo too. 🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
You should cut the gas tank to look inside of it and maybe you can see what you miss that is hitting. Love the show
Once it’s done he should meet tavarish to see the fast 8 lambo
Damn can’t wait for this thing to be running, love the evos
Love the music choice! Way better then normal tame lapse music!
Really enjoying this evo revival content. Can't wait to see more 🔥

Im so jealous of u 😯😯 and happy you are reviving the unicorn 🙌
Awesome video can't wait to see the evo finishes.🔥 🔥 🔥
I'd love to see you use all original mods they did, otherwise it becomes very other evo
Just subscribed because of the evo, keep them videos coming.
Really pumped for the build!!

Awesome video, can’t wait to see the rest. What song is that at 3:00?!
APR must be so glad y'all took that car off their hands 🤣
Ya but think abt the content and views he can get jus for having this car and fixing it.
@@nineninesixteensixteen2386 yeah I know. Just saying that's all. Dustin is a cool guy.
Ouch! You guys got your work cut out! Knowing Dustin and his history with Evos, he'll bring back and restore this iconic car to its glory days.
Don't go with the fuel cell do the OEM Tank be great to see this back exactly how it was since this is the hero car
How much was it? Couldn't just build one from scratch.. but gotta say I love the passion
This series is about to be fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it but the assembly is actually the fuel filter.... :)
Yess! My car hero🙏🏾🔥
Cant wait till it revived alive and let Sung kang drove it 🔥🔥🔥
make sure to put a cam belt on it before you try to run it, even if it has done no miles they perish and can end badly. such a cool car
Zero to 100 baby let's go💪
EARLY BOY SQUAD 😤🔥
Are you guys going to check the timing belt and pulleys also? With that belt being over 10 years old and sitting for so long I would think it’s seen better days
I think the most impressive thing about this video is Dustin wearing two hoodies in the cali heat.
It’s been in the 60s it’s not that hot yet
