In this riveting episode from TJ Hunt's channel, we witness the epic resurrection of a 1998 Evo 5 in a striking Danny line yellow hue. The team embarks on a mission to breathe new life into this iconic machine, facing a daunting challenge as the car is stripped of essential components like headlights and suspension. Undeterred by the Evo's sorry state, they vow to complete the entire rebuild in a single episode, a feat that promises high-octane excitement and adrenaline-fueled action.

With the heart of the Evo, the 4G63 engine, at the center of attention, the team spares no expense in enhancing its performance. Upgrades include the installation of an HKS vcam and an Evo 9 turbocharger, poised to unleash a surge of power that will undoubtedly set pulses racing. Not stopping there, they introduce an array of performance-boosting components such as an HKS intake manifold, oil cooler, and front mount intercooler, ensuring optimal efficiency and power delivery.

As the build progresses, the team's meticulous approach shines through in every detail, from cleaning and preparing components to the strategic installation of upgraded parts. The addition of DET Works injectors and htech bits further underscores their commitment to achieving peak performance. Amidst the flurry of activity, a brief interlude sees a nod to a sponsor, Drift, whose air care products offer a touch of luxury and freshness to complement the roaring power of the Evo. With the finish line in sight, the team's anticipation for the impending dyno session is palpable, promising to reveal the true might of their labor of love.
