Many optional items for sure

I hate when people say search google, when you are in the threads trying to find information. That's why we come to the threads to get advice......anyways.

Depends on your power level, for like 450 whp you can run a walbro 255, but and some 1100 cc injectors. I know fic 1100 high z are good for 491 whp on E85.
For 500-600 whp you can get by on a walbro 400 and some 1450 cc injectors on e85.
Anything over 600 and really if you are going over 500 i would get a double pumper (2 walbro 255's) set up. And its best to get some 2000,cc injectors or some 2150's.
There are others inbetween but the 1650's arent that great.

i actually use google to search instead of this forum cause the results are different. If you go to google type in "evo m" plus whatever your searching for...it usually comes up right away.

<p>&lt;p&gt;Stlevoix I used to try and do that too but alot of times when you do that it pulls up alot of really old threads that may not be relevant now. Not that it would matter in this case lol but I would rather not even waste my time commenting then to give someone a response like go search google. To me its unwarranted unless its productive ya feel me

^^^My brother Mike wrote this & its what we both started with.

Find a good tuner who is EVO/E85 competent in your area. Review w/him the prescription above & make sure he understands & approves

The TephraMod V7 is a free download. Your turner will have to install this program into your ECU when youre ready for the tune

The optional items that will really awaken your EVO: Full 3" exhaust including downpipe / CAT delete / Open intake i.e. AEM style / Cams

If you have further questions, PM me
