advice on future build
I have tried searching but cannot find the right answer i am looking for. i have a 2008 evo x gsr with the following mods.
perrin turboback exhaust
UICP and LICP
OBX radiator hoses
HKS SSQBOV
INJEN SRI
ACT full face Heavy duty clutch kit
Accessport
Currently on a stage 2+INJ accessport map
My question is this, what would a good parts list to start looking at BEFORE i get a bigger turbo. I was told that the car as is will be around 370hp and i am assuming thats at the crank not the wheels. If my goal is to be in the mid to high 400 hp range, what would be the best route to take? i plan on getting a fp black or something around that power range as i am looking for top end power not so much off the line power. i would like to build the powerband as a whole but the top end will be my focus. I know i will need a bigger turbo as well as injectors and fuel pump. Should i look into a certain type or brand of cams and exhaust mani? im new to the Evo game as i used to have a wrx and a mazdaspeed 3. Any and all help would be appreciated. Finally, what would be the average hp to the wheels if i were to upgrade just the cams, exhaust mani, and FMIC? ive read that just a FMIC wont net any additional gains but i have seen vendors claim a 20hp increase. i would like clarification on that.
thanks in advance.
