AFI Evo 8 Project

Amongst all the other projects, sema, etc @ the shop...my evo has sat for the past few months on the back burner. I will be doing some turbo testing after sema so i figured it was good weekend to get the rest of the setup together.

I really wanted to get some cold air to the turbo, We have seen 5-6 mph gains in the 1/4 with a scoop on our Honda. I don't expect that much on a mild setup on my evo, but anything helps.

I also began fabrication on an Intake Manifold, should have it on the car sometime next month along with testing etc...







"Ram Air" style scoop on our Honda for reference.

Very cool! Glad to see the 8 getting some love again.


Hey Jesse,
I need some of that yellow tape/heat shielding stuff for my X.
Can you get me some of that stuff?

Thanks,

Chris
