Well i went to the track for the first time tonight in the evo.. I have a 2003 Evo 8... I have a turbo back, with up pipe down pipe, injen intercooler piping, and a aem intake.. The best i went was a 14.3 at 96.6 mph... Im at over 5000 ft elevation... But i was just wandering does that sound like a good time really or is that pretty bad??? Also what else should be done for some faster times... Im not talking nothing big big, just like i know a turbo manifold, and bigger intercooler and tune.. but what else... thanks guys

 

sorry to say but no thats not a good time...stock evos go much faster then that...post up your time slip and we can tell you where you need to improve...is your car tuned or no?

 

well a tune atleast would be good umm other then that get your 60ft better that car shoul be a low 13's car as it sits. Just a cat back my buddy ran a 13.0 @ 100mph.

 

i don't have a tune.. i know i need to get one asap.. also the car would be a low 13 at sea level.. not at this elevation that im at no...

 

before you get tuned I would do a mbc and gauge or ebc to get the most from the mods.

 

Guys keep in mind he is at 5000ft elevation..If I were you I would do a turbo back exhaust (do not get a manifold) and have a forum vendor like Mellon or a reputable tuning shop dyno tune your car on a load bearing dyno..I ran 12.2 with only tbe and tune..

 

Too only run 12.2 and tbe only you must have some good 60ft.

 

was your buddy in an 03? remember, the 03 is the weakest perfomer in stock form, and normally with minor boltons. plus the elevation. i would assume once tuned, at least a mid 13 is possible. so i would guess you should be able to run higher 13s as is.

 

yeah im trying to get mid 13's... the plans are a mbc, or a ebc, a bigger fmic, a turbo manifold, and a tune after adding all that... think with a good 60ft i could hit high 12's??? at over 5000 ft elevation...

 

theres no such thing as an up pipe on an evo, only wrx

 

the 10.5 hotside would be help out top end too.

 

Im at 5000ft elevation and i have a decent tune running 22-23psi.. The fastest I have ran is 12.8 at 109

 

We are OVER 5000' where I am at and we have a few Evo's in the 11's on the stock turbo and E85... a 14.XX is pretty slow but it was your first time cut yourself some slack.

But please get a tune before you blow your S*** up .

 

true... im just trying to see what i can do to get it faster.. just wanted some info...

 

Get a tune, possibly E85 (w/ bigger injectors), cams, head studs.... get your 60' times down to the 1.6 - 1.5 mark, faster shifting and say hello to High 11's.
