We just finished up my SSL Evo8 daily driver / baby hauler at The Shop, which was supposed to stop at stage 2 last december, but we all know how that goes. The guys at the shop got this thing built so quick, I hardly had any time with out it. I live a few hours away in MA so Jimmy made sure we got most of the work done in a few day trips to CT, even if him, JR, and the guys had to stay til 11pm -- There aren't many shops who will do this for you.

Wiseco HD Pistons
Manley TurboTuff Rods
AMS Balance Shaft removal
ACL bearings
Stock Crank
Fresh Oil + Water Pump Etc. Etc..

Supertech Dual Spring Valvetrain
Porting including combustion chambers

Etc.

FP Black w/ FP supplied silicone intake and big K&N filter
ETS 4" Intercooler (I thought this fit with the stock bumper beam )

Carbon Trunk
JDM Evo 9 Rear bumper w/ jdm beam

I'm amazed how much we got out of this setup on pump 93 even with the restrictions it has: the IC pipes could be bigger, the exhaust isn't exactly ideal for making power. It sounds like stock until you go WOT.

The speed density tune made this thing as close to stock driving as you can get with a build of this power level. This thing is without a doubt very driveable. No problems in rush hour or anything.

Do note, any kind of boost leaks and SD drives like garbage. If you aren't getting results like these, first thing you should do is run a boost leak test. I found this out after a line popped off the back of my manifold.

Tune was at 29-30 psi I believe, with a little left on the table for reliability.

 

Nice man. Congrats..

 

NO graph eh?

 

Very clean ride very nice.

P.S. How does that 4.11 feel on a 2.0 ?

 

Sorry, my mistake on the IMG code, graph is up.

You misread, the 4.11 is coming soon . I'll let you know what I think as soon as its in. I wanted to run the car in the 1/4 before installing so we can see the difference.

 

wow ur car is looking sikk as efff lol gotta love those RE-30's

 

great power, seems a lot laggier than other fp blacks though?

 

beautiful car. thanks for talking to me on the phone about your setup/experience

 

Very nice. 350wtq @ 4800 is pretty good for a 2.0

That thing looks like fun to drive. Hats off to junior once again.

 

Wow thats some nice power and sick looking evo!

 

nice dude, i remember seeing this out front of the shop when my buddy was getting his PSM STI loaded up on the dyno.

when JR told me it made that power on pump gas i was in shock! nasty setup!

 

im looking to get the fp black. i have the red right now, im making 530 on pump gas also. how bad is the surge? do you get the choppy surging noise when acclerating in third and fourth gear?

 

I had the forge bpv recirc on there and it surged really bad. I put the crushed stocker back on and they played with the wgdc a bit and now you really have to try to get it to surge. It now almost drives like stock.

Why is this thread moved into Freddys thread? Something wrong with evom or are the mods just messing around?

 

Ive read the stock evo 9 metal bov leaks past 20 psi.

 

Congrates on a job well done Sean. I see you did some cosmetic stuff to the car too it looks great
