very nice intake box man. i want to do something like that. when the car gets hot and the radiator fan turns on your intake will suck in like 300F+ of hot air on a hot summer day.. definitely not good. your setup is very nice and white is my fav color for evos.

on e85 i will get this car about 500whp - clutch slipped when i added 3 deg more from a already conservative base map so im curious what it maxes out at myself.

and im in the same boat with the clutch thing.. def not fun to drop the transmission.

i like the pic at the track, you look like a man on a mission and focused in.

Thanks Tom, I have no doubt that you will get it close to 500whp as soon as I get off my *** and get a new clutch installed. You need to slow down on your clutch install because your making me feel like a slacker!

nice results - is that typically where the hta green hits peak boost? like 4400-4500 rpms?

around there yes. i can probably make it alittle quicker, but the sooner peak tq occurs the more blow the rods get which isnt something you want on stock rods. the torque is forced to stop increasing as well in early rpm to protect the engine, otherwise this turbo can be a torque monster. i dont remove the tq enough to sacrifice the power curves and flatten the tq curve, but i do it enough to maintain safety.

heres an example here of tq control: - kept it low but not so low that it would jeopardize the fun factor of the vehicle while having much higher hp

then here it is on 93oct, youll notice the tq curve much earlier here:

so it just depends..

I try to tune all cars in 3rd gear and if i tune in 4th i will make note on the forum post that way people can compare results with results.

also the above car is mivec, which also can be manipulated to assist in spool. this specific evo in this post is an evo 8 (non mivec).

if you really want to see what the turbos capable of, search for some built evos like Curt Browns on the fp green hta.

i think it was more of a pain this time then any other time! and this is around my 5th time doing it. This time i was able to keep the control arms connected to the ball joints tho and not touch the control arm bolts and just unbuckle the struts from wheel assembly and push it down and to the side and slide the axles out.. makes it much easier then undoing the entire assembly down there. if you need more info on it just msg me on aol.

but ya your intake box is awesome. maybe you can design me one

gotcha, thanks. the reason i asked is because im looking for a turbo for autocross and sometimes im WOT at really low rpms

fp green hta would be fine for you. its very responding. very close to the stock 9 turbo but with lots more airflow capabilities.

i would love an intake box like that but just noticed not way that would work with the damn acd reservoir..such a clean install, enjoy your car.

Thanks. The intake box could be made to work with the ACD reservoir, but you would be limited on intake pipe/filter choices. A short filter like the HKS would fit with a box like this even with the ACD reservoir.

ok that is good to know thanks so i am running the same intake pipe as you did you have to modify the fp intake pipe or just use a lower profile filter like the hks?

drb

iTrader: (39)

I used the FP Intake and I actually replaced the Buschur filter shown in the pics with a longer Amsoil filter, but I don't have ACD reservoir. With the ACD reservoir you would need to use a low profile/short filter like the HKS, and the intake box would need to be modified - moved towards the passenger side of the car, and maybe other changes depending on the intercooler piping used.

Something similar to the attached picture.

More tuning - updated results in the original post.
