Mellon Racing – John’s EVO 8 * Garret 3076 Turbo * 411Hp @ 27 Psi

Name: John

2003 EVO 8 5-speed USDM
Garret 3076 Turbo

GSC S1 Camshafts
Wideband O2

92 octane @ 27 Psi
VD 411Hp/351Tq ****was 290/235 old tuner*****

The car was tuned before by someone else and was making 290hp/ 235TQ wich for us was low going by the mods on the car , we went ahead and started to correct some of the drivability issues the car had , we then moved up to setting the boost and got up to 27psi with the S1 Cams and Gt3076R Turbo and we got 411Hp / 351Tq not bad for new found Power .

Mellon Is there enough room in hawaii for these cars? they might run out of road before they can even use the new power you gave them. great results!! im sure he was probably thrilled with the gains!

yeah, Gary and I have been talking about making our way towards Costa Rica and Puerto Rico recently. Give Gary a shout gary@mellonracing.com and maybe we can get something going. I know we had another guy inquire from PR recently as well.

haha barely, it doesn't take long to wrap up to 8000rpm. Frances aka flo kept saying after each pull as I increased the power "daaaaamn!" "this is crazy" Then I told him we've got 60 more awhp to go and he just about fell out of his seat in shock

thanks guys. yeah when Ed said "do you want to come out to Hawaii and tune some cars, maybe check out Pearl Harbor, the Arizona and the beach?" It didn't take long to say "hell yes!"

very interesting setup you've got there with the 58 and the aem ems. It's a shame you aren't on the stock ecu/maf we could get you setup with a beautiful tune via email.

John's 30R car should do about 500awhp at full tilt on race gas or e85 but he's more of a pump gas warrior for now. He was going to sell the car because of how poorly it was running but I think he's quickly decided to hold on to it for a bit longer and enjoy the new life it's been given.

Good numbers Gary!!!, my old setup was similar, Arty from Panama tune me and make 350whp at 21psi, You and Arty are really very good tuners.

Here in Costa Rica not many people tune your cars like other countries, here go up the boost but not well-tuned their cars, with my project, I want to demonstrate that a good tuning can make the car more reliable and get more power, many of my friends do not understand that.

luck with your projects!!!
