Finally got myself scheduled into Moore Automotive's long waiting list to get my car tuned two weeks ago. Bought the car used and street tuned by the previous owner so I never knew what type of power it really made.

Chris at Moore was able to play with the tune and got it to close to 350awhp. Car runs smoother now though I'm still getting some knocking under load (at least thats what the flashing CEL is telling me?) lol

Mods include:
GSC S1s
A'pexi intake
GM boost solenoid
IX MR BOV
IX turbo
Buschur turboback
Walbro 255
FIC 950cc
AMS FMIC with cast end tanks
AMS down pipe
Megan o2 housing
Spoolin' Up coil-on-plug kit
TephraMod V7
ETS short-route 2.5" UICP
AMS small battery kit

 

nice man

 

thanks!

was wondering for anyone reading this, are these numbers good for the mods? i'm thinking of selling the car to save some money, but while it sits in the garage waiting to be sold, i'm also very tempted to just keep it and upgrade to a MAP EF3.

 

Numbers are comparable to others and what you'd expect for the mods. That is a lovely car with tasteful mods. I hope you decide to keep it and enjoy it.

 

Thanks. Appreciate it. It's looking like that. Been looking through the for sale section for a good deal on a turbo upgrade.

 

before upgrading the turbo, look into going e85, turns a stock turbo car into a monster, while keeping power low enough not to start breaking everything

 

i def wanted to, but we have like 1 e85 station in a 50 mile radius

i have the fuel pump and injectors already, think i would need anything else? i searched but keep reading all i'd need is pump and injectors and a retune. i'm coming from a 335i so pump and injectors seem so simple lol

 

nice numbers man, i got pretty much the same setup and my car did 350/317 at 21 psi. so yes those numbers are really good. how much psi are you pushing?

 

you have not been misled its easy to make an evo 8-9 a 400whp/tq car

 

Thanks. Yeah I never got to ask Chris but in 3rd or 4th at WOT I see my gauge go to 23/24 psi.

 

Nice! Now I have to read and catch up on hitting that 400whp.

 

Hey man, I'm local to you. Let me know if you decided to keep the car. I'm sure a few of us locals will be getting together soon.

Chris

 

Yeah ended up keeping the car. Looking to upgrade the turbo this spring. Let me know if there are any meets!
