I had the pleasure to tune Joe's low mileage Evo IX. Joe wanted a few things
changed before tuning, and I recommended a few other things as well.
The vehicle was very fun to tune and drove excellent. As good or better then a bone
stock evo.

We performed the following on the car:

1. Installed a TSComptuned Walbro 255 /w modification and install kit
2. Cleaned engine bay, added vacuum lines where they were missing, and
visually inspected the entire car.
3. Added a Grimmspeed 3 port to the vehicle in combination with the existing Hallman Pro
4. Crimped dipstick / added more oil since the vehicle was down over a full quart.
5. Installed fresh spark plugs 1 step colder and gapped accordingly
6. Tuned vehicle on a dual map Tephra v7

Mods of the vehicle are as follows:

Stock block /w 39K miles
3.5" ETS fmic /short route piping
Tial 50mm bov
Milspec TB
REV3 Intake manifold
FIC 1250cc inj
TSComp Walbro 255 /w mod
GSC S2 cams
Ported exhaust manifold
MAP EF3 Turbo /w Turbosmart 18psi WGA
Invidia o2 housing / Invidia DP
STM aluminum exhaust /w hfc
Grimmspeed 3 port + Hallman Pro (Hybrid)
Tephra v7 SD /w hybrid boost

The car I had put over 520whp on the E60 blend but I didnt like the AFR curve, as it was showing signs of pump not being able to keep up, so I dialed it back quite a bit. This can be shown by the yellow graph

The car was an absolute blast to tune on the street. The EF3 is a really nice responsive turbo and this cars mods just worked together so well.

93 oct results & E60 together: (Blue line: Final tune | Yellow line: Pump maxed | Green line: Ok, but dialed it back just a tad from there)



Some pictures of the vehicle:

 

Nice numbers Tom and a beautifully, well kept car.

 

Nice..I have a similar setup but with AEM EMS...Thinking about going back stock ECU to run tephra SD V7

 

Very clean!
