Hey guys havent posted in a while been too busy at college, but anyways... I brought my evo out to colorado for the winter(terrible idea being as it was tuned in chicago). I am very interested in a turbo upgrade. I am looking to spend between $7000-$8000. I still need injectors and a fuel pump and a a new clutch would be necessary for the upgrade. I am trying to decide between the RNR GT35r or the AMS GT35r. I would definetely get the equal length manifold with the RNR which would be about $4100 compared to $4400 for AMS's. Besides that, Do I need a carbon clutch to hold that type of power or can I go with a standard race cutch. Basically, I'm trying to find a clutch that will hold power for under $1000, but I understand that without carbon the clutch life wont last long. I am leaning more towards the AMS upgrade because they have done an amazing job on all the work on my car in the past. Any comments would help. By the way heres a list of my engine upgrades so far...

Greddy Profec e-01
Greddy e-manage
tenzo intake
HKS 264/264 cams
Buschur FMIC
Buschur lower and upper IC piping
rmr clutch(needs to be replaced)
buschur 3" full exhaust w/cat delete
Greddy type s BOV

 

I would (and this is just what I would do...) I would build the block and head. Stroke or blueprint, whichever you prefer, and possibly look into a turbo kit. Thats my ultimate goal and 8k should put you well on the way...This is however only in my case. You could also look into a good set of Zeals or Ohlins, a good clutch (of your choice). And possibly some motor work. I just think its the best investment because then, they sky is the limit as far as power goes.

 

Oh yeah I nearly forgot to say... this car will NOT be daily driven... it will only be driven in the summer in wisconsin.

 

"two chicks at the same time...chicks dig a dude with money"

 

lol. If it isn't daily driven and power is what you want...build the motor and run a gt35r at crazy psi.

 

first, i'd roll in all the money on my bed.... oh wait your talking mods...

first get my motor to about 350whp, cams, yada yada yada, then get a nice sicko suspension set up, then get rid of my stocker seats and get some sparco milanos, and black fab the back, also get some nice gauges... then hks kansai service front bumper, then ssr comps

thats me though.

 

Oh yeah, just check my mod list if you want a sick fast easy to drive car.

 

I do have cams and my last dyno was 355whp

 

go to full race and look at the kit they have. also spend the money on the clutch and do it only one time. dont want to have to put in another clutch.

 

sorry lol, i got carried away imaging i had 8g, sorry... get some suspension, wheels, if you want more power. like one said, get some engine mods, then get a bigger turbo, you can go about 100 different directions, just all depends on what your looking for...

 

Seriously, i would buy a spare motor and stand to tinker with. Not if, but when you f up the one in the car, you drop in the new built one and start working on the old one. Keep em in rotation.

 

I would pay off my car ...... buuuuuuuut since we car talking mod .... deifinately build the motor up, stroke and bore it, pistons, rods, cams, etc .... pretty much what Kwman said ....

 

hmmmm 8000

redbull and vodka and maybe a stripper and pack of cigs

if you have enough left over get some of those lights for your rims










no for real do what you want man its your car

 

Man, if only i had $8K to put into my car.....you should definitely strengthen the motor.....go with the AMS stroker kit and then u can take full advantage of the GT35 turbo kit. Or, if your really a caring person, u could donate some of that money to us poor people who still have to pay off their EVOs

 

go with the full race kit.

Robotically TIG welded for maximum strength and longevity.

Equal long-radius bends result in similar frictional flow coefficients, balancing flows from runner to runner

Low angle merge collector design.

Collector placement allows use of TiAl 44mm wastegate.

Turbine placement allows use of full 3.0 inch downpipe.

T04S style compressors will fit.

i've run their manifolds in the past on my customers cars before, and they performed flawlessly.
