hey...here are the mods im planning to do to my car...


Hks Rs intake
Greddy type -s bov recirculating
Full Turbo back HKS Hi- power exhaust

The question i have is...i know i'll have to do some tuning with my car to make it run with no problems....but where can i go to tune it? can i go back to the dealer?
and also...what is a down pipe for or a cat back? down pipe + cat back = full turbo back? or what? and what is it used for? And im planning to start with getting an hks rs intake first...then maybe a full turbo back exhaust...will i need a tune? and do i need anything to else to control these? or anything? any help would be great..

 

you can tune your car anywhere with a dyno but you need something to tune your car with either a stand alone or a flash or even a fuel piggy back. THere's a zillion choices out there and everyone has their own opinions about what works. Turboback equals DP+testpipe/hi-flow cat+catback.

You will get all the answers you need with them. Great customer service, parts, service, and support.

Forget about the dealership. Your car becomes a bastard the second you mod anything.

 

well where are you located?
that would help

 

Contact a local tuning shop that has a good reputation with the EVO. They will keep you on the right path. Take posts on the boards as what they are, statements from unknowns!

 

um...okay...but the problem is i live in chicago..and there isnt anywhere that is good with evos.

 

so if i bought the hks hi-power catback exhaust...what will i need to make it a full turbo back?

 

downpipe

i would talk to vishnu, buschur, works, ams, any of those guys. even thought they fight they all def know their ****. cannot go wrong with any of them.

 

AMS is in chicago, isn't it? they are amazing with evos. but if your looking for a reflash, try Works they are easy and fast.

 

icic thanks compjoc and thanks redcloud...um...maybe they are ....why are there different inch downpipes and what significance does that make?

 

2.5 is best if your looking to slightly modify your evo, 3 is best if your going to be shooting for high hp.

 

thanks blingbling...im only going to be getting an intake and probably bov...so should i go with 2.5 or 3? and what difference is there between the two?

 

The downpipe debate is neverending. Search around and read what the arguements are before you decide. Most believe 3" is the best way to go regardless because it is a turbo car. If you are going aftermarket exhaust turbo back then 3" all the way. If you are not going to put a high flow cat on then you might as well stick with 2.5
You never want to go from bigger to smaller in pipe diameter from the front to the back. You want to stay the same of get bigger.

 

Oh yeah, AMS is near you. All the vendors are listed in the announcement thread at the top of every forum if you want thier site.

 

what do you mean no one in chicago good with evos...go to AMS in arlington heights. Look up their posts here or look at there own section under vendor info. They will know everything that you need to find out. Hope this helps you
