i was wondering if anyone had this combo or had any info on it iv looked around alot and im lookin for some ppls opinions.....but anyways im lookin to buy a intake and hard ic pipe kits and a BOV...and im not sure what all fits as far a pipes and the bov....iv been lookin at the greddy type rs bov and it comes with the flange to bolt on but is that for the stock piping?.....also iv looked at helix ic pipe kits and the hks race suction intake and then i seen the Injen intake and ic pipe combo but would the greddy bov fit the same with the flange and all that........hope this isnt to confusing?.....but what is some of your opinions on what would be the best IC pipes and intakes and BOV's......thanks ahead of time

 

As we say every single time, DO A SEARCH. This has been asked a thousand times, and there are TONS of people with all the parts you have mentioned. The Injen Intake has been used by many, MANY people (unfortunately) as a first mod along with a BOV (unnecessarily) for years. If you are interested in comments related to the Injen, then go to the "search" box and type "injen intake" or simply "injen."

Now, if these are your first mods, I would highly recommend AGAINST doing an intake and BOV first, because they are expensive and not very helpful. You will need a tune (flash/safc/xede) of some sort just in order for these mods to work properly and not LOSE power.

If you are interested in alternative uses of your money, I would suggest a boost gauge, MBC, and exhaust in that order. Then, if you go with a hard pipe kit and/or intake, do them both at the same time as a flash, otherwise it will be a waste.

im not exactly familiar with this...could ya maybe explain the flash and the other things

 

No, do a search. If you don't know what a flash is, then why are you already asking about getting an Injen intake and BOV? More and more people are moving from Hondas to Evos and thinking that these are the first two mods, which is causing our community to appear increasingly ricey. Do your homework...this car is an amazing machine and is capable of FAR MORE with only a few, choice mods. Be sure you know what you're doing before committing to expensive parts that look fast, but that aren't fast. Who/what gave you the idea of doing an Injen Intake (w/piping) and BOV to begin with?

 

i asked thsi question somewhat a few posts down.. SEARCH NOOB

 

i never owned a honda....i do searces and jus dont find the stuff so i ask to get updated advice and advice for MY question not someone elses...i will admit that i am new to the evo and the process of doing mods apparently the way im doing them is the wrong way....and iv not heard "flash" to much so i was askin if that jus a term or if it had another name....is it like jus tuning the ecu or the computer in the car?...and im not doing a intake and hard pipes and a bov first....i was askin which would be the best brands and items for this mod....my first mods will be a hks ti exhaust and some other things....im jus now starting to get into the motor style mods so i was only asking for some help and some info on everything.......

 

Since Warrtalon is being an a**hole I'll try to help you out.

An intake is generally a poor first mod because for one, the stock intake is very nice and can make huge power. If you swap to a new intake, you will need a reflash, which is when someone remaps your stock ECU changing the timing and air to fuel ratio's so your car doesn't run lean.

A BOV is not a bad first mod, it just has to be the right one. The APS BOV is the only one that I would suggest. Check the vendor forums to order one.

 

warrtalon is always an a**hole . anyways, for bov i suggest the HKS ssqv, exhaust, u shuld save some money buddy. With hks you are paying for the name. If you want a nice free flowing exhaust for a cheap price, i see alot of good from david buschur and his products. Personally i like the angled exit exhaust style, so i am going with the RSR exhaust especially if i can get it for 250 bucks. Here is my suggestion for you

- RS-R, good prices if you look around.
- RS-R Downpipe (also has a cat delete)
- Apexi S-AFC II with a good tune ( remapping ecu as mooreboost stated)
- HKS cams, 264/272 if you want good even power, 264/264 for low end, and 272/272 if u want top end.
- MBC (hallman,turboXS)
- Walbro 255 lph fuel pump
- Fidanza Cam Gears
- APR head studs ( no so sure on this, but to run cams, this can help to keep the engines reliablity)
- Then, go with intake (injen,helix,hks) and a harpipe kit (injen,helix)

this should cost you around 34-4100 with a good tune, and labor. not sure

just my .02

for soem good bov clips , got to www.blowoffvalves.com

 

u dont even own your evo yet? Get a works drop in filter...... and either an mr dv valve or an aps bov.... cant go wrong with either one of those. if u want the greddy r u trying to vent it to the atmosphere if so your car will run like ****

 

thanks for the help....nah iv had it for about two weeks and im jus starting to look into the modding....and as i said im a little new to the evo and not real sure the first steps to moddin the motor jus lookin for some suggestions and how others have done it to go from there.....and also like is there isnt exactly a whole lotta places around here that do motors and the flashing and the reflashing if it takes a certain place like that has a dyno or anything...im not to sure even that there is a shop close by with a dyno...lol.....but anyways thanks for the help..and any more suggestions would be great.....

 

Most people mail their ECU's to a few different companies for reflashing.

Probably the two most popular are www.dynoflash.com and www.turbotrixracing.com , they are both here on the boards to answer any questions.
