i took my car to a dyno recently... Just got a k&N typhoon intake for my 03 gsr. it currently has that and the samco turbo hoses...

I only peaked at 17.3PSI which only made 209AWHP..... serious issues.... please help guys i really appreciate it.. i need to hit 19psi!! thanks alot

 

humidity?

 

You don't know that the K&N Typhoon is the absolute worst intake for the Evo? Go do a quick search, and you will be selling that intake by tomorrow.

What were using to read boost? You didn't mention a boost gauge of your own. What was telling you the "peak" boost?

 

the dyno dynamics computer read psi was 17.3 peak..

why have i been hearing mixed things about the intake.. alot of people, like harmanmotive say they always use the k&n typhoon intake.. and ur saying it sucks... why is it absolute worst?

 

the k&n intake while may not be a good intake, it should not affect your boost. 17.3 psi could be ok for a stock 03 depending on temp/humidity, the gauge and the gear you're in. Also if you dyno'd on a dyno dynamics dyno, don't compare that 209AWHP to the dynojet #'s you normally see. Ask the shop how much whp a stock evo dynos there.

 

... its dynoed in 4th gear.. it was a lil warm but we had ALOT of fans on the ic and the whole car, like 1 huge fan and 6 of those blue turbo shaped fans on the car, and shudnt it hit 19 since its factory boost settings?

 

most dyno's use fans, that will not change the temp much. no you don't always see exactly 19 stock, there are many factors.

 

well my car is practically stock.. what do you reccomend i do, i am losing horsepower like a ****.. 1 suggestion i already got was to rid of the k&n typhoon... any others?

 

if u have a stock bov that could be the reason too the stock bov leaks boost like a **** i would get a after market one asap i went with the greddy type s

 

Go back to the stock intake and get a jdm mr bov, that should be an ideal setup for what you have. just my .02

 

well if i go back to the stock intake, should i get a k&n drop in filter? and i was planning to go to the greddy type s bov.. whatd be the diff between the mr bov and the type s greddy

 

did you buy your evo used?
you need an mbc - www.boostcontroller.com

 

yes i did buy it used... and it had been previously modified before, i know this because when i got the car it had samco turbo hoses..

 

first of all, dump that typhoon! and put the stock box back.

 

leave the intake
either get an mbc (best choice)
or replace your hose on the compressor outlet nipple , you might have the restrictor pill missing https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...9&postcount=40
