Hey guys, I got some new parts for my evo8 to test out in the coming weeks, I figured I would put up a poll just for fun.

Which part do you think will make the largest power gain or largest ET/MPH gain at the dragstrip?

#1 Buchur Race FMIC core. I will be removing the stock fmic and putting the monster 24 x 12 x 4 core on. This will be the first thing testest. Installing tommorrow and will have HP/TQ/Temp info tommorrow. Track testing friday.

#2 Forced Performance Turbine Housing. Im currently running a PTE "dsm bolt on" turbine housing on a GT35R with a buschur cast manifold. Many people belive this old style housing is a major power choke. This is the same turbine housing that was on the original BR turbokits.

#3 Magnus Motorsports Sheetmetal intake. I have had this laying around the shop for about a year now, and figured I might as well use it. This is the older style without the CNC machined bell inlets. We are welding in bungs for a set of additional injectors that will be used as methanol secondary injectors for test #4

#4 AEM EMS controled secondary injectors flowing methanol. Im building a secondary fuel system (fuel cell, lines, pump, regulator, 4 injectors, rail) to be able to run up to 50% methanol/50% gasoline. Alky kit on crack! This will allow a super aggressive tune on the car everyday, as well as push the tuning past racegas levels.

The car ran 11.5 @ 120 last week. Im hoping to see 10's with these changes.

The poll is just for fun.

 

I think that intercooler could double as a beer pong table.

 

nate...are you going to island this friday night?

 

Yes, Ill be there with the fmic on. hopefully traction will be better than 2 weeks ago. Once the sun went down, it got slick in a hurry.

 

Its tough call between the hotside and I/C. I think the hotside will be more beneficial.

 

Now that sounds fun!

 

yes. It seems the EMS's secondary injection was designed perfectly for a dual fuel system. The car can run on the 4 gasoline injectors up to any standard duty cycle. Then say at 35% duty cycle, it activates the "switchover map". That map tells the ems what percentage of the duty cycle to split between the gasoline and methanol injectors. You can set it to progressivly run more and more meth as boost rises. If the injectors/pump are large enough, you can transition 100% to secondary injectors and run the engine completely on meth at higher boost levels.

It would be pretty nuts to have your everyday boost level set to 40psi.

 

What fuel are you going to be running at the track? are you going to replace the tb too?

I like this poll, it's fun and makes yah think.

 

Im going to run sunoco 116 racegas on friday, and to test the turbine housing and magnus intake manifold to keep things consistent. After I get baseline #'s for the FMIC, turbine housing, and SMIM..I want to try and run the car on regular 93 octane pumpgas/meth and try to run the same as it does on 116 racegas.

 

good luck

 

Island is closed friday, just found out today. I think Im going to hit Etown friday then.

 

Etown has the import fall nats this weekend too!

 

Don't you need a mitsu flange to t3 flange adapter plate for that fp turbine housing?

 

The FP turbine housing is a "bolt on for DSM" setup. The BR cast manifold puts "DSM bolton" turbochargers on the evo8. works fine, although, I wonder why BR chose to design thier cast manifold around a DSM style turbo instead of a T3 turbine.

 

Please let me know how this works out. I'm very interested in this because I don't see a reason to run alky in place of race fuel.

As for the poll. I'm going to say the intake is going to be the biggest per mod. (Tho, it'd be nice if you put a new tb on too.)

Here's my guess assuming youre going to run race fuel. In order for least to most.

alky
IC
housing
intake
