I have heard of the new turbotrix cams for the IX.. but haven't seen them anywhere... Do they still retain the MIVEC or am i better off just to get a 272exhaust cam? I KNOW the next thing for me to do is ams licp and a walbro.. But as far as coated hotsite and porting.. I thought my 20g was good enough. I Honestly amd just looking for 400whp on 93 oct. What will i need to get that.. I should be at around 330-340 whp now right? I am going to the dyno April 22nd to see what is really up.
Oh man oh man oh man...
You do NOT HAVE A 20G. You have the stock turbo. Do you remember purchasing a 20g?
Evos do not come with 20Gs. They come with 16G6s, but the IXs have a larger compressor housing - that's it. Regardless, you would still benefit from a ported/coated hotside just like any turbo would. It gives you more flow, increased exhaust speeds, and lower underhood temps. Even if you had a 20g, that would still be something you'd want to do, but you don't have a 20g. I'm not sure where or how that rumor got started, but we need to make sure NO ONE ELSE THINKS THIS.
You don't want to add the pump without a retune. You can add the AMS LICP, but save the pump until you get retuned.
400whp will require the alky, licp, the ported/coated stuff, and a custom reflash. The TT cams aren't being seen much, because they cost $900. You could get a GSC 272 exhaust cam, and it will work, but we still haven't seen much empirical evidence to prove that the single exhaust cam provides a lot of power. If you do a cam or cams, I do recommend putting in ARP head studs, especially if you're going for 400whp, which will require some big boost.
