I've searched and was wondering what Evo IX's put down with just an intake and MAIL-IN reflash on 91 octane. Please don't give me that search bull**** as I'm sure a lot of Evo IX owners are thinking the same thing. Just wondering your thoughts on what kinda #'s this otherwise bone stock Evo IX would put out. It's an Apex power intake (cone)if anything.

 

My guess 290-320whp depending on the tune.....

 

It's a mail-in flash lol.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if you made close to 300whp or maybe a little more on a dynojet.

 

Isn't this your 3rd thread asking the same question? The intake won't really make a difference. It would be a shame to do no real mods, but to throw on an intake. Get tuned and leave the car stock otherwise - don't mess it up with an apexi intake.

I've already answered the power question in your other threads.

 

Do yourself a favor and get a custom tune preferably on a dyno along with a drop-in filter for the optimum performance.

 

Why do a mail in flash when there are a few select tuners in your area that will flash it better and on a dyno or a road tune?

 

#1. This is the 2nd thread I've made and I'm asking for predictions.
#2. Only 2 people responded with REAL #'s in that other thread and those people had more mods than a cone filter.




And for gods sake, do you think your on god's chariot or something ? All I did was ask a god damned question. I've searched and all I was asking for was predicted #'s, not an explaination on what to do and not to do. I hope I didn't come off as an ******* but your not helping. I don't want a god damn flame war, just #'s.

Very simple

 

Thank's for the input bro. I haven't done jack **** yet lol, just surfin the website that's all lol. Nothing's final yet.

 

Bad idea........but hey it's not my car.

 

It's very simple to get these answers from searching, too, but you apparently couldn't do that. If you don't want to hear responses, then don't ask. I gave you an answer with 2 IXs who had mail-in Dynoflashes with just an MBC. I don't know how that is considered "more mods than a cone filter." You want to know what people think? It's just a filter - it's nothing special and is actually less preferable than the stock airbox. We've probably said that a hundred thousand times by now.

Kimletrim, considering the mail-in flash is $199, and any custom tune on a IX in his area would be $750 or so, I think his money could be utilized better with the mail-in. There is certainly not an extra $550 worth of power to be gained with a custom tune locally, but he could get an entire TBE for $550 and gain another 30whp if he wanted to.

 

And why is it a bad idea? Don't just make bogus claims without some form of support to back them. Hey, if I can go 12.2 on a safe mail-in flash with basic mods, then it must not be such a bad idea, especially when it costs less than a 1/3 of a EcuTek flash.

 

Whoa....once again you are talking out of your ***!!!! You don't live in the Socal area do you? I live here and have experience with several local tuners who I know for a fact will tune the Evo for a lot less than the stupid, good for nothing mail in $199 flash from your sponsor!

 

arbi ditch the cone, worthless and waste of money.

 

I suppose from now on, anyone asking a question should include a proviso stating, "Asking for advice from everyone except Warrtalon!"
