i made 310wp at tuning technologies with my mods listed below. i dont think you will hit 300whpwith out cams. u might be close though

 

Why is it that yuo guys like so much more the 9 from the 8 concerning the duning capabilities as well as the oem power???? Does the oem turbo makes that difference?

 

very much so the case, VIII have the 9.8 hotside turbo? and the IX has the 10.5 hotside. this coupled with the Mivec are the most significant differences. someone else add the other reasons why, since i don't know any more.

 

yes you can hit 300 hp but I would recomend a set of cams and maybe a o2 housing to put you comfortably over the 300 mark

 

sorry for the noobish question...but when you guys say cams...do you mean the cam gears or the camshafts? i'm gonna guess it's the camshafts since the gears are only used to adjust timing correct?

 

Ugh, no, the 10.5 hotside came on the 05 VIIIs. The IX turbo is better, because it has a larger compressor housing. The MIVEC does not make more peak power, but it does help with area under the curve and spoolup. The other main difference is the revised coolant passages in the head that allow for more timing and boost without knock.

Evleb, can you restate your question more clearly? Please proofread before hitting "submit."

Reggie, of course "cams" stands for camshafts. That's what "cams" always means. Cam gears are cam gears, and they don't add power.

Yasir, uh no, an FMIC won't give near the gains of a set of cams.

Riceball, your numbers are low. 300whp is easy to attain on stg1 mods without cams. 310 with cams is quite low, but it's partially because you have to use 91oct.

 

yes i do have to use 91 octane and i'm only boosting 19-20psi and i also have a high flow cat

 

19-20 is low, HFC is weak, 91 sucks = 310whp.

 

i do have a dv already.. and i know those plastic ones sucks.

i will look into getting cams soon then. thanks for the info.

 

oh ok, well a buddy of mine talked me into buying the FMIC kit. Anyways, getting Jun264s and a free upgrade to a 10.5 turbo!

 

Jun 264s? Wow, those are extremely aggressive and are meant to be used with big turbos and a standalone ECU? I see you have a Power FC, so that should work.

 

you should be close to 300WHP meabe cams an a good manifold will help

 

^^ You don't need a good manifold to get to 300whp.
Stock manifold goes along way for power needs.
.

 

should be able to... cams would put you over that. While your in there headstuds!

 

so what do you guys think a 3in tbe, intake, fmic,gsc 272, boost controller, intercooler pipes, 680 injectors, fuel rail , pump, and o2 housing, stock 9.8 turbo evo 8 will do with a custom reflash and road tune?
