Dave, do you use a 2.5" o2 housing or is it a 3" on the RS?
And what would be the consequences, pros/cons, of each if any?

Thanks

 

i know u daily drive it, but r u the one making all these fantastic times? Also had a question about headers for u. so u know i have the ATP kit, and im running the megan mani now and haven’t had any problems as of yet. but i was wondering u know anyone who would have a header for me utilizing the stock location? i don’t want another cheap header that will do nothing but spot rust. is the borla any good?

now i know u will just suggest going to a stock ported mani, and i trust your knowledge on this subject, but there just no way i want that nasty looking cast piece on my car. its not like your mani's, all one solid piece. and i hope this doesnt turn into an ATP bashing post, but i thought i would ask u if maybe u guys would make one or know someone who would. thanks

 

My RS has a 2.5" 02 housing on it, right after the bend it goes up to 3". Not sure if there are pro's cons to either 2.5 or 3". If I could have made a 3" 02 housing that looked/fit how I wanted it to, I would have used full 3".

 

deadbeatrec, Full Race makes the best stock replacement header, that is the only answer I have for your problem. As you can see the savings you think you had buying a turbo kit on price only is going to quickly be changed when you buy a good header to go with it. Sell what you have a get..............

 

Cool
Thanks

 

is Full Race a company or r u just saying a full race header? do u know anyone who makes one that will fit the stock placement?

 

Full Race is an actual company. They are located in Arizona.

 

ok thanks guys, and just know just because i do not have your turbo kit on my car right now, doesnt mean i dont support u guys 100%. u and i know how much i have spent with u guys.

DAVID, you never fail to impress me and I always learn something new when I read your threads. Keep up the good work setting the bar higher!

 

Does Buschur sell that exhaust setup as pictured with the canister under the car and no muffler in the rear? Would it need to be a turboback or available as downpipe-back? I like that look and think its a great idea for JDM bumper use.

 

Yes, we sell an exhaust like that, it is turbo back only and V band only.

 

im honored you are using our manifold!! thanks dave

 

Today, for the first time this week I had a chance to actually take a breath at the shop. I was sitting at my desk and said, "Holy sheeat, I am caught up." I decided to go back and check on my car. I needed to fix two injector seals that were not seated in the cylinder head all the way, only took a few minutes.

Trent came back and was looking to see what I was doing. I told him I was going to go for a leisurely drive He hopped in the car and we took off.

Have I mentioned how much I like my EVO? I'm not crazy about the lag but I have to admit, this is a bad *** car.

Without riding in it you just can't appreciate the rediculous power.

I ordered some tires a few weeks ago for it, BFG Drag Radials. Today I ordered another set, Toyo something or another (can't remember) road race DOT tires. Little bigger tire. I will probably test them back to back and see which one works best and then sell of the others.

We have a track rental coming up in just over a week. Would like to see what the car is going to do and make a choice on the tires. Then clean it and wait for the Winged Warror event next month.

Oh, I have a small black square box up on my dash, Trent asked me what it was I told him my antenna for the navigation unit. I think he thought I was kidding until I turned on the double din screen and hit the "nav" button. Today was the first time I had used it, pretty freaking cool.

 

Damn Dave you crack me up! LOL Always got some new tech in your car!

 

nice dude!
