Alright well ive been working alot of overtime and ive have freed up some income to do some upgrades to my evo 8. Ive currently got :
K&N short ram intake
Injen upper and lower charge pipe
Hallman Manual boost controller
Megan Racing 3in downpipe
Megan Racing 3in exhaust
Megain Racing 3in cat delete
Megan racing 32 point adjustable coilovers
ACT street clutch
B&M short throw
Stewert Warner boost guage


So ive got about 1200 bucks to spend, and want to know where i should go from here. Ive been looking into cams and those seem like my best bet, but the choices seem rather exstensive and numbers vary, so which ones would be best for me i dont know. Im probably keeping the stock turbo for a while so i know that the really agressive cams arnt the best way to go. Although from what ive read the HKS 280s have had mixed results on the stock turbo. Let me know what your guys opinion on the best way to go from would be

 

Get a tune,fuel pump,and JDM MR DV first..

 

also get rid of that k&n short ram intake,and get a buschur or ETS one , also add some cams and a tune

 

cams, tune, fp, o2 housing

 

What year is your VIII?

 

Man I am glad someone started this thread. I am in the same boat, I have been saving durring my deployment and am about 4000. Trying to figure about the best way to start. I am going to be going to south florida in October for leave and hoping to get some work done then. So hate to piggy back on some elses thread but it is a good one. I have a STOCK IX RS with nothing done to it. I have been a little busy to get around to doing anything to it.

 

Get a tune, a BOV, check out the Works stuff. It works very well. And get rid of the K&N intake!

 

Oh i forgot to mention the car has been tuned already and it has a evo 9 BOV on it its at 286/287 as it was tuned at TurboTrix. Is the K&N intake so bad that it would justify buying a new one?

 

Yes, get rid of the K&N Typhoon. That will be your best mod. Then, get cams, fuel pump, o2 housing, alky injection, and a reflash.

 

We have eflashes available to suit your level of modification. Let us know if you are interested.

 

Thats what i would do. Sounds like the best next mods for your situation.

 

after you get rid of the intake of course^

 

alright im confused, the buschur racing intake doesnt look that different from the K&N, whats the advantage of it?

 

the inside of the aem one is messed up. Where the recircularer hose goes on isnt a smooth trasition on the inside of the intake. The buschur one does and will most likly make you car run better.

 

dont ever get that K&N Typhoon!
