Just wondering how this would work, of if ebay MBC are garbage like half ebay stuff is!

It looks like a turbosmart knock off. I wouldnt trust it though.

 

Or what is a suggested MBC that doesnt cost abunch? Im not planning on running a high psi, mainly want to get rid of taper! What is a trusted MBC? Also looking at a TURBO XS MBC?

 

id rather go with a proven one (hallman, forge, dejon tool)

a mbc is something i dont want to gamble with, especially since the good ones arent that expensive

 

dejon tool or joe p mbc. If you want to have a little more bling I'd go hallman...

 

Hallman FTW! The turboXS is trash. I had it and swapped it out for the Hallman. Improved spool and taper reduction. I have an VIII and it doesnt taper that much. Im hitting 21psi and it drops to around 19 at redline. I saw you requested a quote from Ultimate CC. Hes a great seller and the MBC is worth the money. I think i paid 95 shipped. Maybe a little bit more.

 

yea i did, is it safe to run at 21 psi completely stock?

 

You should get tuned. It should be alright since the evo's run pig rich from the factory, but you might not get much from it without a tune. The older turbo cars like the SR20DET from nissan you could put a boost controller and bump it up from 7psi stock up to 14psi with no problems. But these damned newer cars you gotta tune to get the most out of it . Honestly a better 1st mod would be a turboback exhaust. I know its alot more expensive, but you'll get a lot more out of it.

 

well i just got it a couple weeks ago, this is the mod list i have, in order of how it will probly get done:

Hallman MBC
K&N Filter w/adapter from AMS
Walbro Fuel Pump
02 Housing from AMS
Buschur 3" TBE
ECU Tuning Software (friend can tune)
GSC 272 Cams

Hopefully this set up will get me mid-low 12s and 300+ awhp! Im not sure though bought that...clearify if im wrong!

 

Path looks good, but dont forget a fuel pump and headstuds when you do the cams. Depending on the dyno you should make over 300hp easy. I made 292 with just a TBE, intake, MBC, and tune on a DynoDynamics on 93 octane. Thats close to 312 on a Dynojet.

 

yea the fuel pump is my 3rd thing to do! are cam gears wrth it or no when i so the shafts?

 

Its good for fine tuning, but not really needed.

 

Here is my revised set-up, in order:

Hallman Pro RX MBC
K&N Filter and Adapter
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
ECU Flash Tools
02 Housing
BR 3" TBE
GSC 272 Cams
APR Headstuds

Look like everything I need to get mid-low 12s? I dont want to drop abunch of money into it, but I want to break the 300 whp mark, and be in the 12s!

 

Dejon tool or Hallman.
