Ok so im new to evo's(had a dsm before) and Im picking up a evo hopefully next week and want to throw a gt35 kit on it and was wondering what all supporting mods ill need and what the best kit would be to go with.

 

You are going to catch some sh*t from many members, but I'll give you a few suggestions.

1) Turbo back exhaust
2) Boost controller
3) Injectors/Fuel pump
4) Intercooler

These are the basic necessities only. If you want to maximize the potential of the 35r, you will need many other parts as well. These are only the parts that I am working with currently.

Are you picking up a IX?

 

no its a 8, and it already has cams, injectors, clutch, flywheel, and just catback but i think most kits come with a dp and everything

 

Most kits do, yes, but you'll need a test pipe. You will also need some form of alcohol injection or some race gas to be able to boost 30+ pounds. Also, some head studs if the car doesn't already have them, although this topic is debatable.

 

ya i can just get a test pipe made for $25 haha, and ill have to have alcohol injection? i only want to run like 25psi because the car is my dd

 

Make it easy for you,
Your not gonna open your hood and throw a big turbo in it, and call it a day.
The supporting mods you'll need for that turbo with install and tuning,the right way is going to set you back ALOT!
If you have an unlimited budget bring you car to AMS,Buschur,ect...ect...
and throw 30 grand at them.

 

Ok well honestly, if you are only trying to run 25psi, there are much better turbo options for you to optimize the powerband.

 

haha those places are all across the country from me, but my budget isnt too slim...i just want a basic street setup for now and i know im gonna need the aem engine management. whats the best 35 turbo kit for the money besides buschur and ams? i was looking at the hpf one and it seemed legit

 

Ets

 

I have a similar question sorry not trying to hijack the thread but what HP is the stock clutch and stock FMIC in an evo8 MR good for? I have a greddy t67 kit about to go on and I know they put down about 410 whp on pump and was wondering if I will need a new clutch and FMIC?

 

A 35R at 25 psi for daily driving is a poor choice to begin with. All the lag, none of the power.

 

I would suggest a FMIC. I am still on the stock clutch, but plan to get a new one next year. If you can afford one, get a clutch, otherwise just use the stocker until you need a new one.

 

You got a PM.

 

well then what would you recommend? im not too worried about the lag i just want something thats gonna put down 400+whp

 

I'm definitely getting the intercooler, but I just read something else that worried me. How much HP or psi can the stock head of an evo8 handle? (wow I'm really hijacking this thread... sorry!!!)
