Hey Guys,
I just got my evo the other day and i absolutely love it! The car is pretty much stock and I am looking to get some more power. I have been looking at different air intakes and I am unsure which ones are the best. I do not know too much about air intakes however I have read that it should have a heat shield to help keep away engine heat. Correct or not? Also do most setups include a spot for the mas? That may be a really dumb question...Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

 

if you have money,injen i have all the IC piping but im sure you can get the short ram. it should bring a set up for the mas sensor

 

might wanna try searching the forums a lil more to answer ur questions. the internet is a helluva drug...

 

My only advise to you is that if you're deciding to do full boltons, ie. intake, turboback exhaust, mbc, etc..... I suggest you do it all at once because the evo doesn't repond well to bolt-ons without a tune, you could run into lean conditions or it just might run like $hit.

 

search first please.

 

So my next question would be what is the best way for me to make power without getting it tuned. I was interested in the Injen intake with the upper and lower ic piping however im a little bit skeptical as to if my car will respond positively to this without a tune.

 

these cars will not make much power w/out a tune. it's not like the old days when u adjusted a carb & went from 13's to 11's. the power potential lies in the ECU...

 

which ever intake youre getting or mod, you still need to get it tune. You will see a difference once your car is tuned!

 

With the Injen kit, you'll need t-bolt clamps.

I'm not a big fan of oiled filters for cars with MAF sensors. I run an Apex'i w/ aluminum box but will be switching to a 4" AEM dryfilter to use with my turbo kit.

 

heat shield is nice but swain coat later down the road is better......

 

get the intake and all the other basic mods... and get a tune after. u will gain some power with juz basic bolt ons but not as much. a Tune up basically brings out the full potential of all the aftermarket parts u've installed and the car with it. But remember.. make sure ur satisfied with all the parts u have before thinking of tuning ur car. have fun modding bro. ( oh and i would go for the injen lol. but imo a drop in is good enuff )
