Hi guys,

I am in Singapore and the things you guys put in your cars are not always available here.

I installed the following HKS items : intercooler, exhaust manifold, downpipe, intake manifold.

I changed to 770 injectors and had fuel pump, fuel regulator and fuel rails installed. I am running the Trust PEII exhaust. I have done nothing with the cams, valve springs, porting, meth, etc.

I am getting about 55 torque and 412 HP at crank based on a dyno set at 1.1.

My question is : are these results acceptable or do I have a problem in terms of extracting the right power from the car?

I am hoping for some enlightenment. Hope to hear your views.

 

Sounds like your doing great - what kind of fuel do you have there ?

 

That sounds pretty good, cams would be a good next step to get more power out of your car.

 

I am running 98 octane petrol. Was alway told that turbo cars should run that, but perhaps I was wrong.

Cams are great, but they cost alot to do here. We aren't a "do it yourself" culture unfortunately and this means a professional workshop does it for us.

So can I assume that the numbers are looking good? Someone said that 430 - 450 HP at crank is possible on my setup. Was wondering if this is a myth?

 

with high boost yes 450 whp is possible with the green there are guys here with stock cams and high boost at 440 whp go 98 octane man

 

guess the question is how is this dyno'd and what else is under the bonnet. I heard valve springs to reduce compression makes a world of difference.

 

I think you should save some money and put it towards the cams and install. Once they are in you will realy see the value. Your 430 to 450 crank will be no problem. You have pretty good numbers as it is, and I attribute that to your 98 octane! Yes we here in the states put more parts on then you have iavailable it seems, but the majority are using only 93 octane (or 91 for us high altitude evos) and have to either use more expensive gas or supplement with meth. I know its expensive, but you will be happy with the results of adding cams!

 

Valve springs won't really do anything for you at all. Don't do those.

Cams on an EVO9 aren't a big deal like they are on the EVO8, I'd probably skip that considering your situation.

If your local tuner has experience with meth, that would be a very good mod to do. If not, stay away.

If you haven't done an open intake filter and intake box, I'd reccomend that.

The FP green should net you around ~30whp (40crank) vs. a stock turbo on full tilt. Whether thats worth it or not is up to you.

 

Thanks guys. Worth noting. so my numbers are not off the mark.

 

do you have a cat-back...or just downpipe???

 

I have a Trust PEII catback exhaust, downpipe and its been decated.

 

98 oct in singp = 93 oct in the US

 

so the oct is the same then, I gotta figure out here in germany whats the difference, the shell vpower is suppose to be 100oct dont know if its true,i run the 93 from the base,but can definetly telll the difference when its used

 

EDIT: Your numbers look great. Now add octane and you should be good to go.
