I will be doing it with ECU flash. For Crag at Spark tech I will be running his ignition on Stock ECU for a little while to see how it does.

I just put the 1200s before lunch. The fuel pressure was 62psi out the top now its 56psi so I need a 2nd pump for sure.

So i wonder why don't more people run hi-comp pistons with smaller turbos like green?... Looks like it's the ticket. Big power and fast spool.

I've been debating back and forth about doing this with a friend of mine. Hopefully, funds allowing, I want to try something like this this winter.

I say you and boys at ETS need to start making dual pump setups for evos. There's only 2 vendors doing it (one wants too much mula and the other is backordered i believe), and market is there, with more and more people using ethanol and bigger than stock turbos!

Why have to have 2 maps always available in case you're out of alky and can't get a refill, when you can have just 1 map/tune for something that comes out your gas tank?

Is the plastic one you're talking about the Hondata gasket?

I can vouch for this, lol. I got my Evo done up by Lucas this week ( which feels SICK!) and the first ride he gave me in his car I wasnt expecting anything as he shifts from 1st to 2nd all normal, then out of no where the car feels like its just hovering!!!! It felt like it was still happening half way through 3rd. This car just feels amazing.

BTW Lucas, that tune is insane. The car feels SOOOO much better, thanks again man!

AMS and others have stated that the stock fuel system with walbro 255l and proper injectors, is capable of supporting up to 700whp. No fuel rail, FPR or twin pump setup required. However if your road racing and worried about running out of fuel in the twistys then go with a surge tank and second fuel pump. For above 700WHP (650 to be safe) The Buscher twin pump set up is nice. Then you would need the fuel rail and FPR; also might think about upgrading to SS braided lines at that point. This is all from what I have been told; please correct me if I am wrong.

Thats on gasoline, the requirements for E85 and E90 are significantly increased.

Did the throttlebody increase boost at all or does this jump in mid-range torque appear to be a VE increase?

I wouldn't have expected gains in the midrange like that with a larger throttlebody unless it just reduced the pressure drop across the throttle plate and ended up increasing the peak boost.
