Cool thanks I have that manifold on the way to my house as we speak im gonna clean it up and add a brace should be good Evotech done the same to this manifold and was able to squeeze 500hp out of a 50trim turbo best of luck on your build evrything looks well thought out and clean

 

Thank you. I am working on hiding some of the wiring on the car, especially the batt cables from the relocation. I am also trying to build my own COP to help with a low RPM p0300. That and adding a vacum pump to pull crank case pressure out.

 

The car looks great Will. We will get rid of that P300 if it's the last thing on this earth ...

BTW, working on your maps tonight ... feel good with the extra boost?

 

great thread! im going through the same mess now, my evo 8 blew. im gonna try n post pics up also like you did.. Where did you send the tranny/transfer case? i know usually with a 30/35/37r upgrade the tranny/transfer case wont hold up.

 

Actually there are plenty of people running stock tc and trans with those turbo upgrades. I know scorke and mellon both have stock trans/tcases on 550+ whp cars with out probs.

So yeah, other than a TSB update on my trans & twin disk, everything is stock drivetrain wise

 

The few times I have been able to get on it (i didnt load the map until thrus) it loves the boost. The 2psi increase diff made a big improvement. It also sounds better (when under WOT)

The Guss mod to the Evo9 diverter valve really makes a differences. It now holds psi strongly, and it now sounds alot louder even recirculated.

 

u said in one of ur reply's that u took the engine out from the top how did you manage that, seems kinda difficult to do?

 

No, not difficult.

You just unbolt the t/c from trans, pull the axles, unbolt the p/s and a/c pumps, unbolt crank pully, unbolt and remove all 4 mounts, remove center crossmember and strut bar. Hook the engine hoist chains just off center of the engine/trans combo towars the cam sproket side of the engine. Pull hood off. Lift combo as high as possible, then pick up on the transmission and rotate out.

Between me and Brandon (upstateevo) we had it out with in 2-3 hours, but we were very effecient in removing the transmission & transfercase bolts because that was our 2nd-3rd one we had dont that month.

 

IT LIVES!!!
