Just a note to update progress:

Hit 383 at the wheels at 1.6 bar... No bottle, no piggyback, stock injectors and stock fuel pump.

Here is what is on so far:

AVO intercooler
borla cat back exhaust
custom downpipe
Garrett GT40
hallman boost controller
fuel cut defender
rmr intake
custom manifold with thermal coating
avo bov recirc version

I was planning to just do the aem ecm but they said "a while" as in 4- to 6 weeks and after hearing the exact same thing ... "4- to 6 weeks ago", I picked up the boost controller and went to work.

After 3 dyno runs at 1.6 bar we hit 383.2 whp! very linear power delivery. More rpm = More Hp. Less peaky than stock. Kind of deceptive on the power delivery... you just arrive at the turn 20 mph faster!

Fuel/air was still pig rich at 10-1. No ecu flash, no piggyback just nice linear power...

Bottom line: the evo 8 is capable of 400 at the wheels with stock internals and basic bolt ons...

No fancy electronics are needed! Mitsu made it easy setting the fuel/air so rich. Figure we could of picked up 2 more psi but I am being conservative! Only downside was the intercooler hose wasn't tight enough on the turbo and blew right off!!! I fixed it but has got me thinking about going all silicon

Here is the turbo:

 

wait a second... u got a GT40 turbo?.. what kit is that?

u definitely need to tune it better..

can't figure out anything from the dyno sheet tho...

u must be joking.. good one!

 

big ups to u verry impressed and now I want 300Plus whp now

 

yeah...you kinda get addicted to it!

 

Renn art-

This was before tuning. I don't want to do piggyback so I will wait for the aem ecm... Just wanted to point out the inherent awesome power in this motor...

 

Pretty impressive for no tuning... Can you tell us what exhaust manifold that is?

 

custom cast with ny resist thermal coating very large with pretty equal length each port is a lot larger than the stock but it still fits under stock heat shield and tapped for stock mounting locations of the shield. You put on the shield and you have to look real hard to know the car isn't stock! Can you say sleeper

whoever made that should mass-produce it.. it looks real nice!

 

hmmmmmm....with your turbo and manifold i could have well close to 400whp or even more when tuned with my setup
soo.. can you get me your setup??

 

That exaust manifold is NICE!! Where could i pick one of those up? Is it just for the garret GT40? I might have to get a set up like that.

 

VERY nice numbers on no piggyback / ECU mods!!! Major props, that thing is running pig rich - you've got lots of room for improvement (and a big safety margin to boot).

I want that manifold! Gimme it f00!

Hey was that run done on pump gas? If so, get you a cheap piggy back like an AFC just for now and I bet you can beat Al's setup which put out 400whp on pump gas.

 

With C16 race fuel and a big show of NAWS (heh), I'm sure you could post some amazing 500+ hp dyno plots, too . Graduate from the WWF school of marketing and you too can be annoying and make some money with affiliations with tuning shops until your WWF big head starts to inflate.

Serisouly though that is awesome! It's not too surprising though, 350 whp is quite common around here with very few mods on the stock turbo. When you're ready to spend a little more those big turbos can net another 150 whp with some fuel and timing adjustments.

Take that thing out to a road course and shoot some video of that thing ripping up the track!

 

can you please let us know where can we but this turbo setup and how much if you dn't mind me asking? i am very interested in this setup.

thanks

 

Turbo and manifold are a kit:

They have been very mellow and taken care of me so far...

Having a dyno to separate the bs and the right attitude helps.

Work as part of avo dev team- all track though. I have now idea if they will sell manifolds solo. Ask for Roshon
