My fellow EvoM members, I am in dire need of some good advice from people more knowledgeable about our cars than me. Long story short I have only had my car for a year and a half, and it has been down for 6 months now. I rushed into a build that I was not ready for being a broke college student, and a nood to the Evo game. I was just informed that my injectors (1000cc) are too small for my turbo (PTE3282) and E85. However, I plan on building a 2.3stroker once I graduate to help with lag. So my question is:

A) Keep my car down until I get the money for E85 and lose drivability

B) Stick with 1000cc injectors, get tuned for 93, keep drivabililty and wait for the 2.3 build

C) Other

Any input is much appreciated, and thanks for your time .

 

I miss driving my car, and getting frustrated seeing it down.

 

What are your powergoals? Why would you start a build with missing parts or $? your in college, i hope your not a business major. who talked you into a 3282 turbo?

 

Keep the injectors, sell the turbo, and buy a cheap Evo 9 turbo and manifold....The car will be fun and well suited for the street...

 

I would say, tune for 93 and enjoy your car. In the meantime you can save money and do alot of research on your specific build.

 

Buy a cheaper stock like turbo so you can enjoy driving the car until you have the money for your dream build.

 

lol no im not a business major. My car was first down becuase I had to do some work on the tranny. While it was down I figured I would upgrade some stuff. At the time I was talking to Slowboy racing who suggested the 3282. I had the money but then some bills came up in the middle of the build, so here I am now. I want power but I want to be able to drive it on the street.

 

Sounds like someone was trying to get rid of an overstock.You sure its not a 3582?. Do you have, a manifold for that turbo? a down pipe? oil/ water lines? headbolts? cams? ect ect.? what clutch? How many miles are on the car?

 

Yeah I got everything but the injectors, but now its looking like if I complete my build it wont be very streetable. I have:

T3 manifold
It is a Precision Turbo and Engine GT3282R
Tail44mm waistgate
new headgasket, and studs
fuel pump
fuel rail
exedy clutch
272 cams
greddy bov
greddy boost controller

Working on COP kit

 

I see you had a bbk full, how did you like it?

 

HTA Green is faster IMHO...spool is almost stock like, but I am putting down 450whp + ... having response and power are great for a street car (unless you like driving around town at 5,000 rpm).

 

cool , Im goin to look into that
