No words.... just

I can't wait to get a ride!!! That torque has got to be something else!!

Btw, isn't it awesome that we have $3.5x/gallon 100oct around the corner here in chi-town!! You gotta love Gas-City in Schaumburg!!! Support them!!!! We don't wanna lose this luxury!!

 

Damn, that must be nice.

 

Here are some dyno graphs for you guys to check out.

First one is at 22.5psi as you can read form the dyno sheet. The trick to broadening the powerband was good head porting and the AEM. I must emphesize that head porting, if done incorrectly, can make you a dyno queen but actually not make your car any faster. Would you rather have 10 more hp from 7200rpm to 7500rpm, or 10hp across the board to 7000rpm.? that's why FIA rally cars kick *** because they have so much area under the power-curve. Hogging ports out as big as you can get them and flaring intake/exhaust ports is the wrong way! I did an EVO head article in the upcoming issue of Modified Mag and I explain why we have to be carefull in modifiying heads.

Nice gains huh?

This one is of a stock dyno run vs. our EVO VIII (stage III)
From the sheet it looks like spool up increased by 1000rpm, but you have to remember that the two graphs are not at the same boost level. When we cranked the stock turbo to 25psi spool up was only about 500-600rpm slower with our turbo kit.

This one shows that with the head work and the AEM EMS we are making more power everywhere in the RPM range at 25.5psi than before at 29psi.

And lastly the 551whp pull at 27psi. I didn't go WOT till about 4500rpm because that put me past peak torque. I did this to stress the engine less and to avoid such high torque on the stock rods. I was just being cautious

Just to answer some questions, the items that are still STOCK on the engine are:

Stock complete ignition system
Stock Bottom end (rods, pistons, main bolts, rod bolts, ect..)
Stock throttle body and intake manifold
Stock headgasket (but head has receiver groove cut for a copper o-ring)

We are now offering the head package we tested here and are also designing stock sized forged pistons so the block can just be honed and these dropped in (we can do .020" over right now). We have rods already available and offer full motor build-ups for the EVO VIII.
I'll also have some AEM maps and tune-ups that are going to be available at no charge to our AEM customers. \

-Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone!

 

This is great, it's nice to have a shop within driving distance that can satisfy all your Evo needs
