I bought my 03 Evo VIII this past June while I was home on R&R from Iraq. The car had 74k miles, Helix intake, BR downpipe, BR exhaust, JIC coilovers, Greddy EBC, ect.. ect.. tuned to about 370whp on E85.

Since I have been back in Iraq I have spent way too much money and Fathouse of Fathouse Fabrications now has the car and will be doing some work and tuning. Car will be tuned to around 500whp on e85 and will also have a 91oct tune.

Parts going in:
BR solid rear diff mounts
Titek o2 housing
FatFab turbo manifold
ETS upper/lower I/C piping
Tial bov
AMS small battery kit
PTE 1200 cc injectors
modded Walbro pump
FP Red 84mm
FP 84mm intake
GSC S2 cams
GSC lifters
GSC valve springs
APR headstuts
new belts associated with this, ect.. ect..

I have tons of other parts but those will be waiting to go on later this month, early next month after I get back from Iraq.

The car had GSC 264 cams in it before, appearantly they ground down real bad and left metal flakes all inside the head. Head got pulled and cleaned before everything else went back in with the new cams.

Is this on a stock bottom end?...I didn't see a built motor on your mod list?

 

Looks nice! Cant wait to see his manny, he always does good fab work.

 

yes, it is on stock bottom end

 

yes he does! im excited to see how this manifold turns out since it's the first one he's done for a stock frame turbo

 

e85 tuning ended at 505whp @ 32psi lastnight. There is still more left, but I'm going to wait until the new manifold gets done and I get it on.

91oct tune tonight.
