sorry for off topic post, Assassin: How is your act street clutch holding up? Mine is being installed as i type this and will be outa the shop tomorrow. Does it hold power pretty good? Is there a difference on the reaction time from the stock clutch? Just give me as much info as you can without going outa your way. thx.

Back on topic. I had it stock....got mbc and felt a little difference, then got dynoflash...big difference, after that i put dp test pipe and greddy ti. WOW, even bigger difference. thought it would be enough, but here i am with the car in the shop and getting 272's put in along with my clutch and a jdm mr bov. I still want to do more!!!! lol, i told my wife when i bought it that it was the perfect car as it sat....hehehe.

 

Mine is a daily driver, in town, and it's not bad at all. Yeah, there are times when you want to speed up a LITTLE and end up flying down the road...but you get used to your exact turbo lag pretty quickly.

 

yea i didn't think so but i wanted some other people who were running that much hp to chime in, thanks! i think im going to be giving turbotrix a call soon!!!

 

Yea Thats my Goal 2...To have 420Hp EVO

 

seriously the first week i had my IX i thought everyone making more power must be completely out of their mind... now i'm totally down for another 100whp... it doesnt change the fact that its still completely nutz for the street, but you do get used to it.

 

shoot I'm just looking for 300awhp. that's all I want for now.

 

what are you talking about? lambos and ferraris have like 450whp. and the new Z06 has about 450whp and it is lighter than evo. 350whp is nothing compared to that! I find that 500whp very streetable!

 

My Evo's making 440 whp and not bad at all for a daily driver. If your not on the gas heavy it has stock drivability. At wide open throttle it is a beast though.

 

My Evo is Stock Soo idk How it Feels to have it Modded........Sorrie To take over the Thread ......Im planing On adding this mods..to my Evo....
3"Helix Catback Exhaust
3"Helix Test Pipe
3"Helix DownPipe
MBC (22PSI)
Injen Intake System with Uper Ic Pipeing
AMS Lower IC Pipeing
Comp 280s Cams
Apr HeadStuds
Walbro
Maybe a Front Mount Intercooler Too.
And a Tune From Turbotrix...How Much HP do you think that will be at the Crank and how much to the Wheels!?

What to make it ready For the Imporst Vs Domestics :-D

 

My car is pretty loud and loopy from the cams, but what took me the longest to get used to was the twin-disk clutch. (Chatterbox) As someone else has mentioned, stay out of boost as much as possible and streetability should be fine. High torquey engines want to wind-out as much as they can, so you will have to be careful not to cut it loose. I am looking at either upgrading to another turbo at some point, or some additional bolt-ons to give me around 430Hp on a dynojet. Considereing the FP 3065 turbo at some point

 

Mine has 400+whp on pump and its freaking awesome. On race gas, it's just stupid. If you hit boost, that's the only time you will use that whole 400whp. Just stay off boost or hit low boost when you drive and you'll be fine. You are going to love 400whp.

 

"what are you talking about? lambos and ferraris have like 450whp. and the new Z06 has about 450whp and it is lighter than evo. 350whp is nothing compared to that! I find that 500whp very streetable!"

Really, only ~10% driveline loss on the new Z06?

 

I'm at 348 and it is fun to drive.

 

thats perfect if you ask me...

 

I agree with you guys on too much horsepower is never enough, when i first got my IX, i was so amazed by how fast it pulled, a few weeks later, it feels slow because I'm so used to it so instead of modding, I take my brother 2.5 RS impreza for a ride and when i get back into my evo, it feels just as fast as the first day i bought it...well not really but you guys get the point .
