my stage one mods are on the way mbc, safc-2, intake, turbo back exhaust, ground wire kit. i was wondering what times to expect with these mods

 

I'd say mid 12's if you know how to drive. What kinda PSI are you running? Is your SAFC dyno tuned?

 

i dont have all the parts yet most of them are already on the others should be here wedsday
19 or 20lbs

 

i know that the buschur and UR cars are running mid 12s i was just asking if anyone else has been able to repeat those results

 

Where did you pick up this "stage I" kit, and what did it run you? Or did you just purchase all of the parts a la carte so to speak?

 

most of these items are in URs stage one package but i bought them separately

 

i keep hearing this bs over and over again, how you drive will make .10 sec difference in an evo. If it was a 800hp supra, how you drive would make a difference. on an evo you need to know how to change gears and operate the clutch.
Rev it to 5500rpm and off you go.

Mid 12's, hmm it depends on humidity and temp. My best was 13.87 on a humid day

 

ground wire kit will make as much difference as f&f stickers on a civic (extra 50hp), get real
with those mods anything below 13 would be nice, nowhere close to mid 12's

 

Which stage one should I get, DVD with Type R decal or 20" Spinners with air bags?

 

I've removed my muffler bearings and ported the exhaust studs, with my 150 shot of noz i should hit the 9's no prob.

 

safc-2

bandaid...

 

Seems like most people running those mods are in the 12.8 or so range, but a lot depends on driver, conditions, and how strong your car was to begin with.

And if you think someone with little to no skill can hop into one of these cars and run consistently close to an experienced driver, you really need to get out of your happy place more often. I have seen same car, same day, different drivers run over a half second different or more.

I consider myself fairly sarcastic, but some of you guys are pushing the cutting edge...

 

What's the solution then?

 

SAFC is a very elementry way of controlling your ecu! It is a hack programer that tricks your ecu into running leaner or richer (which ever you choose). There are no safety parameters like a knock warning, data logger, timing pull if you get into dangerous conditions, etc. there are too many variables in tuning! Especially in a car that is boosted! You need to be able to adjust your timing, to match your air/fuel mixture as well as your boost. There are too many variables to do manual adjusting of your cam sprockets, and you boost controler!

Guys you just spent over 30,000 on your car! This isnt a honda civic!!! Dont use a honda civic style ECU tuner! I know they are much more in expensive than a stand alone, but really what is another 500 to 700 dollars to get the absolute best AND safest performance for your car?

Turbo XS is releasing a UTEC (the number one engine mgmt system that revolutionized tuning the WRX) for the EVO. check out all the features of this engine mgmt system! It is super impressive! I had one of these in my WRX and it was un believeable!

UTEC FAQ

How does the UTEC increase EVO engine performance?

By allowing the user to tune more aggressive ignition timing, air fuel ratios and boost curves. With 36 RPM sites from 250 RPM to 9000 RPM and 10 load sites, the UTEC gives you 360 possible map points for fuel, ignition timing, and boost.

 

That is why you only ran a 13.8



BTW grounding kits on some cars do help ALOT.. Not sure about the evo.. Alot of cars have bad factory grounds that cause loss of power and hesitations sometimes.
