I've recently purchased an 03 Evo VIII. The car has 59XXX miles on it and is due it's major service. I live in Glendale Heights and I was thinking of bringing my car to AMS to have it's service done. I'm not sure what work you'd recommend on the car. I know it's had new plugs fitted recently but I'm more concerned about having the fluids changed and a cam belt replacement. I've also bought some used HKS cams (272 in and ex) and I'd like these fitted. Would you recommend that the cam belt tensioner and water pump is replaced at this point? Do I need pulleys? I've heard a lot of people saying I don't

I'd also like to get the car tuned and dynoed. Can you guys tune the Exede as my car has this fitted ( I suspect that this is becoming obsolete )

I'd also like to work out a tuning strategy for my car and discuss with you what mods I should do and when. My car is my daily driver and I would like to get my car somewhere between 400 and 500 at the wheels. I plan to get into track days and maybe auto x Something that’s reliable without putting to much strain on her. Perhaps you can recommend a figure to aim for.

Here is a link to a thread about my car with its mod list.

From what I've researched I feel I need the following:
Replacement for the Exede (its useless if no one can tune it)
Boost controller ( I assume the Exede controls this, would I need a new boost controller?)
FMIC and piping- your intercooler looks good!
Fuel pump - Walbro 255
Turbo kit - I was thinking AMS gt35r
Induction Kit - I was thinking Blitz SUS as I like the stainless filters.
O2 housing - not sure what to go for here.
Injectors - What CC would you suggest?

Also I'm curious about meth injection, stroker kits, intake manifold and much much more.

I need some advice lol Please help

 

Dear Kins,

You should go to AMS website and copy+paste this into their Contact Us section. I highly doubt they will read this. Or you could just ask this here knowledgeable community. Most here can tell you the same thing AMS would tell you.

 

Oh I'm guessing a clutch too!

 

Thanks I was thinking that but I thought I'd direct them to this link then I could could get advice from Evo M users too.

 

a 35r on a stock block is too way laggy for autox...even track days I'd still go with a 50 trim/30r/20g-lt

if you go with a 35r the walbro is going to be on the brink of not being enough...you'll need a better fuel system

I personally like the buschur intake set up (I have a hks rs but am going to change that out)


60k is recommended to change the water pump and belt I believe so yes you should have that done along with the engine oil and tranny/diff fluids

your best bet is below...

AMS has their own sub forum on here

scroll down to the vendor area or pm AMS

 

good luck my friend.
and just a piece of advice ..
never buy a used Internal parts .

 

So pretty much you'll need about $7,000 to do all that.. LOL j/k

 

I'd repost this in AMS's section.

 

Here is the thread in the AMS section.

Thanks
