Well I just got the car back about 2 weeks ago. Had it repainted, had all the dings and scratches removed, had a OEM style all CF wing put on and had the rear trunk badges put on but I got the ones that are the UK style and say Evolution VIII and go across the center of the trunk.

So anyways I decided I wanted just a little bit more power for the summer and I prolly wont do anymore to the engine ill prolly just try to dress the car up a little bit and keep it lookin real nice but I just thought id share with you guys and gals what I got for my stage 1 upgrades thanks to the help of STM(street tuned motorsports)


Just ordered:

AEM UEGO wideband.
AEM digital boost gauge and oil pressure gauge
Test Pipe
Turbo XS downpipe
Hallman Pro boost controller (black)
Gauge pod (going to have the gauges in the center under my radio)
B&M short throw shifter
Turning boost up from stock 19psi to 22psi

The car is being tuned along with the ECU getting flashed.


Im hoping a nice solid gain a little more power to the wheels out of this then I am going to focus on little things and clean everything up and keep it that way because the car doesnt get driven in ****ty weather or the winter anymore so it could use some cleaning up from the previous owners. But lemme know whatcha think!


Edit: I made it sound like after this I wasnt doing anything to the motor ever again lol. I meant most likely I wont this summer cuz ive already spent a pretty penny.

 

Sounds great man. your gonna love the new feeling. Plan on getting a 3in catback?? Maybe a fuel pump as well?

 

Good setup for the start. You'll feel the difference after the tune.

 

Similar process/upgrades im doing right now too. You wont be disappointed with the increase in power just from a few of the upgrades. Let us know what power you put down after your tune/flash.

 

Woops forgot to mention I already have a DC sports catback on and im leaving that on for now but eventually I might go with a greddy evo 2 catback or a HKS. The catback wasnt that well maintained by the previous owner so who knows. I also forgot to mention in my list that I did order a fuel pump lol. Hopefully my basis are covered and once this stage is complete im going to focus on cleaning the engine and making it look real nice.

 

Ill have to see where the nearest dyno is. There might be one in NJ but ill have to figure it out because the only other one I know of is the one at burshur racing in ohio that would be a few hrs away. Maybe ill save up for a dyno run at the end of the summer.
