Ok, so I've been debating for the past for few months about where to head with my mods and I've decided that I want to run on the stock turbo with at least 400 whp. After that I'd just like to tune it for then track and occasional runs on mountain passes (cause my parents live close to the App Mountains) so I can go driving there every once in a while.

This is what I currently have on the car:

-3" ETS FMIC
-Injen UICP and LICP
-Walboro 255
-Greddy Exhuast
-Running about 20 psi on MBC (road tune by my friend)

What would you guys recommend for my next few mods? Any advice would be greatly appreciated cause I'm still saving up right now for the mods this summer. Thanks!

 

Plenty of great ideas in this thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-100-time.html

 

Highest gains will be injectors and switching to some E-85. You will notice a great torque and HP gain with that small stock turbo.

If you are not near E-85 or any other form of race gas, you have some serious work to get to 400 hp. A set of good cams (depends on if you have an VIII or IX) Kelfords are a nice setup and a good start.

We need a little more information on your setup, VIII, IX. How much money do you have to spend and over what time are you looking to get to 400?

 

agreed more information about your car is needed and spending limit

 

Where about in NC do you live?? There are a ton of us around the Raleigh/Fayetteville area....Shoot Justin @ Force-Fed Performance a PM...

 

400whp on stock turbo? Id add injectors(1200cc's at least), E85, headstuds, and porting.

 

cams, meth or e85 and a good tune

 

It can be done with pump gas (no meth) with a proper setup. Headstuds aren't needed either since the factory seal is very strong.

 

My 2 cents, I like to mod both interior and engine bay. Each time I mod something in the engine bay, I try to do something different to make the interior more "me" as well.

 

Well, I drive an IX MR. I use to live in NC in the Hickory area, but right now I'm stationed in Augusta, GA. Going to be TDY-ing to Savannah here in a few weeks so I'll be closer to TTP. Yeah, I'd like to get 400 whp on pump gas (93).

I plan to use about $2k to $3k to mod within the next 4-6 months.

Any more info you guys/gals need to help me make some good decision just ask.

 

cams are a great way to gain alot of power and keep it through entire rev range. also injectors if you wanna run the stock turbo and boost more. but its gonna take alotttt more work than that to get to 400whp on 93 oct gas

 

Will be happy to work with you when you get stationed closer.

Let us know when you are ready to get your build underway!

Thanks
TTP

 

400whp? Depends on which dyno. You should be more concerned with overall gains or trap speed instead of peak whp numbers...since peak whp numbers don't really mean anything. Gains or trap speed are a true indication of the real power your car is putting down.

 

I have an IX MR as well. I just boutght my car a few months ago, however, I have heard from many many people that our MR 6-speed is not as strong as the 5-speed that all the other cars have. Not saying it cant support 400hp, but I would be careful!

 

wont be happening on mustang dyno
