Well im going back to school and its a 30 to 40 min drive one way mon-thurs and My Evo is my DD, So i want to have some fun with it. Im wanting good mid range street use HP and somthing safe to drive and to give hell to when it calls for it. So my goal is set at 350 to 375 AWHP on my 03 Evo VIII.

My setup I have in mind :

UICP and LICP (not sure yet what brand to go with just yet)
Greddy Type S BOV (on the way)
Greddy catback Ti Exhaust
Quick Time Electric Cutout Down Pipe (from quick time performance)
HKS Intake (already have)
MBC
Dyno and Street Tune from Forged Performance in Marietta, GA ( Heard they where really good )

Any other thought on what i might need to get or have i covered it all for my HP goals?

 

just port & coat your mani get a 9 turbo, MBC, LICP and i believe thats it.

 

woops double post

 

Thats it? Sounds to easy lol

I thought about a megan racing turbo manifold, think that would cover mani part?

 

yea, its been talked about plenty of times that a stock mani is about the same as an aftermarket one as long as the stocker is ported and coated, i forgot to add on my top post to throw in some E85 and you shouldnt have a problem.

But if you insist on getting aftermarket Mani id say either ETS or the fullrace stock replacements.

 

You are on the right track. My recommendations:

255 fuel pump
MBC
Buschur UICP / LICP
Buschur Street FMIC
TBE
Intake
Ported Exhaust manifold
(If you want to go extreme you can get cams)
Mellon Tune.

That = Goal achieved, comeplete happiness, and maybe a little more power.

 

good stuff ed...we have a staged upgrade list here to help you know what to expect on pump gas at least:

get rid of that megan manifold. they are junk and crack.

not all tubular manifolds are thin and crack. get a good quality piece and it will last, not some mass produced, made of cheap thin metal junk(megan manifold)

 

thanks!

 

I don't think the cut out is needed for that amount of hp your shooting for. That money could be put towards more mods

 

dont buy a cheap manifold.. a few of my friends have gone through them one after another even when u wroap them they will start to crack. my friends and i all have ported stock monifolds with power ranging from 360 to 660. do yourself a favor do it right the first time

 

dont waste your money on the BOV guy, total waste for what you want, unless you really need that sound. Also UICP seems to be a low HP to $$ ratio part on a stock turbo car.

 

the stock bov leaks like a mother ******! why wouldnt u buy a upgrade? seems like a smart idea to me

 

as long as it's an OEM IX Diverter Valve it should be okay for 22-24 psi. maybe a little more. no one has mentioned getting a set of mild cams yet?

 

of course they crack if you wrap them. NEVER HEAT WRAP A MANIFOLD N A STREET CAR. i dont care who makes it, you cant heat wrap things on cars that see moisutre
