Let some of the hardcore Evo suspension guru's tell it the MR Bilsteins are more then fine mated to some Swift or GT WORX springs.

 

I run the MR bilsteins with swift springs. Great setup

Looking good OP. I commend you for your patience. lol

 

Very nioce, I wouldn't have the patients to wait so long

 

I'll stick with the Bilsteins as they serve my driving purposes.

Here is a another pic of some items to be installed this week.

Haha, I think I had parts ready for my Evo before I even picked it up from the dealership so good job on staying patient. Looks good so far.

What injectors? You changing up fuel to e-85 or adding meth? Turbo upgrade or plans? Looks like you're doing some work in preparation for future improvements vs. what's needed now. That's exactly the route I did...one of the first things I did with my 8 was build the bottom end and the head. Lookin good

 

5 years? Props to you man. I was stock for 3 years, with the exception of a turbo timer, same reason you had, warranty. Gathered parts, car went from bone stock to where it is today.

 

Keeps us updated really interested props on the patients...video of the exhaust maybe?

 

Fuel Injector Clinic 1100cc high impedance injectors. No plans for e-85 yet. I plan to upgrade to a bigger turbo later down the road (currently eying the CBRD BBK-B). Definitely prep work for bigger and badder things.

Haha. Thanks. Yes, seeing how this was my first performance car, I wanted to be cautious, so I waited for warranty to expire. What's it look like today?

I will snap a video of the car once I get it back. Hopefully tomorrow or Sunday.

Same thing I'm doing gathering up parts before I even get my Evo
Lol well the right one needs to come along white Evo 9
Good way of building in my opinion get all your stuff you want then do a bum rush of installs all at once great!!

 

Finally got a chance to get it tuned.



This was with 21psi on 93 pump in 90+ degrees weather. Pumped the boost up to 25 - 26psi but my stock bov wasn't holding boost. Another thing to get, then back to tuning to see how much I can pull. Initial Map (no mods) vs Latest Map (With Mods). I can't complain about the increase in new power. =)

Nice! What are your mods?

 

She must be a hell of al ot quicker..Sweet 365 is pretty solid power.

 

sweet thread. are you doing all the installation yourself? how about tuning? for someone with their first performance car you doing a very good job. very nice.

 

All the basic bolt-ons, intercooler, S2 cams and ARP headstuds along with some other small things.

Definitely feels like night and day in my opinion.

I did some, had some help on other parts and had a friend help me with the tune. I am definitely happy with how the car turned out and it's only the beginning.
