Well I have a fair amount of mods done to my evo... I am not sure where I should go next with the car... Performance wise

I plan to change the brakes next but that will happen regardless. Was wondering what performance mods next? I think my next thing is a turbo/internals?

Here is my current setup.. I'm probably missing some things.. I'm tuned at 26psi

AMS Intercooler w/ AMS LICP and UICP
HKS SSQ BOV (recirculated)
Samco Silicone Intake w/ Apexi filter
Megan Racing Exhaust Manifold
10.5 Hotside
02 housing
Invidia 3" Downpipe
Perrin 3" Test Pipe
HKS Carbon CBE
BC 280 Cams
HKS Cam Gears
Hallman Pro Boost Controller
Precision 880cc injectors
W255 Pump
Perrin fuel rail

 

Get rid of that ****ty manifold and get an o2 housing. What are your horsepower goals?

 

better manifold and ams widemouth dp

 

I agree with 1upmoto, the manifold is known to crack. I would get a stock manifold and port it. Also, personally would ditch the hks ssqv and upgrade to a Synapse or even a metal dv. Is E85 local in your area?

 

manifold has been on for over 60k with no problems. Already have an 02 housing for got to add that

No complaints with mine as of now I'll look into that thank you!
Will also look into this, might I ask why though? I havent run into problems with it..? Was on the car when I bought it.

and unfortunately not closest e85 is over an hour away at the boston airport

 

If the manifold is working for him, why bother getting rid of it? I can understand perhaps being cautious about purchasing one with all the "bad" reviews, but the bad reviews are mostly them cracking. If his isn't cracked... then why ditch it?

I'd say snag an O2 housing as well. You could always do some port matching, but realistically turbo stuff and internals are probably up next. Maybe E85?

 

the megan mani hasnt had a great record when it came to cracking. even if its fine right now, down the road it could end up coming back to bite u. alotttt of members have had that problem, i would sell it and get a better one, especially since you dont have anything else on your mind to get. ets makes a great one imo. just better to play it safe then end up being sorry in the end. just my opinion though.

 

Not just the cracking but im pretty sure it doesnt flow any better than stock. It might even flow worst.

 

I'm not going to ditch it until I have to. I see no need to? Saves me money for now.. heh.

I already have an 02 Housing Cant do E85. Only one station here in mass and its over an hour and a half away
I see you're point, but if I have had no problems with it so far I see no point changing it. yet. If/when it cracks I'll move on. but for now it has been fine

But I agree with your thoughts.
Hm... I'm gonna dyno it and see what my numbers are looking like and go from there.

 

STM ported IM, BR Ported TB 65mm, BR ported Exhaust manifold, better cam, spoolin up COP, tial QR or synapse, 02 housing, stock appering turbo (Fp Black).

 

I'll look into that thanks! I already have the 02 housing whats wrong with my Cams..? 280s run like HKS 272's I have no complaints, but I certainly want the Tial QR. Gotta sell my wheels before I can get a FP black

 

I dont want to get into a giant debate, they just arent the greatest of cams, and the hks 272's are a pretty tame cam. All depends on ur build. i might be going a little to aggressive, whats your exact goal? i have the tial qr myself and can give you feedback once the car is done. im about four weeks from being completely being built, doing timing belt this weekend. anyway though if you decide to go with the fp black it makes great power up top and you'll need a cam that will support the powerband where the black shines and give you that amazing mid-upper powerband range. I would suggest s2, fp4r, or keldford 272. cant go wrong with either of those and will work really well with the stock frame turbo especially the black.
