whats happening everyone, I currently have an 03 evo 8 with 65k. Im looking for things to do next.my goal is to make 450whp. I want this to be a street car. This is my third evo after attempting to build my previous two they were in accidents and taken by insurance. so I decided to buy a car with the basic upgrades you want in an EVO. Mods are as followed:
Hks 264/272 cams. stock valve springs and retainers
megan tbe, stock o2 housing.
buschur street ic with upper and lower piping.
fp evo 9 turbo upgrade
forge DV
bc racing coilovers
whiteline sway bars
mr bbs wheels
walbro 255
hallman in car mbc
act clutch
turco tuned @25psi got it retuned after seeing the terrible timing map from the previous tune

Im thinking about getting the hta fp green with my tax money and 1000cc injectors and upgrading the 264 intake cam to a 272. But I want to make sure the car will still be reliable and wont break on me. maybe a transfer case and tranny upgrade? any suggestions?

 

If I had your Evo I would upgrade the cams and valve springs and retainers. Then buy a new aftermarket intercooler plus go with bigger injectors.

Then go E-85.

 

Get rid of those HKS cams and gain at least 30 more whp there is a start. Some GSC springs and retainers and S2 cams would give you that. Try a ported intake mani, 65mm tb, exhaust mani or a tubular that would be a nice upgrade as well. As for the t case and tranny unless there is something wrong with either of them put the money into better mods. Don't forget a retune and you should make some pretty good #'s from that.

 

I thought the hks cams were pretty good cams. I will look into porting the intake and exhaust manifold and getting another 65mm tb as well. thanks.

 

ive herd good things on the kelford cams im gonna be looking into getting a set

 

new cams...those HKS cams were good in 2004. gsc s2 or kelford 272 along with beehive springs.

if you want to skip the BS, just buy a BBK or FP turbo (with supporting fuel) and meet your goals.

 

You only need 1 65mm tb hahaha

 

you just bought this car from a friend of mine. if it was me i would get gsc cams, springs and retainers, and a bbk full or fp green for your goals. Just for safety maybe get a better clutch and upgrade the trans/ tcase but i dont think those are pressing issues if you dont beat the **** out of it

 

Poor grammar ftw. Lol

 

So eventually ill be pulling these cams out and doing either gsc or kelford cams and doing a hta green with injectors and see where I'm at. Thanks for the feedback

 

How is that poor grammer you said you were gonna get another 65mm tb.

 

+ 1 on the Kelfords

 

Why not look into an ef series turbo from MAP as well?
