So I posted a while ago that I may be getting a evo8 but that ended up not happening and got a 98 GSX. Well my friend has a 2005 Evo 8. I took a lot of pictures of anything that looked aftermarket and I was just wondering if anyone could help me figure out what parts they are?

The boost controller looks cheap but I'm not sure.
Defi boost gauge (car runs 18-19psi)
Evo9 bov?
JDM rear bumper?
The downpipe is wrapped and looks to be 3", Idk if there is a way to tell which one it is.
Stock turbo manifold?
Bushcur Racing 3" w/ Magnaflow?
Evo MR Floor Matts
Stock HID?
The intake pipe is black and I can't find any markings on it.
No markings on the filter either.
The intercooler couplers say ets on them. The intercooler is about 3" wide. Are these stock intercooler pipes and a stock core? or are they ETS?
The o2 housing looks to have a stamp on it but I can't read it?
It has gram lights. Anyone know what kind?
Evo MR Shift Knob?
The car sits low does this look like stock suspension?
CF timing cover.


If anyone can confirm any of these parts or if you see anything that I missed any help would be appreciated. We would like to know where the car stands and if any of these parts are bad and should be removed.

If you start on page 2 at the last photo and work your way back the photos will be in order with my questions otherwise they uploaded backwards.

 

I checked the pictures and as what i can see you have the following mods:

carbon fiber timing belt cover
Mr bilestein suspension but it seem that the springs have been change bcuz the stock ones are in black your springs are red.
stock mr shift knob
stock oil cooler
upgraded lower intercooler pipe
upgraded intercooler seems to be ets
stock upper intercooler pipe
O2 housing is upgraded as well i couldn't read the name either.
evo 9 metal bov
upgraded intake pipe
cone air filter
stock intake manifold
xenon hid front lights evo 9
evo 9 rear taillights
JDM rear bumper
stock exhaust manifold
an upgraded boost controller but get the hallman boost controller its the best
turbo back exhaust system with a catalyst don't know if its a mangaflow or no stainless downpipe most probably 3 inch i'm not sure the only way to know is to measure it

And make sure the car is tuned because your boost seems to be stockish and with these mods you will need a tune.

let me know if you need anything else.

 

The O2 housing looks a lot like mine which is a Tomei Expreme.

 

Thank you for the reply. The shocks said "mach pro" or something like that I don't remember exactly. Are the bilestiens stock? Thank you and I thought the boost controller needed replaced. I have a hallman pro on my dsm.

Also the car was tuned and had a test pipe on it but the tune and test pipe were removed according to the dealer he got the car from. When I follow him in my car he looks like he is running really rich when he gets on it.

 

Okay cool, is there anything unique about it that I could go look on the o2 to Verify its that one? Thanks.

 

Looks to be a ETS black intake pipe (pipe only)
The O2 housing also appears to be a Megan Racing O2 housing becuase mine looks identical especially after 10k all the badging wears off

 

Your welcome when he was on full thortle was there any black smoke if there was the car is running rich at full load the car should be around 11.3 afr get the car tune checked or check it yourself if you have a wideband and get a boost leak test done as well

 

Oh awesome, would there be any markings on the intake pipe? And I was thinking the o2 housing looked like a Megan one but I wasnt positive thanks for the info about the wear!

 

Yeah it's black when he is full throttle that's how I know he is running rich because there is no wideband in the car right now. Wideband, test pipe, and tuning supplies are next on the list once the maintenece is finished. Boost leak test will also be done very soon.

 

Ttt

 

The ETS intake will not have any markings on it they only have badging on their couplers.

 

i happened to browse through the photos and noticed that your friends uicp has worm clamps, if he plans on upping the boost they will blow right off, get t-bolts from siliconeintakes.com. i had that problem at about 25ibs of boost on the stock 8 turbo, swapped for t-bolts no problem since, just my .02

 

On My megan o2 housing Im pretty sure that the o2 sensor is on the other side of the o2 housing!. I may be mis remembering right now!.
