Hey everyone. I'm pretty new to the Evo community, and want some of your opinions on this possible mod list that I'm making up. Nothing is set in stone, and all opinions are welcomed. Thanks.

Fp black with inlets and k&n filter
ETS 3.5 fmic, buschur licp
Stock UICP w/ TIAL Q valve
ARP headstuds
Kelford 272 cams
Buschur exhaust w/ resonated test pipe
MAPerformance 02 dump
ID1000cc injectors
Walboro 255
Blox lower engine mount
Spec stage 3+ clutch
RRE lightweight flywheel
FullRace tubular pro-stock manifold with ceramic coating + heat wrap

this is on an 05 Evo 8 with 94xxx miles on it

 

What is your goal?

 

Stock block / head?

 

Yeah still a stock block and head for now. I have been looking at BR though and pricing out the 2, and will probably go with that when funds are more readily available. Pretty much my plan is for a mean DD, that with a couple adjustments, can go and track it on weekends.

 

Track like drag strip or track like road course?

 

Drag strip

 

I would go with a smaller turbo if I was you, especially on a stock block/head. Maybe like an Ef3 or Fp red?

 

Yeah I definitely agree with you on the stock block and fp black combo

 

Also if your going to do Cams and headstuds, you may as well do springs and retainers while everything is apart. It also wouldn't hurt to run Arp L-19 headstuds or the Map brand studs H11's I believe could be wrong on the name there. With your list of mods talk to someone at MAP they will hook you up gl with your build.

 

Only suggestions I have for yea is maybe instead of a spec clutch look into the comp clutch I have one and it holds perfect and I only have a stage 2.

And maybe some fic injectors but that's just a bias opinion Im not I fond o the Id 1000s but I have seem them run just fine

As far as the black on a stock block it's really up to you I would prefere a red or ef3 since it I the stock block and it takes a lot to wake those blacks up but when they do they are beast good luck man

 

Yeah I already planned on doing the arp head studs, etc while everything was apart. I'm also considering upgrading the suspension. Any opinions on the bilstien setup an what goes nice with it? Also with this setup, what numbers do you guys think I should be putting up on a dyno?

 

Hard to answer that question what kind of fuel will you be using?

 

Highest we have out here without using octane boosters or driving some distance is 91

 

Be very careful using those octane boosters if your on pump 91 man I would rethink the black from what I've seen blacks make on the 91 they really won't wake up you can pry make around 440 ish maybe don't quote me though there are so many factors involved I would look into a red or ef3 youll still make the power but have slightly better spool hope this helps buddy good luck

 

Yeah thanks man, I appreciate the tips and insight!
