Need Some Advice....

alright so my Evo 9 has full bolt ons, tuned on E85, stock turbo, coil overs, wheels, JDM rear and a few other things.

Heres my issue.....

i have 3500 to spend on the car and im not sure what to do. I want to add more crap to it, but which direction do i go?


thoughts so far..

FP Green, cams, springs, retainers, 02 dump, retune

Build the bottom end and maybe cams

some big turbo kit??


so i guess what is the logical thing to do with my 3500?

I want to have a car that will perform well but still be daily drivable(hence the FP Green)


Thanks


Joe

No problem. That i believe will be your biggest bang for the buck mods for your budget. You should also add a O2 housing if you haven't yet. BTW, what do you make on pump?

I'd use some of the extra cash to do a shep transmission rebuild and even TC rebuild before swapping a new turbo in. Just my .02

Joe,

I see you're tuned at RRE as well. On my IX RS I have similar mods:
Stock engine-no cams / BBK Full Ported / AEM intake / ETS IC and piping / RRE 3-port / RRE DP and exhaust.

On their dyna-pack and E85 it made 443hp / 407tq. Scot Gray tune. Totally liveable and driveable as this is my 72 mile round-trip commuter through the mountains of Malibu.

Obviously the Green is a good choice, but the BBK might be a good match for what you want as well.

Good luck!
Erik

I agree, FP Green, BBK Full, Map EF2.5 or EF3 chose one and you should be good! Let us know what you go with.

i was looking at those options as well, but the FP Green is almost cheaper than the MAP turbo's, not saying the MAP turbos arent good but i know FP turbos are quality, would rather put my money there.

Ill keep you posted as to what route i go, hopefully it will be soon!

Thanks for the input
