Hey all, just ordered some stuff and wanted to get some opinions. Not interested in upgrading the turbo, at least for a while, maybe ever, the stocker is good for awhile..... Anyway, I decided to go another way with buygin a few things. You can see my current mods in my sig, below is what i ordered. Any comments/input is welcomed.......


Exh Manifold (through Lancershop)
650cc Injectors
UR IC pipe kit (would have got Bushur but their lower IC pipe doesnt fit my IC)
Head studs
Bushur intake and MAF Pipe

 

think about getting the intercooler sprayer kit from MachEvo.com....they have a DYNO sheel for it, and this is a safe way to add NOS to your car without destroying your internals. Do you have a aftermarket clutch yet? You seem to have some good power adders, have you considered maybe some suspension modifcations?

 

How do you like the Turbo XS BOV? Better than the Greddy or HKS(w/the recirc adapter)? have you thought about AEM EMS? Got any Pics to post?

I have the TurboXS BOV and it is great.

 

wow you good a good list going there. with all that power you might need to upgrade you brakes to be able to stop that beast.

 

we never asked him how he uses the car...

 

Actually I dont drag or autoX much. I just moved a few months ago and am now away from all my "hangout" friends. Including my brother who has a 400WHP EVO and 2 good friends with STI's. SO now I dont go to the track much or drive hard. The clutch will wait til I NEED it, why upgrade it when my stock one is fine. Thanks for the input.... I posted a bunch of Pics in the Yellow Lightning thread...... Later all

 

Oh yea, the TurboXS BOV is nice, just put it on last week, My brother had it on for awhile, didnt work for him. Had a lot of shutter. I have it on with 3 washers, works good.....

 

yep 3 washers is how I have it, haven't touched it since the install.

Sounds like you enjoy your EVO on occasion and daily drive it so your mods are to get the best out of a streetable car. Have you thought about maybe a standalone ECU, improved cooling system, redline(or better fluids), stainless steel clutch line, stainless steel break lines...anything to improve stock is always a plus!

 

if you're doing studs why not also a gasket?

 

you don't have to oull the head to do the studs...

 

hi jase, sounds like some cool mods. good luck. see you soon.
later

good way to start. nice to see that you have made sure you have enough fuel in there LOL. you seem to have most bases covered.

the only things that i would say is get a standalone. they willl make more power than any remap or piggy back can. also they give little features like launch control. cost a lot, but i geuse you get what you pay for. also water injection will let you run loads of boost from that turbo without blowing your internals. and a nice intercooler wouldn't go amiss. then there is the clutch that you will need. nothing to aggresive but somthing thats not going to die affter 2 launchs. while the head is off you could get it ported. and get hold of a second hand exhaust manifold and play about woth machining it out. there is a thread kicking about called caeramic coated manifold i think that has some very good stuff on. def worth a look.

with this little lot you will be looking at about 400bhp and loads of torque (depending how much boost you run in the modrage). i would then get some Rally Piper cams and a Ti RS turbo (with the big housing) and you will have a really fast and drivable monster!

thanks Chris.

 

Thanks for the input man. Good stuff. Anyway, I do have an ungraded FMIC. And th clutch is going towait tilmy stock one goes. Why mess until its done. Many have ran and still run 11's on tock clutch, and Im not HUGE into the track. But the clutch will be next when it goes. Anyway, thanks for the help....

 

turboxs BOV sounds like something exploding in your engine bay.
