coming along very nicely

 

Nice setup man... Car must be feel really good with all that weight taken out.

As for your question...

Making the switch from 110 to e85 will be a plus. I seen you already scooped up some FICs 1100cc injectors, but if you havent purchased a walbaro you should do so. Be aware that e85 is worse on MPGs as well.

If you plan to upgrade to a bigger BBK turbo you might want to look into a Double Pumper just to be safe(not to run out of fuel while tuning).

You may get better response with the Grimspeed or other EBC's, but thats up to you and your tuner. Getting a 02 housing will definitely help spool and power.

As for Exhaust Manifold... you would see gains by just porting your stocker for now. If you have your mindset on purchasing a Manifold i would look at getting a Ported OEM intake manifold before getting a exhaust manifold. Just get them both ported IMO. A 65mm TB will help the intake manifold breath as well.

hope this helps you man, nice setup again.

 

^ thank you for the advice! I ended up deciding on the FIC 1100 over the ID 1000. I ran the ID's on my wrx before and they were great besides warm startup, I read a lot about the FIC's and they seem to be better for that so I thought I'd try it out.

I also decided to go with the DW 300lph pump for a little extra instead of the walbro in case I do the turbo upgrade. For now though, I'm just doing the injectors, pump, grimmspeed bcs, and a 4 bar map sensor.

Later on I will do something with the turbo, and agree on getting the stock manifolds ported after talking to a lot of people, and the o2 housing. Should come together nicely

 

No problem man. Just trying to help out.

Looks like your pretty much set to run some corn in that evo

Who does the tuning/installs on the Evo?

 

I do all of the mechanic work myself. I'm having Harvey from the boost creep tune it in colorado. Making a road trip up there to do that next month and drive their track with a few friends.

 

 

Like those pics man. Meaty tires going to work.

 

Maybe one day I'll be able to drive out at some of the tracks in Utah Looking good mang

 

what kind of fender work did u have to do to have the wheel/tire combo clear w/o rubbing?

also if ur going to go with a bbk, i'd get fic 1250s so u have a little more of a safety margin and look into the Deastschwerks 300+LPH fuel pump, because with this fuel pump u might be able to get away w/o running a double pumper.

Nice to find someone who thinks the same way. Spend/mod as you use and need: Tires, suspension, drivetrain, track car prep. What suspension are you using?

 

very nice setup... only thing this thread is missing are some on-track vids.

 

the fender lips are all cut down (same as rolling) is all it took to fit them. that and camber/suspension setup.

i did opt for the FIC 1100cc and the DW300 pump already

The car has Tein Super Racing coilovers, sway bars, strut bars, chassis brace, and cage.

i have footage from this weekend coming shortly! here is a video from earlier this season, just a small winter series i ran here. (i ended up moving the camera a little higher after this video so the next one will be much better)

Here's a video from my second session last weekend, my camera didn't record 3rd or 4th so I'm still learning track/setup for half of this video. It gets faster/better a couple mins in.

I ended up posting the fastest laps every session, won my class, and the fastest lap of the day out of 25 cars

What camera are you using to record? Ever thought about making the camera in-car or at least on the hood?

 

it's a go pro. i have had it a few other places on the car and i hate that it gets wind noise everywhere else. it's mounting right in front of the grill and i get the best sound quality there.
