Whats up guys? A few of you may have seen my old Evo III when I made the thread a couple of years ago: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...99-my-evo.html.
Anyways, I sold the car back in 2009 in hope to get an Evo IX, just to find out I couldn't get insurance on an Evo again because our insurance companies were going on really strict. So I ended buying an 1997 JDM ITR and modding the **** out of it. I got tired of the Honda world and decided to part the car out to make some money because I saw an Evo VIII I wanted!
The part out lasted about 1 week and I was able to buy my Evo
Here are some pics:
The car is super clean, I absolutely love it. I am never leaving the Evo world again!
A few plans I have over the next few months are:
MAPerformance 3" Downpipe o2 Eliminator (V-Band Re-circ option) + test pipe
Grimspeed 3 port boost controller
AEM Wideband
Clutch Kit (Haven't looked in to what type yet)
Re-Flash from 4WSTuning (Not many tuning options available in the Cayman Islands so what 4WS does is great for me)
The car currently has a 3" catback exhaust, HKS filter, Forge Type RS Blow Off (Re-circ) and Tein Lowering Springs.
Anyways, let me know what you guys think! I'm looking to build a bad *** stock turbo Evo

Finally got the box out because of this culprit, I know. FML.
Box is back in now and I have a clutch fork stop from MAP to try and prevent this in the future!!

Tamer is the best!
Your car is sweet....... I think my car wants to be white
Didn't you get a GS 3 port solenoid? Wouldn't that be for ECU controlled boost? Why'd you switch to a manual controller, assuming you were shooting for ECU controlled in the first place?

I did get the GS 3 port solenoid. However, I wasn't aware that the JDM VIII's do not come with a factory map sensor on the intake manifold. So instead of getting an omni power one and figuring out how to wire it into the ECU etc etc (which I have no knowledge on anyway) I just bought a hallman pro.
