Another JDM evo VIII -Helen

Sup all i've called this forum home for a while even when i didn't own an evo (haha). Just a little history...

My first car was an R33 GTS-T Skyline, then an evo 5. From there i fell in love with the evo. I purchased a USDM evo 8 in 2008 but then i crashed it now i have a 2003 JDM Evo VIII. It is not as nice looking right now but when i am done with it i will post some pictures. Below is the only picture i really have.

I went through alot to get this car. My last car was a subaru (NEVER AGAIN!!!) the car was nice but it didn't feel right. My heart belongs to CT9A!

Anyways this is my only pic for now. I will submit some more next week.



Finally got some more pics















So far i have done quite a bit of mods to this car. I am trying to maximize my current set up and run a low 7 second pass at our local 1/8th track.

Motor/Turbo Kit:
Supertech Valve Seals
Supertech titanium Dual Springs and retainers
272 Kelfords
ETS 58 Trim turbo kit (recirculated)
full 5zigen exhaust
Buschur racing ported intake manifold
Buschur Racing ported throttle body
Stock bottom end
XS Power 3.5 Intercooler+ETS full hard piping and intake pipe
HKS SSBOV

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION/TRANS:

Stock newly rebuilt 6 speed
Buschur racing underhood bushings
HKS Twin Disk
Stock tcase
BC BR coilovers
Whiteline front and rear sway bars
Everything else not listed is stock

FUEL SYSTEM/MANAGEMENT:
PTE 880cc injectors
255 walbro (planning to upgrade to a full blown)
aem ems v1
Fuel pressure regulator
Hallman MBC currently but going to sort out my Greddy boost solenoid and tune boost by gear
Aem Fuel rail
Aem Wideband

RIMS/TIRES/INTERIOR/EXTERIOR:

5zigen FNORC-1 17x8 wrapped in toyo r1r's
Vortex Generator
Carbon fibre trunk

20psi on 91 Octane. Race gas will be Q16 hoping to run 30+psi. Really wish i had more info on this turbo (ETS 58trim) yes ive had it a while!

Thanks for the comments guys. Haven't been able to dig up those pictures as yet. I forgot to give a parts list.

The head has hks 264 intake and 272 exhaust cams. Greddy timing belt. Full ETS 58 trim turbo kit along with ETS intercooler piping. HKS intake along with an intake pipe. 5zigen FNORC-1 17x8 rims. Cf trunk. Walbro fuel pump PTE 880cc injectors(not installed yet car isn't tuned) I had some cusco zero2 coilovers on there but I got rid of them cuz they were dead. Bought some BC BR's. Also has cusco front and rear sway bars. Buschur ported intake manifold and Buschur ported throttle body.

I plan to max out this POS turbo and then upgrade to a PTE5857. So far just waiting to sort out some bugs. Weather permitting ill have a photoshoot this weekend.

I'm gonna get the car repainted and purchase some 18x9.5 rota grids. Some other exterior things will be done too but nothing flashy maybe a carbon fibre DL lip.

What are the wheels? They look nice but either the picture or my monitor is too dark to tell what they are.

Hey man, I am not sure what the process is as I do not live in the U.S anymore and quite frankly I prefer USDM cars over JDM any day!
