2008 Evo X MR - ETS 5858 V-Band Turbo Kit
Finally got the turbo kit put on my Evo X recently. This is a stock block, stock head, stock cams setup.
Mods:
ETS 5858 V-Band .82 A/R Turbo kit
ETS 4" Turbo Kit intake and 3.5" MAF Housing
ETS 3.5 intercooler kit
ETS race test pipe
ETS quiet exhaust
FIC 1100cc injectors
Kozmic Motorsports walbro 255 fuel pump kit
Kozmic Motorsports 10 disc clutch upgrade
Kozmic Motorsports valve body upgrades
Kozmic Motorsports catch can kit
92 Octane Pump Gas - Timing kept low for a safe....er tune.
Added GSC S2 cams, Beehive Valve Springs and Titanium Retainers
This graph shows previous power without cams overlaid with current power by just adding cams. No other mods were added.

Here you go:
This is what I think would be the safe upper limit on a stock block. The SST seems to soak up about 10-13% more power over a GSR. That puts this right around 500WHP if it was a GSR. It doesn't produce crazy amounts of torque so I think it will live for a long time. At least that is my hope.
It pulls really good and actually still launches good. Hoping to get it out to the track next weekend.

Feels really good. The biggest problem I had with the stock turbo is it just runs out of steam in the upper gears. This pulls all the way to 8K and would probably keep pulling if I let it.
The SST shifts so fast and never drops off boost. This makes for a really good street car build.
It might get some cams, springs and retainers at some point but for now I am really happy with the car.

Michael, I didn't know you owned an MR. Anyways, I am curious why you didn't just stay stock frame. An FP Red or equivalent would have given you the same power with a few more psi of course. Are you planning on running E85 or something like your boys at English full time?
On my MR, I have stock frame, but my powerband is about 400-500rpm's earlier, and goes to 8500. Just curious why the choice of turbo. I run a 5858 myself on my Civic, but I never thought of using that on the 4b11t for a pump gas turbo on the MR.
How do you like the clutches, your the only local I know with them! I am so jealous! You got to roll by my shop, and give me a ride in that thing, or vice versa! I'd love to check out that Ford RS you got over there at ETS, could you ask JR if I could put it on my corner scales, I'll hook you guys up with coilovers
