So what is your car spiking at with the z-chip? And what psi does it hold?

 

24.xx and drops to 19-18 psi at redline.But the difference between my car and your is that I AM TUNED and your spiking 26 psi with NO tune.. Im not sure if your new to the Evo scene or what not, but 26 psi on pump gas with no tune and modified like that, is a big no..Im assuming you have no wideband or anything to detect knock or monitor engine vitals so thats even worse, your taking a risk in blowing a motor, specially when it hasnt been out for too long and we dont know how strong it is or how long it can last. I would recomend for you to turn your boost down til you get tuned to be on the safe side, i know i would if it was my car. I know others in here will agree with me on this one.You dont wana be the first to do a "I blew my motor!" thread

 

Any issues with the SST tranny with the increased power? Shift points, Transmission slip,

 

Pump your brakes kid!!! Why do people always jump in a thread and go so negative? Sounds like something you said in the TTP thread Miguel Give Wik3d some credit! He jumped on the dyno and showed what he has! Don't scare the guy off

My car without a tune spikes to 30psi and drops to 25-26! The one time it spiked over 30psi it went into limp mode, but I was testing some products at the time. I am sure that spiking to 26psi in the X will be ok.

The X is a new car and nothing like the old Evo's! I have talked to many tunners and everyone says the same thing "The car will not let you blow it up, that is the reason for limp mode" Now the tuners I have talked to could be wrong, but who know's?

In every batch of cars you get that 1 car that is just a beast, maybe you own that 1 car. The X MR I owned before would hit 19psi, but the X GSR I have hit 25psi no problem with the same mods from the MR. I have friends with the same mods as me and some never hit 26psi.

I have also tried 3 WGA to solve my spike issues, nothing seems to work. Stock spikes and aftermarket spikes. I was told without a tune, my car will spike. The more I mod the car, the more boost I get. It's just a fact of life without having a tune! Wik3d, I am sure frank will not let you blow your car up! And I trust my guys at AWD! Soon enough John will have a tune and everything will be right

 

Negative, whos being negative, im stating FACTS. If you can see ive owned 4 Evos not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4, so im pretty sure what im talking about, ive been working on these cars for 5 years now. Im not trying to scare him or say anything negative, its better to be safe than sorry, its just dumb to boost that high without monitoring anything.If you all wana run 30psi on pump with no tune , be my guest, its not my car. Im glad he got decent numbers on the dyno, im not trying to take any credit away, im just telling him to be careful as im pretty sure he doesnt have any kinda engine monitoring to detect knock, neither does he have a wideband as to see if the car can go lean, make sense? Just because the car has limp mode doesnt mean it will not blow up, who ever said that is just obsurd. I know of a Evo X that already blew up, so much for the limp mode huh? Well, if you guys wana take risks, do them on your own cars. Im assuming this is your first Evo since you came from the Suby community?

 

26lbs is nothing in these cars , more so if you're untuned like he is and running big-rich .

 

Boost away then

 

20,200 miles and 30-32lbs for 19,000 of those miles , in-fact I've ran even higher .
We're planning on going to the track this Wednesday , you should come out .

 

Im assuming these 30-32 psi where on race gas correct? I was talking about being risky boosting to 30 psi like the other guy on pump gas

Ill see if i can make it out there wed to the track, its been a while!

 

oh thats cool. how much is it gonna weigh (even though it really doesnt matter since your not a hardcore racer)

 

Well , on a mix because you cannot run all C-16 without a tune . And yeah you should make it out , we're going on boths days .

 

The main body of the exhaust is just over 7lbs and then whatever the rear section is is depening on what the customers wants - an extra 2lbs - 15lbs ...

 

oh ok, so what kind of numbers are you expecting on getting with Steve's car??

 

So you put on almost 20k miles on your X on a mix of race and pump gas?

I know you didn't put on even a quarter of those at the strip. So you run around the streets, boosting 30psi on race? Great way to use your money.

 

For now whatever the tranny will take , I am trying to get my hands on another tranny but I'm still waiting .
