EvoM has been home to me for many years I have had my good and my bad times on here but started on here when I was 18 when I first found my love for the eve 8s and 9s.
My first Evo was a 2006 evo 9 SE Silver in 2008 i got that I had to give back because of the many problems it had then in 2008 I purchased a 2008 Evo X GSR PB only because I wanted a new car from the dealer.

When I got the Evo X in 2008 there was a growing community for the car but know where near the support like there was for the eve 8s and 9s No big name companies had turbo kits that I trusted AMS ETS and some others there was mostly just bolts on.

Drag racing the car with stock turbo and bolts on i ran 12.2 making 358whp and 378wtq full bolt ons on e85>

Then I did a real build
Here are the car's modifications: with stock appearing set up.

Custom Blouch stock appearing turbo and wastegate ,Hallman Pro Mbc,Boomba 64mm Throttle Body,Ams o2 "widemouth" downpipe,Ams Test Pipe,Greddy Ti Catback,Ets 4" IC
Ams Upper IC Pipe,Buschur Lower IC Pipe,Ams Intake,255lph fuel pump (in-tank)
Bosch 044 Inline Fuel Pump,Deatswerk 1,000 cc Injectors,Ultimate Racing Fuel Filter Kit
Ams Fuel Rail,Ams Motor Mounts,Arp Head Studs,Arp Rod bolts,Kelford 214b Cams
Kelford Dual Valve Springs,Bushur Diff Pins,Exedy Twin Disk HD Clutch,Evo 9 Clutch Master Cyl. Conversion Kit,D2 Coil Overs,Stock Ecu,Stock Maf,Stock Bottom End
Tuning Software:Ecuflash/Evoscan Car made 476whp 360wtq on this set up then we went to the track and ran 11.0 at 127mph with 2-3 more pounds of boost! on street tires

I Blew the motor and transmission over revving because I wanted a 10 second pass more than anything and pushed the car hot lapping it.3rd gear locked me out the car from a previous pass at WOT at the track whited cause the distraction 100% my fault. Then I got frustrated with the car and focused on other things in my life like getting married starting a couple business and I wanted a GTR, then the bug hit me and I knew I had t finish the job!

"Don't think I'm doing any of these mods any time soon outside of the slicks and small wheels and Brake kit"

Car is being put together from a close friend of mine Daniel who has been very patient with me who drives and built a evo 9 2.3 stroker with fp black that made 684whp and 685wtq! Animal

Goal is around 750-850 whp on e85 fuel I don't care about dyno sheets though the real goal is at the track where I will run a low 10.1 10.2 and once everything is dialed in where going big with 9.9 9.8 pass as long as a can get a 1.55 60ft or lower with a trap in the 140s Big Goal but i believe they will all come true. I am a hard working man with no sponsors or anything but I want to prove everyone wrong who said the EVO X was to heavy to go fast wrong. I had 3 Big name shops tell me I was crazy for aiming toward my goal and told be get back into a EVO 8 or 9 to achieve it. But now its time see you at the track once they all reopen!

I will post pictures up of the build and will post results come dyno day.

Sorry for the long thread thank you EvoM community for fueling my passion back into this build, without it I may not have pushed the limits again!

 

Props man. All around awesome.

I'm currently getting things together for a 2.4l erl build so I'll be following this.

Good luck!!!!

 

thanks what turbo are you going to run?

 

Well after talking to COBB it sounds like the stock evo x turbo should be okay for a bit, but probably an fp black once I find a good used one or I decide to drop the coin for a new one. I was thinking a red as I'm not shooting for 500+ for a while (have a Ralliart so I have an SST)

I want to keep a stock frame turbo for ease/price of install and forum support

 

I would go with a red if you goal is 500 the response on that turbo is amazing!!

 

Good stuff !

 

Everyday I wake up and debate wether I should sell the Evo and get a GTR lol
Nice build. Any reason you went with the t3 over t4?

 

Awesome story wish you luck!

 

very rare do I see a t4 cars do well at the track unless they are full out drag cars i drove been in both t3 and t4 built evo x and the t3 have better power band and hit harder for longer, and with all the upgrades in turbos out you can not lose

 

thank you!

 

Finally got the motor in progress is beautiful

 

First off NICE Build and looking forward to the results!!

Second did you pull and drop the motor in from the top?

 

Yes we did

 

goodluck man, this is amazing. this makes me want to build my x

 

do it man !! just started the car up and finishing up the fuel system can't wait to hit the dyno!
