Evo X build order?

Recently ordered everything to put my car on corn.

Fmic, uicp, licp, all the hardware and pnp adapters, fp with filtration system. E85 kit, injectors, compressor inlet, fuel rail, all braided lines, and the bov. 😏😏

Also car already has ETS exhaust and Intake. And a cobb boost controller.

My question is What is next?
eventually the goal is to build for 1200 and have it tuned at 850awhp. Im new to the forum, and i come from the diesel industry. I never launch the car. Its a street car. And if any racing happens. "In mexico of course" its always from a roll. So im not terribly worried about the driveline considering there are multiple evo x on youtube on completely stock drivelines with 800-1100 awhp and there perfectly fine. This isnt to say i wont upgrade later. But for now the focus is horsepower. If this is in a prior thread plz link.

Not a lot of 850awhp cars on here and even fewer built for 1,200. It's a lofty goal but certainly doable. Check out English Racing's Build and consider working with them to achieve yours

Whats your actual goal with the car? You don't "build" somehting for 1200whp and then run it at 850. The turbocharger/turbo kit, fuel system and intake manifold you choose for those two very different power levels are extremely different. Even the engine is different. And a stock drivetrain is not recommended at those levels, regardless of what you see last for a few rips on youtube.

Even a 900whp cars, expect to realistically spend $35k-$40k to have it built correctly by a reputable shop and be relatively (for the power level) reliable. 850whp is going to be a built motor with steel rods and a fully ported head, probably a precision 6870 for the turbo on a twinscroll manifold, triple plate clutch, the stock trans needs gone through for that power level but it really needs a dog box, also an evo 8/9 rear diff, full fuel system with surge tank, and should really be on a standalone ECU like AEM, Haltech, or Motec.

overbuilt is always good. I want the motor to hokd and the trans to hold. No point building anything if your notngonna do it right. I.come from.the diesel world. 30k is cheap in compariaon to the 70-100k to build a diesel truck to those standards. I want longevity that i can enjoy and not worry about anytime i get on it. I was primarily asking what is the next thing in order is on these cars. What do i do next?

Then abandon your idea for an 850whp 4 cylinder right now and buy something with more cylinders.

"Overbuilidng" does not make it more reliable at this level. There is simply selecting the appropriate parts. "Doing it right" is the only way the thing will even make it off the dyno.. The main difference between 850whp and 1200whp is turbocharger size, steel vs aluminum rod, the extent of deck mods for cylinder sealing, and running E85 vs methanol for fuel (which are two different fuel system setups).

As for what to buy next, most of what you already bought is going to be useless for your very lofty goals. So I'd sit down with a shop like English Racing and put together a plan.

This.

I've been seeing a lot of high HP hopes and dream builds lately, locally and online... all wanting ridiculous power... all to flex dyne sheets on Instagram, hard park, and do highway rolls with an AWD 4 cylinder thats about as aerodynamic as a brick.

Wrong car. These things should only be pushed to that level if you really have something to prove or own a shop and are trying to set records. Also, these things suck for highway rolls. You're not keeping up with the big boys. You'll be dead top of 4th as they pull through 5th and 6th to 200mph.
