hello,

still new to the evo x, what type of mods should i start with. this is my first car i could mod, so where to start. i am so lost here.

 

dont buy anything on ebay. Just general modding rule of thumb haha.

Decide what you want to do with your car, if you want to go for show or go, or both, come up with some kind of strategy and stick to it and always remember you get what you pay for.

 

35r, meth, ic, cams, fp, injectors and tune!! ftw!!


but really..check out buschur or ams, they have packages that you could get.

 

Search around the forums a bit, you'll find all the info you could ever need.

 

Mod the driver- go to the track and enjoy the car for what is was designed to do. Then when you discover it's weak points ( not like there are many) start modding!!

 

panel filter - highflow cat - exhaust /what you like to looking at/ - new solenoid valve - tune.

This set up should be good for a long time, and will make your car feel completely different. Also from there you will have a better view which way you would like to go for a next step.

Intake, UICP, exhaust and tune

You should be satisfied with that for now until you learn more about the car.

 

whats the solonoid valve?

i put down 308 with grimspeed boost controller, wastegate actuator, ams exaust and test pipe and a k&n with no box with tune. about 1500 in mods. completly changed the car

 

most people suggest speed in situations like this. and although its a good way to go, people who get eibach lowering springs rave about what it does for the car. plus its not an expensive or hard mod to do.

 

Intake/Exhaust. Goal is to get your car to breathe better. I started with a cobb tuning turbo inlet pipe, intake, intercooler pipes, ATP 3 inch test pipe, and a Perrin Catback.

 

I'm waiting for my car to arrive... so many options to choose from it can be confusing.. either way, you're going to have to do a lot of research. What year and type of x do you have? mr or gsr

I don't know if this will help or confuse you.. I'm not 100% set on what I'm planning on doing but so far I think I plan to pick up some snow tires then put 1000 miles on the car and:

e85, injectors (I don't know which yet), fuel pump walbro
manual boost control
uicp 1 piece nisei
ams downpipe
tbe
test pipe
cosworth drop in filter (I think.. or full intake.. gotta research more)
dyno tune
boost gauge and a/f gauge (I think.. gotta research this one more)

I might be missing something.. so, to answer your question from another newbs view, I'd do the above, but I also wouldn't listen to me because there's more experience people here

 

this is a good starting point

I dont see the point or the fun in that. Why drop all that cash and get all that done at once. Modding is fun in stages I think, over time.

 

I would say tbe, intake with ard piping, possibly a bigger fmic, TUNE and go from there. That will wake it up quite a bit, depending on what your iltimate goal is.

 

not sure how much you are looking to spend or if you are going for show or go type of mods but heres a link to our evo x parts http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/i...=41&class_8=41
