so i did my taxes the other day and im getting back a pretty hefty amount so im going to dump the money into the car. (2011 OB) the car is just a DD with no auto x or track time. its basically just a weekend car.

list i am thinking about at the moment:

suspension:
HR springs
Rota DPT 18x9.5 +22 in flat black
not sure about if any other suspension parts would be necessary since its only a dd.

engine:

AMS DP
AMS TP
ETS V2 exteme catback
AMS UICP
AMS LICP
AMS intercooler
AMS or ETS intake
AEM wideband
AEM digital boost gauge
walboro 255


maybe a gimmspeed 3port ebcs

and of course a tune.

im thinking with those mods id be around the 350ish whp mark.
i threw around the idea of E85 but im not sure if i want to do that at the moment.

any ideas or pointers please chime in.

 

You actually don't even need a intercooler.

What are you hoping to accomplish most?

It looks like your going for power. Are you planning to change turbos in the future?

 

eventually ill want to upgrade turbos in a couple of years but for now im sticking with the stock one.

for now i just want it to be a reliable dd and still be fun. at the most i want to be around 350-400 whp and torque. with those mods and e85 i think i can get pretty close to that. i was thinking cams but ive read that on the stock turbo they dont do much.

 

wish i had that kind of tax refund O.O

 

got married,my wife went to school full time and had a kid last year so that boosted the return way up lol

 

Ams makes very good stuff.. but you're going solely on name when other companies make the same parts just as well for half the price. Getting more power is great... but buy less expensive names and have more money to spend on more stuff and you'll be a lot happier.

 

ets? bushur?

 

You also don't need the the licp as far as I know there is next to no gain.
I for instance had a ultimate racing uicp, drop in filter, turboxs exhaust which had a nice quiet rumble, grimmspeed 3 port, a wideband which I don't recall the brand of at the moment... was told by many to be easier to work with.. a 4" ets ic and the tune from 4ws and made 383 whp on 93... on dyno software keep in mind so those numbers might be off by 10 or 15 but I've always heard they were pretty online with a dynojet.

 

There are many nice products out there made by nisei ... ultimate racing makes a nice quality product... I don't keep up with them as much now... but others could help you a lot more. Also remember that a turbo swap is a real ***** so you might think about just maxing out what you have.

Also... the Evo is a top notch handling machine... what's the point if suspension mods if its just going to be a dd?

 

Here is my List of mods and i got 350hp , 368tq with 91Octane

AMS Down Pipe
AMS FMIC
AEM Intake
Walbro 255 with Blackops kit
Cosworth MX1
RRE Single Catback 3"
Grimmspeed 3port
DEPO Test Pipe, UICP( 2.5") , LICP( 3")
Zeitronix WideBand, Boost, EGT

my next Upgrade is ( Got all the Parts.. just got no time to install now.. )
BBX Full Turbo
AMS Cold Air Intake
AMS Fuel Rail kit
AMS Fuel Regulator kit
ID 1000 Injector
ETS Manifold

hope i get around 430+ with 91

 

Idk I just think ams products are highly overpriced and overrated

 

im not going to say " its not overpriced " but have good resale value also

very lucky i got great deal on all AMS parts DP is the only Full Price Paid

 

I think you might need injectors with all those parts, yet I doubt you'll need a fuel pump. Doesn't hurt to have the fuel pump.

 

I agree, you can get lower cost parts, and still achieve the same outcome!

I don't think you'll even need a intercooler, cams would be a better investment.

The factory turbo is the limiting factory.

 

Personally take out the LICP and the Intercooler and put that money to cams. But I love the lope of an Evo that's been cammed. Stock IC has been good to people, unless they live in Arizona type heat.

*edit* how hot is that part of texas?
