I've owned my 2011 Evo X for about 2 and a half years now and for most of that time it was bone stock. The car is no longer stock so I figured I'd say hello
A few months back I had a plug break and take out a valve for cylinder 3 on the way out so I (instead of just replacing the valves) went and decided to build my car a little bit. Here's the parts list now that the car is up and running again, it's not including every little thing but it's the majority of it:

ARP Head Studs
Crower I-beam rods w/ ARP2000 bolts
Crower 98mm Stroke Billet Crank

Crower Valve Springs + Retainers
Ferrea Competition Plus +1mm Valves
King Engine Race Series Main Bearings
Misc.:
AEM Cold Air Intake
AMS 3.5" Intercooler
Buschur Racing 2.5" Lower Intercooler Pipe
Buschur Racing 2.5" Upper Intercooler Pipe
Cobb 3-Port BCS

Exedy Cerametallic Stage 2 Clutch

Interior:

Kenwood Double DIN
Sparco Clubman 4-Point Harness
Exterior:

We're running a 2.2L stroke on the stock bore and compression. I have it tuned now for just 93 since the wideband for Cobb's dyno broke while I was there (bummer, I know). As far as I know the stock turbo record is 426 whp on a Dynojet with Meth Injection on 93. Do you guys think this will beat it? Just wanted everyone's thoughts on the build. Also, if this is the wrong category please let me know so I can move it. Nice meeting you all!
Nice mod list man. I'm actually thinking about building a 2.2 for my car as well. Who built it? I'm trying to decide if I wanna build it myself or give it to a shop for them to go crazy on it.
So far I love it! I mean the cams really come through but that turbo spools so quickly it's insane. The only non-daily friendly part of the car would just be the Exedy Stage 2 clutch, in stop and go traffic that thing kinda sucks. Other than that no complaints.
Thanks man! Black and white are beautiful, but I've debadged it and tinted 5 percent all around and the tails. Still need to smoke the headlights, the rims are Konig Torch 18" I believe, it's been awhile since I bought them. I'm still thinking about getting it wrapped in flat black though.
I still feel like I don't have that much done to the car lol, always more work to do! I was between trading it in for a GT-R or building this. This was the lesser of two evils since my insurance would be insane (not that it isn't already).
Gtr is a different animal. I got to drive 1 at work on our test track as part of used vehicle inspection. It was bone stock with 7k miles on it.
Prolly the quickest stock car I've ever driven. I should also point out the trans was very noisy. We ended up taking it into Nissan where it got a new trans under warranty.
