Possible solution to hard left fuel starvation?
Ok guys,
I put together this POSSIBLE parts list for the Evo X to solve the infamous long hard left turns that kill our motors via fuel starvation. There are certain things about our cars that simply have to be addressed before some serious track time. This parts list below doesn't include the required Walboro 255 lph fuel pump, it assumes that is what you have (which actually I don't right now). If you wanted to keep whatever pump you have, you would just need to get the inlet on your in-tank fuel pump to be 5/16" hose connection and then the PTFE hose with SS clamp would go right on that puppy. So far I only found such an adapter for the Walboro pump (by Radium below). This POSSIBLE solution is under $500 bucks and is therefore cheaper and much more simple than a surge tank setup. Would love to hear thoughts from people who have REAL experience dealing with this limitation of our cars.
Again, if this isn't obvious already - I have not bought or tested these parts yet. I just came across the new Holley Hydramat product and then put together what I THOUGHT we would need for an install.

Seems neat I think that's been out long enough someone should have run it by now?
Hmm doesn't seem very successful in an EVO X actually, that's dissappointing.

Then again someone else figured out a solution:

I tried a Hydramat setup in my Evo X and I had it setup to also feed a external pump but not as big as yours.
The short version of the story is that the mat doesn't flow anywhere near enough to be able to supply a large volume demand and what makes the mat great, that is that it's pores seal through surface tension, is its biggest downfall...because the large suction of the pump actually starts sealing the pores of the mat and it can't keep flowing.
Good luck with your setup. I know I wasted a good chunk of money and time on mine and at the end Holley could not even give me a flow rate of any of the mats so I demanded a full refund.

For some reason I thought this was so new, that I didn't even bother to do a search first. My bad! I will go read how it worked out for guys.
