Well I've been talking to alot of people I want to start getting some BPU for my Evo IX here's my list so far PLEASE if you have any recomendations it would help.

-Buschur upper and lower IC pipping

-Buschur Intake

-Amuse exhaust 3" TBE (someone point me where I can buy it please thanks)

-Greddy Profec B-spec I boost controller or (somthing else)

-Buschur Flash Customer ECU Tuning

-Walbro 255 fuel pump

-Fuel Injectors (If needed)

-HKS BOV or Keep the stock one on If I loose power/response from the HKS


Thats all for now my later mods will be:

don't think you need injectors... upper IC piping is more for pretty looks...

i think the buschur LICP only fits the stock IC... so if you get an aftermarket IC, they may not be compatible.

amuse is extremely expensive, isn't it? my buddy had an amuse and he got it from z1... there's quite a wait on it and remember to specify size when ordering.

honestly those are not bad mods. The only thing is I dont think there making a 264 intake cam for the IX. Unless you know something I dont let me in on it. Also the amuse is a great JDM part but the buschur TBE is excellent for the power you will make from it and also the price. Also I know the HKS sounds cool and all but the stock one will work fine. Good luck with your build

NO need for HKS BOV!! Stock is the best on the IX's..can hold 23-24psi if im not mistaken till it starts to leak..and for your booster controller...Forge UNOS MBC would be the path for a Boost-Controller. No need for new Injectors unless pushing ++++ of HP. ummm basically just start slow when modding.. feel the car on each mod you put into your IX best way too see and feel how a EVO performs with a new mod to it. but then again its best too get everything and put it all at once soo you wouldnt have to Keep Tuning it..well thats my $.02. BUt fo ShO It will be a fun Journey with a IX..well thats all i gotta say!

Cams are a waste on the IX, you can only change the exhaust cams and I'm not sure that anyone makes a IX specific cam for the exhaust yet.

Most people here agree that a manual boost controller is the best option for boost control, look into Hallman or Forge UNOS mbc's.

The stock IX BOV is FINE. You would need to recirculate the HKS valve to avoid stalling issuses anyway so there would be no change in sound or performance unless you are going for big boost (read: 25+ psi.) In fact I would edit this section of your post before Warrtalon gets a hold of you.

Try taking a look at the Buschur Stage 1 upgrade package. It includes most of what you are looking for and the BR exhaust is pretty good in my experience. It also has the MBC and the flash for the setup. The intake also.

No, sasquatch there are IX cams available from TurboTrix and GSC.

EndZz, you're almost on the right track, but most of that is a waste of money:

1) If you want a Buschur flash, you have to get a Buschur package, which means no EBC and no Amuse TBE. Don't need those anyway when a Buschur TBE and Forge MBC will work wonderfully and save you a lot of money. Those come with the Warrtalon/Buschur package, and you then get the special Buschur flash. Dynoflash makes those flashes, so if you don't get a specific package, you just get your regular flash from Dynoflash.

2) No need for upper IC piping - it does not help. The Buschur LICP only just this week became available for the IX, so you're in luck.

3) HKS BOV is a big no-no. Don't even think about it.

4) Don't need injectors now OR later.

5) Do some reading on the IX in relation to cams. This is not an VIII where you have all sorts of cam options, because the IX has MIVEC, which manipulates the intake cam. You have to have a specific IX intake cam, and there are only 2 available so far - TurboTrix ($900 for the set) and GSC (280s only - $599 for the set). I suggest trying the GSC's for $300 less, but you still don't need injectors.

6) The RRE no-name clutch is one of the worst in existence for the Evo - do not purchase that.

7) Tunning is not a word. Can someone please tell me why it's so hard to spell the word "tuning" properly? I can't understand why people would think it's "tunning," which should be pronounced like "tunnel."

Ok sorry for the tuning misspell. I heard the manual boost controllers are better, it's just always nice to switch between high and low when you are in the car. So you think the RRE clutch is that bad?...I mean do you think 3 RRE clutches will outlast 1 exedy stage 2 or 3? Thats just how I was thinking of it I could be totally wrong.

Thanks guys for not terring me to pieces I did get all my concerns like buying the Amuse exhaust is probably just for looks. And the uicp from buschur won't do anything? If so I'll go with their intake and licp and keep the stock uicp

Not everyone is brutal here. There is alot of people here like me who have made power without spending alot of cash. Unless your building a show car its not worth spending the extra cash. for the price of the amuse exhaust you can get the buschur tbe and a meth kit.
You just have to figure what is your power goals and work from there.

Well I'm not going to ask who's better but I would like to know some differences like how they tune, and what's the main difference in price between the 2. Thanks and please no arguing who's better Thanks.

Well from my understanding prices for Al is all over here... I think he is anywhere from a 100 or so to like 4 or 5 for a custom road tune which is a ECU Reflash... Where as Scot Gray at RRE does tuning mainly through SAFC and believe flashes are available... He charges 100 to tune through SAFC... so if you are doing mods slowly.. and seeing you are in WC... you need to go to SOCALEVO.NET and get in with the guys there .... then you can see firsthand what is out there....
