can i run staggered wheels on my IX . id love to run wider rims in the back and get the look of the fat lip towards the rear. anyone know is the evo can fit them in without caliper clearance problems?


how can you tell if you hitting peak boost on this car? all i know is that when i start hitting 3500 rpm at half throttle, the car starts pulling mad. am i hitting peak boost at this rpm? dealer said the ix is boosting at 20 lbs.... but when am i actually hitting/feeling the 20 lbs of boost? first turbo car... this is all new to me. any help would be nice.

 

The thing with running staggered wheels is that it puts stress on the drivetrain on the evos awd system (its not fwd or rwd), so its not really recommended

 

Hey!

Welcome to the famiy. There is a lot of great and knowledgale people here, and a fortune of information to be obtained.

Enjoy your new evo, and make sure to research anything you plan on doing to it for the best safety and performance!

 

Yeaa I was wondering bout the whole boost thing myspelf since this is my first boosted car as of wed lol. N how long in the cold ny mornings should I let the car sit to warm up?? Cuz wit my ep (si). I juss turn the key on n go.. N I KNOW alot better then that to do that wit an evo.

 

What I do is warm it up about a quarter of the way and take it easy (no boost) until fully warmed up. Only then do I boost. I do this every time.

 

is there any sure way to know you are boosting? besides the pull that u feel...

 

Get a boost guage.
