hey i just bought an WW evo IX on sunday with 5 miles on it. cant wait to break it in... but today after work, with about 60 miles on the car i started slowly getting to 3k rpm in 3rd and 4thgear and then quickly got it to 5k rpm. ive done this a couple of times (its addicting). ive been doign reading around here about not going over 5k and i havent.. but is it fine what ive been doing hitting boost and all?
btw... EVO 9 OWNS

 

Grats on the new ride. I'd be more concerned if you said you haven't pushed it a little and boosted since buying it. It's too much fun! If you stay under 5k rpm and don't boost all around town during your break-in you should be fine. Doesn't it feel great to hop in your evo and hit the road after a hard days work?

 

lol definately... as a matter of fact, im gonna go drive it right now

 

Your good. You are supposed to boost often just don't go over 5k. Brak ins a b!tch isn't it. have fun man

 

Congrats!

I am looking for a WW IX myself, any pics?

 

yea... actually its funny cuz my cousin took one right as i was being handed the keys lol (yea im only 18)

 

Thats south coast mitsu right? i bought my car there also ^^^

maybe i'll see ya drivin around sometime

 

What happnes if you go over 5k???????????

 

Spontaniuos combustion.

 

nothing really its just a break in prosedure you should follow, even though the motor already has break in time from the manfacture.

 

Im sorry but that is what?

 

the car can catch on fire? is this true

 

Got a question for you guys... I just put on a blitz intake and my car seems to be running with less power. I have a blitz turbo timer as well with built in boost gage; mitsubishi says a factory evo 9 like mine is boosting 20.9 psi. However, my gage only says between 11-12 psi-WHATS UP??

One more question. I will be adding a turbo back 3'' exhaust and a boost controller in the next few weeks. So here is my question with an intake, new blow off valve, boost controler, turbo back 3'' exhaust and a ecu flash, how many psi can i push my factory turbo?????
