Building my Evo...
Building my Evo...
I apologize in advance if this is not where this thread should have been placed, I thought this is where it fit the best.
Basically I am semi new to the import/car world (Maybe three years experience) and even though I had a 91 Talon TSi, I have never built a car from the ground up. I know what needs to be upgraded and such but I'm not sure in what order it should be done. Was hoping to get some feedback and some ideas so I dont waste time and money doing things the wrong way. Below are my current mods so that you can get an idea of where I am at:
-Greddy Type S Blowoff Valve (Recirculated)
-Cone filter (Stock intake)
-Perrin Upper Intercooler Hose
-3" Turboback w/ cat delete (o2 trip senor installed for check engine light)
-Autometer Boost Gauge
-Greddy Full Auto Turbo Timer
-Heavy Duty ACT Cluth w/street disc
-XAct Streetlight Flywheel
-Swift Pro Mach Springs (Not installed, on their way)
I realize the car is my own, but I just wanted some opinions on the best route to go. Im thinking of heading towards Cams and Cam gears next, or should I work on the fuel system? I admitting I need help an ideas and I appreciate ya'lls time in helping me with this.

If you were thinking of cams and cam gears I would go with HKS maybe 272 or 264, which ever ones you would prefer! 264 are for more low end torque. 272 are more for up top hp. I would do fuel at the same time you get the cams. And get it tuned after doing this. Go to buschurracing or AMS website for prices. Fuel is always the thing I would worry about. Do you have a fuel pump. If not get a Walbro 255. get it tuned! I personally do not like Greddy bovs so I stay away. And you might want to get a boost controller of some sort I have a HKS EVC5. well good luck I hope I help you out a little. Remeber you get what you payed for. Dont be afraid of looking at AMS. look at the stages they have layed down on there website. AND GET IT TUNED........
I live in Johnson City, TN (Far northeast corner) and there is NO Evo tuners in the Area. I believe the closest better known places for tuning cars in general is Top Speed in Atlanda, GA. Say I get cams and cam gears, will a dynoflash mail in tune suffice? I want to make sure its right, however with my work schedule (Im an Army Recruiter, I work 60-70 hours a week and usually 6 days a week), its hard for me to travel to get a dyno and or road custom tune. Have a friend who wrecked his Evo and he has HKS 272's on the car right now, Im hoping he will eventually sell them to me, but he's being stubborn right now.
