new guy here. soon to be the owner of an '06 EVO IX GSR. I have been trying to do as much research as possible. Basically what i am looking for is a good street/strip build. I have a decent budget to work with, and do have a grudge to settle. The comp is currently trapping 11.4s. Yet this will still be my DD. Here is the starting point of the power combo I am looking at putting together. Any and all input and direction is greatly appreciated!

AMS GT3076R Turbo Kit

AMS Center Pipe

AMS Catback

ARP Headstuds

Walbro 255 pump

780cc Injectors

Fuel Lab FPR

AEM EMS/F-Con??? need advice there

AMS Fuel Rail

Nisei Intercooler and piping with small batt tray

GSC S2 cams and springs/retainers

Clutch??

 

btw i will be using 93octane if i can get away with it.

 

What intake are you looking at. Everything sounds good. If you get a test pipe instead of cat back you will get alot better air flow but its up to u.

 

i will be running test pipe cept for inspection time, sorry for not specifying that. i was looking at the ARC cold box. Looks good and solid. Suggesions?

 

nah....i think its more for looks...though i could be wrong ....the better intakes out there are the HKS rs and the BR intake

i currently am running the HKS rs intake

 

With your listed mods that should be no problem depending you can drive. In all honesty there have been a few members on here doing better on the stock turbo. Also, your stock ecu is fine. Why would you have a problem running 93

 

what is currently being used to tune off of the factory ecu?

I am going to check into the HKS rs intake, thanks!!

what would be a good DD clutch that can handle the power?

stock turbo huh? hmm... well i am shooting for 500+whp, i honestly didnt think that any factory unit could support that.I will look into it though. thanks for all of the input so far guys!

 

I would get a tbe if your budget isnt to low. Goodluck on the numbers though!

 

tbe? total built engine?

 

Turbo back exhaust. The stock turbo cannot do 500whp, but it can do 11's.

 

thanks for clearing that up.lol.
well i am doing a turbo back exhaust with the AMS kit. it comes with the downpipe, then i will utilize the test pipe and catback that is all made to fit together!

 

a question i should of asked in the beg, how much HP can a stock motor handle with just head studs and a MLS headgasket?
