Heres my 2005 with factory ACD, full peakboost GT30R kit with Tial 44mm wastegate, custom radiator pipe, AEM EMS, Trust Ti-R exhaust, HKS SSQV, Magnacor wires, Chargespeed body kit, VIS carbon hood, 5 Zigen FN01R-C hot version wheels, soon to be added a set of buddy club cams, and HKS cam gears, and a Zaklee clear cam cover, Snow performance methanol, and final tune.










Its going to AMS on May 8th for the final tune. I was told to expect 500-550 awhp from AMS with what I have. Right now on a VERY safe and conservative tune it makes 419 awhp on 19 psi.

 

Well heres some pics after the last of the engine stuff was done, had to hold off on AMS, but its officially going on june 26th....

 

sexy!

 

nice! all that with an ebay intercooler!!j/k i ave one also and it works great!your car is sexy!

 

nice lookin evo....
and thats not a ebay ic, its a xs engineering if im correct...

 

Yep, XS engineering. Actually looking at a little deeper one like a 4''-4 1/2'' deep one from somewhere else if I go through with the AMS 2.3 stroker motor. Only time will tell. I kind of wanting to keep it as my daily driver as I have 4 other cars that dont get drove that much, but who knows.......

 

well I'm setting about 4 miles away from AMS right now. Be there at 9:00 in the morning to FINALLY get a great tune on this thing.

 

that is nasssty... congrats

 

so this beast is at ams right now ? cant wait to see what it can do !

 

Dam that looks good

 

looks good bro.

 

Well all done at AMS. Final #'s were 450 hp and 404 tq. We actually had to wind up re-tuning it after the first tune at 550ish hp due to low end driveability on the street. It was hard to go from stoplight to stoplight due to the way the ignition map was set to get that power. Still really fun.

 

wow thats not much of a jump at all from your previous numbers.

 

the main difference now is the actual curve of power. It is way more linear and comes on alot stronger and faster. The car can actually make right around 600 hp but being a stock block, stock tranny, and having a easy to drive clutch in it it would not advisable to go much higher.

 

oh ok, I've seen a little 500HP on the stock block with no problems. the Sti's block can handle 600HP internally stock wise it can handle 400 HP safely, anything above 500HP and above will need to be sleeved. But then again if you have the right tune you can get by with just about anything really.
