You should sell it to Jake. It's a V2 right?

 

i would definetly get the tune checked out, previous owner could sell parts out of it, and you might be running on old flash.

 

Yeah, the only problem is my buddy broke the OBDII port connector that goes with the V2. My stepdad is going to solder it back to fix it so if he wants a repaired one tell him to PM me, the actual AP V2 is fine.

Hopefully it's not locked into a Cobb AP, wanting to go OS this time around. I'm guessing now it doesn't have a tune though. Looks like it doesn't have a TBE as far as I can tell just catback along with a CAI and BOV. I'm boosting to 1.4bar which I believe is stock so I'm guessing the previous owner just threw the mods on and didn't get a tune.

 

The Evo motor is much stronger then the Sti motor. very hard to pop.

 

Yeah, I have heard that a lot. I guess I'm just picky about mods being done right from the start... But what do you expect when buying a used moded car.

 

Welcome to evom. Once you get your tune straightened out, next mod I would recommend is a set of the Binary lowering seat brackets. Binary is a evom member that makes them and I highly recommend them. Imo its the best $130 mod you can do for an Evo.

 

Stock is 19.8psi which is apprximately 1.35 bar, so it seems like the mods were added and no tune. However, as previously mentioned, it could have been tuned and the seller part out some parts to make back some money and just sell it with incorrect mods for the tune. Hopefully, the Cobb AP was unmarried.

With the current mods you have you do not need a tune. A turbo back exhaust is basically the only modification that can be added without needing a tune. If you are going to get tuned though, research some more, find the right shop that will do what you want, and get a boost controller, I suggest a manual boost controller.

Awesome! Thanks for the info guys.

 

I have built my STI over the years for autocrossing. It only has 16K miles. On the other hand the EVo is handles much better out of the box. Stock motor to stock motor the STI has more torque at RPM's below 3K. Anyway I look forward to getting my Evo set-up for track days as well.

 

so what are the exact mods on the car now

 

Both are good cars although there have been no issues for years with the 4G63

 

Catback, CAI, BOV, fuel pump. Boosting to 1.4 bar so I'm pretty sure the car isn't tuned.

 

Seems pretty silly not to tune the car with those mods as a fuel pump will make the car run even richer at WOT fyi.

Evo's are very reliable hell I'm boosting every day at 30-31psi on a stock everything. Just look in my sig for the mods. I don't have the car dyno'ed but datalog lab shows me at a healthy 460ish whp so its plenty fast.

75k miles now and she doesn't so much as bat an eye at the extra power. Hell at this point I would have thought I'd lift the head but none of that happened. Only thing that was a royal pain was putting in the clutch damn I will pay to have that done next time.

This car is my DD btw she is run every day rain or shine and sometimes with all 4 tires producing smoke :P

 

Welcome and congrats on the new EVO.

 

lol funny to see this. I have a 07 sti in my driveway... busted as hell. cracked ringland.... that's y i love my evo. running everyday! haha
