Trying to decide which route to go with some money I have...
Ok this is what I have so far...
2004 Evo 8 GSR
Injen Upper Intercooler Pipe
Injen Lower Intercooler Pipe
Injen Intake
AMS Intercooler
AMS Turbo Back Exhaust w/Test pipe
JDM Evo 9 MR BOV/DV (W/E you wanna call it lol)
T bolt clamps
FIC 1050cc Injectors
AEM Truboost Gauge/Controller
AEM UEGO Wideband AFR
Bunny ear steering wheel 2 gauge pod
Aftermarket Underhood Bushings
Aftermarket Shifter bushings
Authority Short Throw Shifter
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
NGK Spark Plugs
Tanabe GF210 Lowering Springs
MDR Performance Tuned @ 26-27 psi on stock turbo tapering to 20-22psi at redline.
Then just stuff like Perrin 2" antenna and audio stuff....
I think that's everything, might have left something out though. Anyway I'm thinking about these parts next.
Kelford 272's
Supertech dual valve springs and retainers....or just some beehive springs (need opinions on this)
ACT Clutch and light weight flywheel
Timing belt replacement kit and changing all fluids (60k maintenance)
Debating a MBC instead of the truboost boost control b/c of high spike with alot of tapering...would rather it hold a constant boost psi and wondering if this would fix that.
Possibly a water meth kit running denatured alcohol or w/e it's called that you buy from home depot.
Then was planning on paying off the car. I still owe ~11k on it and bought it bone stock in june or july of 2010. Figured it'd take me about a year to pay it off, maybe less. Then I was going to get this
FP black Turbo
Tial bov
get transmission and transfer case rebuilt by sheppard
However....I'm starting to debate putting a FP black on it now with the cams and stuff so I can just tune it all at once and not have to pay again for a tune. What is a good exhaust manifold to pair with the turbo? Also should I replace any of the above parts with other parts? Thinking of swapping the injen stuff for something better, just don't know if it's really worth the trouble. If I go black, I don't know if i'm going to bother with the alcohol injection. Would like to be around 450-500whp on 93 octane gas. Thinking I'm going to need right around $5000 for all of this...that sound about right to you guys? Also, all I ever see is fp turbo's that people say they are getting and reccommend.....what are other options in around the same price range, and do any other's outperform the fp's?
