Hello guys.. i just picked up a 2006 EVO IX MR last thursday.. first time owning one so i am very new to it... i was drivin a 350z before, and now i sold it to my brother... i hope to learn more about it around this forum... i am looking to just add the bolt ons for now, until i pay more of it off.

Its a graphite grey.. has aftermarket clutch, exhaust, boost controller and turbo timer..

i think the clutch wasnt aligned right or the throwout bearing went out.. 3rd grinds a lil when i engage n sometime 4th. sometime i need to press the clutch really hard in to get them to engage some what smooth. i know 6spds are ****... but if it is a tranny i got another 6spd so might jus swap it it for now till i can afford a nice 5spd one ..

here are my steps for bolt ons.. plz chime in if i should get a better list..

Injen upper, lower intercooler piping, and intake
Buschur.. TBE.. (does it have an option as into TP or is it just HFC?) thanks
JDM MR BOV (stock is fluttering)
ECU reflash ( i have the wiring for it. i heard there is an ecu reflash around here on the net is that true?)
swap out clutch or throw out bearing... or tranny and centerforce clutch.

any info on the above list or directions i would b thankful...
PICS UP

 

Welcome, sounds like a good car. if the gears are grinding its most likely the trans. throwout bearings just get really loud and screechy when they go out. there are stock ecu "flashes" but its a full tune system. look under ecuflash in the lower evo forums there a write up for how to tune an evo.

 

Thanks for the help lude

 

pics loaded

Far east. Joe battle montwood

Where'd you get the car from? Southwest auto?

 

Nice i live in socorro/clint area...
i got the car from mission chevrolet

 

Open your hood and take a look at the oem bov. Is it metal? If yes, then you already have the "jdm MR bov". Evo IX's came with these standard.

If your bov is plastic, then yes consider an upgrade. Evo VIII's had plastic bovs that were more prone to leak.

Welcome and enjoy the evo!

 

^^^ haha ya i jus read up on it more i have the metal one i looked under the hood yesterday... n e help on y it flutters?? suggestions i should do bout it.. it flutters all the time high an low boost

 

Just the way it is man. It's normal. Anytime you add on an aftermarket or hell even the stock intake. Its going to sound like it's fluttering

Lol you dumbass. Hahah that's pretty funny. You said you had a tactrix cable?

 

Injen is garbage. Jus get a bushur racing intake/ filter. Only intercooler piping you really need is the lower. Go with ets or ams lower piping

As far as tbe. Get anything that's a full 3 inch bushur is pretty good. But loud as helll
But you mentioned it has an exhaust already?

You might as well get an intercooler to. Ams/ ets is good

As far as clutch goes. Just get an exedy twin
And call it a day

 

duh panda thanks haha. n i guess it is from the filter.. it has a box filter dnt kno what the F it is hahaha i wll post pics of it later today..
Ya i think thats what the cable is.. are u n e good at flashin.. i want to add a bit off stuff to the evo n then flash it or also see how much boost its running right now...
it has an exhaust no name tho so i dnt know what it is lol, but i am going to switch to the bushur exhaust...
and thanks for the help on the rest of the parts...
haha n u know me duhpanda.. as Ztouring03 on EPR :P

 

lol make it all dramatic and ****....

keeping the evo a secret on EPR or what?
yea i can do all that
i used to have one but i lent it to my friend Luna.. still think he has it
i needa get a hold of it so i can edit a few things to my car
i loaded that whole Tephra mod onto my ecu.. its pretty cool you should look into it

lol oh yea... you need a boost gauge asap never know what the guy before you did to the evo...

 

hahah wel.. jus say when i drove a red mr... it had the stock BOV w/ injen piping n didnt flutter one bit haha...
its my lil secret for now hahah.. only u, allout, kidloco and cg know i have it..
ahhh i see i need to hit u up so u can get me a lil info on the whole tuning situation..
hahah ya gauges are most likely going to b my first mod .. A/F, Oil Pressure, and boost
this is my list right now on the mods:
TBE- Buschur billet w/ TP or HFC.. havent really decided which one
Gauges AEM digital- oil,boost, A/F
Intake- Buschur
Lower intercooler piping-ETS LP2
