*Disclaimer* - I had loaded this thread earlier, left home for quite a few hours and returned later, typed my PM and realized that a lot of others had since responded, but anyways....

You guys are really clowning this thread pretty hard, it makes me want to resign from EvoM and is indicative of the fact that Evo's are becoming cheaper and the average owner is less educated, younger and poorer.

The guy has provided enough information that we should just help him and not be jackasses.

In terms of shops to recommend, I'd say AWD, if it was 2009. They have since greatly dropped the ball. Hard to say for other local shops. PRS seems to have a good reputation.

Honestly, I question the goals since 1000whp on an evo usually means totally unreliable. You'll likely be just as happy with ~800whp MD and a car that actually holds together.

Builds like this, I would ship the car to Buschur, and ask him to thoroughly road test it to make sure its bulletproof before sending it back.

Then again, this thread is so full of idiots, I wouldn't advise posting again. I'm happy to advise through PM, otherwise good luck

 

Boltz made me feel bad.

Like everyone has been saying, OP, your goals are achievable, but you may want to reconsider them with a specific type of driving goal in mind, ie an 8 second pass or an AutoX world record, as if you had a setup that you based more around dialed in suspension for your application, you may not need 1000whp, or anywhere close to it to keep yourself happy.

However, if your goal is a 60-130 (Mexican) Highway car and you just want the most power possible, then be prepared to spend a lot more than your original goal, as the drivetrain will be going through some serious shock at those power levels, as you already know. Some twin disc clutches really do have close to stock pedal feel, however, the clutch that you will need for your application, ie a Tilton Carbon or equivalent, will more than likely be a ***** to drive. Also, creature comforts like AC will most likely have to be removed to work around the turbo kit that you'll need to achieve your power goals.

Basically what we're trying to say, is that at 1000whp, you're going to retain zero "comfortable" aspects about your car, it will be a ***** to drive anywhere on the street, and your reliability will be less than optimal.

Thus, when someone with but a few posts comes in and starts a thread stating that they "want 1000whp", the community takes it as a joke when you don't state any specific purpose you have in mind for the car other than reaching a power goal, when most people above 500whp even have an exact description of why they need "x" amount of power to reach a goal. And, everyone hating in here knows that building a car for a power number is a recipe for creating a useless car.

 

instead of buying a cheap stock evo, you should of just bought a modded one already.

 

I didn't bother reading all of the replies, but I will tell the OP this: I am well over $25k into my build, and my car doesn't make anything near 1000hp. I don't have any frivolous mods but I do have everything you need for a reliable high hp build. I've daily driven this setup for 1.5 years now. Your goal of a 1000hp Evo for $20k or less is simply not going to happen. Do yourself a favor and either buy a different car or be willing to throw WAY more money at it.

My new build I'll be in to it about 12k once its all said and done and thats with me doing all the labor and install.

A 1000hp evo will not be very streetable. The turbo required for such a task will not spool until about 5k rpms. Daily driving around town thats about where you will be shifting. It will be really laggy but at least that will help with gas mileage as your gonna need a mega fuel system.

Bottom line, a 400 awhp evo will be more reliable and faster on the streets unless every road you drive in is a long empty runway with no traffic.

 

Full spool at 5k isn't bad.
The best advice that can be given is read and search through the dyno section. Most people list their mods, and it will give you an idea of what combinations are needed and work well together.
1000hp is doable. Streetable is an opinion lol.
$20k in parts will get you there or very close. But labor costs may likely put you over.

 

Like said before take it to awd motorsports. they will get it worked out for you with br parts

 

lmao

 

Im not here to be an ***, and I don't know you at all so I won't question wether you have a "Ferrari" or a "sc corvette". I am also no expert on builds, but why don't you just buy a nice looking GTR. With the GTR you'll be a lot closer to your goal Idk im just trying to be helpful lol

 

I would go with a 42R turbo kit, We usually sell this kit for around the 6k mark and fits with a full size radiator.

Honestly, it may be worth it to sell your car/shell for 10k and spend the extra 25k and purchase something like this.

I know this car is still for sale, just removed off ebay.

[QUOTE]
no chance of seeing 1000whp for 20k,sorry.

40k,yes.

 

i didn't read anything but the first page,so i'm sure i was just repeating what everyone else said.

but anyway for 20k you need to shoot around 500-600whp.

for 1000whp,you top of the line everything.40k would be a better budget,but i bet you still go over when it's all said and done.

 

Why, oh why was that car not for sale last August? I wanted a IX soooo bad, especially a built one like that one where I could just drive it. I was willing to spend what I did on my new 2011 X GSR. I only use my Evo as a toy, kind of for weekends and nice evenings, so I can put up with with a lot of hard core parts. That is about a nice a build as I have ever seen.

 

is it just me or is that car burning a little oil at idle?look at the walk around video on the ebay link?

 

^ Kind of hard to tell. I really didn't notice anything, but they panned away from the exhaust so quickly, it is difficult to determine. Dyno pulls were nice. In the walk around video, there is a sound that someone mentioned in the comments as "hitting". Not sure what that was. However, I think we get a picture as to what it will take to get into this hp neighborhood.

For what it is worth, I was a supermoderator over at 8th Gen Civic for several years. We routinely had guys asking what it would take to get 1000 hp on their Si's. Of course, the flame wars started because the threads always seemed to be started by people who either were clueless about the K engine, or it was painfully obvious that they were penny pinchers and would probably have a hard time hitting 200 hp on a Mustang dyno.

One thing that bothers me is that the OP said that he did not want to spend 8K for a build and he bought his Evo at an auction. When people with GT-R's go to AMS or Hennessey and want 1,000 hp or more, money is not even an issue. As the old saying goes, "If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it." Another thing that I did not see was how this car was going to be used. Will it strictly be a drag car or will it be mostly used on the street? I know that 1,000 has all sorts of bragging rights at a meet, but I wonder how unfriendly it would be in bumper to bumper traffic or stoplight to stoplight? For me, there is an issue of civility unless this car will only be used to go to Dairy Queen on Saturday evenings in the summer...
