Hey guys, New owner here purchased a 2005 Evo MR with 58,000 miles... I come from a history of V8s but previously owned a SRT-4 so I'm no stranger to the turbos either. I absolutely love this car and its the most thrilling thing I've ever driven. I had a few questions, The only mods left from the previous owner is a 3 inch turbo back with no muffler and the AMS front mount. It has the AEM gauges but they do not work. I was told by the owner that they will not work with the the AEM box, but was wondering if there was another way to hook these up directly. Also I know I could probably research this, but this will be mainly a daily driven car. I want to be in the neighborhood of 400-450whp. What would be the most efficient way to do so?

 

Pump or e85 is your real answer after you know this then we can help

Welcome to evom i had my evo for 6 months amd i still tell myself i cant believe im driving my dream car

 

Definitely pump, 93 with a mix of 110 on the occasion. Yeah, I've been looking for the right one for 2-3 years... Sold my Ws6 trans am and picked it up... I'm beyond in love with this car. E85 isn't available in my area, at least not widespread.

 

Fp green or red, the green will have better spool, dont forget all your fuel upgrades injectors and fuel pump

 

Yeah, I was thinking red myself, I've been doing a lot of research the past few days. Thanks man.

 

Also a quick question...I have a minor oil drip, appears to be coming from around the drain plug I THINK... could be a main seal... can't tell. I took my car to one of the local drag strips had a street car shootout... run your car for 4$... My best pass was a 8.29 1/8th mile of course... Could have done better it was like 40 degrees couldnt hook very well. Most 400-450 hp cars were running 8.80s track SUCKED. Anyways... I also had a very tiny drop of tranny fluid or differential it was red. Should I be worried about any of this? I will jack the car up tomorrow and check out the oil leak, Like i said its coming from the area of the plug, maybe not completely tight. It isnt much maybe 2-3 drops. Also the oil light comes on at idle after driving a long distance, but goes away when taken off idle. 2 step set at 5300 rpms roughly. Car seems to be fine, transmission shifts fine, and the clutch is a twin disc upgraded.
