Hey guys just wanted your opinion on the easiest way for me to get my currently stock evo 8 gsr which is 271hp i presume, up to 300hp. I was thinking exhaust and a reflash? not to sure since im a noob, lol.

thanks

 

reflash gonna get you there is you are on budget.if you have spare cash put turbo back exhaust and k&n filter.

 

It pretty easy to get an evo above 300. Just turn up the boost on some larger injectors, exhaust, intake blah blah.. the usual

 

boost controller, fuel, tune

 

o2 housing, licp, exhaust, boost controller and a tune will get you there.

 

Ive seen people hit 300 with full exhaust, ported o2 housing, ported exhaust manifold, boost controller and a tune.

 

my sig on 91 oct.

 

you will get more with 92 or 93 octane.

 

Impressive considering they have a mustang dyno still. Correct?

 

93 octane, swap to full intake or justbthe filter,
Full 3" exhaust, and 255 walbro

If you do it ebay which nothing is wrong with it cost will be less than $400 for a nice horsepower gain your injectors are good up to 300-350 max.

I self tuned and car runs great

 

271hp to the flywheel. About 220 WHP on a dyno.

 

cool thanks for the info, looks like il be going with a full ehxaust, intake and boost controller plus tune should get me to my goal or above hopefully ^-^
planning on hks hi power cat back btw anyone have it and want to chime in if tis a good catback or not??

 

Intake won't get you much of a gain (if any) yet. Lower intercooler pipe and the o2 housing are the biggest bottlenecks. Change those first, then get a full exhaust and a boost guage. Add a manual boost controller before you tune, and it will be money spent wisely.

 

What do you plan to do with your car? DD, drag, autox, track?

Do you plan on higher hp/tq goals after you reach 300whp (we all do). I agree with a lot of the comments on here to get there the "easiest" way. Although there are future goals to think about.

 

Full Exhaust , K&N Air filter, boost controller, Cams and a tune 300 right their!
