If I was you i'd just get a quieter exhaust, stock cams and, a retune. Then call it a day.

So the issue about the watered sparkplug might have been due to the weather, it was pouring those days.

I also replaced the battery, removed the Kelfords and injectors, got it tuned at around 300-320awhp on 93.

It still has the O2 dump and I can't wait to remove it: how long does it take to perform the job? I am scared about those bolts on the turbo...I'm sure there's a DIY around here.

I am starting to like the Evo more and more, I wish the rear diff locked a bit more as I miss the power oversteering but overall it reminds me a lot of my Integra Type R just with 2x the torque and 2x the grip!

I keep on reading/hearing how bad the tune and the stock parts are (intercooler pipes, exhaust and Intake) that no wonder everybody tunes these cars...

Cheers

Re-stack the rear diff plates according to the proper FSM-spec and you'll see a pretty good improvement pretty much for free

Yes indeed although I would probably buy the 12 plates kit if I was to do the job...

This car is so much fun on the wet!

Hey is the AYC EUDM LSD fittable on the USDM cars?

Only the LSD.

Great drift, can't tell if it was an accidental over-steer that you just corrected by drifting or a deliberate tail waggle? Either way have fun be safe.

You certainly do not want the AYC as they do not handle much more power from over stock. More turn in and over-steer you are looking for? A rear sway bar upgrade will do wonders. Recalibrating your rear dif clutch packs would be superior to that of the AYC as you will definitely have power over-steer and the strength of the USDM dif.

Did you decide on going back to stock cams?

You get 150 mpg's to a half tank and you think that is terrible mileage? Haha, you bought the wrong car if thats your outlook, I'm stoked when I make it to 150 on a half tank. (and thats with less mods than you). But as stated, mods shouldn't really affect HP. If anything ditch the dump and the cams and you'll be happy with the power your at and the better drivability of the car.

Here's another video drifting around TWS from the same rainy day, sorry for the crappy camera angle


I am on stock internals and making 320ish WHP (with octane booster). I just bought Ohlins DFV - I only read good things about them, hopefully the handling will get better.

Can you help me with something? This car vibrates like a *****, how can I fix it?
I know it has an aftermarket lower support, is the OEM that bad? Does it affect shifting?

Did I tell you I want to go back to cams!?
