I recently bought a completely stock 2003 EVO VIII with 90k miles. I'm going to replace the clutch with a solid after market racing one. I'm trying to learn how to work on and tune as I'm completely new at this. I'm looking for suggestions as to where I should start on my car?(as I don't want to blow it up).

 

Use the search thread and there are multiple tuning threads that give you step by step directions on how to learn to tune.. for me i take it to respectable/ trusted shops..

 

i did all my own work there are a lot of step-by-step do it yourself with pix to help GL. So is the clucth the 1st thing your going to do?

 

Brsox10288 Is there any chance you can send me some linkz? Thanks.

 

Chino: Yea the original clutch is slipping really bad and it needs to go. I'm going to go ahead and replace the flywheel as well

Get a wideband.
Take baby steps. Log, log, and log. Make small changes to the fuel and timing maps at a time. Log, log, and log again. See how those changes effect knock, AFR, and performance.
Take a baby step forward. Sometimes take a baby step back.
Learn the relationship between boost pressure, air temperature, and octane.
