I say wait, it will be worth it. I own a truck as well and I hate driving it, and I sold my atv last year cause i never used it. Evo>truck+atv

 

What you get off him?

Naw, i sold the green like the month my motor blew to someone on here. The licp went to Mike w/the black 9. Think dude is running a injen kit w/the ams fmic. Haven't talked w/them in ages. He ever get tuned? Guy wanted some Kelford cams, could really never make up his mind on cams, haha.

 

I've heard those Kelford 272s in person and they sound sick.

 

We were pushing 25 psi on my stock turbo when i first started modding my car w/Jestr, it's possible. After i got the green, i started rocking torco.

 

I got a "carbon" vg from him. Traded him a real c/f armrest. Thought it'd look okay on my car, test fit it...and the weave's just too far off real c/f....that I have on my trunk and hood.

I don't know if he's tuned or what. I think he's still on his stock turbo (ewww) and hasn't ever ran it at the track. That's why I said it's a shame that FMIC sits on a non-tracked car. I was in a hurry so I didn't have much time to bullsh*t.

 

Haha, you should know right

Why aren't you going to get a race map done? Dude, it'll be in the 11's easily.

 

Oh I'm sure it's possible, but the way my timing and fuel is set up for the 91 octane I had in Kansas...it doesn't like this **** we have here.

I'm sure digging around my timing and fuel maps I could make my car work with 25psi on this crap...but I'm sure it'd be much slower. I would have to pull a lot of timing and add a SHlTLOAD of fuel.

 

Dude his **** is soooo slow. He's ran before when my **** blew. He actually hit a 14.0 hahaha. His best was like a mid 13's or something. His car is all whacked out, he got it from Park and Sell on dowling. First day he got it, his headlights, interior lights, all stopped working. The cf on the wing was all faded. It was crazy what he paid for it, haha.

 

I don't man, since i've been having weekends off this whole summer, all i've been doing is camping, dipping, and wilding out on my wife's cousin's atv. ****'s fun. Haven't really been paying attention to the whole racing scene. I gotta beater truck now for the winter. It sucks to drive for sure, tops out at like 90 haha.

 

Yeah he tried to sell me his "carbon" wing.

 

With that tephra mod I have map switching. I just need to buy the harness from JOAT and throw on meth. Don't feel like mixing gas or draining my tank to run a race map. I would rather flip a switch and add 30-50HP. Prolly get meth next spring, and a exedy twin as well.

Are you gonna drive your evo on the street? If so you should get the harness as well.

Didn't know you bought a truck, I'da cut you a deal on mine.

 

I was planning on it, getting it from Jack of Trades or whatever his name is. Saw the switch on the Buschur thread. I was thinking of running alky as well since it's more convenient to run but don't want to really worry on it failing. Have you looked into the Aquamist kits? Their the top of the line kits. I was going to grab one before my motor blew.

 

Well damn, if you guys are doing all this research, then you will need to teach me soon.

 

Definitely more convenient than race gas. With tephra mod, people are using the map switching as the fail safe. Soon as your car notices something wrong or meth kit failing, it takes something like 0.04 seconds to switch to your regular pump 90 map. I was looking at the new aquamist one, but they want like $1K for it. Might have to get their lower model or another vendor.

 

Install some guages (boost/boost controller, wide band o2, egt w/ probe) and adjust the boost and do a tune. I know that I could do that myself but I want to spend the money to get more bang for my buck. But it's just frustrating. There isn't an all wheel dyno that people can use other than students at UAA, there are limited shops that are booked because of the lack of shops, supply and demand has the prices jacked up high cause they can since they are the only ones in Alaska, youngsters working on my car just cause they know how to use a program on a computer (I could do the same if I sat there and read it over and over until I understood it), everyone and their brother with a car has it in the shop or is already in line so the common man like myself is screwed from getting antyhing done even though I am willing to pay the outragous price. I just don't like Alaska and its lack of everything.
