No, most likely a GTX3076R.

 

Any consideration given to an EFR?

 

Yes I considered it but moved away from it for two reasons:

1. Tubular manifold
2. Not stealth enough for me in CA

My current problem is trying to figure out how to find/make a full 3" intake from compressor to filter not look obviously aftermarket...

 

Register the car in NV...lol

 

Heh, that would help one of the items. Tubular manifold still being a problem...

 

I still wouldn't run a tube mani on a X without proper mounts for the turbo. But it'll make the intake super easy. As well as a test pipe and many other things.

 

yes, and they all crack.

test pipe I've run for 20+ years in CA. All in the strategy

 

just caught up with the build - brutal to hear. the car fuel starved even with a surge tank in it? if the pump has to fill the surge tank too how do you prep for that? bigger pump?

 

Yeah, he had the stock fuel pump in the tank. In my friends X, we did a hardwired walbro 255 in the stock tank. Just to make sure she keeps up



Even with proper mounting? Just too much heat being against the firewall? And what if it's built out of schedule 10 stainless?

 

ahhh. X won't fuel starve with an upgraded pump then, regardless of fuel level (to an extent)?

 

No, it needs a surge tank. Basically, the stock pump wasn't flowing enough to keep the surge tank full. Then when the stock pump was starved during a corner, it wasn't filling the surge tank and the surge tank pump would start to starve.

 

Do you have to get inspected every so often in CA? I use to have e-check in OH but they would just check for exhaust content, and any CEL, never a physical check of parts and such.

Unfortunately that is only one of the theories of what went wrong. Since I wasn't logging the correct things we really don't know. The only thing I do know is the car leaned out and I have a non working Evo that has been sitting in my garage for the last four months.

I'm getting a solution together to be able to log 'all the things' for this next round...

 

After six years for new cars. So I don't have to smog my Evo 10 until 2020, and now they only do OBD2 testing and visual, no tail pipe sniffer.

Unless I get my hand caught in the cookie jar.

 

an intake would cause you to fail smog's visual check even if all codes were clear?

cobb offered a 3" silicone inlet pipe. it mates up to stock position airbox/other. that would be the most discrete 3" inlet i can think of.
