IX RS Build
 

I have wanted to build an all out evo for several years and the time has finally come. I have been waiting to get all the funds together as it will be a no expense spared build. I am very fortunate to have some great people backing me as well. All that info will be released shortly. I will take pics along the way and show the progress. The motor is already out and on its way to David Buschur for treatment. CFT is doing a great job at getting everything organized. I will be running the stock turbo only one more night once the entire car is reassembled. I am hoping for a 10.30-10.40 pass with the stock turbo. After that, the new turbo will be put on and it will be time to have fun.

The motor was in perfect shape inside surprisingly. I am swapping everything over from ETS to Buschur Racing. I have to add the parachute and do a bunch more safety equipment which is a bummer. It will be certified for 8.50's. I have come up with a few ways to shed about 150 more pounds, so it will be interesting to see what the final weight is with all the safety gear.

I am going to try to keep up with this thread. I am going out of town tomorrow to drop off all the goodies. I will take more pics when I'm up there.

I think just changing the ETS stuff to Buschur will net much better times!

Keep at Brian, I am subscribing to this 1!

Post lots of pics :D How gutted is the car right now?

Good luck on the build!!!

Like the guys already said, document the build with lots of pictures.

Good luck on the build, hope you get the times you are looking for.

Should be sweet. Build you safety modifications for 7s. Go balls out, don't aim low :lol:

I am definately looking forward to this build... can't wait to see the final product {thumbup}

What turbo are you going to put on after you give the stock turbo one last try? If you don't want to say, you can pm me

Good luck.. Car should move when you get it back..

Thanks guys. Everyone is very excited about this build....

Well, I can't hold it in any longer. And everyone keeps asking where we are headed with the RS. I have teamed up with Forced Performance for the ultimate build. Robert and Aniel are great guys and the only place I would even think about going for bigger power. I can't thank them enough for the opportunity and am super happy to be part of the family. The turbo will be the red and the motor is a fully built Buschur stage 3. This is an exciting time for everyone involved. CFT has gone above and beyond to make this happen. So for that I am also very grateful. I'll include more details on Wednesday when I get back home.

Very exciting stuff going on there Brian....i'm super excited for you as well.

You have the backing of the best in the biz {thumbup}

Anyone know if FP needs some West Coast representation?

OH Snap:eek:

I for see 9sec9 vs Most Wanted:beer:

But in a good way of corse{thumbup}

Let me ask you a question.... Keeping engineering design in mind.... Whats the difference between a ETS HTA35r and Buschur HTA35r? This still puzzles me... Nothing besides a slightly different designed manifold. They both still use the HTA35r Powerplant made by the same people! Forced Performance....

Whats the difference between a ETS 3" Exhaust and a Buschur 3" exhaust when they both use VERY free flowing muffler and ETS infact has 1 less bend? Both of which have an almost identical routing of piping?

I think how you biased Buschur FanBoi's still think that because it was touched by Buschur, it MUST make 100whp more!!! LOL.

Nothing against David Buschur or his shop, but come on. Its physics and science. a 3" Exhaust with almost identical routing and both free flowing mufflers will net almost identical numbers.

Same goes with a HTA35r kit. They both start with a 2.5" 02 housing and go to a 3" exhaust almost 6 inches after the turbo. I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt that the Buschur tubular manifold also makes an addition 70whp over an ETS Equal Length tubular manifold....

I know this has nothing to do with your build, but a wreckless, childish remark like "just changing the ETS stuff to Buschur will net much better times!" is by far the dumbest thing Ive heard on this forum in a while...

Anyways, good luck with your build and stay open minded! Cant go wrong with a Buschur Stage 3 motor.

Dan :beer:

Im sure ther is no difference in either turbo kit.

1 thing I do know though is the BR builds some kick ass engines. I was pming JRod today and in the next few months I will have a BR 2.0 bottom end in my EVO as well. My car has 100k and I want to have the piece of mind of a built motor. Who better that BR and their kick ass short block right!!!! :cool:

^ well put
