Andrew,

Can turbo from tht MR work with 03 EVO's? I want to buy that turbo from a local guy that wants a turbo upgrade.

 

I say extremamly conservative tune because im not pushing the full potential of the xede, look at the a/f readings. They show you what I mean buy conservative. Also note, I was shooting for around 260 whp and got just want I wanted. I plan to get more aggresive with the tune after I add a few more parts.

 

How much does 03 evo's make stock on that dyno?

 

205-210 whp

 

Yes it will although you will have to turn your boost down a tad....or get re tuned on a dyno....

 

so what would an 03 make with his same mods? and is the whp gap contributed to the different turbo, or is there something else?

 

I've had my 05 for about 3 weeks now. Bone stock except for the exede computer and a/f, egt, boost gauges. I was getting consistant 230 to 233hp second gear runs on my gtech meter (have to rigid mount to get consistent results. Factory mount sucks) and 22psi max boost before installing the exede. After a couple days of acceleration tuning and a couple tanks of gas I'm now getting 270hp at 6600 rpm on 26psi (3500rpm) to 22psi (6500rpm) boost in second gear. 245 to 250 foot pounds of torque at 4600 rpm. Enough to spin the tires without the clutch at the torque peak. This thing rips. The highway rollon torque at 3500 is big fun.
Part of the reason for my results may be the cold temps here in Rhode Island lately that let me run 100% boost on 93 octane pump gas. I've found that retarding the timing by as much as 4.8 degrees makes a lot more grunt than 2 degrees at 20psi. No knock sensor interupts. After many hours of creeping up on optimum conditions I'm seeing 27psi in 4th gear at 3500rpm. Exciting performance for me but I'm keeping a close eye on the egt and a/f gauges as I know I've got it tweaked. I'm running 10.5 to 11 a/f and so far it stays less than 1600F egt but I haven't made any sustained high speed runs and don't really intend to. Interesting that as boost increases the car runs richer. I'm running -19.5% fuel at 6500rpm on my high boost bank and -15.5% on my 20psi boost map to get the same a/f ratio. A little scary but it's running strong and cool.
I'm an engineer and have been tuning cars for 30 years now and haven't had this much fun since my GTX 440 6-pack. Besides my hands don't stink from gas when I change the fuel mixture and I don't have to swap springs and weights to change the ignition curve. Damn I love this car.

 

ah haha fun times, oh and welcome to the boards.
