I'm fine with that

 

Not even close to the baddest, it's a fun ride for what it is though

 

newest part that arrived today

 

I win, for the last two days? haha anywayyy..

I'm looking to switch from the 110 leaded to E85 and maybe do the BBK upgrades to my IX turbo. I think a Walbro 255lph and ID 1000cc injectors should do it for 25psi, thoughts?

Also thinking about switching from the MBC to the HOA or Grimmspeed 3 port BCS, get a high flow O2 housing, and possibly an exhaust manifold before getting tuned?

 

1000cc will be fine with the stock turbo, but I think you might be close to maxed out with the BBK full.

The Grimspeed 3-port is a fine unit...the GM 3-port is slightly better, however it's not plug & play. You will also want a 3 or 4 bar MAP sensor to do the ECU boost control.

Skip the exhaust manifold & port the stocker, as far as short merge O2 housings go the Ti-Tech piece works very well.

 

Got a new toy this weekend

 

Would something like the FIC 1100's be better if I do the BBK Full? Is there anywhere local or recommended for the porting on the mani?

 

1100's would be good, I would error on the larger side for the injectors that way there is room to grow.

I can port the manifold, Fairclough(sp?) can do it also.

 

Have fun with your new toy Josh.

 

I intend to

 

What are you plans with the jeep?

 

How much do you charge for the porting? also can you do my intake manifold?

Looks like some people are saying the walbro might be the limiting factor on the BBK Full, would I be better off spending about double for the DW300 pump? I would rather run out of turbo before I run out of fuel. I like to be on the safer side and overdoing it a little if it won't hurt anything (that's how I built my subaru). However, if I didn't do the BBK upgrade (right away), would i have any issues running the DW300 on the stock IX turbo?

Is the TiTek O2 housing really that much better than the Megan Racing piece for over double the price? or would I just be throwing away $100 on the Megan one? What about the MAPerformance housing?

Last, Omni Power 4 bar map sensor good, or other recommendations?

Thanks in advance and for the help thus far! I still have so much to learn about evo's, but I'm getting there slowly but surely.

 

couple of questions for you guys, i plan on doing a compression test when i fly out to pick up the car so. 1) which fuel pump relays are better to disconnect so no fuel gets fed in to the combustion chamber. The two in the bottom of the dash fuse box, or the one underneath the hood in the fire wall? 2) what size of adapter to i need for the compression tester? i know my evo x was peculiar since it required the smallest one they make for cars but i'm not sure what evo 8s use. Thanks guys.

 

It really doesn't need much as it's the Rubicon....already has the good axles, 4:10 gearing, 4:1 transfer case & skid plates.

I'll probably throw a small lift & a set of 33x12.50 tires on for now...oh, a rope ladder for the wife too
No worries.

The DW300 is looking like a decent pump, that may be the way to go for the BBK full....you'll like that turbo, I set up a failsafe with ecu boost on a 9 that had one & it's no joke

I just suggested the ti-tech because I know it's a good unit & you can pick it up locally from RSD, I really don't have any experience with the megan, seems to be alot of people that do like it.

The 3- bar will only read up to 31 psi & the 4-bar will read up to around 44psi. If you don't plan on any more than 30lbs of boost the 3- bar will suffice but, lately the 4- bar has become the default.

 

Unplug the crank sensor

any decent compression tester should come with an assortment of fittings.
