lol, mentions track day and suddenly you need every mod under the sun to do it.

Just go drive the car first then figure it out, although with less power you will be less cool on the internet.....

I will need those mods as I am selling them all from my current setup lol.

I decided I would rather enjoy other aspects of life and have a savings account then try to be "cool" on the internet.

Too much monies to stay at high HP and realistically the Evo seems to be a much better all around car at the 450-500whp level. I just want to run 11's with the new setup and do it consistently. Maybe shoot for mid 11's. Then start trying to turn.

That sounds like a solid plan.

Let me know if/when you want a hand.
Plenty of X guys around here that turn to show you car specific stuff once you are ready.

We run a Full Blown 340lph in Andrew's IX and it supported his 2.3L EF3 on E85 (FIC1450's), and 2.3L EF4 on 93 (FIC1050's). No silly fuel mods besides pump & injectors. It has idled perfectly on both setups so I can only assume idle base fuel pressure has been fine. I'm not sure if you can even get that pump anymore, but there is always the Aeromotive 340 which is used quite a bit down here in Evos and GT-R's as a drop-in pump.

It looks like the new AEM 320 is the same size as the wally 255. And with the install kit is only 170. maybe I will try that.

I guess from several threads I have read, people say that most of these newer pumps don't really flow more than the 255 once it has the relief modded and punched down. That was why I was considering just using that.

[Kracka]

Yeah...but why eliminate a safety feature when you don't have to? That's just my 2-cents though, seems like plenty of people have punched it out.

[93gtpeater]

Murlo I know someone with a truck that will run you when you get your new setup.

[turbotalon1g]

wally 400 not an option?

Walbro 450 is the E85-compatible version of the Walbro 400.

[turbotalon1g]

You know what I meant. but won't that work?

That is currently what I have.

The problem is that just feels like overkill to me.

I think I will try the AEM 320 and see what that does. The wally 450 on my setup is doing 700+whp right now on e85 haha.

Not if he wants his car to idle properly without modifying everything under the sun. Just look at how complicated Scheides' fuel setup has become trying to get his to idle at a proper AFR and fuel pressure.

To be fair, mine idles pretty damn good now. yes it gets a consistent misfire (p0300, so who knows) at idle, basically just on startup or idle but otherwise the car is smooth.

I guess the reason for not going big is two fold:

- Save money
- keep base pressure low and make tuning easier

[turbotalon1g]

I don't care enough to look. I didn't realize the pump would lead to idle issues.

Anywho, I came in to ask are you gonna race on big power before you de-mod and then wonder what the car would of/could of done?

Nah, not even going to try honestly.

Actually I forgot about several things this weekend so I can't even do the amery run now

All I am going to do is hit up MAP next friday and get real dyno numbers and then I can use ricer math to figure out what could've been.

[turbotalon1g]

Just an FYI your ricer math =

[Murlo26]

Come on dude, at work, no poo pics.

[A//// Guy]

Not just the math, the logic on saving money by buying all new parts again is about what brownman posted. lol Do not understand.

I sell parts, pay off debt, take off insurance let evo sit for undetermined amount of time. New parts cost less than old parts and car is at a reasonable level.

I never said I was planning to sell shit then rebuy stuff right away. I am going to space it out some. I already have a stock turbo/manifold that someone is giving to me for free, instant savings.

Guess I didn't think it was complicated or maybe I didn't reveal the whole thing.

Bottom line is I need money now as I have overspent being stupid make 750whp evo. So it was sell the car or de-mod it some, I am choosing to demod.

I will get we will say 6k or so from selling stuff, it will not take me anywhere near 6k to put the items I was talking back on, maybe 3k.

= money back

Make sense?

quick breakdown:

sell turbo kit ~5k
Sold fuel setup (injectors/pump/hardwire kit) ~1k

New stock turbo - free
new stock mani - free
new downpipe - 350
new UICP - 250
new intake - 300
upgrade to 2.5 - 800 (no idea really, waiting to hear back)
some porting and coatings - 300
new injectors - 600
new fuel pump - 200

so 2800? Rough ballparking everything....

And like I said, I save 100/mo with no insurance and not driving it saves more too.

Obviously I am losing some money here, but penalty for going balls out, trying to rectify it.

I had other plans to take care of all this before deciding to sell, but they have since stalled as I am stuck with 2 mortgages on my record and can't refinance right now which is screwing me some.

I figured most of you guys would think this was smart, maybe I missed something lol. Seems like no matter what I post I get some form of crap (part of the game when I change my mind every week I suppose ). Maybe it was just me not fully conveying my plans though. dunno.
