Re: Evo X upgrades
Nope, not sure, obviously Shane would be the one to ask. He was hoping to get it to spool pretty fast since that car is a road race one. Would be interesting to see if they got it to spool super fast or not.

Don't want to distract him from getting stuff done. 
When the car is on the dyno is a good time for BSing. |

Makes you wonder about the couple of 700hp Evos that he has on the dry-erase boards, doesn't it? They must be T4s. |

Big ass turbo's for sure, most are running like 35+psi across the board. |

Weak sauce! Any ETA on how long it's gonna take to get the right one? Or is he gonna just drill them in and thread them?

He's going to bring it over to MAP to have their machine shop drill them. This is the same large cam cap that broke on the previous head. The whole reason I got a new head was to avoid having to have one of these caps custom made and lined honed on the old head. Irony...lol.

Big power was never my plan. I could have done that with what I spent. I'm just looking for a good street setup with tolerable spool. Maxing out a BBX should suffice for that.

^Sweet man, but a 16G on 2.0L and high boost is enough for 90% on here, sadly ego's get in the way and people want to make sure they can beat whatever they run into on the highway, plus a clean stock setup isn't cool apparantly.
How heavy are X's? From Murlo's numbers he has a perfect street setup and actually more since he was still pulling at redline right? (please note I might be mistaken here) |

Porky but it doesn't really matter to me since I'll never be a good enough driver for the weight of the spare tire to matter, you know? An Evo on E85 and stock turbo feels really good and is undoubtedly 'enough'.
I went to the Fall dyno day last year, fell in love with scheides' car and decided that 500ish at MAP was what I wanted. Once everything is sorted the car should be around there. |

Re: Evo X upgrades
Gay.
U guys are funny on the dyno numbers, what you think? 700hp was easy, just write another check it will get you closer.
Just a mishap or poor QC on mitsu's part?

Re: Evo X upgrades
The crazy thing is this was a BRAND NEW core, something is definitely up but relying on mitsu to resolve this quickly just isn't going to happen lol.

My impression while at the dyno day was that 500whp was the sweet spot for a 'fast' street car. Scheides' car, a Corvette, and a few others were around there. There is always going to be faster cars but are they going to be reasonable to just drive around town? I think I pushed it as far as I'd want to go on that front...the BBX has middling spool for a stock-sized turbo and I've got a six puck. |

It is fast, but maybe it's the fact that I drive my car daily and am used to it, or maybe i am misremembering, but i swear my evo 8 felt quicker, obviously not faster, but quicker.
It has to be the peaky powerband of the X and big ass curb weight, but I still don't feel impressed with my car. It feels awesome no doubt, but i want my car to feel fast when i drive it hard.
The strip this weekend should put things into perspective more, but i am yet to feel truly amazed.
I am done for a while though, need to concentrate on house things and sick of spending money on the car, time to enjoy it. |

Last time we'd talked you'd never launched the car...have you done any practice? I'm wondering what that'll be like with a six puck.

I don't think anyone wants their car to be down now that it's warm out.
I'm down to gauges and cosmetic stuff once I have the car back. |

I have been practicing some aggressive driving, still haven't done full out launch from stop, i am scared, lol.
I have been doing some higher rev drops from a stop but it still bogs. Shane raised my 2 step to 6k so I will get a few in before Saturday to see how it works, just need to find somewhere to do it. The six puck seems to like hard shifting better than soft. It seems the harder i slam it and abuse it the smoother it works (sometimes).
I still get some fuel dumping in between shifts, seems like when it's cold, but when it shifts right it is awesome. |
