Haha, my excitement is hard to keep calm as well. Especially when I start watching fp black evo's on youtube. I'll be on that site for hours when I get into it. haha

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Nice, I wish I would've listened to Shane and went BAP, but my setup has worked well so far, I haven't had the problems that Lomker has. 1400's here too.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Yep, already have a dual pump setup. The 1st pump is a 255 and the second is a ford gt500 pump i think.

Hope it stays that way. I have three fuel pumps. More is better.

I was curious about that as well. The wheel looks like it was designed for something else and ground down. This is a pre-production version so maybe they will have a prettier looking wheel made later on?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Clipping can be used to make a little more power or to help keeping the exhaust wheel from melting/turbo failure on road race cars that never get a break for the turbo to cool down some.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Honestly not sure....I thought it was supposed to be the same 67mm turbine wheel from the FPred. But it looks a little strange for sure. I guess we will see on the dyno what it does.

Don't think i have ever seen DB performance post, just Shane under Ecoli, is that Danny?

Turbo looks nice, inducer wheel looks very similar to the Black in my possession. I'm excited to see your evo rip!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Here's what my FPred exhaust wheel looked like, a bit different...



So not sure what the deal is...I will ask Robert if he used a different wheel.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

I asked robert about the black and here is what he said:

Do me a favor and dont put up a bunch of pics of the turbo since we are still sort of fresh with it at this point. And dont confuse yourself any more than is necessary either

R


I will just put it on and see if it makes power, not sure what the deal is with the exhaust wheel, but i sure am confused, lol
