So the modding will begin with the evo again. I just picked up my new BOV (THANK GOD, no more surge and bogging and idle issues) So I got a APS duel vent which is the bov that has the best reviews for drivability with stock MAF.

Next I am waiting to here from the guys from ETS about picking up a new ETS intake pipe and upperIC pipe both powdercoated in gloss black. Then the valve cover will get done Tarmac black to go along. after that its off to find a rolling meth lab for the Evo.

 

Bad ***.

Future plans for a bottom end build?

I just saw a 35R EVO on the stock bottom end......wtf? Guess i never really realized the durability of the EVO bottom end.

 

the bottom end is well enough to get you into the 10s easy. it only becomes a issue on DD over 540WHP or so. there are a few at 580WHP stock bottom still. I wont even touch those #s without a 35r. the 50trim can get a max of about 515WHP or so. Id expect to be close to 500 but prob not over it since I am on a weaker FMIC and stock intake manifold, I also only have a 2bar EBC solinoid so I cant run more than like 28-30PSI anyway. That still should have me very damn near 5 bills though

 

Thats pretty cool.

So when do you think you are going to give it a propper tune and do the meth kit?

 

once I get all this stuff in order and hopfully I can get a meth kit (they are hard to come by, well only because I was a aquamist HFS-1 or HFS-5 kit which are rare and mucho dollars)

But I have already been in talks with DSG (Dent Sport garage) local AWD dyno who specialize in Evos. They are all for getting my car dialed in with the meth and high boost, we are all looking to have it tune at the start of the next season just so long as all it running as plann and the meth is installed and waiting to be sprayed

 

Lookin forward to it.

I was shocked to see the 35R EVO with about 60k on it going for only 23k. Had some decent exterior mods too...

thats about right. Stock turboed Evos VIIIswith 55K or more are always under $20k these days. the Evo 10s are now instock on the west coast and in order for evverywhere else. although they are not as rare as Evos of the past few years in the US and dont share the 4g63 the Evo VIIIs and IXs seem to have taken a beaten recently in value

 

Yeah no kidding. The market is really displaying that to the letter.

There was already a dude on here asking about an intake for it lol. Damn, that was fast.

 

meth=nitrous? Never heard this term in the car lingo.

 

Think of it like a chemical intercooler.
