My Evo IX dyno session

[Kracka]

Yesterday I swung up to DB for a tuning session with Shane and got some results that I am very happy with :) After getting a few issues sorted out last week everything seems to have come together fairly well.

mods:
Buschur Magnaflow turboback exhaust
Buschur intake with Vibrant dry filter
Buschur SS coated o2 housing
Buschur coated/ported exhaust manifold
Hughes/Scheides ported turbine housing
Buschur lower intercooler pipe
Joe P. MBC (set at ~23.5 psi)
Walbro 255 fuel pump

Scheides was ready for battle as usual:

Got yourself a fun little car there kracka ass

Woot! Mildly modded IX's put out some pretty retarded power with the right combo of parts and tuning. I was there mainly as a cheerleader/evofanboi, but I did talk shane and hughes into trying out the lean cruise 'mod' I've been toying with over the last few months. Car cruises down the freeway at 15.6:1 with no ill effects.

This also shows that the ported manifold/hotside/ss o2 housing really make good power, shane was saying the average intake/exhaust/mbc/tune'd IX puts down 275-290whp on their DD, this is a solid 20+whp over that.

I am jealous hughes! My VIII put down 'only' 266whp when it was first tuned, maybe might have hit 275whp with a better parts combo. This car is 50whp over that!

Then lean-burn thing seems to work very well, the car drive perfectly smooth and I am saving gas :) I think the biggest improvements were made in the mid-range, it is now much fatter than it was before. I still haven't gotten a chance to really try out the car since the tune though. Traffic was heavy enough coming home yesterday that I didn't want to try too much; plus I just got off with a warning after being pulled over doing 80 in a 30 ("racing" a Lexus SUV).

Good stuff. Did you see my red 1g on the lift? :(

[scheides]

I saw it! Did not know it was yours, what's wrong with it? Too much superbleeding?

[Super Bleeder!!]

Endless clutch issues.

[TkrPerformance]

very nice

[98gstaherns]

Thats pretty bad ass! What are your plans for it?

[Speedfreak]

Nice. So to the EVO ignorant. What do you have to port on that stuff? Or is it fairly obvious when it's all apart?

And the "lean cruise "mod" ". Did you just tune that part of the map, or was there an actual "mod" you had in mind?

In any case, that would be a fun car, congrats.

And in a similar question to Joe's.. did you happen to see a blue NSX just chillen?(it's waiting for Shane to tune it).
