Evo X upgrades

Yea, the 26psi on your car i would guess is closer to 29psi on that car with the MAP head, cams and better intake.

The FPred was on the AEM intake as well that hit 525, i wonder if that has something to do with it.

A small convenience for when the time comes.

All Brembos have two bleeders per caliper. One inside, one outside.

Dad helped me drop the car off at Full Blown today. Shane had left the car out front last night and when I first saw it I smiled. Dad doesn't like the wing. Everyone is a critic. lol.

I have my fingers crossed for FB being able to sort things out for me. If they can't find a problem with the current setup then I'll undoubtedly get a quote for a custom fuel system. A fuel cell/surge tank/double pump would be cooler than hell. Not sure if I can afford that, but let me dream for a minute ok?

Time to go get my Thai take-out. yummy. :D

I've had a couple people ask what the stock Evo X hanger looks like vs the FB, so here are a couple photos.

Is it just me or does the stock hanger position the pumps *a lot* lower in the tank than the FB hanger?

A fair question. The FB hanger doesn't use springs so I am assuming that they measured carefully and their fixed hanger is actually hitting the bottom. I'm also assuming that BlaqOPs cut the small hoses connecting the pumps to the hanger at the proper length so that they are actually touching the bottom of the FB hanger.

I also question the FB hanger's use of slits at the bottom since the stock hanger holds fuel...you are guaranteed to get fuel all over the place when you pull the stock hanger. It drains out on the FB hanger.

These are the main questions that I need FB to answer for me this week. I have zero interest in pinning blame on either vendor. I'm all about wanting a car that can be driven!

^Good attitude. Beyond blame at this point, just need to solve the problem and move forward.

Eagerly awaiting word from FB on this.

Yea hopefully FB figures something good out, it would suck to have to do another fuel setup.
