Evo X upgrades

[mlomker]

How big you looking to get one?

If ETS can't give me a firm answer in the next day or so then I'm going to run Dave's 3" AMS intake over to Primo and have them copy it in 3.5".

I was at DB yesterday and Danny said it wouldn't be a problem for them to modify my AMS intake to be 3.5" at the MAF housing.

So basically I told danny if more parts start showing up, aka my pistons (rods and a few other things are there) and shortblock, more importantly FP black that I will just have them fab something quick.

I for sure don't want an intake holding my build up.

LJ says that I should have the Evo back early next week. I hope they come up with a setup that solves the fueling equation.

I'll probably end up having Primo do mine since ETS has been sitting on the request for a 3.5" MAF on their intakes for a while (as mentioned in that DG Motors thread). I like the idea of switching to an AFE dry-flow filter anyway...not a fan of the K&N.

Yea hopefully fullblown figures something out for you, would be nice to see your car unleashed with a new intake and proper fuel setup.

Sounds like Full Blown is on schedule. Maybe they'll wrap it up tomorrow.

Mike:

We just received the bosch fuel pump and am in the process of finishing the surge tank setup.

Thanks,

liquid badass! Are they going to put it on the dyno to double-check the tune, or are you gonna just rip it as-is? Might be worth a trip back to shane just to make sure all is nice and safe (or put the big injectors back in).....sorry, bad ideas, I'm good at them.... :P

[Murlo26]

Nice Mike, now you just need an intake!

new intake!

Or get the same pipes from here for even cheaper: http://www.boostcontroller.com/index.php?category=252

I plan to drive it like I financed it. ;)

Was planning to get some gauges installed this weekend. Need to get either my intake or Dave's over to Primo so they can get to work.

Call me a cynic but I'm just going to take one step at a time. First thing is to see what Full Blown did and make sure that it works, is E85-safe, etc.

Damn that is a good idea....2 weeks ago.....

Posted this on evoM but thought it was worth posting here too:

I'm kinda thinking something like this:

plus this:

plus a short 1.5" pipe for recirculating your BOV. Do it to it :)

You can get this in 3.5" size or 4" size :)

I think it is just a matter of not letting the MAF read 5.0V and then Shane can tune around it however. Even if it necks down it shouldn't matter too much, the problem here is the fact the MAF is maxed. With a bigger pipe, I believe that the MAF sees less air since there is more room around it to flow and therefore it reads a different voltage.

You could probably even cut the AMS part way and transition to a 3.5" intake where you put the MAF and filter.

I am probably going to sell my AMS one and I could probably pay for most of the fab work for DB.


I'm still in favor of this though, shouldn't be too big of a deal to have one made up, but it would def be nice for there to just be a 3.5" intake on the market.
