Evo X upgrades

Same, That was shootout mode. Used to compare with DynoJet numbers.

Based on some posts the other day, they are awful close to predicting the number on MAP's dyno.

Shane went for 25psi as flat as he could across the midrange and then the stock turbo loses its breath up top.

Where did you mount then new BCS?

Trimmed my heat shield and bent it out to eliminate the vibration.

The 3-port install looks very professional, as you'd expect. Shane put it right where the stock solenoid was, reusing the bracket. The difference is that the stocker vented into the turbo inlet and Shane plugged that hole and the 3-port is now venting to atmosphere.

I've decided that I like the noise...just another touch of mean. I had some teenagers at the gas station rubbernecking today. Must admit, I like that now and then...makes the effort feel worthwhile.

That is a *very* healthy hike in power/torque! Have fun with it! :D

Very healthy hike indeed, I'm very impressed with the before and after tune numbers. One sick X my friend.

Not sure how accurate Shane's shootout mode is to MAP's dyno, but the guys that have done pulls on both say it is pretty close. 281 -> 357 on a Dynojet is quite a bump in power.

What I like the most is the smoothness when making a pull. The car surges if I try to cruise in the 2-3k rpm range but I should just stop being lazy and downshift...the stock tune did that once in a while as well but it's consistent now.

The power difference between MAP's dyno and DB's dyno is probably around 12-16%. So to go from 281whp to 340whp/352whp is at least a 60hp gain just from a tune.

Money well spent. ;)

Edit - 27lbs of boost at 3,100 RPM also has to be fun, probably around 2,800 RPM on the street!

haha. She feels really good from there on up. Shawn's X did 340 on MAP's dyno so I wouldn't be surprised if mine was at the same level.

Get some more pics up of the set up yo!

Shane threw in a set of DW1000's and re-tuned me on E85 (E70 pretending to be E85, anyway).

I had him not get too wild with the psi. The stock X turbo can spike into the 30's but what I've been told is that it impacts torque and not hp since the boost tapers badly beyond 5500. I just didn't see the point in abusing the stock clutch like that.

I threw on a set of Icebears this afternoon for the winter fun.

On 12/12 I'm installing the rear anti-swaybar and a TWM short-shift kit. After that is the KW V3 coilovers and a Whiteline roll center kit install. A BBK, gauges, RE30's/NT05's, and some carbon aero is planned for the Spring. I intend to have this car complete by the next Mitsu cookout!

Wow, nice numbers!

This is just from switching to E-85?

[awd-drifter]

very impressive numbers man. keep it up!
