Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

[Murlo26]

So I asked Shane if the Evo would be done for this weekend's cookout...his words were something along the lines of, Danny will have to make some magic happen for the car to be ready, lol. Classic Shane response I'd say Smile

I am gonna assume it won't happen so if it does i will be happy.

Hopefully end of next week though if no magic happens..i need magic to get it in time for the 11th of Sept drags.

Another thing, it appears that AWD is saying that the black will spool nearly identical to the Red for the X...with that in mind, if it does, and it has similar flow capabilities to the 8/9 black...this could be a very good thing...maybe the bigger hotside is helping with spool on the X, who knows.

^Yea, just like they 'proved' that the BBK Full and the Black spooled the same, which is absolute horse shit. Dyno plots do not tell the full story about how a turbo behaves on the street.

[Murlo26]

LOL, i wouldn't believe that for a second for sure. The BBK is nothing like the black, I will admit that.

I was simply relaying what they said :)

If there is any truth to it, then sweetness, but I would expect at least a few hundred rpm lag increase. However, Danny said he thought on the street it would feel the same as the red.

Only time will tell this story, I think it will be very interesting to see how the X stacks up to the 8/9 one though with Jakes build, just to see the differences.

I expect the same thing I saw with my red vs 8/9 reds though. Faster spool than the 4g63, less midrange and better top end. But who knows.

lol@ all this pointless wondering BS.

Don't worry your head about it, just wait till it happens. The best way is to drive or get into these cars that have these turbos, even though every setup will be different.

Glad to hear the end is near.

Well, I probably should've just made a thread about the FP black instead of posting the thoughts rattling in my brain here, haha.

I need to listen to Scheides more often i think :)

Quoted for truth! :)

I may have a new sig I think....

Bought a few things today...

-Another new set of OEM plugs
-AMS lightweight battery and tray :)
-Synapse BOV

The battery is me thinking ahead I guess and something I kind of wanted to do anyway. After sitting for 4 months, I am guessing my battery is probably not the happiest right now as it barely started the car before. Had to swap it at the dealer once, the panasonic batteries suck so figured I would knock of 15 lbs and get a better battery :)

I'm sure the $185 racing plugs would have worked $100 better. :sex2:
