Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
You won't even notice a lag difference here, tiny bit of mid range loss without that huge torque spike but now the car will pull all the way to redline! Nice looking setup!

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Evo X powerbands are so damn peaky, like a Honda. Guess that's what happens when you actually have a good head.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
:drool: so nice.
That thing has got to feel so good, i need some good head ASAP!! |
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Looks like the perfect powerband to me!

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
I'll let you guys know in a few hours once I go get it :D

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
For comparison, here's the spool characteristics of stock (blue) vs. EF2 (red) vs. Green (green):

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Interesting indeed
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Man that thing looks awesome! If my math is right this is around 370whp at DB and around 425whp on MAP's dynojet. Looks like a great little pump gas turbo and at this power level everything should last for a long, long time, hopefully including your clutch!
Suck it didn't gain any torque for basically ZERO loss down low the gains up top are freaking awesome! Almost 70whp at 7000rpm!?!??!?! Very very nice sir, I am impressed. Pending driving impressions, this may be the perfect turbo for you; the green may have been 'too' laggy :) |
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
I just got back from a late lunch and picking up the car...
Interesting drive indeed! Down low you, besides for the change in noise, you'd swear you're driving a stock turbo car. It is just as responsive and spools almost identically, but once you get on it and it climbs into the upper RPM's it's like, "WHOA! WTF? Why isn't the power falling off?!?!" and it just keeps pulling! I only have about 10-15 miles on it so far, but initial impression is that this is possibly the ultimate daily-driver street car turbo. Even at highway cruising speed in 5th gear when you lightly roll into the gas the turbo responds and pulls just like the stock turbo for zipping around another car. Fun stuff indeed...now it's time to work on a big formal review thread for the national forums. |
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
^ i have to agree with that review on a ill-equipped DSM not including the EF1.
Glad you like it. |

Nice and WTF.. Now I have turbo envy... Thanks Chris.. My winter projects just got whole lot more expensive.. :P |
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Awesome to hear! Great little bolt-on, well-rounded pump gas setup you have now!
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
S Wood, you have to do it, its soo good.
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
S Wood?

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
SimulatedWood hahahaha.
How was the drive home? |

This turbo is awesome, spools/responds like stock but just keeps pulling! It sounds wicked too. |

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
So civilized! Also LOL @ mod list in video, two MAP intercolers!!!

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
He's recutting the video as we speak ;)
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Heck yeah pre and post turbo ;)
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
I suppose that makes sense, you don't use E85 to keep it cool ;)
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Nicely put together video and car looks good on the dyno
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Awesome!
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Damn, was hoping recutting of the video would include less eminem.
Car looks great! |
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
I told them to use either Eminem or Scooter :)
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
We're getting faster, harder, Scoooooter!!
That would have been good as well. LOL |
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Hit 30k miles yesterday, not bad for only 19 months of ownership :)

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Not too bad, being you live in TX... I was amazed how long it takes to drive between major cities on my road trip there last year O.O
Here's to another 30k :) |
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
I installed some StopTech Street brake pads and so far I'm really liking them! No noise, firm pedal, great initial bite, and linear response. I also flushed the system with ATE Super Blue fluid.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
MAP short-runner exhaust manifold with a custom heatshield to protect the plastic valve cover! I also got MAP's firewall and sensor shields, but those are production pieces with pictures on their website so I didn't bother taking any. The manifold is coated internally with MAP's black ceramic (same that's on my turbo).

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Looking good Kracka.
Now your car is getting close to evo x engine failure point ;) Be careful buddy! |
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Pump gas FTW :)

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Will do! My immediate concern is the stock clutch disc...
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
That thing might be a PITA to install with that heat shield there. God knows it's an annoying enough job without it...
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Oh, it will be, no doubt about it :(
|
Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
You gonna do it or having Cobb deal with it?
