^you are going to pick it up now?

Woo, nice. So what tune is on there now? You just going to baby it or something?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Going to take another 'executive lunch' today. It has the stock turbo tune on it with updated fuel trims to fix the AFR. I'm not sure what that's going to equate to, I assume a little more power than stock turbo since it has more fuel.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Nice, well good luck, let us know initial impressions. You need to get tuned soon, if you make enough power maybe it will convince me to keep the X.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I have a dodge spirit that makes an est. 350/350 it spins tires at 85, you interested in one of those?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

^Thats only on 15psi untuned.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I need a reliable dd, not another turbo car i will spend too much time/money on...i assume you were talking to me.

Back on topic though, don't want to clog his thread up.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

wtf? You serious? My Dad's beater is a Plymouth Acclaim. FWD...

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

^I am dead serious.

So how is the break-in going?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Just drove it 35miles back to the office.

No visibility? Check.
Louder than hell? Check. Test pipe added a new level.
Vibrates and rattles? Check. Motor mounts helped out.

I need to get use to all the new sounds...

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Congrats on getting it back, I'm sure it feels good.

Shane is always willing to go that extra mile, there have been nights I've been up there and he's still been around after 10/11 trying to get a tune worked out. You're car was in great hands!

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Yea i thought my car was loud before the testpipe, but a testpiped X is crazy loud.

Hopefully the new loudness drowns out the rattles, i know it did on my car.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

It'll be back in a few weeks for the tune and then we'll see what it does. It's clearly down on power but I've been getting by with a sub-100hp vehicle for a few months here. lol.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Congrats on getting the car back! Can't wait to see what numbers it puts down. How many miles of break in are you doing?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

A test pipe makes a car louder?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

However many miles I put on before getting on Shane's schedule. From what I've gathered there's no firm opinion on such things. I'll just follow the oil change schedule that he suggested.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Is there anything you aren't changing? :) I am sure the car will be a beast on the track.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I think the stock Evo alignment is done by a blind guy with a hammer.

--
Put 150 miles on it yesterday getting my Dad's car back to him. Next oil change today.

The additional lag makes 5th gear easier to deal with.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Went to Valvoline for an oil change...had the whole staff standing around my car and bullshitting. That's one thing that I enjoy about having a car like this.

On the way out of there I tried a 3rd gear pull and holy crap. The untuned spool is pretty late but that also gives it quite a hit when it comes on. The BOV with the upgraded spring is surprisingly loud.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

What oil are you having them put in?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Shane said conventional 10w40 until 4500 miles. Changes at 150, 500, 1500.

With track days over the Summer I'll undoubtedly change a few times between 1500 and 4500.
