I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
I guess another OEM one will do! This is an OEM Evo IX turbo:
http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0080.sized.jpg http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0081.sized.jpg Just for fun, I set this next to a small 16G I had on my 2G: http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0105.sized.jpg http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0106.sized.jpg See why running the stock turbo on an evo is so much fun? :) I also got a stock intake manifold and TB for cores for my porting project! Any Evo 8 owners reading this, if you're looking for an upgrade, I actually have a second IX turbo on its way to me, kick ass upgrade, especially for 03-04 guys! I will let this second one go cheap! |
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Wow. That is actually pretty large. Atleast you can say you're still running a stock turbo! That's what I plan on doing with my FP18G, thank god my 18G is the same size as a 14b.
WTF size is your VIII stocker? That thing is huge compared to that 16g. And in the first pic, is that the Six Million Dollar Man's boss in a glass thing? http://smiliesftw.com/x/lolcrx.gif |
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Pshhh, after all that HTA boasting, this is the big upgrade? ;)

Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Holy crap! I knew that there was a difference but I didnt know it was that much..
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....

Fun!

Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
grind away. Should be fun. You should get a gram scale and see how much matierial you are removing. :)

Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
The IM & TB are being sent to Buschur Racing for their port job. Same as they run on their 650+whp shop and customer cars with good results, and the price is right :)

Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
nice
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Nice one.
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Sweeet. Cant wait to see results.
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Wanna sell that 16G for CHEAP?
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Sure, it needs a rebuild though :) $50 and its yours!
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
It still baffles me how they can justify calling the Evo turbos "16g"
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
damn what a difference
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
I was going to wait until next week when my hand was fully healed, but the outside of the cut is 90% healed, and discovered a bunch of spare time this weekend so I went ahead and slapped this little toy in.
I kept it simple and left the exhaust manifold, downpipe, and hotside (previously ported, already a 10.5 since I have an 05) all bolted up: http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0112.sized.jpg IX turbo on the left, VIII turbo on the right: http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0113.sized.jpg VIII turbo next to that same small16g (see previous post)...looks a little closer in size, but I made ~330whp on this sucker! http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0116.sized.jpg Instead of spending $100 on a new buschur outlet pipe, I opted to make a piece of IC pipe to fit in the missing space....very nice option in my opinion, with zero compromise in performance: http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0117.sized.jpg Thanks kracka for your help cutting this! Pipe came from an old dsm j-pipe I had....a little JBweld around the end of each one to keep the couplers from slipping off ;) http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0118.sized.jpg In place and ready to rock! http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0122.sized.jpg Also, just as a reminder to everyone, DO A BOOST LEAK TEST! Time and time again people show up at dyno days and tuning sessions w/o doing this. This is a huge factor in making consistent power. I also took the time to check my tire pressure as well, all were low. With temps as cold as they are, its not uncommon for tire pressure to drop. http://www.scheides.com/albums/evo8/IMG_0123.sized.jpg |
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
That reminds me Schiedes, Can I borrow your boost leak tester? I just wanna double check that my new BOV flange welds are good.
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Yup, I'll bring it on tuesday :)
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Sweet. Thanks! Don't forget the spacer thingy so it'll fit in my 4" coupler.
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Oh right! Ok will do ;)
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Looks good man! Can't wait to see what kind of gains you see off of it. :)
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Based on my logs, the numbers suggest a solid 5% gain. That would be 17whp. We'll see when it comes time to dyno again.
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Sweetness!
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
awesome, can't wait to see some numbers!
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
nice. you sould have called I could have put some beads on the pipe
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
hrm, I'm looking at the numbers some more and its looking more like 8-9% gains....that would be 30+whp...but my BCS is goofed a wee bit and I'm running a tad more boost, maybe 1-2psi....no knock though :)
Mark, I didn't know you had a welder, I would have hit ya up! Oh well, not a big deal. If it ever comes off again, I'll have ya do it, for now this was the quick, easy, and while a wee bit ghetto, not bad. dsm style yo! ;) |
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
If I did not have a welder I could have never made the evo
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
And I just welded on a new BOV flange saturday. I'd have been more then willing to put a few beads on some pipes for ya.
|
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
shittastic! Oh well!
I finally got to do some WOT 3rd and 4th gear on the freeway today now that some of the roads are more dry. Before the snow I had tweaked some of my ecu maps to account for the insane 380% load I'm hitting now, and the car feels SUUUUPPPPER good. 2nd gear is squirly in anything but the driest of dry roads. |
Re: I was going to just run my stock turbo but....
Sounds fun. Do you have the other IX turbo still? You stated cheap, but what is cheap?
