Im debating on selling the pic coilovers and getting some Bilsteins or just using the stock struts and getting some springs.

My summer plans include
get bumper repainted
get different tail lights
Injectors
fmic
cams
tune

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Nice car, you plan sounds perfect!

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Nice lookin' Evo Mike. Any possible plans of putting in corn fuel in there? (I know it wasn't in the list) just curious :)

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

I think that's what the injectors are for :)

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Looks nice and seems like some pretty solid plans!

Once I got my knock off jdm tails on my car I loved it just that much more. What kind of tails do you plan on getting?

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

What happened to the dsm? Car looks pretty clean. Just needs some some good e85

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

I meant to say the injectors are for E85

I will most likely be getting the knock offs as well. Cant justify spending 350+ on tails

It wasnt me, I didnt want to waste a bunch of money on a 1g when I knew that I wanted another evo.

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Probably getting these

And as far as an intercooler goes, I really want a 4inch core but damn I forgot how much they are.haha, my old RNR is up for sale at the moment and I'm thinking about buying that back or I might just get the obx 3.5in with the cast end tanks since it looks pretty solid and since goodhart,howie, and jake all have it. I was thinking why not

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

If you want to see if you like those tails on the bby you could come by and check them out on my car.

You going to just get that bumper repainted or go with the JDM one?

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

I really want the jdm rear but I dont know if I want to spend the money on that yet. I would much rather have 400awhp then that. I'm going to the body shop and seeing what it cost to just paint the rear bumper and then I will compare cost.

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

I think I saw your #2 and a few other evos at khans at 730ish. If so car looks good!

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

That was me. Thanks

Re: My 2nd evo project

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Looking sexy!

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

I got new wheels today. They are 18x9.5 rota dtp's. I think they look perfect on the car, it just needs to be lowered a bit more.

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

lights and rims look NICE

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Well I got the fmic last week and got to installing it. It was kinda a bitch to get straight and level in the bumper.

Here it is when I first installed it.

So here it is after I made is perfect.

And I took a little bit of a close up of the wheels. Still kinda figuring out if I like them. It needs to be lower for sure.

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Wheels look good!

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Car's lookin pretty sick mike! Thanks again for your stock fmic.

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

No problem man.

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Not a whole lot of change, just made a bracket for my intake so the filter doesn't just lay on the old location of the IC sprayer. Hooked up a hallman pro mbc and had a lot of problems getting it to 23psi, found out it was the mbc that was the issue. Not really pretty yet. The spiderman air filter needs to go. I also got some fic 1050 cc injectors in it. Just waiting for an e85 tune now

Also had a little photoshoot with a couple friends after cars and coffee last saturday. Me,beth(not sure of her name on here), and paul (kurdy). kevin(sleepydsm) was there as well but he was sitting shotgun since his car is engine less at the moment.

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Went in to RS motors early today and got a retune since I put some buddy club 272 cams in. I'm so happy with how my car has been responding to the parts I've thrown at them.

http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/j...5-09-40-22.mp4

Here are the results 358hp and 405tq
dotted lines are the numbers before the cams

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

holy smokes! pretty good numbers Mike!

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

More power at less boost! can't complain! I love the midrange gains, wow! Those cams are decent!

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Nice numbers! Glad the cams picked you up some pretty good power!

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Wow! That's as good of gains as I've seen from a set of cams on an Evo

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

I wasn't expecting to gain that from these cams at all. If only this turbo would hold more boost longer, I would be able to pick up more powe.

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Put a evo IX turbo in and it didnt pick up to much power at all. I didnt get a graph from ron cause he went home early but the ending numbers were 361hp and 414 tq.

Ron thinks that cams need to be adjusted with some adjustable cam gears to maybe move the power band from spooling so early. I'm really thinking about just getting a t3 setup over the winter and swapping out these cams.

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Nice power mike. Time for another highway pull?

Re: My 2nd evo project
 

Anytime paul. You should come to the track this weekend
