Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Well lets see here...

I've recently gotten my Innovative LC-1 wideband wired into my ECU for logging purposes, FIC 850cc fuel injectors installed, an eBay rear strut tower brace installed, and sitting here still waiting to go in are some Energy Suspension poly rear differential mounts and some FP4R Evo IX MIVEC cams. I ordered the cams back in May, they were backordered, I got sick of waiting and ordered a used set with only 2k miles on them from a shop in Nevada.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Hell yeah, sooner the better! I already have dyno-tune time scheduled :)

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

cheap ebay parts ftw

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

moooooorrreeeeeee meat! get them in already! your slcaking

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Sexy time! Can't wait to get those cams in lob lob lob lob lob lob lob.....

I like the rear strut tower bar, notice any difference?

No way it'll fit with my sub, aka jizunk in the trizunk....

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

I haven't pushed the car yet, my trunk was too full of tools and didn't want them spilling out of my official tool bag.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Do those cams need the same kind of clearance the dsm ones do?

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Direct drop-in fully compatible with the stock springs/retainers up to 8k rpm.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Nice work man... Lets see some power results! :D

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

The Energy Suspension rear differential bushings were installed last weekend and yesterday the FP4R cams went it! My initial impressions are good, but these things have a wicked idle so I need to work a bit more to smooth that out.

Going for a dyno-tune this Friday so numbers/graphs will be posted then :)

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

This thing pulls nice and hard with 4 people in the car. Had to drop a tad bit of timing up top to get it safe, haven't messed with MIVEC yet. Probably best to be done on the dyno, not sure where the gains will be seen from it but ya, this car now has some serious TORQUE!

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

My clutch loves me.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Sweet! Is this car going on the dyno for the upcoming dyno day?

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Yup, it will be dynoing at MAP.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Well, its official that Evo IX aftermarket cams are a waste of money. I picked up a little torque, but peak power is barely better and the powerband is barely fatter. Maybe Scheides is right in saying that aftermarket Evo IX cams are a ricer mod. I made a best of 314.5 whp and 311 tq at DB on the Dyno Dynamics. Shane did a great job playing with everything and getting it all dialed in though! I'll get some graphs posted later.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Wow, that's kinda lame. Are the cam profiles any different over stock?

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

On paper they are more aggressive and at idle they definitely sound it. I'm half-tempted to toss the stockers back in and sell these FP4R's. My buddy Zac (hellomynameis) dyno'd his car on the Evo IX Kelford 272's yesterday as well with the exact same results. His car got 2whp higher peak (316), about the same tq, but his power dropped off sooner than mine. All-in-all, stock Evo IX cams are pretty much perfect from the factory and unless you're running some huge turbo there is no reason to upgrade.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Sell FP4R, buy HKS 280 exhaust cam, call it a day.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

or disable the vtec ;)

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

My cams suck so I bought this too:

Its the trunk bar that comes standard in the Evo RS. It runs from one side of the trunk to the other to help stiffen up the chassis.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

lol


ive noticed before from other people with 9's that they just dont like aftermarket cams all that much. good luck with whatever path you take with those cams!

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

I may try messing with an adjustable cam gear on my FP4R exhaust cam but I could probably do the same on the stock cam. Stock cams are damn decent on the IXs.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Jim, how much power did you pick up when you put cams in?

I'm wondering Chris and I are just at the limit of our stock turbo's on pump gas.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

More power is there, there must be something else holding you guys back. FMIC, piping, not sure. 330whp should be obtainable. Other things to remember, perhaps you guys had some bad gas? Did you happen to fill up at the same station (by hughes' place?)...something was goofy friday, just not sure what.

Your cold-side FMIC temps were jumping up a solid 20' who knows what your actual intake temps were. I guess we should have dumped methanol all all over your FMIC during a pull and see if it helped...

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Also, I am fuking floored that teh gheyrod did not make more power holding more boost up top. There are tons of examples of gm bcs improving top end. Then again, your top end did hold a lot stronger than zac's.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

We had to pull out more timing on my car. 1 degree for 4000 to 5200 and 2 degrees for 5201 on up. At this point, I'm convinced the stock IX turbo is at its max and is just blowing hot air. That leaves a FMIC, meth, or new turbo. I'm about ready to lay down some money to grab AMS' new FMIC, and am seriously considering CBRD's BBK turbo...even though I said I'd never do a new turbo.

I figured 330 was an easy guarantee, I was thinking 340 was possible, but more of a pipe dream.

In the near future, I'm putting in a DC3 catch can, following suit and doing a bit of a wire tuck, hood dampers and as soon as possible after that, a FMIC....

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

A larger FMIC will also be my next big power mod. I'm quite interested in the new AMS design, the Perrin, or another new FMIC in the works that I've caught wind of.

At least your 9 looks like sex on wheels Hughes. I'm always a fan of white cars.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

NEW PARTS!!!

http://www.dsmstyle.com/photopost/data/547/IMGP1253.JPG

http://www.dsmstyle.com/photopost/data/547/IMGP1254.JPG

Nisei Evo IX piping kits! Aluminum and light as hell. The quality of these things is definitely top-notch. I went for the gloss black and Chukee_R went for the red because he is a ricer. I also have a FMIC on the way, I'll post pics of that on Monday when it arrives (hopefully).

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

sexy!

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Chukee's gonna be pissed when he finds out what I used his pipe for last night when I was drunk.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

LOL.

Parts = hawtness

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Larger FMIC time!

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

very niice!

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Core dimensions: 25 x 11.5 x 3.5"
Weight: ~22 lbs.

I chose the Perrin due to its large size, cast end-tanks, low weight compared to other aftermarkets, and bolt-on fitment requiring no hacking/trimming to the bumper, crash bar, or undertray.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 

Sexy time!!!
