Evo X upgrades

[A//// Guy]

Hey I think I found pics of your old BMW?

[scheides]

The resemblance is uncanny!

I like it, actually. I had an `01 325xi. It was black with no mods whatsoever.

My instructor at the last track day had an M3 and that thing was tits. He had an unsprung 4 puck in it so it was a fair ways from a daily driver.

I'm bringing the Evo to Primo tonight to see what they can do for an intake. I got my replacement FMIC from Perrin so debating on when I'll put that in. I could either do it this weekend or wait until I'm ready to install the splitter. I'm getting tired of messing with the car at this point and have lost my steam.

I bought a growler from Granite City and I've found that a lot more interesting the last few nights. lol.

Yum! They have some pretty good beers.

Ever been to a Bosco's? Similar to a Granite City with very good beers.

I figured youd like that bmw lol. The wing and decals totally make it look like crappp.

[Murlo26]

That isn't that many decals...but i agreed fully it looks better with the wing.

Looks don't win races though, maybe they actually track it and utilize the wing Doubtful but you never know.

[Kracka]

Minus the wing and stickers it looks pretty good though.

[mlomker]

No stickers for me. Volks are good. I like the tow hooks--the USDM Evo bumpers aren't threaded, otherwise I'd have one by now.

This post is for Murlo. The Primo intake is looking good. He's going to go 2" longer than this mock-up and he marked where the BOV pipe needs go on.

I helped...tee hee. I will say, it's WAY easier mocking parts up, when the car is there, but for only having the buschur tube there, not bad..

[mlomker]

Thanks for the help! It's actually AMS. I know you've done a lot of this kind of stuff on your car but for me it's an adventure.

[Swifty1638]

LOL, I didn't do a whole ton. Just tried to help Jesse get the angles right and such. Then I marked the pipes for him to weld. Not taking any credit away from him at all. Looks like the new intake will work for ya quite well. And, in seeing it on the car, I can see that there was some wiggle room afterall, which is what I thought. This staying a mas setup, or you doing a MAP? (I forget what x's have available for them)

That wing doesn't look right on it, either. I'm not sure what brand it is but the side plates look too small for it to be effective.

They don't have speed density for the X yet. I read a post from Tephra today saying that he was going to start working on it soon.

Murlo actually just send him a Omni 4bar this week so he can work on getting psi-based boost working up to 4 bar. There's a crap-load of stuff to figure out on the X yet.

[Swifty1638]

aah. In that case, it will be interesting to see how Jesse can do the sensor setup on the pipe..

I'm hoping that by going up a size on a working design, our odds of getting an intake that'll work with the MAF are on our side.

Living in E85-land, we are making more power than usual on a stock-frame turbo.

[Murlo26]

MMmmmmm, nice Lomker, nice

It looks good I must say, can't wait to see one in my Bay

Oh, and btw...the X's are actually both MAF cars and speed density cars already...Tephra is currently looking into the speed density maps the X has to see how we can tune them and do away with the dumb ass MAF.

Intake looks good!

[mlomker]

Installed the replacement Perrin FMIC, some t-bolts, and fog deletes.

My jack sprung a leak so I'll need to take that to Northern Tool for warranty.

[Kracka]

Love that intercooler! Seems to fit perfectly.
