18K's are impossible to get a hold of as they are constantly backordered.

If anything I will go the ATP GTX3576r...or just keep it stock, I am enjoying it now a lot. However, I am thinking the stock turbo won't last forever on this much jam haha.

Also, I might finally be getting rid of the car haha. In which case I would be looking to move to a c6z most likely, something in the 40-45k range. I need to think on this as the longer I wait the less I will get for my car so if I am going to get out, now is the time.

My guess is you'll be surprised at how long the stock turbo lasts, they seem to take a lot more abuse than aftermarket turbos before failing.

**Murlo26** · 02-16-2015

^I don't really expect it to just grenade, I am only pushing 31psi which isn't too terribly high but I am sure it will have a few years shaved off its life because of it haha.

Better graph that can be read.

Adam pulled the SAE graph instead of STD like before, so different numbers, but whateves.

**Kracka** · 02-20-2015

I love how fat the torque curve is, and how flat the horsepower curve is!

**Murlo26** · 02-20-2015

I should go back to my crazy idea I had like two years ago..Nitrous wet kit the evo!

I have always wanted to try a 50 shot on the evo, that on top of this would make this car really fun on the street haha.

C3L1CA · 02-20-2015

You've got a built motor, throw a 100 shot at that bitch!

**Murlo26** · 02-20-2015

I am more worried about breaking the trans/diffs than anything haha. another 100 torks would be ouch time I think for rear diff. Unless I just leave these tires on there and spin them and smoke show that shit.

I need a mullet, so I can do that.

C3L1CA · 02-20-2015

On bikes guys use controllers to progressively up the shot as they go down the track. Bet you could use a controller to progressively up the shot to start at a 50 shot then progress to a 100 shot once that power/tq starts dropping off. Just throwing ideas out there.

Nitrous is fun and can be pretty safe when setup right.

**Murlo26** · 02-20-2015

I am moving to an exedy triple clutch this year hopefully, then a surge tank then I will look at possible power adders. I was considering just a window switch as Shane and I discussed way back when which seemed like it made sense.

I doubt I will get to adding it this year, maybe next year though.

I'd also like to get track wheels/tires and move to smaller brakes to fit slicks.

I want this thing in the 10's and it has been done on a stock turbo with less power/torque than I have on the stock motor, so time to try

C3L1CA · 02-20-2015

April 18. First track day at Rock Falls if the weather cooperates. Get-r-done!

**Murlo26** · 02-20-2015

I am not sure how my ACT 6 puck will hold up but I'd be willing to try! Lately mine feels very "chunky", trying to feather and all and it almost shakes and goes crazy sometimes. It's very inconsistent right now, guessing its time for a new clutch. But again, I would certainly try and launch it still and see what happens.

C3L1CA · 02-20-2015

*Insert $.0005 accountants thought* Maybe try bleeding it? Seems weird to me to have inconsistent clutch like that unless the pressure plate is fucked up. Would think if the disc is fucked it'd more consistently inconsistent

**Murlo26** · 02-20-2015

It's extremely consistent except if I try to feather uphill from a stop, then it almost shakes.

Otherwise if it doesn't see that much load and its more of a just go thing it is fine.

I guess I was thinking its probably just uneven wear on teh disc that is causing it.

URV8SUX · 02-20-2015

Driver mod?

**Murlo26** · 02-20-2015

^ yes, I need lots of that. That's why I went stock turbo, part of it, easier to drive supposedly.

**Murlo26** · 04-12-2015

new wheel/tires

Yay, might have traction now at the track. Time for small brakes this week.

Oh and thanks to Mark Leasure for the great deal! Hopefully I can put these to good work.

**scheides** · 04-12-2015

Are these drag slicks? For your X? Trying to break something or what? :P

They are...and yes, for the X.

Yea, breaking my rear diff!

Then I will switch to an evo 8 one and drop 100 lbs.

**Murlo26** · 05-13-2015

Next Project is here,surge tank setup:

Going to consist of Radium multipump surge tank, dual wally 450's in surge tank, wally 255 lift pump and progressive fuel controllers for each 450 which will be controlled from my AEM boost gauge 0-5v output. Then the factory crossover relay will be put back into play to keep fuel pressure down at idle so I don't have super high base pressure and crappy idle which happened some with my hardwired 450 before. Then i plan to use 6AN ptfe hose everywhere to make sure no smell.

I am excited, should be a great setup and I should never have to dick around with my fuel pump setup again and no more fuel pickup issues, yay.
