Evo X upgrades - Page 65

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..

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.

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)

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.

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.

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!

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.

Love that intercooler! Seems to fit perfectly.

It does. They did a really good job designing it to be plug-n-play. A lot of the 4"+ fmics require cutting or other work to make them fit.

The only issue I've had is licp fitment and I took a 'bastard file' to the offending bracket while I was in there. I don't think it'll be an issue now.
