Re: Dave's Evo X Build
My IC pipes are aluminum, they bend easy. I think one of the ones that was leaking was bent a bit. I don't want to bend my 300 dollar IC Pipe.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
A $300 IC pipe? god damn
I'm with goodhart electric impact ftw!!
That seems like insane power you are making, I don't know much about the FP stuff, but what size is this turbo?
I checked their site and it looks like you are making way better power than they did.
Congrats thats nice power and the powerband looks awesome.

Welcome to the Evo X. AMS ftw!

The Reds on E85 do about 480 on a Dynojet fully modded. I think Dave would like to see 500 but it might be a stretch.
The wheels are the same as the Red for the 8/9. Rated for 57lb/min but everyone assumes it is a bit less based on real-world output.
Given how Shane's dyno reads, Dave's numbers are looking good. There should be more in there.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Its an alumium pipe, pre bent kit ftw? A little bit DIY? local welder/shop?
You ballers are out of control.
Thanks for the info on the turbo, 410@27psi sounds damn good compared to those other charts and he can still do another 10+psi.
Good luck I hope you break 460-470 that is nuts.

haha. It lists at $340 on the website so Dave must have gotten a discount.

The most I will run the red to is probably 33psi. The key is going to try getting the turbo to hold more boost up top. Mine is falling off a little more than expected. I don't think we had the wgdc's turned all the way up yet though. Plus with the leak who knows.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Yup! I think I will do this every time I go to Shane from now on, just in case.
He said all the honda guys just take them off in the parking lot because theirs are so easy to remove, lol.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
Wow I guess if my IC pipes were that much I would either have custom ones made by some shop like primo or DB or Ebay that shit lol

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
I really doubt you could get custom Aluminum IC pipes for 300. That would mean they would have less than 3 hours shop time to get it completely done, doubt it.

I would think you could get it done for less than $630 for the two.

The pair from Ultimate Racing is $370, which is what I bought. It isn't quite as solidly constructed (they don't bother with brackets, it doesn't fit perfectly, etc). AMS is on the premium side of the aftermarket and if that's what you want then it is worth it, imo.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
I am the type of person that gets truly upset if i find something better than what I bought (parts, tv's furniture, anything, lol) for not much more money. I always figure you get what you pay for, and usually it is true.
This is why I bought the AMS, so I wouldn't regret what I bought later and have to rebuy pieces.
