Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Dave, you seriously need to get this thing on a road course with that curve.
At least bring it out to DCTC next year!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I plan to try DCTC for sure, I was trying to do that this year but the car was slow to come together.
If I do go racing besides 1/4 mile shit I am going to turn boost down some, it feels too aggressive as it sits for road course or auto x stuffs.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I know all my car does it make fake graphs now a days, but here is where the car is at now. This is a lot more than i thought i could get out of the stock turbo, even on my setup. The car feels pretty damn quick for a stock turbo and feels very strong to 7000 rpms. 2nd gear is insane, still haven't tried 1st hah.
Anyway, here is the graph. Still tweaking some but this is close and all I think I can get out of the setup. This was on 125th/main st in blaine, so pretty flat, so guessing numbers are kinda close to real dj numbers.
Anyway, last update of the season, going into storage and on jackstands soon. But the car is running good so I hope to make the 1st track day of spring and actually drive the thing.
First plans for next year are the following:
- Exedy triple disc clutch
- Radium surge tank (wally 450 version), and rewire AEM320 in tank to go back to dual voltage setup.
- Probably new tires, rivals i think, or maybe DR's.
- Maybe different turbo, but not sure yet. I want to drive this setup at the track first.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Storage soon? oh my bad, I forgot you don't keep it at home.
Drive it till the first sign of salt. you have a good week or 2!
That's an awesome powerband

I do keep it at home, but taking insurance off soon. Then I put it in my 3rd stall on jackstands and call it a year. I will probably wait another week at least though, so have a tiny bit of time.
Thanks, this powerband is actually really fun, feels like what an evo power band should be i guess.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Nice power curve, Dave Now park that beast and have some peace of mind for a few months knowing the car won't need any preparation for spring!

The stock turbo was meant to be a temporary setup, I just wanted to get the car together. However, now I am really liking it so unsure if I care to swap it.

I feel like the graph doesn't even convey how peppy/fun this car is right now. I am digging it, never though the stock turbo would be so fun.

Indeed, will be nice to be able to do some normal maintenance in spring when I pull it out and just wash the car and drive it! Feels good to have a functioning car again.

As I said up top, originally this was a temporary setup but has since grown on me a lot. I really doubt I will change out the turbo next year. I have enough other stuff to buy, like clutch, surge tank, need a helmet for the track, tires, preferably new exhaust or get mine welded etc etc.
The new turbo is low on the list, very low. Maybe I will rework my stocker into an EF1 or something for a bit more top end but I don't know that I want to.

I will try my best, I have problems leaving well enough alone. But as I said, its nice to have a fully functioning car that rips again.

Meh, if I did go another Precision turbo, it would be 6466. The lag is almost identical to my last setup and has much more power up top.

It'll be ready for the spring cruise, I don't really intend to do anything major before that. And also, now that it can drive, I will probably pay someone to work on it so it gets done faster.
And as I have said, very very small chance of doing more than a bolt on turbo, at least for next year. And if I do go bigger again it will be borg warner and the EFR line.
But clutch, surge tank and new tires are probably all I get done next year assuming nothing breaks. I feel like my rear diff is angry with me and the torque it sees, so hopefully that lasts.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
So i found out my tuner is visiting MAP in two weeks, February 12-13.
Adam at MAP hit me up and said he was flying in to tune a shit load of cars on that Thursday and had free time on that Friday.
So I am trying to arrange to get my car there for that Friday to actually do a full dyno tune and finish my current setup!
Should be a good day if all the details work out and then I can see what the car actually makes on a real dyno again as I haven't been on one for quite some time.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
What's the current setup?
So this thing will actually be tuned and ready to go to right? That's gotta feel good.

same setup as fall. Stock turbo
Yes it feels good to have it mostly 100% except for wear items that need doing.
The car is mostly tuned, this will just finish it off 100% and we will see what this thing can really make.
But regardless yes it feels good.
