Omegis RA to Evo X swap progress
#151
Started drilling holes on driver's side. After talking to bronto, realized I had safe room to drill holes for tie downs. Also realized I should charge my drill when I'm not using it. Got the holes started and I'll take plenty of pics and try to get a "how to" posted soon. It'll be secured by the end of the night.
Update: Done!
Tucked the trunk mats under the board above the spare tire for now. Battery box from Summit Racing is huge. Probably great for stock battery but big for a small battery. I'll look into cutting out some support material to place in between the battery and box to secure it laterally. It's secure forward/aft and vertically.

Very informative thread man! just wondering if I can get away with the original location of the RA BOV or do I really need to move the BOV like the Evo X set up?

Thanks for the links man.
But I think I'll go with the same intake as yours (AEM) coz it looks so neat and I'd like the AEM filter in the box.
So I believe I have to relocate my battery and get the Evo x shorter scoop.
What parts did you use to relocate your BOV?
Thanks

I see... Thanks man. If it's ok with you, I would like to ask you some novice questions about the EVO x swap as I'm still gathering all the parts needed.
Coz my worry is the basemap I need to use temporarily when I drive to my local tuner. I believe I can't use the GST basemap once I do the swap even for just a short trip...

A strong insulation job might come in handy when you next have the box open - and are holding a metal spanner in your hand...

Been looking at doing a turbo application on my ES and was didn't know if anyone knew what parts were necessary to add...besides the entire RA turbo setup that are swapped out?
Noticed a few complete turbo setups for sale from RA owners who upgraded and sell their OEM kits for ~500.
I wasn't sure if anyone knew of anything additional I may be having to look into later on the accommodate for the turbo.
Interesting read, awesome to see other people doing work and not just switching to an EVO.

Forgot to mention this sooner. If you go with the AEM intake built for the X, then you'll want to purchase the following mount labeled #6:

Also, still hunting for a CBE. After 6+ months of research (very picky), CP-E is at the top of my wish list but it seems to be sold out everywhere.
