Me and Steve got the pleasure to drive in this car. I was set to tune it in ohio before i left, but had no idea it drove or ran the way it did until i seen it there. It was misfiring at idle and on the dyno it misfired bad also during the pulls. It still managed to do 650 on BR dyno and roasting tires on dyno creating smoke. David even thought it was going to blow on the dyno it ran so bad.

Shortly after we pulled it around the back and i borrowed Ronnies laptop and dialed the car in. the people around me were confused how within about 5minutes it sounded like a completely different car.

It went from misfiring at idle to running like a stock evo at idle. startup went from 5-6 cranks to a half or 1 crank and started cold and warm.

So i got it dialed in pretty good then we drove it back to motel and dialed it in even further. We decided to take it out do some power tuning.

This car is beyond words fast. Steve said it felt just like Leos 1000WHP GTR hes been in. at 38psi i couldn't even get a datalog from the car because it just lit the tires up in any MPH in 3rd gear, and 4th was too dangerous at the time on the street so we decided to stop.

Heres what we came up with. the car was probably heavier then this with all 3 of us in it because he had so much stuff in his trunk when he opened it up. Car has full AC, full weight, nothing removed from this car.

I had to take a breath before he did pull, thats how retarded this thing was. The tq was wicked.

He took it to the track the next day and it broke something in the transmission, so we never got a pass out of it.

This was the white evo with the teal wheels. im sure those who were at the event seen it on the dyno before i retuned it

Even at 26psi it felt really good. felt like a 140 car at 26psi.

 

Badass. Good job Tom!

 

Good job man, Tom on a killing spree with all these crazy evos!!!! lol

 

Was it "tuned" before you got a hold of it in the back and fixed it?

If so why and who tuned it.

 

awesome job,2.4L high comp and 6466 seems to be nice combo

 

Great power and great read. Sounds like it hauls.

 

The original post is much better when done in "The Movie Guys" voice. Good job on the tune mate.

 

It was tuned before by a monkey. I had a chance with TSCOMP to look at the map, I was amazed that some tuners on here get away with some things they do to ROM's. I don't even tune and i could of made the map better 100%. It went on the BR dyno for a few pulls it was stalling out and was making a rod knocking noise. I told the motor was cooked.

Turns out after Tom did some adjustments on the laptop and the noise went away it was crazy a tune could make the motor sound like rod knock.

I did get a chance to go in this car with Tom. We had 3 people in the car and it was doing full blown burnouts with M&H Radials in 3rd! It felt just as fast as a 1000whp GTR that I got a chance to go into awhile back. This car is def a 150mph car for sure not even with a lot of boost.

 

congrats to the owner of the car . you are in good hand now with Tom as a tuner .

 

^^ Couldn't agree more.

 

Good to hear it is running better people ran out of the dyno room as the pull started.

 

Yea I ran out too! I thought I was going to blow up with the noises it was making!

Did it not sound like rod knock?!

The second tom flashed the ROM all the weird noise went away I was crazy!

 

Whoever assembled that thing did a good job if it survived that bad a tune and made 650whp on the Dyno. Insane power for the boost. 6466 is a badass Turbo.

 

DO you have any graphs with 2 byte rpm.. It skews the graph when it reads 7968 for to long.

 

Since this thread is about my car, I suppose I should chime in with my first post ever...

Tom really came through for me when I was out of options. Just getting a tune was a mission and no one out of South Florida was willing to tune it (but that's another story). It took a lot of time putting this build together with the goal being a high revving, high hp, fast spooling street evo that messes around at the local track. Tom made that happen because I knew I couldn't drive it with the previous tune.

I'm curious of what it's full potential will be when it gets strapped down to a dyno and max out it's power. It'll have to wait though because it did break something in the drivetrain on the first pass at the Shootout. I'm now suspecting it's the transfercase...

The builder is Josh Echevarria that works with TD Autowerkes and knows his way around an Evo and racing.

It was also a pleasure meeting Tom and Steve. I look forward to using tscompusa for tuning, parts, and advice in the future.
