thanks 
im just curious as to why you would be against changing the factory radiator?
the upper radiator hose placement on the evo8/9 is far to close to the hottest area of the engine compartment.
we datalogged the engine temps @ settled operating temperature on both the EVO8 PWR to the EVO5 PWR, same core just the relocated upper hose placement.
EVO8- 92*c/198*F @ idle
EVO5- 88*c/190*F @ idle
btw, we do stock the EVO5 Pwr radiators(only $449) to accomdate these kits or just move your hose away from all that heat
Happy Holidays and New Year everyone

this is funny, you say take it easy.. i figure cause you are one of those people scared to rev the more liter engine, but then you say unless theres head work... which makes me just think you have no idea what your talking about. the stock head is good to 8k, and a built 2.3 can rev just as high no problem.

Very good numbers for pump. 12:0 on pump is lean but it makes crazy power. My car is running 11.8+ AFRs for over 30k miles now on straight pump gas, and that includes me kicking its *** everyday.
On another note, 2.3+35R is incredible combo. Only thing Id change is you should DEFINITELY rev out to at a minimum of 7500. 8000 is really where it should go.

Do you plan on building the block? I'm still new to learning about boosted cars so bare with me, but isnt the 35R (+2.3) capable of much more power (~600+)? I mean I'm not saying at all that his setup isnt producing as much power as it should, I'm not the one to judge that at all. What I'm merely inquiring about is the efficiency range for the turbo. If you were to keep your power where it is, would it be better for a smaller turbo? If this is a hyjack or just plain misplaced or deserves a "search!" then just ignore it, haha.

Riiiight. Good call. Forget I said anything, i shouldnt post that late at night. Awesome setup! I aspire to have the 35R + 2.3 combo some day. Just gotta get that evo first...
