Hey guys,

I got some cash at the start of the new year and I'm looking for some advice on what to get for my stock 2003 Evo 8. Except for the fact that I have a JGT turbo back exhaust and a K&N drop in Air filter, nothing much. I'm looking to improve the performance of the car significantly but I don't want to go ***** to the wall. Here is some of the things I'd like to get.

Gauges - Air / Fuel Ratio - Boost gauge and Oil Temp

Electronic Boost controller

Up pipe on the exhaust - havent found one online, do I have to buy the whole kit?

Replacing the lower intercooler tubing (Saw it in the modding for noobs thread)

New Fuel pump

Any thoughts? Or suggestions?

Thanks!

Reevo

 

Well you got the TBE, I'd get a manual boost controller, walbro fuel pump and get a decent tune. That would be a great start.

 

Warlboro, Cams and a tune will wake your car up significantly.

When you say "up pipe" I'm assuming you mean "down pipe". Evos do not have up pipes like Subarus do. If you have a TBE you already have a new DP so...

Skip the EBC and lower IC piping. Gauges...get what you want but, if you use a logger tool you probably don't "need" them.

 

boost gauge
MBC
Walbro
Cams
Tune

 

how much do you have to spend is the real question but as everyone stated

boost guage
MBC
Walbro
Cams
Tune
Port some parts out(intake exhaust manifold T/b)
3.5 intercooler
Aps twin vent bov
upgrade to evo 9 turbo if money is limited for now

lots of good stuff just need to know the budget

 

I hope you were talking about a wideband when you said A/F gauge. If not, and you were talking about narrowband, don't even waste your money. I don't know why people are telling you don't get a LICP, but it will help. Why would you get a big FMIC, and keep the restrictive piping?

The "Modding for Dummies" thread is great to go with when you're on a budget. Just make sure you do the "basic" mods before you start worrying about bigger stuff or you'll just be robbing yourself in the long run.

I have 3,500 to spend but I'm doing the 30,000 maintence. Along with a system and tints, but I have amps and a clairion head unit. I need to pick up some dynamat and a small bazooka tube. But yeah I'm drunk and i post more thoroughly tomorrow love you guys!!!

 

ya do that post tomorrow LOL. if you have that much to spend you have options take out the money for the sound system stuff then tell use how much is left after that

 

how much was the stock when you got it and what did you sell it for?

how many stocks

 

Get a Walboro 255, A MBC, Cams, Boost Gauge And Upper And Lower Intercooler piping. Then a Tune of course.
