I just picked up a evo 9 yesterday and I love it a lot. The car below 3k rpm feels sluggish like a normal economy car. As soon as the engine gets above 3k rpm it becomes a beast. Feels like being shot out of a cannon (never tried in real life). LOL
So is that how your evo feels also? Super slow below 3k rpm?

The car has full tbe with no cat, pro tuned, and a cone style air filter.


One more thing I wanted to ask is does a stock BOV make noise? The car has a stock BOV and it makes noise, but not as loud as the after market ones. It sounds good though.

 

It's a 3200lb car with a 2.0l engine and a turbocharger. What do you expect before the turbo kicks in? Similarly, if you want power, don't drive at low revs. My Evo rarely sits below 3K RPM.

 

mine kicks in at 2500k

 

In what gear?

 

2500 rpms is very doubtfull unless its a stroker and even at that idk but yes its typical for turbo lag, it has to build boost to get the power and yes the stock blow off valve will make noise but not as much as aftermarket!

 

Full boost by 5100rpms pt6262 lol

 

I think you can tune the MIVEC and get better low RPM performance, but it is not easy.

 

Congrats on the new ride. Did you get that white one?

 

I see 22psi at 3500ish on the stock 8 turbo.

 

If you wanna save gas just stay under 3k

 

+1 :P

i love the 3k pushhh !!

 

I have the pt6265, mine kicks in at 4k.

 

I'm with this guy. Times are rough...

 

never heard of any pt6262 or pt6265 come into full boost before 5k unless your running <20 psi im running 35psi the more boost you run the later it kicks in

 

You're not going to get much noise even with aftermarket ones. Evo's require recirculated BOV's with the stock MAF. Some people run VTA BOV's but it's not recommended.
