Tuned

Just got my car Dyno and tuned today. I got rid off the straight pipe and installed a high flow cat instead. since the previous owner didn't took care of the car very much i'm trying to fix things.

Now the car responds better even at without the turbo spool, turbo spools 200rpm earlier, and the car accelerate smoother now

From 301HP/258trq to 309HP/283trq
thats with intake high flow cat only

Thanks to the tuner, he said i'll be saving a little more gas because of it

This is just the beginning. When the car is paid off, Monster sport parts and ralliart parts will come in.

I'll make sure I won't do the same mistake I made with my Evo 8 long time ago

Any reason you don't want to put parts on made here in the US? Such as AMS, Buschur, STM, ETS, FP...

I made a decision that the car was a rally inspired car so might as well put rally parts from the company itself or close. such as using ohlins or ralliart for coilover etc.

I'll try to get a hold of as much parts as possible from the companies that contributed to the mitsubishi WRC cars.

But i'm not saying that i'm not going to ask for services from companies such as AMS or Bushur for services like port and polish, balancing the crankshaft since they are experts for engine building.

My aim is to have an EVO similar to the rally car; 350-370HP max and matching torque or more, responsive engine and good handling but will not sacrifice street drivability (i will not gut out the interior) Stay on the 2.0 liter engine.

Car is silver right now and debating if I should paint it red with white wheels and black ralliart mud flaps or white with gunmetal or top secret gold color wheels.

This project will take a awhile. But i'll be patient and not rush it.

I'll try to get a hold as much as I can. If I can't find any, I'll go for Monster Sport.

That's why I'm selling my suspension and Volk wheels for these reason(wanna buy my parts? )
