Thought I would post an update on some things I'm doing with my new Evo. I don't have time to do a whole writeup so for now I'll just post a list of the stuff I've installed and some of the pics. Just finished the exhaust system today and man does it sound good! It has a very smooth exhaust note and not raspy at all and not too loud. I'm excited to get this thing back on the road, should be done with everything tomorrow and post more pics.

That exhaust looks good! Let me know if you'd be down to make another one

Looks like another nice T3 setup.

Nice to see someone who knows what they want from the start of a build. Instead of trying to throw a cash at a setup that wasn't designed for target HP in the first place.

(Speaking from my own personal experience on another car I own.)

I see so many of the stock frame turbo guys put on a $1k+ tubular manifold and wonder why they just didn't go with a T3 in the first place. Live and learn

Sure looks nice. What was your rationale for the Bosch pump over others?

I see a cracked manifold in your future.

Dude. Those welds are sick. And the exhaust style reminds me of the UBER rare Thermal Development exhausts.

Darin D

Thanks guys. The manifold isn't completely done yet. It will be braced underneath and coated after I test it and make sure everything works properly. There is also a flex section in the downpipe to reduce stress to the manifold/ exhaust system.

I went with the bosch 044 pump because the setup is simple and they flow well at high pressure.

bosch 044 pump flow more than walbro and more dependable than a aeromotive ..


I forsee the next fastest evo x .. Darin is the chuck norris to the automotive world ..

supragrl93

Haha, nice! I hope he goes out and tries to be the fastest but he's wanting to keep this car nice and very streetable, so not sure he's going record chasing with this car like he did with his supra.

It always starts out little by little ...

What ever route Darin takes with this Evo X, Im sure it will set the standard for others to chase. Titan products in an Evo gives me goose bumps!

IMO, you could have used something with a rolled tip to give the muffler a more "finished" look.

Darin D

I don't work for Titan anymore. They have nothing to do with my Evo build, so no Titan products on my car.

I agree about the muffler tip. I haven't really decided what I want to do with it yet but it's not going to stay like that.

Got everything done today and drove it to dinner to get the 1000cc injectors tuned in a little bit and check to make sure everything worked properly. I had it just running off the wastegate spring which is only 14 psi.
