Ok, so I'm new here even though Ive had my evo for nearly two years...at first I decided not to mod my car.....buuuut I couldn't help it...So my question is for you people that have gotten tuned and know more or less what kinda numbers ill be making. I'm getting tuned this SAT so I dont want to expect more than what is achievable with the following mods for an 03 EVO 8:

- Injen intake system with upper and lower intercooler pipping
- Megan 02 housing
- Injen downpipe
- Invidia test pipe
- HKS catback
- Hallman MBC
- HkS fuelrail
- HKS fuel pressure regulator
- RC 750cc injectors
- Walbro 255 fuel pump
- NGK one step colder spark plugs

I plan to eventually upgrade turbos so thats why some of these were recommended to me as supporting mods so I wont have to worry about them later. Any help will be appreciated thanks a lot. OOHH by the way if I should post this somewhere else to get more input please let me know....I just put it here cuz im a newbie and I thought I sure put it here first

I was gonna say... you have a bunch of unnecessary mods on there for a stock turbo. Where is the 10.5 hotside? Injen uicp/licp is overpriced, more than one piece and not a good design in general in my opinion (I had it on my 03). Get a one piece from AMS. Also, I wouldn't install the new spark plugs and the injectors just yet. It'll take only 20 minutes to put those on anyways. If you're planning on going with a bigger turbo get an extra set of those 1 step colder ones and keep them along with the injectors until you get tuned with the bigger turbo. Also, where are the cams? Thats where the power is at

hahaha no hotside and no cams...my buddy actually told me not to mess with cams just yet...he tells me that they are not worth it and to do it when i have no other mods and want to get those extra 10-15 horses...i don't really know though what do you think?

I think a little over 300 whp will be my guess. Like 34 turbo said, don't do the fuel rail, injectors, and FPR untill you plan on throwing down 500 or so horses. The 8 can be a torquey monster if you tune it correctly but like 34 turbo said also those mods really don't fit well with each other and yes the 10.5 hotside will be needed.

keep the stock plugs until you reach around 380 or so plus.

Hotside and cams will definately help. You should be making some decent power with those mods though. Not great power but just decent. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say 260 awhp on 21 psi. I don't know about that 91 octane you got in California, that will hurt your numbers.

well what kind of dyno is this going to be on

I'm makin 276whp and 300ft lbs of torque at the wheels with ported headers,02 housing, 10.5 hotside, hks downpipe, buschur 3'' catback, buschur licp, works filter, and works P2R reflash with 21psi at 91 on an exedy twin HD clutch. So I would kinda guess it would be more sinse he's gonna have the test pipe and intercooler pipes with intake. I dunno maybe it could be the oil I use hehe.

I think its gonna be a dynojet

MrMejia

at least we have the WORKS tuners. oops but I still use buschur parts ha, gotta have the best of both worlds.

To think of it, he might be making more similar numbers with your numbers or less. You have a ported manifold, 02 housing, and 10.5 hotside. Those are some pretty strong mods. Oh yeah, the buschur catback also yielded the highest hp last I checked.

why thank u sir, I do my homework and I'm happy someone appreciates what I've done. too bad I have to sell my creation .

I'm giving you that number also because I don't want you to get dissapointed after your dyno. If you go to the dyno expecting low numbers, you won't be let down no matter what, unless something goes wrong. You should be above 260 for sure. Good luck and update us with your results.
