Thanks Jeremy for trying to ease my dismay. If my car was intended solely for rallying and had some type of restrictor plate to limit hp numbers, I'd probably be alright with current figures...alas, this isnt the case. Hp should be higher and it will be very soon - I wouldn't care if it still made 315 or so torque (that number never bugged me). Made the decision when I woke up today as I was dreaming of big dyno numbers and low ET's last night.

Wasn't planning on playing the dyno game, but apparently my car had different plans .

Ian dont get wrapped up in those IDC numbers vs. seeing if the car is going lean.....in my experience its not totally accurate - I ran my stock injectors up to 112% IDC and my car still was holding a steady high 11 AFR.

Is it smart to push stock injectors for a long period of time? no but I think 110% is closer to 100% than the actual 100% is in evoscan. Also get your AFR at a minimum of 11.5 - no need to run that rich up top, leaner is meaner my friend

Dont forget its getting colder.....that alone will raise IDC at the same boost levels.

I do it myself....saves me a ton of money - plus you get to learn a thing or two.

Yes, the larger housing is for the surge protection only, it doesn't help in increased airflow per say, as much as having a higher diameter tube for the 64mm turbine to suck air in. If you take the turbo off the fans only take up the normal 64mm.

450 will come soon enough, with my basic bolt ons before the turbo cam and clutch swap i was making low 300s, after the swap i was making 385/350 on 93 which wasn't too bad, but I was really running out of injector. I had bought a set of 680ccs online just so I could tune it with the stock turbo and be alright, but after the swap I needed something bigger, that if I wanted down the road could support E85, I chose the 1200cc precisions. After the E85 conversion the best pull we had was around 450/390, but I still have to get them to tweak the MIVEC map so I should be around ~460/410.

I have been shopping around for a built 2.0 or 2.2 so we can really see what the turbo can put out, but for now I am happy with these numbers. I just really want to get an upgraded shortblock so I won't have to deal with a mess when something goes...

jim, what numbers are you seeing on your e85 sensor from sheetz (verasun) e85? just curious because my afr's are running ridiculously lean all of the sudden but i would expect the winter/fall blend to be the opposite.

so its the weekend again and im thinking about how i wanna get a new clutch back in the evo

ive thought about this... exedy twin is out, even if i could get a good buy its just "overkill" in my eyes

so my options have been more along these lines:

ACT HD 6-puck- ive driving an evo with this a few times and i liked the feel of it. the pedal feel and the engagement which its a bit rougher but i like that. stock has gotten a bit to girly and i dont really want that

ACT HDSS- i see this one as a little more stockish but able to handle more abuse obv. seems like a lot of people have this

Exedy Single plate organic- prob the closest to a stock clutch out of these ones. i just feel this would be a safe bet since its exedy and its seem you get more of what you would expect out of them

Exedy Stage 1- just one step up from the single plate above. same things, exedy seems to have better rep than ACT...

for a while i was thinking, oh yeah, why not get the 6-puck since i somewhat liked it and i dont really hear too much about the high rpm lockout like you do with the HDSS. but i asked the guy and he said he does have the lockout with his 6-puck like alot of ppl seem to have. As for the exedy clutches, they are slightly cheaper and i think they would be more of a "smart" decision since they dont seem to have any notorious problems.

since i have broken it down to these guys here, anyone have some advice to throw my way. I read a bit about all of them, but i honestly cant spend countless hours weighing all the pros and cons of each of these. I dont have that kind of time. Plus im kinda bad at weeding through the exaggerated biased B.S. and the true stories. i know someone in here has one of these... i would hope

Went to the Beaver Run Oktoberfest. Did the Course Control Flat Out session. It was a blast. First time getting the car out into a real event. There was a bit of moisture on the track in the morning. I was pretty worried about how the car would handle. After the first turn, I was like holy sh*t this thing really does handle that good.

I was out in a group with an Z06, older Mustang 5.0, STi, WRX, Speed3, and GTI. Lapped the Speed 3 twice in one session. Passed a bunch of the other cars mentioned. The only car I had trouble was the GTI. In terms of pure power, my Evo was hands down better. However, that GTI really handles the turns. That and I have the cheapest all season radials on my car (from previous owner). I bet if I had track tires, i wouldn't have had any trouble with him.

If you guys haven't done anything like that, I highly suggest you do. Ours was a abbreviated 2 - 20 min sessions. I guess their regular flat out days are 4 - 20 min sessions. I think I'm hooked. I think this determined the direction my car will go.

As a side note, I was a little disappointed with the gearing of the 6 speed. I found myself using 3rd and 4th constantly. I just never seemed to have a good opportunity to get it into 5th gear. I was talking with the STi guy and he said he was running in 6th gear quite a bit. Seems odd. I'm not sure how the gearing differs between the two.

They have a Flat Out day scheduled for the 24th of October (might be the last one this year). Get your car ready!!!! I'm definitely going to do it again. It would be fun having a couple Evos running in the mix especially since the Subie guys represented.

Also, make sure your brake pads and tires are in tip top condition. They get quite a work out.
