O_o Jigz you should rape a stock X. Ivory was pulling evo 8's and 9's with bolt ons and tunes while she was untuned. Dont wanna thread jack but im curious. do you know what timing you are running at WOT?

**4g63lover** · 01-10-2013, 12:50 AM

No idea. Devin is pretty hush with his tunes. Though one thing I forgot to mention these were all highway runs in 5th gear. I was pulling them without even downshifting. I have yet to play with an EVO X in a gear lower than 4th.

On the way home from factory MOD I was playing with a grey evo x on the expressway. Left it in fourth gear, and I was running from him for a good 5 mins until he blew past me (ran out of gear). A couple of days later, I get a PM on JDMChicago by the driver asking me what was done to BabyG. He was astonished when I said "a little over 200whp" because apparently he's got a lot of mods and he was legit working to catch me. He then proceeded to tell me his car made 500whp on A-specs dyno and a little research of his username confirmed it.

Now, there is no way I am making any amount of power to even keep up with is X but the fact that he had to WORK to catch BabyG was enough satisfaction for me.

Sorry for the Jack Martin, but this ^^^ is what you have to look forward to! =)

OK word thats much better. I was about to say from a roll on the street you should be demolishing. *thumbs up* :)

**greddy** · 01-10-2013, 01:04 AM

I"m looking forward to the power, I'm sure I'll figure the speedo out soon enough, now all the evos I pass in the corners won't fly past me on the straights :)

**greddy** · 01-10-2013, 01:15 AM

any suggestions on the speedo though??? other than doublechecking my wiring?

**Ivory8g** · 01-10-2013, 01:21 AM

Thats all I got on that one. The speedo should work without bypassing anything or changing anything so it leads me to think its an incorrectly pinned wire in the harness.

**4g63lover** · 01-10-2013, 06:42 AM

The speedo harness wires were tied into the grey plug but went to a diff connector, you didn't chop those off right?

**greddy** · 01-10-2013, 09:12 AM

No they are all still wired up

Our stock intervals aren't that weak. They can handle some power!! As long as they don't constantly beat on it.

Back on topic. Jigs mentioned something about a better flowing head!! Care to elaborate there??

If you say so. Weak. Our Stock Internal are not for boost period. The only solid thing on the block is the crank.

Baby it or not you still boost putting stress on it specially if you did not changed the main and rods bearings oem or race.

When u start getting happy about 10psi and start think yeah good tune could go up easy 250+ is pushing it. My 2 cent. All im saying enjoy boost but dont start pushing the limit just because it works.

**greddy** · 01-10-2013, 01:14 PM

Mild port on the head. Just cleaned up for better flow nothing huge guys i still have the stock tb so we'll see

Actually the weakest spot is the pistons. The rods are the same as the evos, the bearings are made from the same material as the evo's.

**Isaurio** · 01-10-2013, 01:45 PM

^my point is still "weak". Evos has smaller crank. The strokes are different. People are compering evos 2.0 and a 2.4 block internals. They both have different stroke. Dont matter is the bearing are made the same material or the same mold. Is still different setup.

**greddy** · 01-10-2013, 02:07 PM

Ok well i only want like 220 whp if i blow this.motor im gonna part out.the.car lol

**duh2150** · 01-10-2013, 02:15 PM

if you have a evo 8 ecu and your connected with lets say a a boomslang, the 8g ecu is an input and on the evo 8 ecu its an output your having mixed signals, that's why it jumps

crank angle 100mm stroke to a 88mm piston, compared to something with a less stroke, its really down to how you want your setup, evo guys like the 2.3L setup,
