Another stock block 500whp+ pumpgas Evo VIII!

[MR_Scott]

We have a special Evo VIII that we had the pleasure of working on this weekend. The car was purchased new in 2004 and tracked a lot over the years. Over the past 5 years of stock turbo fun and great performance results the day finally came to go big or go home.



Insert the ETS HTA35R 86 single scroll turbocharger kit on some 1050cc TTP injectors with some new NGK plugs and AMSOIL Racing Dominator oil change. She was ready to go to work.



The modifications consist of INJEN intake system, Megan Racing Catback exhaust, Megan Racing testpipe, GReddy Type S BOV, Cosworth M2 Cams, supertech single springs and retainers, Walbro single pump, Fidanza Adjustable camgears and Forge UNOS mbc. The engine was otherwise stock along with the FMIC.



Once the injectors, turbokit, plugs and oil change was completed, it was time to go to work. We strapped her down and began working on the tune. Boost started out in the 24psi range and by the end of the tuning session, we had tuned the 93 octane pumpgas Evo up to 32psi. We settled on a boost level with a greater margin of error at 30.5psi peak.



Our goals were 500whp on 93 octane one this car and we achieved it.

Next stop is kind of exciting because we can do a direct test of what the addition of a FMIC will provide at this time and do back to back pulls on the dyno.

After the FMIC is added to the mix, we will have ECU controlled boost added, map switching and Aquamist HFS-5 integrated into the car, complete with boost map switching on the stock ECU.

We will be shooting for 600+whp on the stock engine and will have a TTP-Spec Aluminum Rod Racing Engine ready to go, if the power level is too much for the stock rods.

Here are the raw numbers:



***Update***

Took it to the track on Wednesday. Few knock counts forced us to turn down the boost a few clicks as mph went up a bit.

ETS will be sending us the 4.00" core to dynotest and take to the track for before and after results.

With the stock FMIC, here is the slip from the first time out at the strip on straight 93 octane, one of 3 passes. Full weight on Falken Azenis street tires and stock wheels.
