I used to have a 2000 Trans Am with intake, LT's, hooker catback, lg g5x3 cam, RPM Level IV 6-speed, ect.. ect.. that made 408rwhp. I sold that car in July of 2008 because I was coming back active duty in the military and decided to free up some money. I have had a few cars since but nothing to really play with like a Jeep GC and 02 WRX. While I was home on R&R from Iraq this past June I bought an 03 Evo 8. Car came with intake, Buschur Racing turbo back exhaust, TurboXS FMIC, TurboXS bov, Exedy twin disk clutch, JIC FLT coilovers, and a few other odds and ends tuned for e85 making around 380awhp. Since being back to Iraq I have ordered a slew of parts. Complete mod list will look like this with new items in bold.

We're shooting for around 500awhp on E85, fuel will be the only limiting factor right now. This car will be a nasty daily driver.

My buddy is installing and tuning so I don't have the down time getting everything done when I get back from Iraq. Hopefully he'll take plenty of pics along the way... His Evo 9 sputtered to a 9.93 @ 149mph while blowing out spark. His new set up is on C16 and close to 50psi.

A few pics from when I bought it.

head getting cleaned. the GSC 264 cams that were in there started flaking for some reason and left metal flakes in there. GSC S2 (274) cams going in along with GSC lifters and GSC valve springs

cool build, expected hp numbers?

Black_95_Z28

Near identical builds have reached 520+ whp on e85. Going to limit the tune to 500whp on e85 tho since i'm still on stock transmission and transfer case. 91oct will be 430-440'ish. The goal for this car right now is just to be a nasty daily driver.

On e85, it made 505whp and 471 ft/lbs @ 32psi lastnight. There is still more left!

how high of boost you planning to run? what does a car like that run at that power level?

Black_95_Z28

iTrader: (8)

For now, it's going to stay at 32psi until my new turbo manifold gets done and put on. During the tuning lastnight, it was still rocking the stocker. 1/4 mile time, seen people running into the top of the 10's at mid 400hp levels, so with me driving, probably mid 11's

good thing i've got a new boost gauge. lol. all the ones in the car right now (put in my previous owner) are being taken out and sold, standard (damn metric gauges) are going to be replacing them.

2bar = 29psi

Thanks! it's been a long time comin, all 4 months i have owned this thing nah im excited to get it back and drive the hell out of it tho! talking about turning the boost up a bit more and see what she'll do tonight. also changing the lower intercooler piping will probably net 10 more hp out of it, the stock one is restrictive as hell, but my guy can't find it so it may still be sitting at my parents house
