Well, practically every car should be set up to run more rich than anything else to be on the safe side, but the Evos run richer than most factory turbo'd cars do. That's what I'm saying. | ||

Just a guy towing a car across the country to chase a dream. Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 9,272 Member No.: 30,193 Joined: Jul 25th 2008 Location: Plymouth, MN | I'm being told that a bone stock Evo should gain about 30whp on a tune, which is perfectly fine with me for now. And for the record, the fuel system, as it sits, can support upwards of 300whp, I'm just not interested in that quite yet. Baby steps (and of course, supporting mods over time).

Tunes can really unearth whp like that. People weren't joking about the car's potential with such small modifications. Plus 300 whp is a solid amount, and should be what you'd be putting down with MBC, TBE and tune from what a lot of the VIII owners have done. Anything beyond that, and you may want to invest in a new fuel pump. But like I said before, that amount of power is already plenty and can get you doing low-12s in the quarter. | ||

Mind if I ask for some ball park factory AFRs at WOT? maybe some dyno runs illustrating the point? | ||

Ill take a look around for stock dynos/data runs next time. |

We're the People's Front of Judea! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 13,123 Member No.: 1,355 Joined: Feb 28th 2004 Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | Chinese Walbros are junk. Ive yet to see many issues with actual walbros. That said theres a HUGE flood in the market right now of chinese walbros being sold as real walbros. You need to know what youre looking at to know which is which. |

I would guess it is higher flow rate than stock pump though, isn't it? | ||

More likely the former. |

If it makes you feel better, I got one to go in the grale that I never got around to installing yet. ( Not that I need it yet, but I will in the future ). | ||

Wanna hear some loud pumps play around with some aeromotive fuel pumps. AWESOME fuel pumps (what we use on the supercharged vipers), but mofos are NOISY. |

Just a guy towing a car across the country to chase a dream. Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 9,272 Member No.: 30,193 Joined: Jul 25th 2008 Location: Plymouth, MN | Update time! Met the previous owner face to face yesterday, the car previously made 292 at AMS in Chicago with no more beyond what it's currently got than exhaust and an MBC. The tune that did this is supposedly still on the ECU, but that remains to be seen. I have an MBC, a little sooner than expected, but that's no fault of my own, it was pretty much forced upon me after I was up on the rollers... the car made 170hp/171tq... At wastegate pressure. f**king dealership took the MBC off when they got it, threw the stock lines back in there, and didn't bother to check if the stock pill was still there, so the WGA saw unrestricted flow from the boost source. f**kers. I'm picking up and installing gauges tomorrow and this shit is on. Image size reduced, original size: 1024 x 683. Click here to view the image in its original dimension. New tails, btw. The ghey chrome is gone. |
