Evo 9 summer build with red, numbers inside !!!

[mantosride]

Let me start by saying its been a long road all of one summer. I went from bone stock to the following set up.

AMS TBE
AMS FMIC
AMS LICP
K&N filter
FP Red 80 (27 PSI )
FP red intake pipe
GSC S1 cams
AEM wide band
Greddy boost controller
Tuned by the Colt4g63 ( username on evom)


I am currently tuned for 93, and running 27 PSI. I made 430whp and around 359torque, Car is a completely different ride, the power band on the car is amazing, night and day from stock, this thing just keeps getting stronger and stronger as you get upstairs. The turbo comes in nicely and is smooth all the way doesnt seem to fall on its face as you go through the power band. This set up is defiantly what I was looking for, and Is where i plan on keeping the car for some time to come. If you where thinking about doing a red do it ! it rocks ! However please dont forget about your supporting mods, do it right !

On to my next issue, tuning, if you dont have access to a local shop that does reputable tuning, dont try to do it your self, and mail ins are not always the answer. Every car is different, and in my case my car was a pain to tune. If I had choose a mail in, my car would not be where it is today. It required on site tuning to make my tune right, this could not be done with a mail in, would have taken a whole year. Colt4g63 just happens to live down the road from me and has been involved in the Mitsu community for years, friends with many of the guys at AMS, and well respected for is tuning ability, he is the role model all gear heads should look to. He spent endless amounts of time into making my car right, no half A** tune here, He never stopped to it was right ! When I had questions they where addressed, When I was having newbie concerns he took the time to check out the car again and again. Not only does he tune all the EVO's in this area, He tunes other cars as well, and is very good with AEM as well. If you happen to live in or around this area I highly suggest you look him up for your next tune, he has endless references. If you want to do a mail in tune, he does those as well. He doesnt advertise on here because he runs a successful RC engine building company that holds many engine speed records, and that is where is main focus is. Do yourself a favor, look the guy up Colt4g63. I have dealt with a few of the mail in companies and was not impressed with their service or there rates.

Well I am done rambling, I hope that this short review of my summer build will help others make the right decision not only in their part selection but more importantly their tune. Your parts cant come to life with out the right tune !!

My tuner will be posting up my charts here shortly !

Blevins and I have spent many a nights up kicking back maps helping me nurse the "starter map" that was previously on the car into a healthy state. He's definitely helped my car run better and he doesn't mind helping along a newby. He knows his stuff and has really helped me along with my tuning knowledge.

I've had my car tuned on a dyno here a while back, but have since made some changes to my setup, I'll be letting Blevins take a crack at it to touch it up and iron a few little nagging issues out. Heck, hopefully I'll have my E85 setup by the time I go back up to louisville. Then all bets are off
