im not trying to go all out on building this car right now so im just doing some bolt ons before i tune it and im wondering what numbers i should expect.
My car is a 05 MR
Mods so far:
TBE
intake
MBC

before i tune im getting:
intercooler pipes, walbro fuel pump

it will be tuned on 91 gas because thats all i can get in cali.

with this setup, if i have them turn the boost up to like 23-25 psi, what numbers do you think i can put down, hoping for like 320 maybe?


also im wondering if i need to get bigger injectors before i do this or if the stock ones would be fine??

thanks guys i dont really know anyone with evo's so any help i can get from people who have experience with building/tuning evo's is much appreciated

im not sure yet but theres a nice place right by my house called Driving Ambition, they are known for their work on NSX's, but they do tuning on anything, they built a crazy 700HP turbo NSX track car.

Oh ok nice. Well isn't the 05 MR turbo the same as a 9 turbo

No. It's still the smaller turbo with a 10.5 turb housing. Don't worry about what numbers you make...they dont mean anything...worry about finding someone who knows our cars well. If you can't find a good shop that tunes Evos often, you should go with distance tuning with Mellon or VRSF.

You are somewhat close to GST in Hayward...they would be a trustworthy place to bring ur car to get tuned. They have a mustang so be prepared for lower #s, but thats not really important. You wont need bigger injectors for those mods either

Nope 8 have diffrent comp covers. Id hit up a evo known shop FFTEC,GST, Boosted Tuning does my tuning (road tune) and always does a great job and very good pricing also your going to whant to convert to the tephra V7 rom lots of good features.

I had about the same setup as you when I first got tuned (05mr).

I strongly suggest you get cams then a tune. Cams makes so much difference on our evo8 engine, because evo 8 has weaker intake cams compare to evo 9.

In the future if you want more, then do the turbo.

Listen to my advice and you won't regret it.
