Hi guys I am getting my Evo this week and I wanted to make some upgrades.I am aiming at about 350-380awhp. What should I get to support that kinda upgrades? Also how much boost can I ran to the stock engine and still be able to drive it regularly? Thanks in advance.ohh and after I get it I will have like $1000 to spend on upgrades.

you wont be anywhere close to that amount of whp with $1000.

Intake + exhaust + tune but that will be more than 1000 $.

I know $1000 won't be enough I was just looking for a start. Also what kinda tune y'all like? Somebody told me for bigger intercooler hoses intake and cat back exhaust and a tune.how much a tune may cost?

 

[DrivenFab]

PM Clipse3gt on here, he does awesome email tunes. that will take up a good chunk, then an exhaust will take up the rest, and thats only for a cat back.

clipse :+1:

if it were me...and i will hopefaully getting a new se in a few weeks. i drive an 08 mr already...if i had it to do over with $1000 to start i would get a nice exhaust and the ssp fuel injector relay package with the afr gauge. so when you do start tuning you can make sure your fueling stays in order.

Intake + full exhaust and a cobb accessport if you can swing it.

an intake isnt really necessary till over 400Whp right? the FQ400 si still using stock intake box. so for the most part a panel filter, TBE, and a tune will do better.

MR or GSR?

It has been proven in many instances you can gain a substantial amount of whp from an upgraded intake system. With a decent tune after adding an aftermarket intake system you can expect upwards of 30whp. A more aggressive tune will bring even more.

As most people have said, intake/exhaust/tune will bring quick rewards. Your car is set up conservatively for fuel consumption and pollution. Opening up your air intake/exhaust flow and tuning AFR will get you a good power increase to start.

I am getting a gsr. the one i found got sold.it was a 2008 silver with navigation and Aero kit.

You'll need alot more than a grand - We wish it was that easy lol! - but yeah, full bolt-ons will put you around 340-350 whp, youll need meth or e85 for your goals on the stock turbo. Just do one mod at a time, youll eventually get there.

i would try to find a good deal on tuning. cobb has a good one plus stock u can turn one stage one save the rest for a good exhaust. but just depends want ur going to be doing if ur going to autocross i would put money into brakes and tires put but power i would buy tuning or exhaust

Congrats on the new ride.. If your on a budget. You can find some great deals in the parts for sale section on here.. Get yourself a used cbe exhaust for around $250.. Get a depo Test pipe ($110), Grimmspeed 3 port ($100), Drop in air filter ($50),depo uicp ($185) and then borrow a tracix cable.. Get e tuned by clips3gt (not sure what he charges) This should get you close to your goals.. Save up some more and get some injectors/fuel pump on e85.. Of couse this is asumming your doing all labor yourself.. Do some reading on here.. There's a wealth of knowledge and most peolpe on here are willing to help...

You can get those gains from a panel filter. I've seen 400whp on cars with panel filters.
