Done a deal with my modded evo 8 fq300 for my current evo 9 fq320 back in february this year, iv been gathering quite a few parts and now have started doing the work.

Here she is the day i picked her up.



This was the spec list but found out half the stuff listed isnt on car.

uprated actuator (standard)
3 port boost selanoide
decat down pipe
decat center
remapped
ap paddle clutch (exedy )
new discs
performance friction pads (standard)
hks exhaust
XYZ coilovers
fuel pump
built in knock link

I replaced the exhaust system with a 3in scorpion downpipe and wrapped it a 3in milltek decat and tsl firestorm 3in system.





I fitted a mishimoto intercooler and then visited dynotech where lee5 mapped it onto SD.
Whilst mapping there was issues with excessive smoke on overrun, yet they still carried on mapping the car and after a while decided 390bhp was all they could get due to engine issue on boost.
TBH im dissapointed in this, the car drives worse than on the original remap it had and the fact it cost me £££.

Pics of intercooler.





Here she is last saturday on the ramp at my work.

Couple of questions for you?

1) is there only 1 fan on your alloy rad, is it adequate?

2) what do you think of those mishimoto intercoolers?

I would appreciate your input.

Thanks

Im puzzled by your reply as it makes no sense?

1 fan is fine, had same fan on my old 560bhp evo 7

No he didnt F**k it up, it was just worse to drive imo to what it was prior, i expect it was down to the oil vapour going back into the system giving them a false reading, which is why im surprised they actually carried on and didnt just abandon doing it and put my original map back on.
