Jonny's Evo IX

[Jonny IX]

Ive ordered some as you know !!!

 

[Jonny IX]

Im at a turning point in the cars development......

After the RR day and the dissapointing figures due to re-map etc, the car was re-mapped but not dynod Ant@IndigoGT did the map and he estimated a 400/400 car I still have some surge due to the HKS SSQV II leaking boost, however 400/400 seems to be the norm these days, im looking for the 500 mark as a finishing point.

Ive ordered a Ross sport manifold and a 3 " elbow and downpipe but im in two minds which intercooler to go for to get the best out of it ? bearing in mind I will eventually be adding a bigger turbo and forging the engine (It will be done over time so as to enjoy the car at different stages).


I have the AVC-R black waiting to go in also which should give me better boost control, a new dumpvalve has been ordered to cure the surge, im also hunting a Koyo rad too.

Breaks will also be sorted this year.

Im after info on whats going to serve me best intercooler wise the Greddy or the Spec-R ? Will it be worth the intercooler at this point ?


NEW PLANS

After chatting with Ant, the car is going to be forged on the current parts my respray can wait and it will only end up covered in stone chips as I fly by people LOL !!

Will I need the koyo rad now too ?
Which inter cooler will be best ?

A bigger turbo will be added later in the year to hopefully push the 480/450 with a HKS turbo .

Best intercooler wouls be a spec-r jobbie and it would come with all the hardpipes as well and best of all you don't need to have your bumper cut:wtf: This has been developed by Pete and Mark Shead of MaDevelopments

You don't need a koyo rad but Peter could make you a spec-r custom jobbie so it would all be spec-r under the lid and look very nice but as said your standard rad would be more than upto the job. Heres a pic from spec-r with a 800+ brake with a standard rad on

[Nickygixer-k5]

Was very nice a purebred track monster, there was a esc cossie there as well 800+

So finally got round to matching the bolts from pro-bolt, I used demon tweeks for the product code (as its round the corner),then I ordered them direct for loads cheaper LOL

Pics from my blackberry so not great but here they are....

The rocker cover bolts are being replaced with red and a good clean up tommorow in all the hard to reach grimey bits.

Does any one know is it safe to change the bolts on the head ??? The front 3 bolts on the pic of the head.

 

[Nickygixer-k5]

Very nice now share your wisdom with codes and quatities

 

[Jonny IX]

A few more pro-bolt goodies arrived today so I limped up the garage on my crutches and ......

The batt is a temp measure until I can get either a batt box or a nive adonised strap

 

[B6lee]

well done jonny, id get that battery sorted very soon though cos that hard pipe could chafe through to the live in that fuse holder then sparks will fly

 

[Jonny IX]

Cheers Lee ill have a look at moving it over a bit or taping up the fuse holder side lol

Just checked Lee and it is the photo making it look closer than it is !

 

[Jonny IX]

So had a go at my carbon gauge and stereo surround today, its in minus the stereo as im still figuring out how to relocate stereo brackets but for now here it is.....

The carbon beast is slowly coming along, in May the engine will be sorted with a forge and new turbo....then its all CARBONATION from there !!! LOL
