Initial drag strip testing..........

[David Buschur]

Well the tracks are finally open and we took the car out to D42 tonight.

Here is what is done:

2008 EVO X
3568 pounds with driver

BR 3" Catback
BR offroad pipe
BR manual boost controller
BR MAF pipe
BR filter kit
BR Upper i/c pipe
BR lower i/c pipe
Ported exhaust manifold and turbine housing
STOCK unported 02 housing
STOCK downpipe
STOCK fuel pump
STOCK tires/wheels
STOCK TUNE
KW Coil overs
Robi Spec alignment
93 octane gas only, ever, NO race gas or octane boosters have EVER been in the tank of this car
23 psi of boost maximum as that is where the factory fuel cut hits

Best ET was a 12.70 flat
Best MPH was 111.40 mph

Remember, NO tuning so we are dealing with 9:1 AFR's, fuel cut limiter etc.

We finally have tuning software so I expect these numbers to improve drastically within the next few weeks.

The clutch is weak. First run it slipped like mad. Trent was driving and ended up getting a 1.79 sixty foot time out of it which was the 12.70 pass.

Considering the weight of the car and the lack of tuning, the MPH is pretty darn good.

This is a decent start.

Can we say... DB and TS have the first X in the 12's?

Man that car has taken a beating this past week!

Great job you to!!!

[blackout]

nice times. I love how all the nah sayers are no where to be found anymore.

[sbstar]

That's not to shabby! It will definately improve greatly once you lean her out a little!

[rockjock]

So when can I buy the MAF pipe
Great times...I'll have all but the MBC installed by end of the month. Great product guys-the UICP and LICP lok great!

[David Buschur]

No, we were not the first in the 12's with the car. Track wasn't open soon enough here to pull that off. TT went a 12.51 with some race gas in the car, ACT clutch and way to bypass the fuel cut and a bunch of other stuff done, MPH was a 107 mph on the 12.51 run and 109 on another 12.54 run. There's a video up.

Maybe we are just destined to hold MPH records and not ET records! haha

Good to see its on the track. I know Vishnu isnt the best name in the Evo market, but have you guys seen the video online with this little black box that they claim to gain 71whp.. Or something like that. Just by plugging this box in!!!

Have you done anything with the ECU yet?

Here's the link.

Nice time Dave and crew.
The Vishnu thing sounds too good to be true. Therefore it most likely is. lol

[David Buschur]

We had no tuning at all done, bone stock ECU, no piggyback, no fuel cut defencer's, nothing. Just what was listed above.

Vishnu's product very well could raise the power 70 whp. He controls boost through the tuning software he has. The car has 23 peak and falls to about 12 psi. Keeping the boost closer to 23 across the board alone would gain 70 hp up top.

When you installed your MBC, didnt it stableize the boost across the powerband.

[David Buschur]

Yes, adding the MBC stabilized our boost but it is seperate from the tuning. If you tune a car and turn up the boost with the same software you can then make some HUGE claims for gains in HP/TQ but most of it is simply an increase from the boost.

David and yall I just read in a mag that a EVOX has run 10:90 In Puerto Rico. Of course it had many more mods than David's.

The article says 438 HP/453TQ I assume this to a wheel #s!?

Am I right EVOs are AWD?
