It Begins

Over the Past couple years we have been testing different components and setups on our Evo X with some very good results. Until recently our Evo X was laying down a healthy 260kw at the wheels, with BBK Full Turbo, Hyperflow Intercooler Kit, Na Auto sports dump pipe, and a custom Ecutek remap. Since those days plans have taken a slight detour. We are currently build a fresh engine, sporting a Nitto 2.2 Stroker, On the top end we have a set GSC Stage 2 274 cams, along with a ported head. Force feeding the engine is CBRD's new 33R Turbo Kit, including Tial waste gate , and CBRD Dump pipe. The Hyperflow intercooler will remain, to help keeping cool air to the Cosworth Intake manifold. Fuel supply will be entrusted to a custom surge tank setup, and 1600cc injectors. Engine will be controlled by the factory ecu with a custom Ecutek Retune. The Body will receive some subtle improvements such, APR front lip and diffuser, and a little more. follow the build on our facebook page.
