monkeyfish76's Evo X build

I have never started a build thread on here because I was mostly stock. I finally decided to go with some bolt-ons and switch over to the corn juice. I am a noob when it comes to tuning and Golden has offered to help me, so thanks in advance Golden.

I will start with the few mods I already have:
1st mod was like most others, tinted the windows.
2nd cat delete pipe
3rd was I painted the inside of headlights





4th was CNT racing exhaust
5th was tinting the tails side markers 3rd brakelight, reflectors, fog lights.



6th I painted the factory gsr wheels and debadged the trunk.




7th was a dyno tune at the bday bash at MKC, I have had a an Idle issue since the tune. Nothing major just hangs sometimes after I go WOT and resets when I shut the car off. I don't drive the car in the winter and mostly drive my Jeep during the week.




Winged warrior is coming up so I wanted to get this issue fixed before that event. I decided to buy a tactrix cable so I could attempt to fix the issue myself instead of driving 8 hours to MKC.

Next I got some new wheels xxr 522,s and got some conti dw's.






I received my tactrix and figured out that I need a wideband as well to get any logs. (Clear example of my noobness)
Last night I decided to go ahead and take it to the next level. I ordered an AEM wideband gauge, Turbosmart BOV, ETS CAI, and I'm trying to decide between dw1000's or FIC1100's and I'm leaning towards the FIC's. I will also need to order a bigger fuel pump like the walbro 255? I hope thats enough if not please chime in and let me know. I will be ordering the injectors and pump tonight or maybe early this week. I'm also looking into an intercooler and uicp I just cant decide on which one yet. I'm gonna rock the stock turbo for a while then maybe go to a green or a red. I am really excited to see what its gonna do with these new mods I'm hoping to see close to 400whp.

Got rid of my cheap chrome lug nuts that I had to get when I ordered the wrong titanium lugs...yep I'm retarded order 12x1.25 instead of 12x1.50. I installed my new titanium lugs and I had some daylight left so I installed my Turbosmart BOV...So far so good idles well, no flutter and sounds real nice. I might go back outside and try to install my wideband now.

^^Whats up!? I ran the other Grey Evo X last year. You still waiting on purchasing the injectors/fuel pump for your E85 conversion?

Recommendation on the injectors.....ID1000's w/plug n play adapters. DO NOT PURCHASE THE DW1000's. Far too many engine failures over on EvoXForums. I just did a "small" upgrade and put a set of those in. AMS was able to tune them with no problems at all. Car starts like stock.

For the pump (you will need one if E85 is going to be your choice of fuel), I would see if Cobb has any of their kits. I've heard they are hard to get but looks like a solid kit for a decent price.

If strapped for cash at this point, do the UICP before the intercooler but both are better of course

Good luck. We should chat at Winged Warrior.

I finally decided on springs. I ordered a set of H & R sports, I really like the drop on the other X's Ive seen with them.
