After some polishing. Just waiting to install the Haltech Elite EMS, CJM twin pumps and TS rear diffuser.


Let's see who we will max out first, the S366 turbo or South bend DXD-B 6 puck clutch.

If 400-500 is your goal stick with the VQ.

Plusdaddy

As of right now but want to go up over time

I agree. Full bolts on and 100 shot will get you there very cheap and with no down time.

Plusdaddy

Ok I understand but I'm asking for a list of basic parts that you need to do install .. from your experience, I will install with 500hp and use like that and over time upgrade as high as my wallet lets me

To go single turbo in the beginning will make it a lot easier.


What trans are you going to use? It will decide the engine/trans mounts and radiator/fans setup.

A long waited update:

I was busy with work in a different city for the last few years. Didn't have time to work on the car. In the mean time I quit my job and now I'm a co-owner of a performance shop back home. Now I have all the time to work on my own cars.

In the last couple of months I bought a built Evo x 2008 with only 20k on the clock as a daily driver and in the market for an Evo 8-9. I just love old simple cars.

And regarding this project:

I'm installing a bigger turbo and shooting for 1000whp. I changed the SouthBend DXD-B since it didn't hold the power with the last smaller turbo to a SouthBend Stage 4 Extreme clutch which is rated 800+ lb-ft.

And I'm Installing the Wiring specialties CAN BUS Pro harness with my Haltech Elite 2000 since I wanted everything to work like OEM and the only option for me was this harness. The quality is really great, everything is labeled and built to specification. And so far the costumer support was really great and helpful. I spent like 20+ hours yanking the old harness and all it's wires and run everything back like OEM. It feels good to wire your own car and not cutting corners.

Will try my best to keep this updated.

Nicely done! Didn't think 19x10+15 and 19x11+15 would fit so well. What tire sizes are you running? I have my Nismo 19x9.5+15 and 19x10.5+15 sitting in boxes and need to decide on tires as it's been nearly a year sitting...

Front 255/35 and rears 295/30. Completely rolled fenders.

This a picture before I raised the rear. It wasn't rubbing except when I drive over bumps. I might lower it again a little bit.

Also if anyone wants to utilize the OEM fan control and relays for their aftermarket fans use this diagram. Thanks to the guy who made it.

OEM relay rated at 40amp iirc. Most SPAL fans are 20amp or less.

My car is a 2008 and the colors match.

Received the Turbo. Custom Borg Warner S372 SX-E. Good for 1200HP.

Now need to weld a 90° elbow to the turbo outlet and start the car.
