Sorry for being late I traded my 2012 SI 8 months ago for a base model 2014 EVO X GSR!!

She's making 335AWHP and 335AWTQ at 28psi

List of Mods on here so far:

Invidia N1 single exit catback
Ultimate racing testpipe with Mini muffler
ETS intake
Grimmspeed 3 ports boost control
Upper intercooler pipe
Accessport V3
AEM A/F ratio wideband
BC BR racing coilover


The day I found her sitting at the dealership :D

The day my two girls met each other and also the day I have to say goodbye to the SI and welcome the EVO X

Great switch. Any other plans for the future?
 
Very nice ride! That's a crazy amount of boost you're running. :omg:
 
Congrats on your purchase. Did you run snow tires this winter?
 
28 lbs of boost seems like a lot to us Si guys because we have a high compressio ratio, so it only takes what, 7 or 8 lbs for us to hit like around 300 whp. Cars that are built for boost typically run a lower compression ratio and more boost. For example I believe the Focus ST hits 17 lbs stock. That Evo stock hits probably around 20 or maybe a tad more. Still I love Evo X's, thats is one awesome car and probably a blast to drive at that power level :)

I'm familiar with this I have a lower compression build on my older civic. I guess I just didn't look at it from that point of view, I've never had the pleasure of owning a factory turbo car.
 
Posts on the evo forums claim they've hit 20-24lbs peak boost being stock at certain altitides.

Future plan will be to push her close to 400AWHP with E85 without upgrading the stock turbo.
The next mods will be:
Downpipe
Fuel pump upgrade with E85 compilable.
1200cc fuel injectors.
3.5 intercooler.
Retune for dual map 93/E85.

The car is awesome I enjoy her every times I drive. The only thing I don't like about the car is its need a 6th gear because cruising on the highway in 5th gear at 65mph right around 3500RPM and that's a lot of gas need to be burn.
Also the mpg is suck on this car if I drive her like an old lady I would get at least 17mpg in the city but if I drive like an idiot I probably get 13 to 14mpg.

Thank you! yeah I got the same reaction when I told people my car running 28psi lol. But it's just what it is with the evo x and I think stock EVO is right around 20 or more psi

Thank you!
No the car still on stock summer tires lol.
I just want to wait to get a new set of rims for her and then buy a set of winter tires then.

Yep and thank you! I love every minutes of it :domokundance:
 
BTW you daily your EVO or is it just a weekend warrior? My friend has one too and it can get very noisy on the highway. If I remember correctly 5th gear is at 3k RPM just over 60mph. Other than that they handle like a dream bone stock.

It's my weekend warrior but sometime I DD her once in while. When it was stock it's kind of noisy but after installing the intake and exhaust she's sound a lot better but u still hear all the rattling and road noise etc. To be honest it worst than the SI lol.
 
Conrats man. Sad to see you sell the Civic but I bet that EVO is a ton of fun. Hope you really like it!
