I still consider myself a noob when it comes to "tuning". So I decided to make it an effort on my behalf to bypass certain suggestions from the Tech Guide. On my quest I went.

As some of you may know, I've indulged myself into using quite a few Evo parts on the DSM. Everything from intake and exhaust manifolds to rims and brakes to MAS and injectors to fuel pumps and FMICs...

Here is a list I have compiled of all the shit lying around the house. Some parts will go on sooner than others, but my addiction to collecting parts is getting worse.


Current Lancer Evolution Parts
Lancer Evolution 8 Intake Manifold (including EGR valve)
Lancer Evolution 8 Fuel Pump
Lancer Evolution 9 Fuel Pump
Lancer Evolution 8 Throttle body (including...

If anyone has looked through this thread, they would know I have all four Evo 8 calipers and Evo 9 rotors lying around the house. These will be a phenomenal upgrade from the puny GST combo. I also have to purchase the steering knuckles that will accomodate for these new calipers.

The "problem" is that now I have to look for some rims and tires. The tire option is pretty...

I guess this is my blog, my area (given to me by Chris) to say just about anything I want, within reason. So here goes my rant.

I'm so glad I am one of 10 (maybe 20) people in the United States that has a Lancer Evolution III intake manifold. How effin' sweet is that. Daren is going to beat me with the install & tune & testing process, though. Oh well. I've got 95GSXracer, ShapeGSX, zedder24, kpt4321, and GRNDSM (as well as many, many others) at my disposal, so I should be okay.

Can't wait...

Well, now I'm just waiting on the shipment of my used FP T28. Guess I'll be buying the upgraded actuator as well. I'm going to hate myself when I install this thing and can't turn up the boost due to OEM injectors. Or lack of DSMLink. I'm guessing this thing will pull harder in higher RPMs, which makes me think the injectors are going to be unnecessarily pushed to their limits. I hope...
