My EVO 16g story

[AiR]

well some of you guys might remember me saying i boguth a brand new evo 16g and wanted to know what to do with it what mods and what not, but anways i was concerned with boost creep cause lots of people have it but mine did not i was very surprised.

I have 2 words 1) Holy 2) Shit

i dont know what i was doing with that t25 in there but the difference between the two is like night and day, power keeps on going all the way to redline and just shoves you back in the seat. people have told me 15 pounds would be safe to run but right now i am at 10 just to keep it safe and that is plenty boost wise. just want to say thanks to the board for givign great reviews about this turbo and helping me out with mods i need to get done for it to work well, next mod is a intercooler.

 

[IMMORTALSPYDER]

Glad you are enjoying your new turbo. That turbo won't even start to breathe until 15psi

 

[NewB2dsm]

You have a fuel pump and the other simple bolt on's right, like full exhuast, intercooler piping and what not. If so 15psi should be pretty damn safe.

yeah i got 3 inch exaughst walbro 190. Brode UICP, 1g bov, in jen intake, boost controller.

and i just noticed this when i get to full boost in some gears one of my warning lights come on, its the top right on one of the 3 that come on when the alternator goes bad with the bars going vertical and glows yellow, anyone know why this is? thanks guys for the help ill try turning it up a bit and see what happends

 

[rowlex]

I think thats the radiator indicator, check your coolant level.

Window washer fluid. Does it do it when going around turns? Under the spare tire is a well where the window washer fluid is kept, that could be it. I know my light comes on fromt hat.

 

[blackGSX2g]

Haha, yea I know that light. I got that on heavy launches/accelearation and when I'm doin donuts :laugh:

Did you port the 2G manny, EVOIII turbo, or the 02 housing? Just wondering because I'm guessing you have extra back presure from the cat, o2 housing, and manny that's keeping the turbo from creeping.

 

[truwarrior]

well?

 

[98spyderboost]

Sounds like washer fluid or coolant level is low and when you see some Gs the fluid moves away from the sensor. Lemme guess the light doesnt always come all the way on, just kinda fades in and out for a second or two? Another thing is keep it floored when the light starts to come on. If the engine keeps reving and the light starts to go back out after the Gs level out. Then thats most likely your problem. Just a thought.

 

[98spyderboost]

Oops did I just repeat half the thread.... Hmmm sorry. I'll read more next time

 

[truwarrior]

Did you torque steer into a ditch already or what?

 

[90 GSX]

The low coolant (on my 1g at least) sensor is in the overflow reservoir. Sometimes if it's low and I get on it in first or second gear it will light up until I let off the gas haha. Just tells me that the car is still running good!

 

[sonicnofadz]

That light comes on sometimes on my car, but my radiator is full to the max (with no air bubbles anywhere). Turns out my water pump is dying...careful

 

[AiR]

well i pulled all the bottles for washfluid and other things so it wouldnt be a sensor doing that light im gonna have to go with the one about the water pumps seems like that would happen to me. and yes who ever saiud that it just flickers on and off is right is comes on kinda lightly then flickers and then stays, kinda wierd but right when i let off it isnt on

 

[AiR]

and no i didnt port anything its just 3inch turbo back exaughst and a catco high flow cat

 

[Eclipsei95cl]

yeah the power difference in my t25 and 16g really blew me away too but that feeling lasted about 6 months and just went straight t3t4

 

[blcknspo0ln]

HAH! i'm totally on the same boat since i'm already bored with my 16 psi evo316G.. next spring calls for 550's and some tuning and 20 psi.. after that, i'm going 50 trim

 

[illusioneclipse]

I am running 20 lbs right now and i love it. Pulls hard to redline. All i need now is traction.

 

[lowridin2g]

people have told me 15 pounds would be safe to run but right now i am at 10 just to keep it safe and that is plenty boost wise.

get your supporting mods covered and a good tune and try it at 22 psi

That's pushing it a little on pump gas, don't you think?

 

[diambo4life]

That's pushing it a little on pump gas, don't you think?

...as long as it's not owl piss 91. I used to run almost 18-19psi on pump myself with little to no knock on a 14B. Of course that was on 93octane.

 

[super95awd]

That's pushing it a little on pump gas, don't you think?

I run 30psi on the fp3052 on pump with no knock . Granted I have 950's, but 22 is very achievable on pump gas with a 16g.

 

[lowridin2g]

some people are just afraid to tune and turn up the boost. i run 22-23 psi on pump gas on my 50 trim on 93 octane. i used to run 23 psi on my big 16g on pump gas. its all in the tuning.
