Thought this would be cool as well to add to the thread. How about a few before and afters??
The motor of my JDM Evo I (with EVO III kit on it) when I bought it
The engine when I sold it. Wanted to do a few more things, but never got the chance. I'm a sucker when it comes to saying no. A good friend of mine wanted the car really bad and so I couldn't turn him down. I wish I did, but such is life
The first gen Evo comes with the basically the same motor as the Eclipse turbo (4G63) but with slightly better internals and turbo from what I understand. Mine came with a modified Big 16G which was a great turbo for our roads here. Wish I had a shot of the turbo itself so you can see what they did to it in Japan. I snapped some shots when I took it out to put in the dump pipe, but lost alot of my photos :doubt:. Anyways, the Evo's stock ran at about 8lbs of boost. With this turbo, I couldn't run any less than 14lbs of boost. I'm very conservative with my engines and cars. Hate to beat them to death so I only turned it up to 16lbs and left it there. My buddies who had Evo's would go as far as 24lbs on pump gas and in the 30's with a race fuel mix.
Here is the stock intercooler than comes in the Evo with aftermarket hard piping
My JDM SIR-G Integra before
AFter
Ben, this ones for you. Got the tow hook if you need to pull that chevy. Can't have you pushing it man LOL!
And as some of you know, we are the authorized dealers for Directed Electronics here in the Bahamas which carry brands like Viper, Rattler, Clifford, Avital, Precision Power, Orion, ADS, Polk Audio etc all fall under. Well, I threw something quick together one day things were slow to advtertise a bit for the shop. I've had some really big setups before, but always hear people say they want something simple that sounds good, doesn't cost a lot and also, doesn't take up a lot of space so I came up with this which would allow them to see what can be done in just a day and also offer them an opportunity to actually sit in the car and hear what it sounds like.
Lastly, I found this old picture. It's the first car (well truck) I ever bought brand spanking new. It had the 4.3 V6 in it. Wished it was manual, but didn't want to wait to special order one so got this because I needed a car at the time ASAP. This truck had a few small mods like Gibson catback exhaust, SLP posi rear end, beltech 4-6 drop, air raid intake, EGR limiter, Poweraid throttle body spacer, IAT relocator etc
