I have been in possesion of an Evo 1 for a year now and its time to start modifications. I have been doing some research on different aspects of the vehicle and was wondering what are some of the things you guys have done.

So, what upgrades have you guys done and where did you get them?

Well I don't own an evo 1-3 but basically those cars ran 10psi if I'm not mistaken.

Usually people change the fuel pump and run a boost controller (all the ones I've seen used a Greddy profec B) and took it to about 15psi safely. Some even uprated the injectors as well...

Of course exhaust is also performed by many (3") and also the intake by means of simply just an aftermarket filter.

A good set of platinum plugs is also a benefit, but don't count out a fresh set of normal NGK plugs.

As well of course many change the stock clutch setup. Some choose the street and strip way for a little more drivability, or the copper route for more performance. That choice is up to you in the end.

Evo 1-3s have the same engine as the US Eclipse. Upgrades and parts are readily available out of the US as well. I suggest you have a read at dsmtuners.com or dsmtalk.com (found those via google).

Ok, i think they run at about 11-12 PSI.

I have already installed a walbro fuel pump and ACT street and strip.

Looking forward on redoing the intake and exhaust next... Any suggestions?

3 inch exhaust from front straight to back will free up d power in the mid range to high rpm area rel nice. Boost controller, I see u was talking bout 22 psi no way on stock set up, can safely run 16 psi tuned wit and safc and pushing it 18 psi on pump gas and 20 psi on race gas. Intake is needed makes a hell of a alot of difference HKS has a bolt on set up which is ideal. I have an evo 2 which is my daily driver which i currently run 16 psi tuned wit an safc II and i have also been doing my research just as u have, if u want i can send u links to some good sites just for your knowledge etc. I would definetly stress on getting an apexi safc if u gonna up boost as i'm guessing u working on a budget here right so any sort of management is out of the question. Oh and most importantly make sure that your timing belt, balance shaft belt is in good shape. I would also recommend getting a metal head gasket and while u at it some arp head studs just to make sure tings safe. These small mods that are not soo costly will really free up some power trust me.

Budget...


Made a typo with the 22 there hoss.


Where can i get the HKS intake for my car?

Looking at going the full management way, but in a timing. Wanna do mods one at a time and log the difference.

I figure my next mod will be intake.

I guess a good start would be W2J on the forum, or TUNER IMPORTS, give them a call and see what they can source for you they have a lot of familiarity with these cars and engines and have some aftermarket support for these models.

real good advice dey gregory...........

THANKS BRO JUST SHARING A BIT OF WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM RESEARCH AND FELLOW EXPERIENCED EVO 1-3 OWNERS LOL.

think about how much good it would do to your engine and then you would notice tha 1200 isnt much

550 for a K&N works good 4 me

^^ true eh, but i guess some ppl would prefer apexi over K&N....which one last longer *this question is directed to someone who had both* if it have anyone like that here.

i wont know......

ive been using K&N since i had an intake and it works good and clean up is easy.....

I currently have the apexi intake set up works for me.

^^^how much u pay for it?

apexI workin good here also.

Funny thing is I have the HKS and it works great for me..

JJ16 check GT RACING he might be able to handle yuh.

or call Brian last night I saw the complete BOLT on kit fo rthe EVO 1-3 /389 7333
