EVO X build- Time Attack purpose

Well it's gonna happen. After close discussions with Eric from EB, we are going ahead with the massive EVO X build. I will write my info in english- but Eric may chime in and translate back to french.

GOAL- build the fastest road course EVO X in Canada, that is daily driven and not trailered to the track.

ARENA- ASE Time Attack series- debut May 29th at Autodrome St-Eustache

ASSEMBLY- Autoworx in VSL.

TUNING- EB TUNING

PARTNERS- Perry Performance & Competition, EB Tuning, KW Suspensiom, Performance Friction brakes, DBA Discs, Bully Clutch and GULF Competition oils

My idea- Install the very best suspension and brakes. So I opted for KW Clubsport OTS coilovers, Whiteline sway bars frt & rear, Whiteline Roll center adjust kit and sway bar links. For brakes, I will start with DBA 5000 frt and 4000 in the rear, along with Performance Friction pads. I will try a variety of compounds from them and Carbone Lorraine in 2011. Goodridge lines and Gulf RF1000 brake fluid.
Bully has supplied a Stage 1 clutch kit and it will be mated with a ACT StreetLite flywheel.

Normally I would have been done here. But issues arising last year made me investigate several options.
First, to eliminate the fuel starvation after hard left cornering, I have a Kosmic/Perry Performance fuel surge tank and pump being installed. Now I can run with less than 10 litres in the tank safely.

I have ordered up 2 more sets of VOLK 57D wheels in bright orange- this way people can spot me easy on the track!! I will have them wrapped with Hankook RS3s for street class, Nitto NT01s for mod class and then Hoosier R6s for the Race class.

Steps in Eric..."Carl , why don't we build a fast and reliable track car"... I say- Ok, let me know what I have to order......lol
Enter AMS Performance- Intercooler, LICP, UICP, air intake, wide mouth downpipe, high flow cat ( to go with my Magnaflow cat back) and several dollars later, we are looking at 350whp.....

To keep an eye on things, Eric suggested a Synapse BOV, a Grimspeed boost controller and a Performance gauge pod for all my AEM gauges- EGT, AF and boost- ( we carry all of this in stock BTW....)

With Gulf Competition oil in the motor, REDLINE tranny fluids and HKS spark plugs, I think we are in business.

Follow this thread for updates as we get things going!

May 29th we debut it in competition...

nice carl i'm sure you can be the no 1 and good chance for your nice project

Avec les gars qui m'aide, je crois que le projet va etre un success.

Merci!!

Vraiment fou ca Carl.
Je voit pas de turbo upgrade sans ta liste? Est-ce quelques chose de prévu plus tard?

Tu vise quoi comme temps à St-Eustache? 57-58 sec.?

Dans ta liste je rajouterai un gros oil cooler et un gros rad en plus.

Lookin' great Carl, can't wait to see you on the track, and I definitely want a ride in that monster!

Nice dude !! Good luck with It !!!

Comme a dit BBQMAN (Carl) on va faire une petite traduction juste pour que tout le monde suive bien ce beau projet:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Voila finalement ca ce produit. Apres discussion avec Eric de EB, nous procedons avec une modification drastique de la X.

BUT- Construire le EVO X la plus rapide sur circuit routier au canda, qui est conduit de facons quotidiene et non pas amener sur un trailer au circuit.

ARENA- Serie ASE Time Attack - debutant le 29 may a l'autrodome st-eustache.

INSTALLATION PIECES - Autoworks a VSL

TUNING- EB TUNING

PARTENAIRES- Perry Performance & Competition, EB Tuning, KW Suspensiom, Performance Friction brakes, DBA Discs, Bully Clutch and GULF Competition oils

Mon idee - Installer la meilleur suspension et les meilleurs freins. Alors j'ai opter pour les coilover KW Clubsport OTS, sway bars avant et arriere Whiteline, un kit d'ajustement pour le roll center de Whiteline ainsi que leur link de sway bar. Pour les freins, je vais commencer avec les DBA 5000 en avant et les DBA 4000 a l'arriere, le tout combiner avec des pads Performance Friction. Je vais essayer different type de composite de eux ainsi que de Carbone Lorraine pour 2011. Ligne Goodridge et liquide de frein Gulf RF1000.

Bully a fournis une clutch stage 1 et le tout sera jumlere a une flywheel ACT StreetLite.

Normalement j'aurais arreter ici. Par contre certain probleme survenu l'an dernier mon fait regarder plusieurs options.

Premierement, eliminer le manque d'essence suite a un virage serrer a gauche, une surge tank Kosmic/Perry performance et un pompe seront installer. Maintenant je pourrais rouler avec moin de 10 litres d'essence sans probleme.

J'ai commander 2 set de plus de VOLK 57D orange - de cette facons les gens peuvent me reconnaitre facilement sur la piste. Ils seront chausser de Hankook RS3s pour caterogie Street, Nitto NT01s pour la categorie Mod ainsi que de Hoosier R6s pour la categorie Race.

Arrive Eric en me distant...."Carl, pourquoi ne pas en faire une auto de piste fiable et rapide"... J'ai dit- OK, laisse moi savoir ce que je doit commander....lol

On ajoute donc AMS Performance - Inercooler, LICP, UICP, air intake, wide mouth downpipe highflow cat (un exhaust cat back Magnaflow etant deja sur la voiture) alors quelques dollars plus tard, on devrait etre proche du 350whp.

Question de surveiller ce qui ce passe et garder le controle, Eric ma suggerer une BOV/DV Synapse, un grimmspeed 3 ports boost controller et un gauge pod pour y mettre mes cadrans AEM - EGT, Air Fuel et Boost (nous avons tout ca en stock en plus!)

Avec de l'huile Gulf Competion dans le moteur, REDLINE pour la transmission ainsi que des bougies HKS plus froide, je pense qu'on est en business.

Suivez ce sujet pour des update!

Le 29 mai commence la competition....

Ses peut-etre pas une traduction parfaite mais l'essentiel de l'idee est la

For the moment, no turbo upgrade, so no rad or cooler as well.

The goal remains that the car remains streetable and very reliable.

We are looking for 57s or better at ASE. Maybe faster on the Hoosiers.....lol

THAT'S CRAZY MAN!!!

Good luck with your build and time attack goal. I'm sure it will be done...

C'est cool!

Le Québec aura l'Evo X la plus rapide et si on est chanceux la Ralliart la plus rapide!!

Hey Carl, any weight reduction plan?
Back seats are overrated

Will it remain street legal? or street able?

Steph_ralliart05 a écrit:Will it remain street legal? or street able?

Both.

Wow, thats a huge undertaking especially with all the noise restrictions and enforcing happening the last few years.

That's why the down pipe is a widemouth and not a O2 open dump.
That would have yeld more power but would have also raised the noise level quite alot.

The magnaflow cat back is a bit more restrictive also and picking another cat back would also have yeld more power and more noise. The magnaflow fit in the "just noisy enough" category.

I think so far I've heard almost all exhaust made for the X after the numerous car I've tuned and the Tomioka Racing I have on my car and the Magnaflow cat back are the quietest in the whole market. I replaced the magnaflow because on my car with the bigger turbo it was too noisy but it was just perfect when I had the stock turbo.

wow beau projet la gang. j,ai bien hate de voir ca rouler une fois le tout installé. Tener moi au courant faut que je film ca

Aren't the rear seats foam pads weighing nothing?

Right now, no plans for harness, roll bar etc.

Steph_ralliart05 a écrit:Will it remain street legal? or street able?

Yup- Street legal all the way and very streetable.

Notice we chose the ACT streetlite flywheel over the Prolite... among other choices.

Seems like 40lbs but not sure how accurate.
Ryan Gates has a list of things he replaced or removed, shaving at that time 400lbs.
http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-x-general/396743-gates311-weight-reduction-my-evo-x.html
I think now it's closer to 800-900 with carbon fiber everywhere but probably not 100% street legal lol.

Well I just dropped the car off tonite. The boys at Autoworx seem stoked about getti8ng this project underway.

For weight, I always remove tools, mats and spare and if the seat is worth 40, I may do that as well.

The DBA5000 discs, as well as the Magnaflow and ACT FW should contribute to lower mass. The KWs as well.

Can't beleive I have to drive my ITR for the next 2 weeks.

Your already lightyears ahaed than everybody soo why bother with weight.
Even at 350whp it's an incredible achievement.

Set you goal on the 53 sec lap that AMS did in the 8 with 150 000$ budget.

I know you can do it. :D

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but the car has no aero, so its touh to put the power down.

BTW, I beleive the official AMS time was 54.7..... still far from reach....

It was a pleasure today to see the car perform at the first time attack. I really enjoyed seeing an awesome driver at the wheel of a powerful beast.

Only a few minor adjustement was done tuning wise to keep the EGT in check and I've changed a few small things to suit a litle bit more the driving style of Carl. That required him to adjust quickly but overall I think he was quite surprised

Ca roulé quoi comme temps?

58 et quelques de memoire. Carl va faire son commentaire et ce temps la, y a encore des ajustements de suspension a faire.
