I say, its all good bro. If thats what ya want get it, your the one makin the payments who cares what other people think...lol!!! I like the car alot i just threw in my opinion of what i disliked about it, but thats why the say to each there own. Other than i'd rock it too!!

 

Let me put it much more simply...

1- Stock lip forces less air into the FMIC
2- Aftermarket lip forces more air into FMIC
3- More air into FMIC lowers intake charge temperature and turns up charge density.
4- Higher charge density & lower charge temperature means more knock control.
5- More knock control means you can tune closer to stoich and make more power
6- More knock control means you can advance timing closer to MBT
7- Advanced timing and closer to stoich means car gets more power. (best usually about 12:1)

Sorry if I lost you anywhere in there. Not all cars have aggressive front lips just for looks.

In general, its frustrating when the majority of people think "oh I just bolted on this new part and now I have XX more HP because thats what the website says" - most bolt-ons are power enablers: meaning you have to actually recalibrate something to enable your engine to produce more power.

 

I still think backpressure is not related to your idle problem. I think it is related to that HKS intake, or a boost leak.

Oh and BTW to Explain my negitivity, Generally when you buy Something like this weather it be a tuned Sports Car, or a lifted truck odds are it was not taken care of it was rode rough and beat to hell and back Drivetrain wise. You knew what you had with your truck with this you don't. You might have a perfect gem that the owner knew exactly what he was doing and took expert care of the vehicle while still using it for its means but all to often that is not the case. I looked at well over 75-80 Jeeps and turned them all down, some were awesome deals like you got, Deals that are too good before I baught mine for this exact reason.

Im not going to lie its a nice looking car, even though its not my cup of Tea. Good luck with it and I hope you don't regret this in the long run.

 

Good point.

 

Jp7 I should know tomorrow what is going on. I think she is going to slc to be hooked up and read out.

 

No you didnt lose me there...lol. And i already knew your point. BUT i still stand firm on the fact that, THAT bumper is not gonna make THAT much HP difference on that car, So now im all outta pee and cant hold a pissin contest anymore...thanks!!!

 

Jay I can beat your rice rocket with a 4 bannger ranger. Remember it's all in how bad you wana win. And how much you like your ride.

Nice score on the car, just don't wrap it around a tree...I want story time every now and again when you get a ticket.

By the way how fast has you got her so far??? Me wants to know

 

Some of you guys are so clueless.

An evo is a great car. Not a "ricer".

saying an evo is a ricer is like saying everyone with a lifted truck is a racist hick.

Get a clueeeeeeee

 

i only wish i could trade for a evo, its my dream car

 

Well unfortunately like everything in this thread that has been said including me that is an opionated statement and all in the eye of the beholder. Just because someone with a lifted truck makes that statement doesn't mean diddly. I have a lifted truck and i like the evo's. So there's ya a clue!!

 

You can have mine, just get me a mint R34.

 

would a right hand drive R32 work?
