Default Trip to WRC-Tech with the EVO....

Took my 260 to WRC-Tech today and apart from the bloody non-stop roadworks between Leicester and Silverstone I am well chuffed. The car is transformed and feels mighty lively all in all very pleased with the result

EVO VIII 260 with:
ECU-TEK Map
HKS Induction kit
HKS DV
Blitz boost controller
3" Magnex Exhaust

Nice improvement there Andy especialy getting rid of that nast drop in power around 3500-4500rpm.

Nice overall power increase

Have you done anything brake wise to your Evo yet?

Ive been looking at the various options, getting mixed reports though. Its looking like either the AP strap drive or Performance Friction. Have you any experience of either?.

Enjoy your new found power

thats the good thing with the 260's, you can get a lot of power for not a lot of money
we have an evo 8 FQ300 with the bigger turbo & injectors, that makes over 400bhp

Good to see WRC Tech are still turning out the goods - i worked with them over the summer while i was 'on the learn'

I'm assuming it was Chris that ran it on the rollers? Australian guy? - Knows his stuff

Brakes always seem to be the issue , Andy how are yours holding up i am on 5.6k and they are ok but definately not perfect,

Am also looking into some AP's or other alternatives but it seems the AP's are the way forward.

Enjoy your power Andy i have heard good things about WRC Tech

I did a track day in mine and didn't hammer the brakes, consequently I did a full set of tyres but I still managed to warp my front discs slightly

so I agree the standard stoppers aren't quite up to it.

Yes it was Chris, what hair that guy has LOL!! They have a specialist in there now who deals with Porkers I think his name was Andy but they are doing some big conversions on Turbos and GT2 650+ hp oooohlalalaaaa
