NIevo's '03 Evolution VIII & TrailblazerSS

[NIevo]

Here is my ride, '03 Evo VIII. My current mods are:

10.5 hotside
Buschur intake
RMR/HKS exhaust
Hallman MBC
Buschur UICP
Buschur Deluxe FMIC
GSC 280/280 cams
DC Sports Manifold
Ebay/Buschur O2 housing
SMC Alky Kit
Forge BOV
Cusco Twin Disc
ARP headstuds
Buschur Front Motor Mount
Zeitronix ZT2
Megan Coilovers
Self Tuned

New best time is 11.36@121mph! Still with a conservative tune. My goal was a 11.5 so Im pretty happy with it. If I can hook and get it leaned out some more I may be able to break off a 11.2. Still stock turbo and full interior.

Here is the '06 Trailblazer SS. Best time so far is a 14.65@95mph. That was the first time out with 2 people in it and completely stock. Come to find out there was a few things we were doing wrong on the runs which should get us some 14.3's-14.4's completely stock.

Mods:
Front lowering collars, -1.25"
Rear airbag adjustment, -2"

Oh, ok I read his thread on EvoM. I hich we would get some E85 over here.

[Kolat]

E85 sucks imho, the octane on it is nice but the amount of energy you get out of it seriously sucks and causes you to have to use TONS of it to make power compared to gas.

T

[NIevo]

Well most people tuning it on Evo's have been able to extract almost C16 level perfomance from it. Even if it drops you to 15mpg thats still not bad for $2.50 a gallon or so.

[Kolat]

heh, I still remember when speedy threw the rod in his 2g eclipse tunning on E85....was logging it when it happened, no knock at all.

New pictures added!

[NIevo]

Thanks!

Looks fricken sweet man, how do you like the Zeitronix WB? I was looking into them, they look pretty sweet and very well priced for what it is. What did you end up spending on it if you don't mind sharing.

[The Hog]

Well ya already know im a big fan of the dark wheels :-)

[rrussell]

Car looks awesome!!!

Nice work on all the details!

[NIevo]

Well I just installed the Zeitronix over the winter so I havent really used it yet. I like all the extra features you can run with it. I am going to be running failsafes for the alky injection with it.

[QWIKRNU]

The car looks sweet!!! I was thinking about powder coating my stock wheels the same color.

[The Hog]

Might read this thread before you go powdercoating your wheels.

[NIevo]

Thats why I didnt powder coat mine. You have to be very careful of the temps. There have already been instances where people have been on a road course and their rims exploded.

[The Hog]

That and you can paint them for a lot cheaper anyway hehe. With some of the paint out there today, there really isn't much need for powdercoating.

Yeah, my traps are up abit now though. Was between 119-120mph last Friday and the tune is still rough. I think that 121mph or so is going to be the max though because the turbo is running out of steam. Your car is pretty badass though, I am very impressed.

[LITLREX]

Hey whats up. Ive seen a black SS a couple times out there, not sure if it was you or not though. Is yours 2WD or AWD? Very nice times for it being stock. I feel thats about where we would have been with alittle better conditions. Are you on any of the TBSS forums? Heres the best one http://www.tbssowners.com/forums/index.php alot of cool guys on there.

I just got the ADM tune/intake installed and we are hoping to take it back out on the 27th if the parents come into town to watch the babies. Hoping for some 13.8's-13.9's if the weather isnt to hot. Not bad for a 4800lb SUV and 2 car seats in the back:rofl:
