    Fricks 2014 EVO X Build Thread

    As some of you know i started a introduction thread a couple weeks back when i picked up my EVO X. Long story short I’ve been daily driving a bolt gtr just over a year now. As I’m going away for the next couple years to a place full of rain and snowfall i did not want to put the gtr through that. After a lot of debating between the WRX and EVO i went with the EVO.

    Now for the fun stuff.



    I got in contact with my shop down in San Diego (ACG Automotive). They have done all the work on my other cars and are by far the best company I’ve worked with. They have a great relationship with many of top companies such as AMS and . I decided to go with all AMS parts for this build except the exhaust. I wanted a more quite and civil exhaust to try and keep things low key. Akrapovic filled all those spots and the carbon tips look fantastic.




    Part List



    • AMS Front Mount Intercooler
    • AMS Upper IC piping
    • AMS Lower IC piping with Tial BOV
    • AMS Intake (wrinkled black)
    • AMS Widemouth Downpipe
    • AMS Fuel Rail Kit
    • ID 1000cc Fuel Injectors
    • Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust
    • Cobb V3 with E-tune from Chris Black at AMS


    Everything was ordered up last week. I drop the car off this tuesday morning. I will be sure to post tons of pictures of everything as soon as they stat arriving. As well as them installed.

    Where is this land of rain and snow you speak of? And looks like this will be a fun bolt on evo as well. I am assuming you are going with a e85 tune?

    Up to Canada on a island off of Vancouver. I would love to have a e85 tune done but I'm not sure how accessible it will be where I'm going. Sense this will be a Dailey driven car I want something where I don't have to worry about finding a e85 station to fill up. Maybe when I get back I'll switch over. Even at that though the closest station to me is like 25min away.

    Actually going up to play hockey. While I'm there I'll be attending just a small community college to stay caught up. I hre up in Seattle so it won't be that much different from there. I will miss the sun and war beaches though.

    not sure if you know, but the X's have a problem with their AYC/ACD pump's getting crazy corroded and failing after a couple winters due to salt on the roads. A bunch of people on other evo sites have been complaining about it and its a 2g fix from the dealer. Mine's never even seen a salted road before and i just got the dash light for it at 64k miles (just out of warranty -.-). Took a look at it last night and there is some corrosion on a few of the fittings. Good thing for me though, the light tends to come on and off day to day... i'm betting when it gets hotter here in socal it'll fail completely.

    Since your car is new, it might be worthwhile to remove your pump and get it anti-corroded and sealed before you head up to Canada.
