The power is good but without John @ Road Race Engineering's JIC "MAGIC" setup the confidance to go from a first lap @ 2:30 to a fastest lap of 2:03..within 2 trackdays would have been IMPOSIBLE!!!

I think to really appreciate the RRE setup you need to go to the track with your stock suspension first to see how it handles


Quote:
Went to RRE today and got my suspension dialed in with a anti-sway bar by John, and all I can say is the car is amazing.The way the car handles and turns compared to stock is like night and day. The car is like butter and the ass swings around perfectly and NO MORE UNDERSTEER!!!!!! I recomend this mod to everyone who either cant afford the RRE JIC or wants the most out of their stock suspension. Thanks to John and Josh for doing a great job on my car.


Notice any common threads here.... Serious, my car handles like something else now. You have to experience a car whose suspension has been tuned by John Mueller at RRE.

The fact that they were working on my car at 2:05 AM in the morning to get my car dialed when they were going to willow springs 5 hours later and entering the evo scc evo challenge says it all. Nice to see a "real" business that actually stands behind what they do.

Thank you very much!

I recently had them work on my car , and since i track the car doing suspension upgrade was a must . But since i have so much to learn my next step was to do at RRE their alignment, rear sway bar and bushing set up by John L. Mueller ...
The car handles night and day , all wheels now are in full contact , takes turns amazing ... Plus excellent customer services by the guys at RRE...
Can't wait till i take the car back to the track and see what it can do on hard corners..
+ i had the chance for John to drive the car around (test run :wink: ) and see what the car can do at its best ...
:shock: :shock: i still can't believe what is capable ...
Thanks a lot John for your amazing work "YOU GUYS ROCK !!!!"
My next step is the JIC set up by John @ RRE ( let John work the magic on the car :cool: )
You guys have a customer for life ....

On 91 octane you gonna be running really rich to shoot flames. on 100 octane it's much easier.

Blak94GSX
03-31-2004, 06:49 PM
This isn't a mod for street cars anyway. It is really only useful for cars that run leaded fuel frequently on the track. For street use the stock cat flows decently and is still effective at reducing pollution. This will keep you out of trouble a bit more.

The RRE cat delete is sold under rather strict rules if you look at the site. RRE can't be held responsible for improper use of the part, but it isn't something you want to just run out and buy. This shouldn't be thought of a "regular" upgrade on the mod path for a street car.

4G63POWERED
03-31-2004, 08:01 PM
Ive never seen fireballs coming out of it. Has anyone everused leaded gas on their car? What will it do?

Blak94GSX
03-31-2004, 08:04 PM
The lead kills the cat, assuming you have a functional cat. It doesn't happen immediately and the cat can handle more than a few gallons of leaded fuel, but it isn't a wise idea to run a lot of leaded fuel through the cat if you want to keep the car in a semi-clean emissions state.

There isn't going to be much in the way of a noticeable power difference between the stock cat and a test pipe. The main difference is the noise and emissions.

If you have some monster turbo running 35PSI of boost then a test pipe might help with power output...

GokuSSJ4
03-31-2004, 11:19 PM
i use to run c-12 which is 110 octane before , but it was an ALL MOTOR set up .. if i would try to run 91 i would had to mix it other wise the car would ping (an retard the timing). Runing 12.8 high compression is not cool on 91 . Is like asking to run 22-24psi on 91 with out having detonation is not going to happen , unless you get into find tuning . But even the best tuner has there limits to what they can accomplish till higher octane is needed. Obiously the car would benefit from that and you can advance the timing once you are running higher octane , other wise by retarted the timing you are killing the hp gains that you would obtain from running such set up. like Blak94GSX said it , is best if you track the car to get the best out of it , other wise is usless running such high octane and you dont get the best potential out of the car. Also it starts to become expensive .... Unless you can afford it and are able to have access to it ...which also it becomes an issue... unless you just track the car and at the track you can obtain full with no problem , other wise theres only certain locations that you have access to ....

I totally disagree, i have a cat delete and a vishnu tune, i couldnt be happier with the top end power this test pipe produced and not to mention turbo spool was dramatically lower, an engine is an air pump, the more air you get in and the more air you get out in a faster amount of time, the more power

That may be true with most DSM's but the EVO has totally different plumbing and removing the cat makes a big difference.

EvolvedDSM
04-01-2004, 01:22 AM
I'd say the exhausts are pretty much the "same" and both would benefit from the switch to a straight pipe in place of the cat.

GokuSSJ4
04-01-2004, 02:05 AM
yeah but you have to remember that now with the evo you are also running OBD2 , now either with the test pipe you obtain (is like a sensor ) that makes believe the ecu you are running a cat , that way you dont receive a SES light.
An now since you are running an Xede theres a big difference from running a stock ecu or stock settings . Since now you are tunning the car for all the things that you have and are not bolting things randomly . As you can see with Tony's dyno sheet how by installing a highflow fuel pump with out tuning the car , it can hurt the performance instead of showing gains. Same thing can happen with a test pipe or a rally cat :roll: as long as you plan to tune the car since it can make the car run lean .... Thats one thing i dont like about OBD2 is way to damn sensitive to mods or drastic changes to what the car is doing ... While tuning helps and makes the car run at its best ... An you are able to see at the same time to make sure that you are having gains of hp instead of loosing hp ....

2G DSMs are OBDII and don't have any problems (other than the CEL/SES light) when installing a test pipe. The rear O2 sensor simply tells the ECU whether or not the cat is working properly. It doesn't have any effect on fuel mapping. It will allow air to flow out of the exhaust faster, which may allow more air to be sucked in, but the MAS will pick up the additional Karman vortices and adjust fuel accordingly. Tuning will aid in the matter, but the ECU should be able to compensate just fine on its own.

the ecu only compensates to some degree, not "adjust accordingly"

The relatively small changes of airflow in/out of the engine shouldn't put much of a strain at all on the ECU. If it can handle 3+ lbs of added boost, it can handle a few extra CFM that a test pipe would bring into the equation.

I bought a RRE x-clutch from road race engineering and installed it somewhere else cuz i couldn't wait. The clutch wasnt acting right and i couldnt change gears at high rpms. I had a few people try and adjust the clutch including myself and no fix. I figured i needed a new clutch or re-install. They helped me out and fixed the problem in just a few minutes. They even offered to replace it for me which shocked me. Their awesome people. if ur gonna buy parts for ur car, go through them if u can. Amazing customer support. Special thanks to Tony and Mike!

Hey all,

Just had an RRE rear swaybar installed with new trailing arm bushings and a slightly more agressive alignment. The set up is great, it's really well put together and makes a significant difference over stock.

Overall, the car feels a lot more neutral and is easily controlled in high speed sweepers and sharp corners. I'm looking forward to getting it back out on the track to compare it to the stock suspension/alignment set up.

John Mueller and the guys at RRE were great and really knew what they were doing. I highly recommend their shop, especially if you're looking for parts/advice/tuning on your suspension set up and components.

John's special alignment settings also really made a world of difference. Turn in is sharper, the car feels more stable in a straight line at speed, and it really suits my driving style.

We'll see what the alignment does to tire wear, but hey, that's not why I'm doing all this.

Anyway, just wanted to compliment the team at RRE and let everyone know that they're great.

I wanted to thank Roadrace Service( http://www.4g63.com )for getting my car out during the holiday weekend. Robert Garcia worked right through thanksgiving and the weekend to get me my car back. I call that service above and beyond. If that wasn't enough, he opened his shop at 10pm on SUNDAY NIGHT to let me get the car and stayed around while so we could do a final checkout of the new setup.

The best part is everything works and he kept my "looks like stock" setup exactly the same as when I left the car with him. I went to a lot of trouble to make things look stock with custom cold air that uses the stock airbox, custom manifold that fits under the heat shield etc. cdi setup and so forth. A lot of stuff on my car is one off and unique to my car alone.

Everything is right where it is supposed to be and the new motor works great! I got exactly what I wanted without surprises and everything just works. I cannot recommend RRS and Robert Garcia highly enough for your custom engine building needs.

The guys at road race rock, plain and simple. They've always been good to me and a lot of people that I know. I am fairly dissapointed in your new setup though Mark. I never had to sit around waiting for Mark when I knew he was on the way over to my place. I could hear him when he was about 3-4 blocks away, and then I could SMELL his car from a third story apartment when he pulled up across the street (if any of you have ever smelled C16 you'll know what I'm talking about). If your new setup is as quiet as you say it is, you might actually have to come up to the door and knock! Good stuff man, looks very cool and I can't wait to drive it!

Nice Tom :roll:

I upgraded to a full 4g64.

I think it is worth noting that my motor survived 34 track days, 39k miles and other assorted abuse. I ran most of it at 24-26 psi. It was still running when I drove it down to get yanked and I traded it towards the new motor. These motors are awesome. As long as you keep them tuned...

Regarding Bj's Cylinder Head Service. Crack all you want, They were one of the best shops in the country and did work for the likes of John Shepard, Al Fried etc. The work on the head and intake manifold was first rate if you could get it. It is sad to see a company that did such awesome work have problems.

You only wish you had a head this nice :-P

I will be adding a custom radiator + oil, tranny and power steering coolers and the power plant is pretty well done. The low boost tune is coming along. Runs great and the spool is just nuts. I have to finish breaking it in now before I turn up the wick. I will be concentrating on making it stop next with the stoptech giant brake kit.

Back on topic- I love the 2.4! Thank you again to the Road Race family + scot gray for steering me right O0

I searched for a "Official" RRE thread, but didnt find one. Prolly soon there will be one. Anyways.....on to my experience.

I have taken my car 2 times to RRE, once for a ticking in the valve train and my clutch. The first time I called about the valve train noise, RRE asked me to come on in so that they can check it out. What was great about this was they just told me to come on in. I was thinking for sure I would have to wait a week to have RRE take a look at it but that was wrong. I went in and Tony helped me out. Thanks Tony! Tony was completely helpful to me and my wife answering all of our questions and concerns.

Well the second time was my clutch replacement. That day I spoke to Tony I found out that I needed a clutch from the noises and test drive we took with Tony. So I made an appointment a week later, needed to get the finances situated first before making the appointment. So I was thinking again prior to calling in.....man I'll prolly have to wait awhile before I can get in to get this clutch installed....again I was wrong. I was able to get an appointment up for the following week. I was shocked again. I decided to make an appointment 2 weeks later just to save up more money. Anyways, I dropped off my car and picked it up the next day. Ready to go when they told me it was. The car felt great, had to get used to it, but it was nice. Later on that night I get a call from an unknown number......... It was Bobby from RRE. He called me up to check up on the clutch. I was really surprised to get this type of service. Thanks Bobby!

I am writing this for people like me at one time thinking........man I have to spend 1000's of bucks to get the service I hear about RRE staying late, helping out at the last minute, answering a few questions I have, setting up an appointment.......So that was totally wrong. I have been there twice, I doubt they remember me, but they treated me like I have been a customer forever. Well, they made me one customer that will always come back to RRE. Great shop and People!

Thanks for reading.
Mike

I first started dealing with RRE about 5 years ago. They are a straight up shop that tells you the truth whether you like it or not. Mostly I've just dealt with Mike W, but the times I've dealt with the rest of the RRE staff, they've all been great too. Last year I messed up tapping the hole in my exhaust manifold while installing a EGT sensor. I Called Mike around 6pm and told him I was stupid, he told me to bring it in right then. To make a long story short, it was after midnight when I drove off, EGT fully functional. Mike, Robert, Ty, Tony and the whole damn crew are the shiznit.

First and foremost a big thank you to RRE, I cannot say that enough and everyone here knows how good they are. I was able to bring my car in almost immediately and they did a lot of testing for a great price. Second is a warning for those who have the Greddy RSPL or VSPL intercooler kit. Before I make any complaints about this piece I just want to state that this is a good piece it’s just that the pipes that came with mine were below par. I have been dealing with a boost leak for the past couple of months and I have been taking it to local shops due to lack of time and I had no luck finding the leak. Finally I took it to RRE yesterday and they found my leak. Apparently the turbo outlet pipe for the intercooler was bent pretty bad, which is probably from the install and the flange was pretty screwed up. RRE said that the aluminum used on the piping was weak and that’s why it was messed up. Not only did they find the leak which was coming from the flange, but they were able to custom fit new piping to replace the bad piping. There is still more work to be done on the car (won’t boost past .8 bar now could be ecu or hardware) but they did a good job so far.

Thanks to Mike and Robert for staying afterward to look at my boosting issue. I will probably leave the car with them this week and pick it up after Memorial Day.

I had an alternator go bad and they stayed late to help me get my car out tonight on Memorial Day weekend no less.*

MikeW generously reserved for me something really special for our evos.* You really want to wait for this one...

A few details:

Cast Stainless* manifold- oem like quality + flows well + stock heat shield and intake possible for full stealth O0
v band tial 44mm wastegate(no gaskets to leak... FINALLY)
custom down pipe
new garrett turbo(can't say but is garrett bb and not a 3076 OR a 35r but offers some things of both)

Looking forward to getting the new motor broken in and a tune going.* I will post more when i get a chance.*

I am really hopeful about the new setup and will tell you it is strong even at wastegate boost levels :twisted:

The manifold and o2 housing look familiar to some other recent kit.
I really appreciate the fact that RRE is seriously looking into a solution that allows the use of the OEM airbox and intake. If I can unbolt the factory turbo/manifold and swap in this kit and it allows me to use my downpipe and OEM Intake system, sign me up. Other similar kits fall short of this. They've got the main components, but then leave out the minor, but important details like utilizing the factory heatshield and intake. This can make or break a sale especially for those of us here in California. Looking forward to RRE making it happen.

I hope they'll make a universal upper IC pipe similar to the GReddy.
That way:
1. No need to switch to a mini battery
2. You can use existing or OEM bov kits/valves
3. It would short cut any design to keep the MAF box (maybe)

Right now (Through the end of June) we are doing local installs only. We have installed 3 kits and every car needed a different set up for their own special reasons. All three were getting this manifold setup instead of jukey adapters, welded up tubular headers or some other internet conglomeration. For anyone local here it is $3500 for the turbo and parts, $400 for the install unless you need something very odd or super bling. For that much I can handle just about anything you can throw at me. Obviously it could be more or less depending on what junk you already had. But I am shooting for $3599 for the street price on the kit once we sort it all out.

I dont live in message board land full time so best is to stop by the shop so we can see what you gots and what all you need. We can talk price better that way. E-Mail also works wonders here. [email protected] There are so many turbo options, intake options, stealth vs. bling options, what DP you already have... But for now I cant see it costing anyone more than $3900 out the door installed for the next month or so.

Us and Slow Boy have the same Manifold and O2 housing piece. Slow Boy is East coast, RRE is West Coast. Beyond that we make up the "kit" differently. West coast guys get more pressure from the 5.0 so we are leaning for a more stock and sedate look. Also it is a track day culture here and a drag queen culture on the east coast (east coast is east of the 15 fwy, California being the center of the universe of course).

Both of us are shaking out what comes our "kits" and how to deal with all the different possible combinations on our own. I am using all factory nuts bolts and washers, factory style oil drain and water lines. I am going with a filtered oil supply and trying to finger out a way to make the line a bit more subdued. We just got a cast 4" intake pipe.

(assuming it's a schedule appointment)

We prefer not to do something like that while you wait. Better to drop it off in the evening the night before and pick it up the following evening. The mechanics get the car cool to work on and we are not working against the clock with you camped out on the couch all day.

I just want to say thank you to RRE for a late night thrash session on my car. It's a amazing to see how people show up at night :-o. I EGT was fried worst that chicken from el pollo loco :buck2:. Dr. Gray slap a new one in for me after the car cooled down which gave me time to discuss the future path for my evo. the road tuning session with the new turbo was incredible. I can't believe the difference in power. Dr.Gray dialed the car in nicely. :grin: after that I went to fill the tank with 100oct. and I turn the boost up to 25PSI and oh sh*t this car can spank some ass. it is scary the way the power comes on. the turbo will not give up all the way to red line. my love affair with my car has been rekindled thanks to RRE.

thanks guys, you really looked out for me! O0

Thank you RRE!* Robert drives out to my house at midnight to deliver my car and pick up the loaner.** They worked night and day to fix my posessed car and its electrical starter problem and got it done ON TIME so I could dyno tomorrow.*

Let's see...

We all know that it is hard to just "stop by" and get something installed at RRE. They are always loaded down with ton's of work because there shop is the shiznit!

So I went by today at around 10 am to pick up some T-bolt clamps (damn LICP kept blowing off) and I put my cams in the back seat "just in case" :uglystupid2: I was standing in the "lobby area" and Mike walked by me, and I asked if they had time to drop in a set of cams, and within a short period of time I had my answer and was handing over my keys to Edward to get those bad boys in. Long story short, RRE took care of me. To all the people in message board land, you get what you pay for, and I strongly believe in that, and what you get from RRE is top notch quality and great customer service

Big props to Chris, he answered all my "install" questions and explained a lot of what he was doing when he was throwin in my 272's.

Thanks Mike W and the RRE fam.

PS: That sand rail is going to be off the hook when it is done!

Thanks to Ty and Chris for handling an Impromptu Redline service for me. I basically showed up in the morning asking if they could do the service right after Mueller was finished with the suspension. Chris came over to Mueller a couple times to get a status, then made sure I was taken care of when the suspension was done. Never anything about not having an appointment, just great service and a great job. Thanks RRE!!!

I didn't know they did regular service there. I'll have to keep that in mind now that HB Mitsu is no more.
