Hi everyone,
New guy here..
I just had the pleasure of getting my 2013 MR tuned at RRE with the following mods:
AMS fmic
AMS uicp
AEM intake
RRE single exit stealth exh
RRE boost controller
Made 315 whp, 320 wtq
Other mods:
Ohlins, whiteline rck, sway bars, etc..
Car only has 2k miles still..
Thanks for looking..
Not bad.. Congrats on the tune! Mike's awesome!! My 2013 MR made alittle less torque then you but same hp. Car feels great!!
What mods did you have?
It was a fun drive home, a few 3-4 gear blasts on the 5, lol
Aem intake, test pipe, RRE dual exhaust and 3port :)
Interesting, your test pipe and my AMS fmic cancelled each other out.
Nice numbers. Are you also running a high flow cat or the stock cat?

Yes I do have the high flow cat, forgot to mention that..Originally Posted by nechronius
To get to the 340-350 mark, what should be the next step for me?
Without going to e85 or bigger turbo that is. I haven't really seen a single e85 station anywhere near me..
Best bet is to talk to mike at RRE.. He knows the steps required to achieve customer goals :)
The following recipe is direct from the RRE master chef.* The info is about four months old, but should still be very close.* As noted, your best bet is to contact the kitchen directly for the most current info.
Basically the way I read the recipe below is that the biggest difference between 320hp and 345hp is the cams.* Roughly $4100+ for all the work necessary to get around the magic 350 hp mark without getting a bigger turbo on an MR and still get finger licking Evo goodness.
Oh yes, using the below recipe, Ernesto, it sounds like the only ingredients you're missing are the cams and downpipe and retune, so an additional $1400 or so out the door to hit your target.

The turbo, injectors and fuel pump are all nicely at their limit.

Very cool, thanks for the info nechronius..
I will enjoy what I have for now, do a couple of track events and then phase 2:)
By the way, how does a cam change affect drivability and mpg? Will it still drive smooth? Does it have a lumpy idle? Reliability? Does it require valve spring change after 20k miles?
Thanks for your input.
No idea what it's like with cams in an Evo, honestly. Someone else will have to chime in with the answer to that question. Speculation would be a slightly lumpier idle with a raspier exhaust note.

Maybe I'll start a new thread to post this topic. Thnks.
Since you already have a tune from them, give RRE a call and ask them how cams would affect your car.* Some people don't even recommend cams on a stock turbo but Mike does for his step two and he can tune for them to be effective.* I have them and my girl told me there are slight idle issues currently (I'm deployed so she took the car to get them installed).* It's going back to RRE when I get back next month and Mike is going to do his thing to smooth it out and for all I know it might not even be due to the cams (having to go through my girl as a relay for info means I don't always get the right details lol).* Also, take a look at my sig to get an idea of what else you might want to get next to get to 340+ hp.* Remember our MR's are always going to come up a bit shorter on numbers than a GSR with the same mods because of our tranny.*

I see that you did the port and polish on your exh manifold, was that a good
Improvement? Who did the work on that?
Thanks.
Bought it from a guy on another forum who did the job himself. The work was solid. Decent breathing improvement but I will be getting rid of it as I just bought a MAP longrunner to go with my FP Green build.
