Whether it's modified road cars or fully built track cars, we're all about finding ways to make the machines we love faster and more fun. Peter Tarach and Dave Pratte, the driving forces behind Speed Academy, have been building, modifying, evaluating and racing cars for over two decades. Peter, Dave are diehard enthusiasts who know a thing or two about testing performance parts and building cars.
Great progress! About the only things I would recommend would be a metal stock 9 bov. It’s going to function much better at low throttle angles and not upset the maf with reversion. Other thing to consider would be a hks Kansai intake box to pull air from outside the engine compartment. I’ve got one and it works well for 600whp.
I just realized that very few mention how much you guys enjoy each other…… Well, I’m going to be THAT guy. All of us car guys have the guy we call for help, because we know they’re solid humans, like Moose for you two. That needs to NOT be taken for granted in regards to you guys. Love the rational (rationale?) that was applied to this build. Compliments to your relationship/friendship. I feel like that is a big part of your popularity. I know its a factor in MY viewership/enjoyment. It’s big part of why I’M a fan… Cheers to you both, (every Saturday). Put me in your old guy ‘Saturday morning cartoon’ crew, if I’m not already in that premier group. Be well, Gentlemen. We are here for more of you guys. Only reason I’m this late is that I’m on an aircraft repair, and was at work when I would have been enjoying this post.
I'm assuming you guys are getting the ECU reflashed if not going standalone? Those Mitsubishi MAFs don't like round pod filters, or at least they don't for the 6Gx and 6Ax applications.
I’m excited to see how it does on the dyno! The exhaust does sound good! You guys should look into raffling the cars you build, I promise you’re gonna make more than just selling them!
Hahahahaha I'm cracking up so much the trick to putting the injector clips on is do it when the injector is plugged in. So half install the clip the pucg the injector in the pushbit the rest of the way.
@6:13, I had the same issue when i had a Evo GTA, i replaced the metal dip stick tube with a rubber one. Made it myself using heater hose and clamped it, the transmission has a lip on it where you can put the heater hose onto, allowing you to put a worm clamp to tighten it down. Literally the same issue with the same objective, to get the whooshing sound 🤣🤣 I tried relocating the metal one but I dont exactly remember why i couldn't get it to work, i think i ran a stock airbox so no room..
I don't think the RU-vid car community realize the quality of videos they give us. This Channel should be up there with Donut, Mighty car Mods ETC. Love you guys as always keep up the good work
Still getting my head round why Mitsubishi decided to fit the Evo 8 engine, non-metal BOV etc to the 9 GTA wagon when the manual wagon got the MIVEC motor. Good work so far but the exhaust seems a little short and I’d be worried about it melting the bumper. Definitely extend it at the backbox flange if you can!
My first mods were hks intake , cop kit and cat back . The cop kit is a must ! It pulled like a train ! I have the radium catch cans that live under the strut bars too .
