Perrin Black Oil Catch Can

Perrin Black Oil Catch Can

This is not needed for power upgrades or anything that has to do with performance

however it gives a owner a peace in mind knowing that additional oil gunk

from engine is being "catched" to keep it from being stored in the engine itself.

I will post up my engine bay after I am done with all the upgrades.



GSC Power Division S1 Cams

GSC Power Division S1 Cams

The S1 camshafts is used in cars with upgraded single turbo larger than 57mm.

The S1 camshaft will be installed later on the JSR X however for now

I purchased it for future installation.



GSC Power Division S1 Cams

Some specification...

These cams will not have bottom end losses over stock cams; nothing but gains and will promote an extremely flat torque curve. Gains of 40-70whp (depending on Turbo) have been seen by simply bolting the S1 cams in and reshimming. Designed for a rev range of 3500-8000rpms, these cams require a single valve spring upgrade over stock. 450-800whp camshaft set with an idle slightly rougher than stock.

S1 Specs gsc-6030S1
Intake 269 Duration 9.90mm peak lift, 108 degree Centerline
Exhaust 269 Duration 9.90mm Peak Lift, 114 degree Centerline

1000cc Injector Dynamics

1000 Injector Dynamics(ID1000)

Additional Tune Ups needed for my Turbo Kit.

Since I am looking for around 400WHP on my Evo X

the 1000 Injector Dynamics was a good choice to go with.

Turbo - Garrett GTX3071R Turbo kit

Garrett GTX3071R Turbo kit

Nothing too complicated... need more power? need more speed? Bigger Turbo!

Well... to be honest.. there is more to it than just changing your turbo but

with additional tune ups I went with the Garrett GTX3071R Bolt-on Turbo Kit.

I am happy with this setup and I will upload my dyno sheet later on

JSR X Suspension - Stance GR+

Stance GR+

My New Suspension - Stance GR+ Coilovers w/

Probably the second most important part in AutoX... the suspension.

Actually... I would definitely put it first or second if tires are not included.

There are many other suspensions you can get for your car. Stance being a popular one.

Here are some features of the Stance GR+

• 15-Way Damping Adjustable
• Adjustable Camber Uppermount
• Pillowball Uppermount
• Cold Wound Linear Spring
• Inverted Monotube Shocks
• Dustboot
• Aluminum Collars & Upper Mounts
• Height Adjustable Lower Bracket
• Helper Spring

The JSR X will not be using the standard Stance GR+ springs but swift springs upgrade with ratio of 11 & 9. This just makes the ride more stiffer than the standard Stance GR+ springs.

Here is also a graph of what Stance GR+ does...

Ricer to Racer

My History - From 350z to Evo X to JSR X

At Last!! My Evo X is finally tuning up to JSR X!

It's in a shop in chicago called Touge Factory and I gotta say...

these guys don't mess around!

Like many guys out there, I too walked the path of a "ricer" before I started AutoX..

Getting influenced from movies like fast and furious and Initial D..

Fast and Furious

Initial D

..my frist car which was a Nissan 350z was all about the looks but inside was all stock.

My First Car & Motorcycle - Suzuki GS500 & Nissan 350Z

My First Car & Motorcycle - Suzuki GS500 & Nissan

Did I like the look on my 350Z?.... well, to be honest, yes I did. I had underlights with

subwoofers and speakers on the back for my beats.

This lasted for about a year until I got introduced to a motorsport called AutoX (Look at my past post for more information on Autocross a.k.a AutoX)

My 350Z couldn't handle the intense course that was made in Rantoul Airport

and it spun out so bad that you could literally see a huge piece of my tire chunk

flying across the course.

Of course I was not that good of a AutoX driver back then but when a veteran who has been

AutoXing for nearly 10 year drove the car he was very disappointed at my car.

Is a 350Z a bad car? Hell No! It's an awesome car! Just that my car sucked real bad due to

it's past... which I will not talk about it...

Anywayz, so I sold my 350Z and got another car.. the one I have right now. An Evo X.

It was a sweet deal I got from a guy who lived outside chicago, who didn't know the value of the car!

I've had my Evo X for about a year and a half and it's not a car... it's a freaking MACHINE!

In the streets it's a nice car but it truely shines when it's pushed to do what it's made to do.

To Race!

Next blog I will post what mods I've done to the car and a dyno sheet from AMS!

Upgrades on Evo X, Turbo, Heads, Cams, Tires, Suspension and lots of kits.

Before Shipping My Evo X to Korea - Fixes and Upgrades

So... as my time in the states is coming to an end, I am REALLY excited to go back to Korea!

Since I will also be shipping my Evo X to Korea, I've decided to do some major upgrades

so when I get there I don't have to worry about it.

It's been in my mind for a while now and I have finally decided on what I am going to do to my Evo X.

I usually daily drive my car and I also auto-x with it couple times. 

Autocross (aka. auto-x) is a growing sport in the states where people 

race against time in a course laid out with traffic cones.

Here is an example of what an autocross is...

Kentucky  Autocross

Sited from Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc_aKcrbiaE&feature=player_detailpage

It's a great motorsport and it's increasing greatly in the states,

but for now lets leave it there and in the close future I will post in detail

about what is autocross and it's specifications.

Going back to my upgrades on my Evo X..
