Would anyone buy a upper plumm

Morning,
I am Mitchell Ames, and the owner of Hot Toyz Kustomz. We are switching gear and starting to build performane part for the Mitsubishi. We want to build a new upper plumm for the lancer evo. Does anyone think it is worth the effort, or the stock is good enough for everyone. This not spam, and I am not asking anyone to buy anything or come to my shop. Just want some feed back.

Sorry, no spell check. We want to buid a new upper intake manifold. Is it worth all the R&D......?

the entire intake manifold? Design makes the difference there are a few brands out there already. high HP evos get them but most people get AMS kit

Yes, the entire manifold. We just got a new dyno so we starting to play with the idea of building parts. I know there are few parts all raedy out there, but we think we can do it better. If not better, then at least the same numbers and a cleaner look. But we want some feed back what everyone like and dont like. You know, a bunch of redneck from up state might not be the best judge of what the whole World wants

well if you can infact get better dyno results or at the very least look cleaner in the engine bay with the same results as cometitors I would say youll have the intrest there

I been looking in this site, and it looks like EMonz57 is the one to know. It is good to meet you.
We are working on a design and seeing what numbers we get on the flow bench & dyno. I am not sure if we can do any better the other systems out there. We will have keep R&D until we get the right numbers on the dyno and the track.
Is there anything that anyone is looking for this part.

Power and airflow. if it is no less restrictive than stock no one will buy it. Obviously the price for some will make a difference keep in mind alot of us who buy a $30k+ car have car payments and the wallets dont hold cash as well

If you want to design something...degisn a rock solid affordable transfer case

It will be better than stock and around the same price as everyone else. It will polish for looks. We are not sure if we will use stainless steel or aluminum. Like I said we are designing now so it will be a seconds or two before we have any numbers.
I have a friend in the tranny business. I could ask him to work on it. Might need a car for some R&D. Is anyone up to it.

a car to do what with?? My EVO is in southeast coast Ma. It has basic mods

I am not talking about you and your car. I am sure there some guys in the New York area that are building a car for the winter. If so, then maybe we can work something out. I have friends up here but no one really into building something that serious. But, you guys do not know me that well, so I will take this slow. I just want feedback on what everyone wants.

Strong transfer cases lol.

Strong transfer cases lol.

EVOs like stronger Tcases so we can do a whole shot off the line

I will ask my friend to look into it. Maybe we can work something out for the spring. Tell me what is wrong with the case now. Beside it breaking.........More details, the better for me. By the way, I am an Elec/Mech Eng, and a shop owner.

They dont like huge loads. They cant take 7k launches.... and every EVO owner wants to dump the clutch at least a few times. Not sure as the technical aspect of what is 'wrong' with it. Its just weak in general... causing it to basically grenade all over the place.

It actually is not weak.  it is just alot of abuse on it when you dump the clutch.  I dont dump my clutch.  If you burn the clutch the TC will be fine but then you are dealing with a clutch replacment but atleast it is easier on the wallet than a TC.  The thing than makes it so abusinve is that it has straight cut gears and when it gets the shock of a luanch it is not forgiven.

I going to gut my friend to look at it. Are there better parts available for the Tcase. If so where and how much.

Morning guys, I thought I would get more feed back on what they want & dont want. I did tell my friend in the tranny business about your problems and he will look into it. I hope everyone have a good Hoilday, and talk to everyone soon. Also, thanks for everything.

the 03-04 EVOs have no LSD which doesnt help much... I hear alot about the 2005 EVO RS has a better Tcase than the others but not sure on details

From what I understand it is just the RS but i really dont know.  People may just use that cause the RS is a cheaper car so maybe parts dont get a huge mark up like MR parts would.   I have not the slightest idea

Morning guys. I hope everything went ok over the holidays. I am looking at everyone posts. I want to make sure that I am understanding everyone right. When you say LSD, are you talking about limit slip diff....Again, I working with my tranny guy on this. The problem we are having is donor cars. Not that we are trying to mess up anyone cars. Just need cars to install new parts in and dyno. Let us know if anyone is from the East coast who want to get on.

My tranny guy told me that he has a part that replaces the LSD with new gears. He said that should help. He can get the gears for around $450, and another $250 for labor. Any tranny shop could do the work. let me know if that is enough for you or everyone needs more information.
