Been very busy, alot more evo 10s tuned inlcuding the MR model, Love the new transmission. Here is one of the MRs on the dyno, baselined at 238 wheel hp and made 290 wheel hp after the reflash tune.

Finally took the Evo 8 back to the track this is with no weight reduction really, ran 9.73@150.2MPH, 3380LB at the scales with the HKS FCON VPRO ecu. The car makes 900 Wheel HP currently.

Plans are to remove weight from the car once we hit 9.5 or so. I guess whenever we get a chance it will go back out to the track, busy busy.

Checkout the videos section, www.iveytune.com/videos.htm for new video of the Evo making passes.

Talkers talk, doers do....................Doing some work on the evo, will be out to the track again shortly.

Stage one is heavy, and we will lighten as we go along, it currently has a fully certified 8.5 sec NHRA rollcage, and chute since it already went over 153 mph in street trim. No excuses.....................

We have started flashing the evo X ecu with Ecutek technology, stay tuned.............

Happy new YR! Well kind of late for that. Not a bad winter so far, we haven't done alot to the evo 8 but finally got it back on the dyno to double check everything. It's going to have the cage installed and some weight reduction for this yr but mostly will stay the same. It dynod well yesterday with the recent changes made.

We have had a few evo 10s in, nice new car, I like it. We did a custom exhaust on one in full 3" stainless and it dynod 266 wheel average. Too bad we didn't bother to dyno before the exhaust, subsequently the owner went to the track and ran 13.1 like that.

Been doing alot of cars with the FCON VPRO, what a great system, and for a great price, check it out on our page,

Went back to the track with the evo. Track rental at atco Raceway with the MB E55 club.

Ran 9.80@153.32, very poor traction only a 1.65 60ft. I guess that's it for the yr, we will see what happens next yr with better traction. Videos will be posted shortly.

Merry Xmas to all and Happy New Yr when it arrives!!!

November 20th, 2007.

Congrats to Mike of Max Psi on becoming the Fastest US based E36/E46 M3. He ran a blistering 9.92@145 mph to take the record. He is also the first US based M3 to enter the 9 second zone in the 1/4 mile. We tuned this car on our AWD Dynojet Dyno and it made in excess of 800 Wheel HP.

Sean tuned this car using the AEM engine management system.

We have not had a chance to take the evo back to the track, we have made some changes so it should go better but we have to try to do more than one pass next time, can't beat running 9s on the first and only pass without Nitrous!

October 23rd, 2007

Worked on the evo for a total of 2 wks on and off, we managed to run 9.98@147 this weekend at 3450lb, on C16 fuel, NO NITROUS!!

This is just the start of our excercise with the evo, stay tuned for more before seasons end.

March 3, 2007

Busy busy busy. A lot of cars tuned since our last post as you can see it's been a while. We are getting ready to change the scope of the Iveytune organization stay tuned, it will all be beneficial for the customer.

Going to concentrate heavily on our evolution 8 during this season to try and surpass goals that have been set for it, let's see what happens.

Oh we ran 9.6 in the Supra last yr on the stock Toyota auto trans, very nice street driver.

The IveyFlash has been released using both Ecutek and our own flash solutions, see the link on the main page for details and pricing.

We have already flashed one evo9, and like the results so far.

The race season is over and I would like to thank all those that helped me through the season. Next yr should prove interesting as we will be moving in a slightly different direction, stay tuned.

Put the Shearermotorsport.com GT3582R Turbo kit on the evo last weekend. Car dynod at 504hp on 29 psi boost pressure. It was breaking up and the dyno session was cut short. The missfire issue was fixed and now it is running at even higher boost with no misfire. The target is running 10 sec on the stock engine.

Still no transfer case available for the Talon. So it seems that will be it for the yr.

Here is the Dyno sheet and installed Photos of the new Turbo kit on the evo, better info to come soon.

October 17, 2005

I Went to Englishtown to run at the NHRA fall Nationals, I won this race last yr.

Qualified #1 with a 9.41@151 MPH at 3122LB, near the legal 3100 minimum for NHRA.

Lost in the finals to Julie Stepan of ESX, throttle body shaft broke while I was 5 cars or so ahead, it sucked to watch her drive by, but it's part of the game.

Ran at Nopi ATCO, qualified #1 at 9.64@150.8, first ever by a non Honda, and also redlit in the finals against Matt Keller, part of the game.

I have had a good season, and may make a few passes at lighter weight to end the Yr.

Bean put his car back on the dyno last week during the rain, I sorted out a minor issues and recalibrated the old E6K, we set a record for no nitrous on a GT35R.

Here is the sheet.

Oh and here is the new header for the evo8 made by SHEARERMOTORSPORT.com, the evo is going to be a very very serious car quite soon

September 23rd, 2005

Finally took the evo back to the track, ran 11.91@115 full weight (3470lb), this is inline with the 400 HP level achieved on the dyno, on pumpgas with methanol injection. I am happy with the result as the car isn't at 100% quite yet. There is some movement in the turbo and it may be an issue.

NHRA At Englishtown is in a week and honestly I have not tested the Talon, it has been sitting since the atco race. Perhaps this weekend.

Went to NOPI NDRA drag meet at atco last weekend. Ran the turbo4 class, qualified #1 with a 9.64@150.8. (video of this pass is on the "videos" page.) Was a close field with 5 cars in the 9 sec range.

I made my way through the eliminations and ended up redlighting in the final against Matt . I will be back to try it again before the year is out.

Right now focusing on removing weight and changing the turbo to output more power on the talon, wanting to drop a serious # by yrs end.

Also the NHRA race is comin up Oct1-2, have to put the weight back in for that race. I think this is the last time I will do this as I cannot justify adding weight to the car to run it in an event.

The Volks are now on the evo and they look great.

Sean

August 9th, 2005

Took the evo back to the dyno tonight. Had made 394HP/437ftlb, last time. Changed the plugs and map sensor so had to go back to dial some stuff in.

This trip the car made 401.96HP and 439.69 ftlb of torque.

Here is the sheet, hopefully it will run well at the evo vs wrx shootout weekend after next.

The Talon is sitting ready to be tested right now, fixed a few issues, and hoping for very good results next time out.

Been so busy, tuning, racing etc.

2 Wks ago the talon ran 9.74@148 mph winning the Hot rod class at the summer slam event. I usually run the street class but stepped up one class with full racecars for this event, with luck and good reliability I was able to clip 2 9 second contenders to win the class.

The Alky injection is finally on the evo and it is being tested now, should be hitting the track sometime this week to see what it picked up on the alky, should be interesting. It sure is fun driving around on pumpgas and 30psi.

That 9.74 is a serious step, and we had a pass that was better but missed 4th gear. 9.74 means that we have the fastest 4g63 powered mitsu in the NY/NJ/PA area, period...............evo, rwd, whatever.

Thanks to sponsors like the Drivehsaft shop, RC Engine, motorsport machine, Tilton, Shepracing.

Stay tuned.

Well it seems the AMS parts on the evo work well. Slapped them in, adjusted the EMS and it made what you see below with 22-23 psi peak and falling off to 19 psi or so. Nothing special, nothing fancy just good parts that work well together. I could ramp the boost to 27psi on pump like some do but for what, it won't work well running on pumpgas on the street. I will leave those dyno spikes and tricks to them, good marketing.

Of course this car will have to be taken to the track to verify. Next up Alcohol injection kit and more boost. Trying to stay off the racegas.

The Af isn't reading correctly for some reason.
All for now

Started modding the evo seriously. Took some time to order and install the following.

AMS Front mount intercooler

AMS upper and lower intercooler pipes. With Tial BOV.

HKS Cams

AMS 1000cc Injectors.

AMS Full stainless (down to the bolts) 3" exhaust system with test pipe and Highflow cat.

AMS Fuel pump Upgrade

AMS Mini Battery Kit.

AMS 3" Intake pipe for Speed Density Applications.

AEM 1313 ECU for the evo along with 5 Bar map sensor.

Iveytune Calibration for EMS.

Let the spankings begin!!! The eventual goal is a 800+ HP street machine capable of battling with some of the best.....and winning.

The AMS parts are top notch and the service was great, I have seen alot of parts in my time these are the highest quality I have seen in a long time.

As for the Talon we are getting that ready for the NOPI race, it's ready now anyways, like always, we are ready to race as soon as we are finished racing, no real downtime.

What a week. Sheldon Celestine came to us regarding his setup and things that could be done to improve reliability. There were a list of things done to try and improve consistency. The car was put on the Mustang dyno and cranked out respectable horsepower. The car was taken to import survival series this weekend and won the class, due to it running well and also due to lack of much driver error :-) Congrats Sheldon, keep it up!!

The talon is sitting in the facility having work done to get it ready for the next race while a host of mods are being done to the evo8 right now. The talon is going to absolutely fly this yr with the new mods then all attention will be turned to making an evo fast.

stay tuned.

2 Fridays ago went to test at Englishtown. Intended to make one pass to test the launch control for the next Days NHRA race at atco. I get there take the car off the trailer and enter the line. I see the Rx7 of a rival of mine in New York. Needless to say we ran a friendly run and I managed to get to the other end first. 9.82@150.4 new best time for me. Traction was non existent, and this has become a common thread, the tilton is holding up great thus far, worth it's weight in gold.

So next day I head off to qualify at Atco for the Sport RWD class, I had won this race last yr, it would be tough this yr. I line up to make my qualifying pass, and I break the transfer case as I leave the line, I make it to the end and it was enough to qualify.

I return the next day, traction was horrible and I manage to win my class again. Another NHRA wally!!

What a weekend, but now I realize that there is a traction issue with the car that needs to be addressed. There is plenty of power and wheelspin in 2nd gear has become a huge issue. Some top secret parts were sourced through a japanese importer to help alleviate the problem. Just put it this way the drivetrain will be quite different next time out, as will the suspension. It should net good gains in the 60ft and 330 ft areas of the track. If it works as planned the times should drop another 3-4 tenths of a second just based on traction. Let's wait and see.

Planning to attend the Nopi turbo 4 race in Rockingham NC at the end of june, if the car can be together and tested by then, the journey will be made to NC.

Also, the car was at the Sema IAS show last weekend being displayed in the NHRA racers row, yours truly was on hand to sign autographs, funny eh.

That's all for now.

Went to NHRA this weekend, was pretty good. Ran into a wicked fast RX7, redlit. Ran a 9.9@148 not bad for 3rd pass on the new clutch, it is holding well, thanks to the guys at Tilton, carbon technology is amazing.

Still working out bugs but it is looking promising so far.

Allan Friedman went 9.98@138 this weekend making him the fastest, quickest, and only evo8 so far to go into the 9 sec range off the bottle, congrats to him as he worked hard to get it there.

Sean

April 20th, 2005

Alan did it again!! He went to the evo vs sti shootout in Norwalk Ohio and won the class. Kevin Lawson took the wheel of the car and ran 10.18@141.8!! This resets the record for the worlds fastest and quickest evo8 off nitrous. We had made a completely new basemap for Allan after the Etown Victory to address a few issues, it seemed to work out well. We are predicting 9 seconds for the evo very shortly.

The Talon is also back together, Rich of RC machine in Ronkonkomo has provided us with perhaps the best motor have ever seen, no complaints thanks Rich!!!

Spent a few hours yesterday making checks and also test launching on th tilton carbon clutch, it is different but it doesn't give up, the best there is.

Sean

April 12th, 2005

This past weekend Alan Friedman of Dynoflash LLC, managed to eclipse the past record of 10.51@135 in the 1/4 mile, with a 10.35@139 MPH run, he backed it up with a 10.40@138 run to make his EVO 8 the WORLDS FASTEST EVO 8 WITHOUT NITROUS.

He was operating on the same tuneup we provided for him on the Dyno when he made over 650 to the wheels on c16 fuel.

Congrats Al and it was quite a satisfaction seeing the Ivey product working in such fine fashion.

Did we Mention that he also won the First Import survival series while doing this? Congrats!!

The Talon engine is almost finished and should be in for shakedowns this coming week, it will be interesting to see what it runs with the new clutch dialed in.

That's all for now.

Sean

April 5th 2005

Scrambling to get the Talon back together for the races on the 23rd and 30th. Alot of new stuff being done some will have to wait as the car must be 100% ready. It should run alot better this yr with the larger turbo and engine revisions, also the addition of the tilton clutch should help alot.

The evo parts are being collected and a gameplan made up for attack, chances are the evo will be running very very well shortly, no numbers yet, but lets just say the talon won't have any power advantage. We have a game plan but more on that later.

Welcome to the site. Hopefully it will get real busy around here. Picked up the evo 8 a few weeks back will be interesting modding that.

The talon is still in pieces as we are doing a full checkout on the drivetrain and making sure all is well. The engine is also being checked, it has been run for a long time, we thought it was time it got checked, Last pass it made was 10.0@150, after 3 yrs.

Also congrats to Allan Friedman of Dynoflash, LLC. We did some AEM work for him and it worked out great he was at 620+ Wheel HP on 93 Octane pumpgas, using the Buschur Racing Alcohol injectionn kit on the dyno, astonishing. Here is the sheet.
