It’s been 8.50

No thanks :)

485hp and nitro on a Lancer that's just asking for heat problems with such crammed exhaust manifold configuration, I hope you at least got a vented hood lol. My Evo is 355hp and it gets hella toasty under the hood. Interior is in my opinion alright, it's not a luxury car, but an economy sedan and Evo is just that with bucket seats and nicer steering wheel and I like that about it.

@@AnabolicGoat My Lancer GT Wagon gets hella hot man. Currently running a stock Evo X Hood for now. It helps but it's not enough. I definitely need larger hood vents, thinking about going with a Seibon CF hood, it's not about the style but the function I need man. I also need to upgrade my Radiator, if I could install larger fans, that would be great. Currently researching a set up right now. I would gladly take suggestions man. Building my FBO GT, I never took into account, the amount of heat my Lancer would build underneath the hood. The overcrowding of space is honestly, kicking my ass man. I took 2 days off work hoping to re-route a bunch of stuff, then got dumped with snow here MN. Punch me in the face. I wanted to fully re-route my intake with my custom FAB intake box and utilize my Evo X Intake snorkel. I also wanted to move my battery underneath my rear seats, since my spare tire well is taken up by 3 Scuba tanks, 2 nos tanks and 1 hydrogen tank, One of my long time old skool hot rodder friends hooked me up with the current set up. As of right now, I have a custom temp gauge mounted to my radiator, another hooked up on upper coolant line, then finally a temp gauge mounted to the firewall. The gauge that heats up the most is the gauge closet to manifold along the firewall. Not surprised. Haha. I on my front bumper, the nose area, I need to do some nose cutouts, I bought R32 GT-R Nose vents. That should also help with airflow and cooling. Anyways, I appreciate the reply back man, we'll have to do some brainstorming. I hope your Evo X is doing well too.

@@Shim_Shack_Studio The Seibon CF hood should help massively compared to stock Evo hood, but the biggest problem is the location of exhaust manifold as I mentioned. You might want to look into a top mount/side mount turbo setup which should reduce temps in a sense that it's not completely crammed behind the engine. As for intake I haven't had any problem running Evo intake snorkel, though I was thinking about routing the intake somewhere in front of driver side wheel and making some sort of baffle so it doesn't get wet (the Evo is more or less a daily). I tried it by mocking up some aluminium pipes I had laying around and it dropped intake temps pretty well, so that might help a bit with overall high temps in engine bay. I don't really know how well can you do it on a GT Lancer, but it's an idea. I think you are not really worried about the bumper since you mentioned cutouts, so I say go for it and use them and if you want to run the snorkel then try to route it directly to intake box/filter and if you haven't heat shielded it yet try to do that too. I'm hardly an expert in this area, but we can figure something out. You had some good ideas about how to do it so might aswell try and monitor. Good luck with it man.

I’m doing just fine I’m also married. So there’s that.

Forgot about the channel honestly lol
