Quinn, I would be interested to see what would happen if you bolted my exact turbo to your motor (if it could be made to fit). I wonder if it would even get into boost by redline. Although that class of compressor has definitely been used successfully on Hondas, the exhaust housing is really big for a 1.6 liter 4 cylinder.

this blue one was sick:

11/15/2009 9:36:04 PM

11/15/2009 9:40:48 PM

^i think both pretty much ran low 10s to high 9s.

11/15/2009 10:12:45 PM

How was the shootout? I totally forgot that evom.net existed I used to post on there a lot back when I first got my evo.

11/15/2009 10:35:27 PM

^^^^ I used to like pictures like that, now they just look so unrealistic that I immediately think "loser who photoshops pics with a pirated copy of PS"

11/15/2009 10:39:58 PM

^I don't think thats photoshopped. I can tell by the pixels.


also...is that a chute canister on the back of that evo, lol.

A parachute wouldnt do much fucking good in a cannister would it?

11/15/2009 10:45:49 PM

I suppose that would be the point of a release button so, you know...you can still accelerate without a giant parachute dragging behind you

Post the map for the turbo and I'll plot it out. I was messing around a little in higher gears on some big hills and I feel some clutch slippage. Once my friend got out (10% weight reduction) it went away .

11/16/2009 12:36:00 AM

I don't have a turbine map for the P trim turbine wheel on my turbo, closest I could find is the GT40 wheel which is 1 mm larger



blue line would be closest

The forums are still ticking. I'd at least still be checking out the local forums. There's a pretty big crew of evos between Raleigh and Fayetteville.

Well i'm no JBaz but I know a bit more about photography than the average bear. All i did was some cropping, although I guess it shouldn't matter.

In any case, I left the meet feeling like a tool for being the only evo out of 30 that was still stock

11/17/2009 11:49:17 AM

STOCK FOR LIFE.

11/17/2009 12:08:14 PM

well, at least another month

11/17/2009 12:50:11 PM

go for stage 13 d00d

11/17/2009 12:58:34 PM

Don't commit blasphemy.

11/17/2009 1:07:36 PM

I'm getting ready to hit 28k on her, if it was gonna break I guess it would have broken already. I'd be lying if i didn't say i've got a few bolt ons in mind.

btw, updated my post with liek 20 new pics: http://forums.evolutionm.net/7713892-post2.html

11/17/2009 4:49:49 PM

I'm at 77,000 miles...and the only thing i'm having to swap out is my cat this week.

also still stock for life

11/17/2009 4:58:31 PM

^^ I bet you beat me to 30k.

11/17/2009 5:52:31 PM

^^ you can't possibly be on the stock clutch, right?

Quote :

"264 to the wheels stock y0"

are those things way underrated or something? I thought they were rated at 275 or so at the crank?

11/17/2009 5:54:43 PM

^stock clutch, stock everything. Haven't replaced anything except tires, brake pads, oil, fluids etc...

11/17/2009 5:55:47 PM

HIS CARROTS INDICATE HE WAS TALKING TO ME

[Edited on November 17, 2009 at 5:59 PM. Reason : I am still on my stock clutch.]

11/17/2009 5:59:29 PM

I forgot you existed so I assumed they were to me. Plus why would anyone need to replace a stock clutch with less than 30,000 miles...so again...assumed it was to me.

11/17/2009 6:01:43 PM

that datsun was bad bro

11/17/2009 6:12:39 PM

^^ I think my Evo's clutch died in the low 20k range...maybe mid 20k. Well below 30k, at any rate.

11/17/2009 6:47:59 PM

^^^^^^ 290 hp (crank), 224 lb-ft, stock 3.2L, 6 speed

that's all I got

still good enough for a ~13.2 sec 1/4 mile pass with sub 5 sec 0-60mph times

i didn't buy it for big hp numbers anyway, it's exactly what i want.

11/18/2009 1:17:42 AM

^^ couldn't be from 6k plus launches could it?

11/20/2009 8:16:37 AM

I actually only launched it hard a few times (a few being like 2, 3, maybe 4)...and even then, they weren't balls-out 6k+ launches.

11/20/2009 9:34:57 AM

you must have been doing something...I'm still riding at 77k on a stock clutch *touch wood*

11/20/2009 10:30:04 AM

Well, I lived on an island in northwestern WA with ton of curvy backroads (to include my commute to work every day), and I drove it pretty hard.

I also heel/toe during braking or downshift to decelerate a lot, but I match always match revs, so there isn't much clutch slippage.


and either way, I haven't had similar issues with other vehicles. Even my supercharged S2000, which BARELY had enough clutch (with the stock unit...you could feel the clutch slip for a second or two when you made a hard shift at redline) to handle the increased power (or more correctly, torque), was still on the stock clutch when I sold it at 75k miles.

11/20/2009 10:39:04 AM

I, too, drive hard pretty much all the time and always...

I'm about to hit 40k on my bmw that I bought a year after you bought your car.
