When you say "No low end torque(stock turbo) are you talking about from 1k-3k rpm? The stock turbo is the one of the quickest spooling turbos which generates a good amount of torque.

 

by the way the OP speaks i think hes better off with a v12 lol.

 

Lol This is an Evo which is a boosted car. Not a Naturally Aspirated car

 

Yeah that is i'm hoping for new set up but no cams for now, just the hta green and other supporting mods. I'm sure it gonna be close to 400.

 

Lol I think i'm better off with a V12 haha, I should stop complaining about it. Hopefully the hta green will give me a little more to play with the low end.

 

well as far as turbos go of all choices out there, since your complainin about low end torque boom right off the line take off and go, the hta green bar none is one of the best overall low end with good midrange and top end turbos that are on the market today...good luck, recommendation throw some gsc s2s and springs/retainers with that turbo, ull hit 400 thats for sure...but without cams on a hta green unless its cold as hell and uve got 93 octane, i dont see 400 hp on pump gas.

 

Not to turn this into a debate about the HTA green, but im sure you should hit 400whp on pump gas even without cams. Just need a good amount of the right boltons

 

i think you'll be pleased with the hta green. that with good mivec tuning and you should have about 30psi of boost by 3500rpm, which i think you will adjust to easier. with these cars you have to sacrifice a little bit of low end power for an increase of overall power.. keep in mind they are still only 2L engines and without the turbo they only produce around 180-200hp flywheel.

maybe look into getting a 2.3L stroker or 2.4, it will make the turbo spool even quicker and give you more low end.

when comparing these cars curves to v8's and etc it is disappointing, but we can rev much higher also.

 

im doing another car atm with stock cams on evo 9 with hta green, i think he will pass the 400 mark on 93oct. will post results when its finished up .. of course its ecu boost, so its holding every last psi to redline which helps!

 

Thats really interesting! i made about 360awhp and 358 awtq... pretty much the same set up and boost as you are! great numbers! I would post up my graph, but i lost it along with my registration card!

 

V8s and other cars that are NA may be more responsive down low and such, but look at the platform as a whole. The Evo is a great Platform that can be use to do many things. Its a beast

I dont see why a HTA green w/boltons couldnt get 400whp on 93oct. With good tuning it should be had. Throw in cams though and you most definitely will be pass the 400whp mark.

Ill be on the look out Tom, keep up the good work man

 

well not to debate with u but with my mods and fp red with hks cams on 91 octane in summer i made 385 on a dynojet, so like i said it depends on gas mods and ambient temp.
you wont break 400 on an hta green on pump gas without cams , unless its tuned to the edge. And if by chance your factory freak does break that barrier, then better start savin for a built engine, or clutch for that matter.

 

Your also on 91 though. How much psi you running on the red?

 

Also, more torque down low means more stress on parts, less life on tires, and difficulty putting power to the grown in the v8.

 

Like I said it might be closed to 400 on a dynojet but since the weather is so hot now it South Florida, it's about 85 degrees, I'm afraid that would be the problem. Diiirk at AWD will be doing the tuning so that is even better.

One of my friend has a V8 mustang and i am dissapointing everytime i drive next to him.
